Pommalitzot, your beauty hope and bluster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressible hair bring you our Miss Brooke starring E. Barden. For many teachers June 17th marked the last day of the regular school term. Well this also applied to our Miss Brooke's who teaches English at Madison High School. Unlike many other teachers however I had volunteered for summer school duty. The reason? Oh you can

put it down to any one of a number of things. Caprice, the spirit of cooperation, hunger. Anyway, I did look forward to a week's vacation before summer school started. So last Friday morning I sat down at the table in Mrs. Davis's dinette and started to count the money I had saved during the past semester. Let's see now. Five, ten, twelve, sixteen, twenty-six.

Oh, here's a fifty. That's about it. Well, how much money have you got for your vacation, Connie? Seventy-six cents, Mrs. Davis. Really? Where are you going? Oh, I haven't decided. They say Monte Carlo is lovely this time of year.

I wish I could let you have some assistance, Connie, but I'm very short myself. Oh, I know. I can let you have the rent money I charged you for the last two weeks. Would you really, Mrs. Davis?

Of course I would, Connie. Then I'm sorry, I didn't pay it to you. Maybe there's some way you can earn some extra money in your spare time, Connie. I remember my brother Victor used to earn quite a bit of vacation money when he was only a boy.

How, Mrs. Davis? Shoveling snow. No. Shoveling snow in June? No, in Juneau. He spent... He spent most of his vacations in Alaska. Oh. Or you might get some ideas out of these magazines here. They're just full of ads telling about spare time jobs.
