(he won’t tell)/ are really getting pretty friendly lately, or that’s that way I heard it.—We hear Catherine Irons is a sweet little apple polisher.— Bernice and Jane are still unde- sided about the Prom or the skating party, they seem to keep changing their minds, but we think that Bernice has definitely decided since Tuesday night.— Eileen Davis has been wearing a diamond, not bad.—Gloria Plan ton Seems to know something that she won’t tell.—• C.
