LICENSE REGISTRATION DUE
Once again the good old state of Pennsylvania has decided to pass

The originator of the idea of the extra special affair was Buddy Robinson. (nice

Master of Ceremonies. Incidently, Bob Scott was Walter's right-hand man.
Refreshments, including pitz, were served. J ackie Cohn was auctioned off for
the high sum of 590. Bob Henney was the brave highest bidder. Ellen Iffert walk

ceiling (so she thought), and Margie Brehm was the victim of a number of jokes.
In general, everyone had a good time s and they arc still talking about it-----
even about the quartet who nave us a few selections in different keys, By the
way, T.G.L.F, meant uThank God it's Frid9r. See you at our next dance, next
