"Do you have any particular reason for starting with her?"

"Oh, yes, sorry! I have been in Des Plaines' "Footlighters," a youth theater group, and have appeared in the p 1 a y Meet Me In St. Louis, and in the musicals Our Miss Brooks and Ask Any Girl. I enjoy music, drama, and sketching very much. I was secretary of French Club and a member of Stagecrafters and the memory record staff. And I will be in Quill and Scroll and .
"Thank you. I suppose you have some pet peeves?"
"No. I used to but they all died."
"Very interesting. Any future plans?''

"What! Are you trying to be funny, kid?"
"No, sir. By the way, why did you stop me, officer? Was I too swift?"
"Of course not; I just happen to have some tickets for the Policeman's Ball and - -
"No, thanks .1 have enough problems!"
