X GIRLS i ON THE 1 STREETS.....1; 0 fc* llcx:x=^x=x:)oooooc It has been said and it is Oh. so true—‘‘If you Want to- Stay Healthy—Win Friends and Influ ence People, don’t write a Gossip Column.” But since Gossip is a thing that 'has been every since there tv?.s something to Gossip about-...It Must Go On!!! And there is a way to gossip so that you write so lit tie but know much more; So let’s read this weekly Gossip. IGNORANCE IS BLISS Usually if a small item ap pears in a jive column, that the other persons do not like, he should not take it upon himself to answ' i it in a social news column. It is only fiting to hand what they have to say to another jive colum nist and the other columnist will be more than glad to publish it Furthermore, since marriage is such a serious sacred affair, mar riage announcements should bo more formally announced. An announcement should not go under the heading CORRECTIONS but should go under ANNOUNCE MENT. As a close rule--We Girls On The Streets are strictly careful a bout what we write and you can bet that what we write is not the least bit agitated. It also cheap ens a person’ character to go to the trouble of saying nobody else means anything to them. Be cause in a short run.... One never knows-But FASHIONS ALONG THE STROLL Its too warm on the streets for a topcoat and too cold to be with out one. So the smarter Cats has thought of a brilliant idea! !!!-. FLASH!!! They are wearing Fing ertipps.... The fine jackets for boys. Have you by any chance seen the smart jacket Phercy Byrd is wearing.... Straight from Chi cago, we believe that he said, he was one of the first in Omaha to break out in that Hollywood fing ertip and to speak nothing of the brown and tan reversible one Phercy Roundtree is wearing. Mae Franklin who practically stays on the fashion parade, has a light tan fingertip. Simon Hughes, an other one of our finer dressed cats is modelling and has been for sometime-.a Green Corduroy Re versible jacket. Billie Riggs looks very fine in his fur coat and then comes Richard Gaskin, modelling his. That little jitterbug guy. . . Bob Floyd, has a green corduroy. . Kenneth Starks also has a green one..among the other fine Sur Coats, they are worn by Sol Hard iman, Wendell Chambers. Law rence Smith, Theotis Woods, El wood Hicks, Glen Anders, David Hugjfhes. So this conclu|des our fingertipps for this week. j SHALL WE REVIEW THE ! DANCE OF MONDAY NIGHT All the hep Cats and Chicks fell out all drapped and lookin’ fine, rare, solid and other adjectives that could possibly describe them. First on the scene, let’s glance the Avenue before the dance begins. Drug stores are filled with drags, who are awaiting the dance to come on. Some of the Cats feel that they cannot enjoy themselves without having a you know. half pint of “Old Grand-dad” sc they promenade in and out of the saloons, trying to make ends meet. Now as we auntro up to th 2 main entrance of the Dreamland hall, we spot a number of Rocks, wondering as usual, where they can borrow 55c. Meanwhile those who have the do-re-me, give less for everybody and file up the stairs to begin the jam session. The band is fine of course, and everyone seems to be enjoy’ ng themselves immensely. Louisi Jones and William Winn were to gether of course- Clai'a Ander son looked very fine and was jumpin’ of course- What’s this ? looks like Bob Floyd has attract ed a crowd already-.. .swinging, his partner left to right and round about. Roberta- - you know Long mire spent half the evening with Robbie W. So naturally A- D. M that fine personality was here, land there with varioujK Chicks. Joyce Rlair styled an unsweep and Elwood H- swept her off her feet. Gene Harrison was there, although he complained a couple of times a bout his dogs barking... .Connie was bugging with all her might Wazren Agee seemed to be hav ing a gay time with different Chicks. John Hamilton, so full of energy, was bugin’ it on out. Most cf the people just listened to the orchestra. The Watson Rros- lis tened patiently, withput sprain ing an ankle. Rrycie Dorris was looking very fine also. Jackie nm«t have spent a wonderful even ing....no he didn’t indulge in drinks, it was a fee-male. Pork ie was beefin’ his line to several Chicks. We are knowing you are an old man. Theresa and Thelma H- were present, and you can bet they wtere enjoying fthemselves. Joy J. and fiancee were there. This is just a third of the Rocks who were there-..-never the-less everything was rare, fine and foxy. IT CAN BE DONE It didn’t take Herman V. long to get sharp after all. The other night he was drapped--had plenty of do-re-me and plenty of women My, my, my! Well Cats, this is all this week. Your Weak to Week, Girls On The Streets. The All Seeing EYES.” Well here I am again with a lit tle spiel for you people:—We hope you will find something of inter est. GEORGE MOORE: ; We wfish to encourage George Moore who is a young football star at Central. We have watched him play. He will be very good if the Coach will give him a chance. Suc cess to you George Moore- We are all for you. BEST LOOKING BOY OF WEEK: Mr. David Acres from Los Ang eles. BEST DRESSED GIRL OF WEEK: Shawn Edmondson.

