Fads and Fashions

  That calm collection that "Ungie" has been flashing is the most. What's more, my katty pals, died you dig that “Kentucky Cornel “ that Dukie Mandel is Wearing? Man, it's the coolest. And come close for this fractured piece of news. Opps! My pencil broke, so I'll have to quit for now. Man, this is really the end and I don't mean perhaps.

Hookey

  Have you ever considered playing hockey? I think almost every student in Wiridber High School has thought about it at some time or other. There seem to be so many things you can do when you aren't in school. You could go to Johnstown, to the movies, play ball, in the spring you could even go swimming. Too many students have the idea of playing hockey is very desirable but before you make that final decision consider the consequences.
  In some cases you may be considered a delinquent. The authorities may pick you up. You are violating the trust your parents and your teachers have placed in you. The school officials begin to mistrust
you, and from then on they will watch you very closely.
  There are also the consequences of your punishment. Sometimes the students are given I detention, or time to make up before or after school hours. Sometimes you must sit on the stage all day. In this way your friends lose their approval of you. They will sneer and laugh at you. Then, wurse for your ego, is the spanking, administered by Mr. Cassler. This turns your fun into hate, hate for the school officials, the school itself, the person responsible for your being caught, and for those who laugh at you. Is it worth it?
  "A student who has often considered playing hookey, but has never done so."

THINGS TO LOOK FOR

"Uncle S y"

  Hi, Kats, here I am again to stone you with some more frantic love tales. Aunt Liz's liver is getting real nervous and wants to put this crazy column back to its "normal" self. Man, the kats will flip repletely if she goes and goofs this column. Put your opinions in the cracker, opps! I mean Hi Times Box. Say whether you want "Liz the Cute" (3-D square) to have the column as it was (a dead-beat) or have it all jazzed up as per-usual.
Well, let's plan; some of these cool cases.
  Case No. 1
Hi Uncle Sy,
I was out last night with some square babe. I'm real 'opped up over her and would like to know how to get her off the stick and in the groove with the other kats. If you dig me, please answer.

Desperately,
The Ding-Dong Daddy
from Windber Hi.

Dear Daddy-o,
I dig you, kid. In fact I'm planted real solid. To make this chick slick, just let her dig a few sessions with your katty friends. In no time at all this "Hollywood Eyes" will be one of the coolest kats around.
Uncle "Sy."
  Case No. 2
Dear Uncle "Sy"
Waffle bashing ears with a fellow Kat the other day, I pinned some peasant as he ankled into the froth parlor and be headed in our direction. If you would have seen him, you would have split a spleen. After pressing the flesh with us, he asked us where he could spend a cool evening.
My problem is, "Would it be alrightee to bring him to the jive tonight to stomp out a beat to some torrid tune?"
If you dig my "Limped Latin," please answer.
Truly
A Sad Sack

Dear "Sack"
Man, this Kat must be positively no-where. I think it would be the most if he would join you and keep time with his wicked earth pads. I don't think you'll have any trouble with this "Mr. Z." (Translated, means the end or the most.) if he is as stoned as you say he is.
Sy
  Case No. 3
Dear Uncle Sy,
While flat-footing it downs the high-way the other day, I saw some cool, crazy threads hanging in the greenhouse with a pair of fruit boots to match. My problem is how to get the "greet as" so I can latch on to these cool threads.
How about slippin' me some info.
"Swivel hips Sus"   
P. S. Do they have them in canary yellow?
Man, now that you have pinned the latest problems and are hep, remember to put your "tales of woe" in the "Box." In the next issue will be the latest and outest collection of tear-jerkers so get prepared to get stoned.   
So long, all you kats and cubes.

