THE CREEPER ~

The neighbors on Blades St.
are still complaining about the
unpleasant affair the other nite
when the man put the lady out
without any ciothes on. We
wonder why, who, and what was
the cause of this outbu:*t.

BR it is rumored that a cash
settlement has been made in
the bus. driver affair and that
you are headed for California to
play awhile,

It is rumored that WG, tne
sax player of Eddie Wood's
Trio, is engaged to marry ES.

To MH, why don~t you wake
up and be somebody. You were
seen making a fool of yourself
in Saginaw the other nite.
The boys got a kick out of the
obscene names a certain celebrity called you.

RH you are nice, but you
shouldn't flash your limbs so
freely.

GG is hereby acclaimed playboy of the week afd it f rumored he added another chick to
his string, all-striving for first
place.

TR has a guilty conscience.
He is steady making excuses for
his behavior, We would like for
him to know that his secrets. are
being kept as long as he deserves it, but one slip and the
world will know it all.

RH went to Saginaw to the
dance the other nite and when
asked how she liked the music,
she said she did not hear it and
about the knot on her head, she
still didn~t know,

It seems like M. Mercury H.
and IV are stuck with one another, for how long, time alone
will tell.

EJ came out of her hiding
lest week and was seen with
LB. We wonder if she has any
idea of the girls that are on
her trail, and it is rumored
thev are making. headway.

Who has LJP become interested in over in the big city of
Detroit? Must~ be exciting~ be+
eaus? none of her friends have
heerd from her,.

VT you had better be careful
in making eyes at G or else FS

DB has made a very broad
statement concerning GG. She
states that he is going to get
his head cracked, and she also
knows who is holding first place
in his heart. Could it be DB
GG?

~will loose out for HP is -reany
getting -around since she ~has
started working there. Or ~is-rit
because she is from out...0f
town? re

We Hear that PH and BD aré

desate

| really through for good this

time. We certainly hate ~ that
pecause they made such a-fine
couple. ae

BR looked rather pecea me
without MM Saturday night, ~but
that~s a good deal.

LB was surrounded b~...ME
and RH at the Lounge Sunday
night. We hear that he ~is in
love with RH,

CW and HVZ had a kttle
creep to make Sunday nigh.
Wender where they went?

TR is very cautious of... bis
hamburger now, being that in

HC created much osedidenindant

putting on a floor~ show,. with
IV and MH seas his partners,
of course other girls had their

The other night at the-epening of the Bobby Sox. Grill--we
wonder if GR, EJ, GT, SS;-HS,
'M; QR; WT; HW; AB; LS. and
SS think that they are stiri

do I would like to inform ~them
that they are definitély in~ the.

Why~ is it VG thinks she is

we think MTW wins there, So
please be careful VG.
