ment school. Jimmie Gregg would love
II. The catalogue doesn't say the three
adde's are brcklaycrs. because the cata-
losue doesn't have to. \ glance at the
three nude ladies is enough TO show

Joe probably got the idea for this ultra
futur!st effect on the night that the tall
negro celebrart dressed as Uncle sam.