FRIENDLIEST GIRL OF WEEK: Mattie Station. CUTEST GIRL OF WEEK: Naomi Downs. PAULINE EDWARDS: Miss Edwards was talking about what kind of cigarettes she likes. I am surprised because I didn’t know that Pauline, of all people, knew anything about cfi^aretes. Miss Edwards pretends to be so high and mighty, and she is most unfriendly. I would think sbe would refrain from smoking, tch, tch, my, my. JEWEL EVA MILLER: We are surprised to hear Miss Miller discusing cigarettes. She must kniw something about .them or she wouldn’t be saying whet kind she likes. Z1EGFELD GIRLS: New York and Hollywood uo not have all of the Ziegfeld Gir’s. Omaha also has some. They are Estelle McCraty, Lydia McCratv Shawn Edmondson, Delores W-'i iams, Mary Yancey, Gloria Jeai Claxton. REALLY VERY BOLD: We are surprised at J. B- wak ing up to R- T. and telling her that she wasn’t jealous of D- H- be cause she fcad him. R. T. has been going with D, H, a long time. Miss J. B. had better get a boy friend of her own instead of try ing to separate D. H. and R. T, CELEBRATE: Miss B. D- and Mr. J. W. have been going together six months, We hope they continue on th'nr romantic career. DANCE: We are knowing you Cats had a fine time at the dance. There didn’t seem to be much fighting going on. You tough Cats have to bring this fighting business to a climax. We hope you act bet ter in the future. RECOVERED: ; We are glad to see Miss Rozella McGill feeling better after a brief illness. CLUBS: All members please be present at the Sub-Deb Club meeting which will be at the home of Miss Venita Hall Saturday at 3:00. CYCLOPS: All of you Cats think you know who the Cyclops is, but you don’t The Cyclops is not a member of the Sub-Deb Club, the Cyclops does not go to Central High. the girl who used to write this col umn doesn’t write it anymore... because I have taken over and no one knows who I am. See you Cats next week...Take it Slow because it really isn’t hard ....it is just S-l-n-w and easy. The CYCLOPS and ASSTS. WAITERS’ COLUMN (BY H. W. SMITH) I We talked with quite a number of the UP. dining car waiters and they were all glad to have a friend ly chat about the Waiters’ Column I in the Omaha Guide. Mr. James McAllister, Mr Linwood Hall, Mr Smith, Mr- Luther Johnson and Mr. Metoyer. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Johnnie Baker of Portland, Oregon and he yet has the appearance of a young ' man with the foreign look in h’s fApe. Alright Johnnie keep the good work up. Continue to pitch while we are battling with the zero weather in Omaha. FONTENELLE HOTEL The Fontenelle Hotel was on the map this week with the AkSarB' n King and Queen’s Supper Dancf\ and wte know the boys went over j the top with the white uniforms I and pleasant smiles and very fine way of giving good service.

We shall be very careful in tele I phoning the Chamber of Commerce dining room in the future as the musician head waiter will say start the conversation when he picks up the receiver and Mr. Chester, golf player Hodges, and the ex-service man Capt. Bums always give me the laugh. The Waldorf chef Mr. John Marshall joins in with them by telling me. if you dont start no stuff .there will be no stuff.

Surely as much favor and flavor. But to Harlem and the world at large ihe Savoy Ballroom was an institution of dancing, the playground of a nation Charlie Buchanan used to always say.
