Its only listener was attentive, Bobby Layton, who lay stretched out on the living room floor. Bobby! For heaven's sake, must you play that radio so loud? called his mother from the kitchen. I can hear that man screaming out here. But Bobby didnt even hear her, so rapt was his attention to the radio.

We enjoyed it very much. It was about some seniors and a freshman who were in an old tavern. The freshman had to go to the old tavern alone as part of his initiation. His rich uncle was a detective and he didnt want his nephew to read mystery books. So the seniors helped him put on a spooky mystery in the Spooky Tavern. It all turned out that Willy, the freshman, said he was never going to read mystery books again. His uncle then told him it was a fake and told him he would give - him anything he wanted to atone for the trick played on him. So Willy asked for a deluxe set of mystery books, which made his uncle faint. Monday we had our shots. -- : 'AHJiUir Dr. LA.
