Teen Age
Chatter
By GEORGIA RUSSELL

Well, gals and guys, here 1 am
again with the latest happenings
and gossip.
What well-known st. Paul boy
known as the Duke" has been
counting a girl by the name of
Jimmie" in Minneapolis? (Tsk,
tsk.)
Milton Combs still has the girls
in a swoon over 81 Dream of You"
His new name should be the
"Voice."
Cpl. Edgar Pillow was given a
"going away" party by his sister,
Phyllis Payne, Thursday, April IL.
The party was really unique. Dane
ing and bridge were the entertain
ment of the evening. The Misses
present were Leatrice Dodd, Caro-
Ign Combs, Lois Brown, Eloise Vas
sar, Constance Jackson, Heloise
Tabor, etc. The men were Harold
Ripper, La Rohn Latimore, Quen-
tine Stone, Wayne Wilson, Milton
Combs, Percy Zachary and others.
Received a letter from Donald
Titus who is now in the Navy.
Wants me to say hello for him to
all his friends.
V. D. just can't seem to make up
her mind whom she wants. First
it was L. P. and then, ~? Now
it's D. C. again.
Everyone seems to be talking
about the Girl Reserves Spring for
NAL party. Say, girls, if you haven't
got an escort yet, you'd better
hurry; seems as though almost all
the males are taken. $50 1 found
out.)
81 Amt Got Nothing But the
Blues" seems to be the most popu-
lar song of the week, but, frankly,
I think Eddie Hayward's Begin
the Beguine" has it beat.
Jimmy Taylor has left for Indi-
ana, to visit his aunt, but don't get
too blue, girls, he will be back
sometime next week.
Seems as though P. P. was hav-
ing a time of her life Saturday
night with interchangeable TT?
Leola Graham seems to be hav-
ing B. B. going around in circles.
The couples of the week are none
other than Donald Gates and Janet
Armstrong and Evelyn Lewis and
Harold Carruthers.
The Sunday afternoon pow-wow
was changed to a house party be-
cause of the change in the weather.
The party was given at the home
of Mrs. C. Ferguson, PIT Kent.
Some of those present were Juanita
Calendar, Joyce King, lone Russell,
Shirley Martin, Janet Armstrong,
Sarah Johnson, Phyllis Mays, Billy
Mccoy, Gene Goss, Leonard Pow
ers, Clyde Turrentine, Clentill Jack
son, Don Gates, Willis Reed, Paul
Ray, Carl McDaniels. The party
was really fine.
The Sub Debs at the Halle Q.
Brown has reopened under the su-
pervision of Miss Tranyham. Betty
Lou Howard was elected president.
Well, that's all for this week. So
long.

The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food
