Teen Talk AP Newsfeatures There has been a lot of talk about gourmet soda fountains. Stu- dents are no longer satisfied with “hot fudge,” “banana split,” “black - and - white soda” and a “double malt.” Pretty tame fare for the rugged. They order “atomic punch” (seven delicious flavors and three ice creams), “whirlpool whizzes” (five fruits crushed in a blender with soda and cream) and a number of other death-defying gastronomic delights. At Stillwater, Oklahoma, the ex- otic in soda fountain fare is com- monplace. It all began at the Okla- homa A and M Student Union foun- | © tain. Now the kids are likely to revolutionize the nation’s soda fountain fare, according to report- er Bill Harmon. Says he: Wild Combinations “Vie Shiever and Eve Richard- son, who manage the student soft drinks bar, can even keep their aplomb at such orders as bean soup milkshakes and peanut but- ter malteds. Only once have they refused a tustomer’s order. The unorthodox Aggies are a hardy crew, and apparently even exjoy the gastronomic nightmares. They eat them with a sigh of de- light and keep coming back for more, says Mrs. Richardson. There are no visible ill effects. The soda jerks think nothing of whipping up a lime sherbet milk- shake, or an egg cream. They throw together peanut butter and mustard and grilled tuna without batting an eye, and other combina- tions that the Earl of Sandwich never dreamed of when he first wrapped a couple of slices of bread around a chunk of meat. - The bean soup milkshakes and peanut butter malted seem to be catching on the most: In case any- body’s interested in the recipe, you use milk, vanilla ice cream and a scoop of «anned bean soup or pea- nut butter, as the case may be. Stir at your own risk. Taste? You Guess! “TI really eouldn’t say how they taste,” says Mrs. Richardson. “The smell of onions in the soup when it’s mixed with ice cream is too much for me. The kids who drink those things must be trying to prove something.” ~ The egg cream calls for a shot of cream, vanilla flavor and car- bonated water. No egg. And don’t ask where the name came from. What about the fellow wh» didn’t get what he ordered? He asked for macaroni soup. The customer, a foreign exchange eaten, really meant chicken noo- le. Revival Tried TAMPA —Police have report- ed indications burglars who broke into a Tampa laundry might have tried to revive the night watch- man, found dead of a heart attack.

The Marathon area hopes to have five froops, two Brownie troops, two isterme- diate troops and one senigr troop.

HOLLYWOOD NOTES By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD, May 27 w—“I went into the jungle with a bunch of tin medals and came out with gold.” That was Johnny Weissmuller’s reflection on his°23 years in the movie business. Now well fixed because of his earnings in Agfican movies, the onetime ming champ says he may refife in an- other two years. 7 “Pve had it,’ herSays. ‘In an- other two years, I’d like to give up the jungle life and retire. “Don’t worry about me finding something to keep me busy. I’m a guy who likes his leisure. I’d be perfectly content to spend my time skin-diving, playing golf and just relaxing.” There’s only one element that might upset his plans—TV. Right now a deal for a series is being whipped up. His agents and busi- ness managers are hot for it, but he doesn’t like to work that hard. That’s understandable. He prob- ably does less work for more money than any other performer in Hollywood. For the past eight years, he has been doing the Jungle Jim series, in which he shares the profits. He does three a year, for an estimated return of $100,000, Not bad, considering the films take a mere nine days apiece. Movie making takes only 27 days out of his year. What does he do the rest of the time? Occasionally he takes out a water show, as he did in Las Vegas last year. But most of the time he simply enjcys life. E I must say that it agrees with him. I saw. Johnny on the set of his latest Jungle Jim epic, “The Moon Men.” He was up to his thighs in moon men—all the midg- ets and dwarfs in this area had been recruited for film. He’ll be 47 next Wednesday, but he has the build and face of a much younger man. I asked him how he does it. “Swimming,” he replied with the obvious answer. “I keep my pool at home at 80 degrees the year around, Every day I swim about a half-mile. i do it with my feet in a rubber tube, so I’m pull- ing dead water. That way I get the exercise without having to make so many turns. The pool is only 20 by 40 feet, and I'd get dizzy if I swam without something to hold me back.” The daily workout keeps him at a trim 205-210 pounds, which is par for a man who is 6 feet 3. He was only 10 or 15 pounds lighter when -he was breaking all the swimming records in sight, CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to all our friends and neighbors who so kind- ly assisted us and extended their sympathy at the death of our dear- ly beloved wife and mother, Mrs. Allie J. Jordan. We especially wish to thank the Pritchard Funeral Home and all of those who sent cards, floral tributes and assisted us in any way. : \ TELEPHON One hundred and thirty seven members: of the graduating class | at Key West High School were in. vested at impressive ceremonies | held yesterday morning at the high | school auditorium. | The class, largest ever to gra- duate from the local- high school | marched into the auditorium to El. gar’s “Pomp and Circumstanee.” | The white robed graduates ear-| tied their caps as they entered the auditorium. Miss Joan Knowles opened the solemn service with a Bible read- ing. Dr. Harold C. Campbell, princi- pal of the high school, made the | , investiture address. Dr. Campbell told the graduat- ing seniors that they were now ready to accept the responsibility | p, of living in an adult world. He said if you have “learned to think before making decisions,” their high school experience has been worthwhile. He said that the primary purpose of education is to teach the student to evaluate a pro- blem and to make decisions in the light of this evaluation. Following Dr. Campbell’s ad- dress, the Key West High School Chorus, under the direction of Tho- mas Whitley, sang Mallotte’s ar- rangement of “The Lord’s Pray- er”; deKoven’s “The Recessional” and then “You'll Never Walk A- lone” from Carousel, and the Key West High School “Alma Mater.” The senior sponsors then pre- sented the graduates to Dr. Camp- bell, at which time they were cap-, Junior class president, Millicent Taylor, was presented with the “Conch” flag by the president of the graduating class, Glynn Arch- er. After the flag presentation, long a tradition at the high school, the Junior and Senior classes joined in singing “‘Auld Lang Syne.” The newly invested graduates marched from the auditorium to the recessional from ‘“‘Aida” by Verdi. Miss Millicent Taylor was the accompanist for the entire pro- gram, witnessed by the student bo- dy of the high school and parents of the graduates. It was an inspiring beginning to the week of commencement acti- vities and there were-a tom sears shed as the graduates realized that they had reached the close of their high school careers. Ed Koehn Will Head Lower Keys Association Ed Kohen was installed as presi- dent of the Lower Keys Property Owners Association at the regular monthly meeting of the association on May 27.
