Mike Sorensen, 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Sorensen, poses here wearing his
new cowboy boots and gun belt and is showing the photographer how his six-shooter
works. Like almost every other small boy who lives in the west, Mike loves to play cow
boy and was mighty pleased with his presents. His father is a printer for the Mail-Tribune
and the family home is at 1300 Winchester avenue. Mike attends Washington school.

When radio was in its beginnings, young people built and used crystal sets. The present generation
uses a midget transistor set, such as Michael Miller demonstrates here. One wire is hooked to a
metal lamp or radiator, the ear-piece inserted in one ear and the set adjusted presto, music or news
from one of the three local stations. Michael, a son of Dr. and Mrs. William Miller, 1307 Queen Anna
avenue, is in the seventh grade at Hedrick Junior High school.
Gregory Miller, second son of the William Millers, also received a cowboy
outfit for Christmas and here shows sister Valerie, 5, how quick he is on the
draw. Gregory is in the third grade at Roosevelt school. Twins, Pamela and
Deborah, 2 years old last week, complete the family.

Every little girl loves dolls, and five-year-old Jill Sorensen, Mike's younger sister, re
ceived a blond beauty for Christmas. Dolly came equipped with a stroller for daily
airings, and roller skates on her little white shoes. One of Jill's pals, a pussy cat belong
ing to a neighbor family, joined the scene uninvited but turned out to be photogenic too.
