THE CREEPER

Imagine someone getting too
busy to remember me, the almighty Creeper.!~m back again
creeping |a3 usual.

My! Some people don~t care

about the public when it comes
to making love, do you O.W.
Land J. R.?
' Why did I. P. keep arguing
with A.B. and hanging on to
C.N.>? Please try to conduct
youilself a lit:le better, L:P.

T.F. and H.W. had much
to talk about between dances
at the Gardens. You do make
a nice couple.

The blue dress that V. W.
wears with the wide belt seems
to draw quite a bit of attention
from the males. What's to it
V.W.?

The Creeper noticed that J.
H. and P.R. seemed very contented while dancing to a sentimental song. (ho hum).

R.S. please quit trying to
jive all the bobby soxers. (You
know why)

_T.B. we've heard several
gizls remark about your tone of

voice. Evidently, it ~~swoons~~
them. |
~ Gee! H.W. we: like your

technique while dancing. it's
wonderful!

We see that each week H.C.
manages to get a new dancing
partner More power to him.

A.S. you've certainly been
missed over theweek-end. You
are what makes the warld go
~round.

B.D. so you're still a p'ayboy, heh? Why not try settling
|down to one? We're speaking
~about B.D. of Everett St. and
B.D. of the ~ outh-end.

From all indications B. M.
enjoyed himself with O.R. Saturday nite, but B.M. don't you
think she~s ~~too~~ young? (oh,
well)..

T.H. and R.W. appear to
be in love, but R.W. why don~t
you use your head and wake
up to thé fact. (You'll have to
figure that ~ ~fact~~ out for your
self.)

G.I. seems to be very ser
The Homemakers Club No. | jous about P.M., and they ~cer
and G.T. were seen
a gris heads together at
the Royal Gardens? What's
to it?

C.R. and F.F. have been
seen time and time again whispering to the young bobby
'soxers. Take it easy fellows.
allow us kids a break.

What has happened -to L.S.
and S.S.>? We don't see either
of you anymore, |

The chick from Cleveland,
Ohio thought she was playing
hard with W.R. at the Golden
Leaf Sunday nite. F.S. has got
her number. we think.

F.B.S. and B.B. got to the
dance very late Saturday n~te
and were very happy. Wonder
what happened?

S.W. and V.T. are claimed
as lovers of the week. It seems
as if it is getting deeper and
deeper with no bottom in sight.

M.C. why don~t you get
wise? You're not half as fine
as you think you are..

What happened to E.J. She
has faded out of the picture
altogether. Rmuors are that
she and L.B. ace having difficulties.

G.G. is really coming = on.
We know definitely that he
hlas five irons in the fire. What

Leading the Nitespots again
this week with the Royal Gardens in the lead, The Sadie
Hawkins dance Saturday nite
was an overwhelming success,
with 300 or more dancers enjoyirg themselves to the music
of Clifford Dent and his band.
This week we find the Gardens
promoting a Jack & Jill Party
with prizes being awarded to
the ideal couple of the evening,
and guest of honor for the af{air will be. the Debutarttes, one
of Flint~s outstanding young ladies clubs, who are doing much
to bring out the culture side of
our community life.

And again WE find the Flora
Lee Longe sharing equal -honors as leaders for our nite life
with the band of Eddie Woods
playing hard and. satisfying the
hundreds of dance lovers out for
the evening of enjoymeni. Keer
interest is being shown in regards to the coming Mardi Gras
to be held at the Lounge on
February 8. For those who don't
know what a Mardi Gras is, it
is a masquerade affair in which
you dress up to represent some
person or mimic you've seen
before, such as a gypsy, Pirate,
Count, or ary number of things.

| Also at this affair a girl, will
be selected for Miss February. to face the public? No you are

Her picture will be taken and

are you trying to do fellow,
set a record?

T.B. the women~s pet and
the men~s fret created a lot ~
excitement over the week-end;
by being seen here and there
and there and alone too.

M.I.A. it seemis like you and
the boyfriend were having difficulties Saturday nite at the
Royal Gardens.

To the couple we saw on
Cliffofd St: Saturday nite at
2:30 a.m. why not wait until
you get home to do_ your
fighting and arguing? It is
more convenient.

To a_ certain professional
man who pleaded for us not to
expose him we will let him off
light this time but the next
time we see him suffer.

5 celebrated their 8th anniver- | tainly make ~a lovely couple.

Lord, aren~t human beings a
sight.
