St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1945-04-27

punch for the
girls and for US DON GATES
he men-milk. Are you surprised?
If you are, what do you think about
US? We were rigging and jogging
groovy and right, jumping and jiv-
ing, half of the night. dig that
1--WE just one time.)
Among the fine chicks gathered
there were Joyce Clayton, Margaret
Stewart, Yvonne Curry, Phyllis
Nevis, Jaquelyn Early and Johnnie
Clayton, all very lovely. Some Of
the harder cats were Oscar Brown
(square), Charles Cooley (hep),
Earl Bowman (semi-square), David
Allen (broad beamed), Connie Aus
tin thrill filler), Carol Peery
(groovyite), and Clentell Jackson
(solid sender). A cat melvin
Beasley) told me that he was hard
mad character from way back. He
says, "I am the girls pet and the
boys regret" 1 am sure that he
and L. L. are the only hacker
uppers. "Things amt what they
used to be" is a favorite that most
solidteers crave. It reminds them
of the 1890 curfew or should I say
reminds US. You know very well
that "Things just amt what they
used to be-"
You know this chick Georgia
Russell (rivaD the teen-age writer?
If she and 1 stayed friends I'd have
to be fighter. Yes, Georgia, you
solid chick, to one boy you should
stick-but last Sunday 100000
weeeee. Tell me, Georgia, what did
see? No kidding, Georgia, you
are somewhere from the tip of your
toe to the one strand of your hair.
Pay me no mind, cats, I wasn't
there!
Donald Calendar really be-
lieves in the cape Drape Shape"
because he is usually dropped out in
some drape shape and a cuff with
a ruff and a pleat that is rect and
no doubt some sharp coat that is
really neat. No doubt all you
dreamers were at the splendoring
dance Saturday night at Halle @.
Brown and if you were not you
should have been around. Neatly
and realty, cats were really knav-
ing and paving their way to be the
opposite of a neat dead beat. The
dancers were a killer, the singers
were thriller, the piano player was
most mad and the joke crackers
were just plain bad. The sharpest
chick and cat I lamped was we'll
dressed Clarence Mckinney and the
finely dressed Katherine Robinson,
both of whom were looking very
sharp.
My beautiful baby sister got mar
ried Sunday and it was what we
call a solid affair. Mr.. Gates
(pappy) was really hard in his full
dress tails and was looking very
extraordinary-that is if you have
never seen a penguin in tails. All
the cats call him "Uncle Porky."
Look at that stomach weave. De-
lores Beasley and Jane Banks were
really looking lovely in their brides
maid gowns. Roland Grissam and
Duke Don were strutting down the
aisle in our penguin tails as ushers.
Most of you Jacks and Jills know
Billy Mccoy. Well, as no doubt
you guessed he was the first to kiss
the bride. Like I said you know
Billy!
The weather we were getting last
week, first little rain and then a
little sleet, we'll things have changed
to a weather that is neat. I not
only write this column for cats that
are neat but also hints for the sane
sad dead beat. Because if you're
not neat rect and make plenty of
heat you are one of those sad dead
beats.
hope some of you past-twentys
read my 1--WE talk, too, because I'm
sure there are some things that
older folks need to do. Most of you
are groovy and right jumping and
jiving each and every night. Hop
