haired, dark-eyed beauty, classmates in the fifth grade at
i\'lason School, dropped into the NEWS offices last week
to show us an excellent photograph of smiling Lyndon
B. Johnson, President of the United States, snapped by
Nancy at Metropolitan Airport. Mason classes were on

'got her shot." The picture took two days to develop,
(:'"ancy sat on pins and needles all the whHe), but the
result was worth waiting for ... and Nancy already has
15 orders from friends who want couies. (She wouldn't
part with the original for love or money, however).
