Kissing is the best expression of love. It does not need words to send a message. If you're a sucker for romantic movies, you have witnessed this countless times. It is not merely lips that touch each other. It has health benefits as well. Look at that. It lessens stress. Kissing has a calm... | 28 |

If they had it to do all over again, Benton Woods, Neal Canady, Ira Lindsey, John McLeod, and Ben Smith would have stayed home on Saturday nights a century ago.

The Music Man Cometh Our band didn't exactly have seventy-six trombones. Four was all we had. There weren't one hundred ten cornets right behind either. But, we did have six.

You have never seen Laura Darley's picture on the front page of the Courier Herald. People like her rarely wind up on the front page of any newspaper. That doesn't mean that you won't recognize her if you see her. Many of you have eaten lunch with her. You may have seen her in the lunchroom a... | 33 |
