.I&.!FLOOD, John.Last year John was full of ambition to become a soldier.He 's grown up now and just wants to be a husband. He 's onall round sportsman and with the aid of a Diploma and acoup le of thousand a year sh ould make the grade. After alla man ne ver knows real happiness until he's married, thenit's too late. My wife a nd I hod 20 years of ecstatic happiness.Then we met. Still we know that man is incomplete untilhe 's married. Then he's finished . John's saving up for thegreat day. We notice that he 's quit smoking, but he hasn'tquit fuming. Good luck to him anyway.BLOMBERG, Richard.Open-the-door Richard is a man of great cu ltu re. Hishi-fi records with rock and roll accompaniment are his mosttreasured possessions. His regular donee partner is also alass of great culture, wearing mainly a Mona Lisa smile. Hermind is a closed book. But it comes in on attractive wrapper.When Richa rd's rocking and roll ing becomes too boisterousshe g ives him a look that should be kept in a scabbard. It'sfunny how these short ballerina skirts have a tendency tomake men polite. We've never seen a man get on a busahead of one. Richard's serious approach to all p roblems willcorry him far.ALLAN, Michael.This dark serious lad drifted from Oakleigh Tech., wherehe left his mark. They've since rubbed it off. Apart from abroken leg and a couple of broken hearts his stay here hasbeen uneventful. He 's interested in all things fast and notcarrying surplus weight. Even his racy Austin 7 is stripped.This is a nominal two-seater although the passengers in thedickey seat, reached quite easily by a nimble leap over thebody, are inclined to be troubled by hot sheets of flame fromthe open exhaust pipe which ends underneath them.MAHER, Frank.This lad is the sitting image of his father. Don 't betaken in by that cherubic smile. Frank's trying to look likeStirling Moss. He apparently operates a fleet of cars includingan Arrol-Johnson, Jaguar and Plymouth. We'd fall forArrol every t ime . She's most useful for making tea as sheboils regularly every two or three miles. She steers beautifully.Frank and his passenger pullan the wheel wh ichrequires only five turns from lock to lock . The controls havebeen designed for the sporting driver. The brakes and acceleratorpedals are set very close together for quick heel andtoe changes.5