History Mix Up

  The whole mess started when Marco Polo discovered America in the year 2492. He sailed here from Russia in a little sailboat named the "Merrimac."
  Marco Polo and his crew landed on the shore of Kansas. The stone he first stepped was named "Cadillac Pebble," by Christopher Columbus, who was a member of Marco Polo's crew. Marco Polo then sailed back to Russia and was a brief period of about 750 years before his trip was made back to America.
  It was them about 3242 when a great big sailboat named the "Mayflower" landed near Cadillac Pebble which is but a short distance from Plymouth Rock. On board the "Mayflower" were many poor peasants. Among these General MacArthur, Lara Turner, Julius LaRosa, Frank Sinatra, Rita Hayworth, Admiral Byrd, General Eisenhower and John Paul Jones. These poor people settled and established Johnstown.
  Life in Johnstown was very difficult for all these poor settlers because of the lack of fine tuxedos, evening gowns and delicate caviar. Although their kind of life was very hard, the settlers still found "Cupid" was awfully good at shooting his arrows and he always did hit the bull's-eye.
  The greatest romance caused by dear little Cupid in the 33rd century came when tall, thin Frank Sinatra proposed to beautiful, shapely Ava Gardner for his dear friend John Paul Jones.
  "Speak for yourself, Frank," has passed down through history and is remembered by most lovers of today.
  Cupid seemed to give most settlers great strength and, gosh, they really needed it against all those deeply tanned native born American Indians. The settlers had to be very careful when they walk through the woods because there were always one or two Indians waiting to get a lock of their hair. The married settlers managed to keep their children out of the woods by telling them the story of the missing toupee

"Record Rack"

  Well, Kids, here we are again with the latest record review. There are lots of popular new songs, and to start off here are a few.

  A brand new one by Perry Como is "Wanted." This song is expected to go high in the recording field. Mr. Rhythm, Frankie Laine, has a beautiful ballad, "I'd Give My Life." On the other side is his recent hit "Granada." Also, "The Kid's Last Fight." Joni James whose "My Love, My Love" had quite a few new ones of which her best and latest one is "Maybe Next Time." The other two, "You're Nearer" and "You're My Everything."
  Sunny Gale's wax of "Close to Me" is quickly climbing the ladder to the top. Roy Hamilton a new voice in the recording field, had two good songs, "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Cry Over You."
  Frank Sinatra has a beautiful song, "Young At Heart" and Julius LaRosa sings "I Couldn't Believe' My Eyes."
  For Duke Mandel and Marcia Weaver we'll play "Till We Two Are One."
  For some of the faster and jumpy platters, a new one by the Aces and Jill Corey is "Cleo and Meo." Also "My Wild Irish Rose" and "Darktown Strutters Ball." For Connie and Cookie we dedicate "They'll Be No Teardrops Tonight" by Tony Bennett. Another song is "Melancholie Me" by Eddie Howard.
  For Irene Kingure and Chicken we play "Cuddle Me" by Ronnie Gaylord. Les Paul and Mary Ford have a brand new one "I Really Don't Want To Know." This song is very popular around town. Patti Page sings "Johnny Guatier" and the No. 1 his "Cross Over the Bridge." "Man With the Banjo," a new song is played by the Ames Brothers.
  "I Get So Lonely" and "The Way I Feel Tonight" by Four Knights are also very popular. "Gee' by "The Crows" is a very cute jumpy tune.
  Bobby Wayne has a new one, "What Good Is Somebody New?". "Midnight" by Bobby Hackett’s trumpet is very popular, as is "Whistle Stop" by Billy May. "Such A Night" by Johnny Ray is a cute number which we dedicate for George Zindash and Phyllis Horvath.
  Well, kids, that will be all for this month. We'll be back again next month with another selection of top hits.

Hooky

By Nettie Cunsolo
One day as I was sitting in a schoolroom,
I wished and wished that I could be,
Way down by the river in the forest
With a can of worms by my knee.
I decided to sneak out the window,
But the teacher would catch me, I know;
So I thought of a great idea,
And pretended I hurt my toe.
She thought I hurt it badly
And sent me home to bed,
But instead of going that way,
I took the road ahead.
Yes, I just went a-fishin'
With my good of rod and reel.
But I didn't know she was watchin'
Behind a banana peel.
She took me to the principal,
And told him I disobeyed the rule.
He took his paddle out and said,
"I'll make you wish that you were dead."
That's the end of my story
As plain as you can see.
Just don't go playin' hookey,
Cause you'll get caught like me.

Goofy Gus Says

  1. Don't bother doing your homework. You can always copy it from some eager beaver.
  2. Don't bother putting those coke bottles in the rack. Just throw them all over the auditorium.
  3. If you happen to see a coat lying on the floor, don't pick it up; just kick it to the other end of the hall.
  4. Don't bring the library books back on the day they're dine or in one piece.
  5. Please mark your desks up, so we'll be sure to know exactly where you sat.
