There are famed almanacs and
learned weather prognosticators,
but for our money, there are sew
eral sure signs that fall is on the
way-the robins have been flock
ing like mad for the past few
weeks and the dogw'ood leaves are
turning red. Then, haven't you
noticed, the boys have put away
their baseball bats and now are
practising football. Let's face it
kiddies, it's on the way and the
school bells. soon will be ringing.
If it didn't sound so prosaic, We
would write Local Boy Makes
Good" when we speak of Sam
Riggs, for that is just exactly what
he has done. (Of course, he has
been making good for some time,
really.) Recently we told you that
re was appearing with the Nep-
tune Music Theatre in Asbury
Park, N. j., this summer. He has
had several good parts, but the
real break came for him the other
day when he was chosen to play
the lead in High Button Shoes"
The original lead fell ill suddenly
and Sam was chosen for the role.
This is quite a distinction for one
relatively so new in the theatrical
world. We are proud of you, Sam.
This is probably the first of many
fine 'leads" to come. Sam is the
son of Bill Riggs of Rockville and
Mrs. James Wilson of Locust Hills.
DR.. and Mrs. Wilson plan to go
to Asbury Park this weekend to
see the show.
