Martin seems to forget that while things were going his way he never stopped feeding this column with juicy items about his friends. When the scandal about Martin broke—and the gossip around town mounted—this column worked with lightning speed to tell the readers what they wanted to know about. Wasn’t this only fair? The press is the servant— not the master—of the public. Gonna do something about that,

Martin? (Ha!)

HUBERT SMITH (the bachelor) and Carolyn Brewer (the beauty) are expected to wed soon. There’s no greater couple.

BARBARA TUCKER’S performance at the Cosmo Knights’ beauty contest the other night left the audience buzzing. She completely captivated the public. Her amazing display of charm and personality-plus won her the 1962 Cosmo Knights queen title and the right to reign at all the club’s social activities for this year. She was crowned by her long-time friend and neighbor, Janet Floyd, the 1961 titleholder. The judges couldn’t have chosen a sweeter dr more deserving gal. We knew she was a queen long before she entered the contest. Now everyone knows it. Hail, Queen

Barbara!

JOHN WILLIAMS warned: “The future of our race rests on the Negro youth. The more our youths show their capabilities for achievements the quicker the economic and cultural barriers to our progress will be removed.” John has never stopped fighting for his people. Salute! We need more Paul Reveres to wake up the Rip Van Winkles—so that •omething can be done about Naptown’s Simple Simons and Hump-ty-Dumpties. Not to mention the Captain Kidds.

HISTORIC MOMENT

* *r

JUDY ELLIS and Joe Winston are the talk of Naptown. This choice bit is reported by one of my bug-eyed spies, who says Judy and the former Butler student, now working for the city, are seen everywhere together. Judv’s preference for college students is well known. But this is the first time on record ‘she’s taken one mit of Butler. She once said: “Those Butler guys are square.” As for Joe, nis preferences in females ran to teen-agers before his hasty departure from Butler. Wonder what’s happened to his juvenile “wife”? * * *

MILTON BALTIMORE and wife, Hattie, are reported to be back in Naptown June 6—but just for a short time. Milton is teach-

REMEMBER Charles Sanders, once a student at Indiana Central and a well-known singer? He’s given up singing to run a cleaning shop with his wife, Patti, in Ann Arbor, Mich. Charles never put more effort in anything than he did in singing. We all thought he’d be another Johnny Mathis' until he picked up Patti who talked him into dropping his singing lessons and concentrating on the cleaning business, which Patti inherited from her fadda. This sort of thing doesn’t do much for a man’s independency.

PRIOR to marrying Mary Taylor, the gal with the million dollar figga, fyian Davis was a winner on an Arthur Godfrey talent show contest and has appeared on numerous television shows. According to one critic Brian was “prepossessing” and to another “fine” and to the rest “marvelous,” which apparently, is just what everyone thought of him. Now he works as a press operator at P.R. Mallory’s.

FROM MISS COX: “I think you’ve written some very interesting things about the girls in Naptown—why not write something about some of the very outstanding fellas here, too. I think we girls would like that. It’s been a long time since you’ve mentioned handsome guys like Elroy Edwards, Frank Anderson, Rubin Hill, Harold Poole and Tyrone Hicktnan. Find out for us, please, where they are and what they are

doing.”

O.K.! Elroy Edwards is still holding hands with Rosalyn Taylor. Frank Anderson, the deputy sheriff, is about to merge with Janet Floyd. Rubin Hill is still trying to break the color barrier with the Indiana State Police. Harold Poole is about to depart for Detroit for the 1962 Mr. America contest. As for Tyrone. I haven’t seen or heard from him

Evansville

By CLEONA HARDEN

EVANSVILLE — Evansville principals, assistant principals and school teachers were guests at an Appreciation Banquet held recently at the North High Cafeteria. Dr. Charles Rochelle, principal of Lincoln High School, and his assistant, Edward Niles, were among those honored. Mr. Niles, dean of boys at Lincoln, has taught 37 years. Each of the retiring teachers has seen a couple of generations of students.
