THE KILT
OCTOBER 1, 1957
 
WE'RE THAT PROUD! THE KILT has had two very complimentary plugs from the Orlando papers, the ORLANDO SENTINEL - STAR. One in Julie Devine's Winter Park news, and the other in Henry Balch's HUSH PUPPIES. This friendly pat on the back from the big dailies makes the whole kilt staff want to work that much harder.

LAST WEEK WE CARRIED A NEWS ITEM ABOUT LILLIAN MOODY winning the WABR station break contest, and neglected to include the winning slogan. Here it is. "This is WABR where the news is specific and the music terrific." Clever. Looks like Lillian may be heading toward the life of a huckster. There's good money in writing advertising, Lil!

SAD AS WE ARE ABOUT LOSING DEWEY RAMSBY on the football team because of his bad knee, we do think there is something dashing about that pirate swagger the cast creates. Hope the knee really heals this time, Dewey, we want you well by basketball time.

WHICH SEVENTH GRADE FOOTBALL PLAYER is escorted to all classes by three pretty maidens? Is there safety in number, Ned, or are you merely trying to corner the market? All we hope is that you've got your mind on the ball not the babes on October 3.

MRS. BRIDGES CONFESSES THAT WHEN she heard she was to sponsor THE LION'S DEN she had no idea WHAT it was. She asked MRS. WEIDLEY, she suggest that it might be the little brick house out on the football field. Mrs. Bridges spent many many an hour wondering what she was supposed to do out there. Clean it. Act as hostess to the team? What? Was she delighted when she found out THE LION'S DEN is a literary magazine!

HAVE YOU SEEN MISS FOLSOM'S NEW CAR? Some of the coaches who transport themselves on bike are saying she's discovered uranium out on the athletic field.

Angry teacher: "Don,this theme on OUR DOG is exactly like your brother Jon's".

Jon W.: "It's the same dog."

ODD JOBS

   I think I have one of the oddest jobs in school. I collect wild animals for a biological supply company in El Paso, Texas. The animals I collect usually end up in private collections, zoos, or research laboratories.

   This is a profitable job but it is also a lot of work. There isn't too much equipment necessary if you have strong, fast hands. There is also the problem of keeping the animals alive before shipping them. Once I had over 950 tadpoles to feed the turtles I was collecting. Of course I had to feed the tadpoles, too.

   Snakes present the greatest feeding problems as they are very temperamental. Some will eat only warm blooded animals, some only cold blooded animals, some only earthworms. A snake can swallow almost any shape because of the elasticity of his jaws. Their jaws are not connected by a solid bone as ours are.

   In case you are wondering about how I transport these animals -- they are all shipped to Texas by plane.

   The above account is one of the oddest and most interesting jobs we've heard about in Glenridge. Do you have an interesting job or hobby? Write us an article telling about it.

AT THE MOVIES

   Here are some previews of new movies. These pictures have been recommended as good entertainment by the Methodist Magazine - TOGETHER.

SOMETHING OF VALUE: This film is gruesome but full of realism. It is the story of a bloody Mau Mau uprising in Africa. Rock Hudson, one of the stars, finally realizes that it is impossible to take away a people's customs without substituting "something of value".

THE LONELY MAN: Jack Palance stars with Tony Perkins in this new type western. It is the story of one man's search for the love and respect of his son.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK - JOHNNY TREMAIN: This is a historical picture of the early days of the American Revolution. It is a delightful and informative film for all the family.
