...going to give away all our family secrets here, and I'm not going to write an article on the sex life of a scientist, but there are a few things these high school students might consider. I'll admit my husband wears horn-rimmed glasses, but about the only time they set on his ears is when he watches some esoteric program on TV such as Perry Mason, The Tracer or Bugs Bunny. We also go skindiving, go on camping trips to the desert, chase rabbits with the kids, cook over a cozy campfire, make love...
...Tough for Brakes. With the accent on speed, the maneuverability test became a rigorous trial for brakes. A pair of Pontiacs failed to finish even the first lap.

Conductor Mayo Buckner is a versatile musician; he sings bass, plays the violin, piccolo, clarinet, flute, bass horn, cornet and saxophone. Though almost entirely self-taught, "Buck" is good enough to have played in the town band. He is also a journeyman printer. His IQ of 120 is well above the national average. Yet for the last 59 years Mayo Buckner has been an inmate of Glenwood State School (for the mentally retarded...
