~Hello, hello, hello!

_A certain young miss took off
work due to a severe cold, but
was seen jumping and we do

mean jumpin. Oh well, we ali! began to play and on: thinkingJ

need a little play.

Why wasn~t EW with sweet
little JA? If he knew what a
certain young man thinks abeut
her, he wouldn~t let her go for
one second. The same goes for
you BD. PH should really be
kept under lock and key.

A big wedding is about to take
place. VT Suffer,.

RH really took your breath
away in that Robin Hood Greer
which she ~was wearing Sunday..D. H. we hear that you are
only 15. If that is so, you really
should be reported to the juvenile authorities. You ar2 simply terrific:

HVZ and RA were seen leaving- the Royal Gardens dance
and then returnimg about an;

hour lat2r. Don~t you think you|
should have stayed until the
dance was over? Oh,~ I see. You
were hungry. We. understand,

A certain little wifie will b? |.
leaving séen for a vacation. My,
what a time some yourfg man is}

going to have.

To the young married father
who is running around: your
wife knows about it.

You are being check2d up on,
so watch your step. You are a
good boy and I ~would~ hate to

Fsee you minus a head.:
EJW looked very nice in PH~s

coat. Why don~t you chicks wear

your owr clothes? You look

much-nic2r in them.
When th? cat~s away, the mice

twill play is and was the theme

of several iittle chicks Sunday,
what~s to it me_ friends?

Well, it is time to ptish up
the next piece of Kleenex, so 1
have tv go.

Goodbye,

Your Ace Coon Boon,
KILROY.

For the many readers of the
creeper, the creeper tak?s time
out to inform you that there is
more than one DW, orfe that is
really of the title Miss. Fine and
is of a teasing tan complexion,
while the othef is you know
who, and frankly not so hot cha.

PH and RH as we once said
you are fine people and you are
last weeks remarks proved _ it
for the truth did not wrinkle
your features. in the last.

Ha, ha, I surprised you this
week AS. I am told you were
all ears the other nite whtn a

icertain play boy was talking

trash which often ~turns out to
be benefit, frankly I am a little
jealous.

DH aH I can say for you at
this time is that- you are great
in every serfse of the word.

GG not that it is any -of my
business but I would like very
much to know just what you
were talking about the other
nite to LS and:just what is the
shick~s story, she could not be
sweet on hers2lf coul~ ske- If
30 I do not blame her, for she
is fine as wine.

The out of towners really took
over the other mite. I noticed
BD giving RH a hard look and
I think it was because of the
attention she was showing the
yut of town chap.::

EW better known as Kilroy,

veneer ee

just ietiecs jn the devil were
you Sunday night? -~And who
*wers you with, I hope She was
fine, at least that is what is rum,

es; ored. Frankly we missed. you

'from the scen2, but there were
| others to fill your shoes.

~The Creeper can well understand why a certain fellow raised havoc over th2 early, an-;nouncement of his coming mar-.

riage, it is because he has just

-of marriage doesn~t- think of
playing or do they?

GT one of Flint~s want to b?2
play-girls seems like you have
played out with TB, I don~t see
him giving up six days a week
of his: valuable time with you
anymore, he is ~known as - the
Unique play boy~ which suits
~him to a tee.

IV come out and let us talk
about you some more, your hid,
ing is not like you, could it be
that you have played out?

Belizve it or not SKW and
