“Ummmm, what delicious hamburgers!” said Bobby Glickman, Bev Addleson, Esther Lustig, Ilene  Rivers, Arlene Solof, Deanne Brown, Edie Press, Roslyn Burdman, and Roann Krasner as they were entertained at a bar-b-cue given by Linda Solof.  Fun and laughter were the main dish.

Entranced while he sang the favorite tunes he made popular were Pauline Glazier, Al Gardner, Bernie and Gordon Stolzoff, Andy Leeds, Bob Meyers, Dave Kennen, Roger Brenes, Susan Solof, Ed Ruskin, Jerry Wolff, Beverly Kitaen, Warren Glocco, Maxine Schoenkopf, Larry Schiller, Al Leener, and Fagyle Krasner.  Terrific fun.

Getting a sun tan and swimming at the Del Mar pool were Sue Ann Greenberg, Judy Leonard, Eleanor Cohen, Debbie Strauss and Marjorie Lowitz as they were entertained by Shelly Haffner on her 13th birthday.  Have fun—thirteen is a wonderful age.

Attention all teenagers:  Saturday, August 5 the Beth Jacob Youth is putting on a “Coketail Dance.” Come at 800 p.m. dance until 11:30.  Stag 30 cents and drag 50 cents.
