TALK OF THE TOWN 8Y BETTY JOHNSON 773-3385

File curtain goes up this week on | Another first rate musical put on by pur own local talent for Nappahee Civic Theaetr. “South Pacific” is !• AH all time favorite, and I suspect those who come see the play will be talking a lot about it for the next two weeks and humming some jf>f the popular songs from this hit : musical! After this week, “South Pacific” should be the talk of the • town for a while! I think you will .ehjoy this production. Football can be a mighty rough gpd tumble game as any fan can j§Sil you, and the boys who play on £|be grid iron do so at risk of in-jjagi-fing bumps, bruises, and broken ||jones! Just such a casualty is Quigley, son of the Phil Quig"fpys, who is now nursing a broken sustained in an intermurai :•football game at Indiana State Col||f,l?c. Steve is affiliated with Pheta Fraternity and was persuaded Iffy his fraternity brothers to take Sfcft in a game—much against his fltctter judgment! While playing sjjfcr D'Bulldogs a few years ago. ~S{teve tore the ligaments in one leg was side-lined for quite some S&ne so he is naturally a bit wary of fgc* sport! Again bad luck, and uniPjcky Steve will be doing things ti&mcwhat awkwardly with his left J|g‘.nd for a while. ||;.Thc Harold Prices have returned fHome from a two week trip east §j|hore they made a stop-over at Ni®ftcra Falls and enjoyed a week in w York City visiting with their sbn Eddie and his wife and seeing the sights of (ho bustling metropo■lls. The Prices report it w 7 as Nappanee night in the big town for one -delightful evening when the Rev John Metzlers hosted a buffet din irf-r at their apartment for the home .linen folks.

Bob Mellinger, Bill Farrington, and the. Hudson Chapmans. Mrs. Chapman is the former Mary - -Mutschler. After leaving New York City, the Prices explored antique sh.ops in Pennsylvania— especially those in the famed Bucks County , area—and they enjoyed seeing the beautiful fail icliage as they drove through the heart of that scenic w-utate. As usual, they returned home with a load of interesting antiques for their shop and also some happy memories of a really nice trip. The Tom Richmonds had a small family get-together last Wednesday evening to help celebrate Tom’s birthday. Mrs. Richmond’s parents, the Roy Pippengers were there and also Tom's parents, the Devon Richmonds. Young Troy Richmond, e;dy one year old herself, helped Iter daddy blow out his cake full of ...Awndles! There always seems to be a fam- ' Tly birthday party lor Mrs. Warren Shively to attend! She comes froir a big happy family of seven and two boys, and it has become the custom-for the girls and their two sisters-in-law to get together for a day of visiting and a bountiful birthday dinner in honor of the birthday celebrant. The latest oc;csssion for a party was last Thurs day when they all assembled at the home of sister Gladys (Mrs. Roscoe Coy) in Michigan City.
