Paul Jordan


Hello folks the busy season is

chased a ticket under an assumed
name good luck King Midas!

the Dunbar Serenaders a radio quin-
tette the Altruists and the
W.B.D.'s closed the program but as
each sketch was seriously impaired
by dead mike no one in the audience
knew what was being enacted on the
stage it was indeed a most I'M
fortunate occurrence as it threw both
clubs out of the running dancing
was enjoyed in the school gymnasium
following the show but yours truly
was rendered hors de combat by being
assigned a choice press seat with the
bottom missing and sat through two
hours of Spartan fortitude balancing
on the outer edges of oblivion -.
