Today Young Life has branches in 250 high-school districts in 23 states, a newspaper, and an annual budget of more than $500,000. Funds are supplied primarily by contributors, including some big businessmen.

Teacher's Lesson. Strong man of the corporal's guard defending the subdivision was Homeowner Theodor Repsholdt, a high-school teacher. "I am a resident of Deerfield and teach your children American history," said he. "I'm a Lutheran and I'm in favor of an integrated community." Catcalls from the floor: "Resign! Fire him."

Heading the well-wishers of Republican House Leader Halleck on his silver anniversary in Congress was touring Vice President Richard M. Nixon. At the flag-draped rostrum, facing 15,000 Hoosiers brimful of yellow perch and Republican politics, Nixon, after saluting Halleck, the crowd and the perch, said: "Now, I want to relate the international situation to this meeting we're having...
Show-off lads who hurtle their old Mercs around too screechingly (turning on the afterburners) are High-school Harrys. Well-dressed and popular men are cool dads and hard cats. But the answer to every coed's prayer is a king or snow job. Many a coed, dating up a storm, gets snowed (or sewed) for an infatuated spell called snow time (if her king is too cool, she may have to shovel out the snow).
