a tribute to the astuteness Of the I'M

half dozen, the only one present for
the Kay Kyser celebration Of We'd

perfect right to be there by reason of
the fact that Rocky Mount is his

candidates do not take advantage Of
the chance to mix and mingle with
such a crowd as packed into the

the red-headed band leader.
