interview. I am sure you will en-
joy his answers.

Personalities
BY Nell DOdson

The Twentieth Century boys
put over a WOW of dance out at
Hap's night club. Can't we have
another dance out there real soon,
boys?
There are two very distinctive
laughs around the Cities. One is
possessed by Tommy Coleman and
the other by Bill Carroll. Tommy's
laugh is a cross between a war
whoop and a Dracula snarl, while
Bills is just a plain: "Haw! Haw!
Haw!" Out at the T. c. dance I
heard someone laughing in a rath-
er weird manner but I couldn't
quite tell whether it was Carroll
or Coleman. Looked over on the
sidelines and there was Bill just
haw-hawing away at something or
other. Tom was standing nearby
but his face was perfectly straight.
Another laugh of distinctive quail
ity is that of Jimmy divers while
Ed Salter's tickled haw-haw is
beauty, too. But the prize goes to
that giggle of Anne Seymour's
which is guaranteed to drive any
body nuts inside of twenty-four
hours.
Although Auntie's memory is
slightly blurred as to some events
of the evening, it seems that I re-
call Ruth Barksdale telling me
that her brother is due up here
soon for a visit. Hmmm. Her
brother, Pete Cromer, is quite a
young man, quite young man.
HMM. A leg injury kept him
from becoming a biggy-wig track
man, but even with the leg injury
he was head man of the Univer-
sity Of Illinois track team, so I
heard when I was down there.
And what well-known fraternity
man got up at a moonlight picnic
few nights back, clasped a glass
of giggle-soup in one hand and re-
cited Lincoln's Gettysburg address
straight through without single
mistake? One of the summer
school gentlemen followed up that
stirring piece of oratory by an at
tempted crack at "The Charge of
the Light Brigade" but somehow
the Light Brigade got all tangled
up with the poem, "Ghunga DIM"
and the result was the most gosh
awful mixture of poetry I've ever
heard. He started out with: con,
on, into the Valley of Death rode
the Four Hundred!" and ended up
with: you're a better man than
am, Ghunga DIM" Tsk, tsk.
Among the happenings at the
T. G. dance at Hap's: Evelyn Sue
Scott got locked in the check room.
An accident when someone
slammed the door too tight. q.
Somebody took all of the giggle-
soup on our table while everybody
in the party was dancing the first
dance. The bar ran out of
beer. :. The mattresses said that
they were treated with more re-
spect by the colored patrons than
they've ever been treated by the
white patrons who come out there.
Annette Hatton's white suit
looked sharp as the dickens. :.
Jake and Georgiana Collins didn't
have that sappy newly-wedded
look about them, thank goodness.

son danced like Astaire and Rog-
ers. ;. Corney Mobiley's sun tan
is turning to dark brownskin. :.

was Ollie Grantham? One of

desperate Moro lepers fled before the

men in bloody dash from the Culion

The armed lepers, under the lead

a boat and fled the colony for Pala-
wan and neighboring islands, where
their ruthlessness spread terror a.
mong the inhabitants.
Stopping on Aboba island, the

and robbed Chinese stores. Then they
proceeded to Bonon Bono, where they
attacked another Chinese merchant
but citizens of the town gathered in
force and drove them away. They seiz-
ed another boat and escaped to sea.
A call for help brought the soldiers
to Bono Bono few hours later The
lepers were quoted as saying they
were sailing to Borneo island.
Citizens told the soldiers they fear
ed to seize the lepers because they
were afraid of infection from the dis
ease.
