able girl in the Senior Class. Carolyn Koonts, not to be outdone, got to
shore just after Elizabeth and reached for the title Best All Around. The
life guard, Pate, accidentally tripped on a pebble, dropped the title, and
Carolyn grabbed it, but definitely.
Martha Hooper and Sonny Timberlalce came gracefully swimming in,
Martha a little ahead of Sonny. Fate took one glance at the pair and handed
them a certificate for Best Looking in their class. Martha’s beauty en
tranced Pate and he, seemingly in a dazo, placed the titles Most Popular and
Most Outstanding upon her crown, also.
Loud yells and laughter heralded in Peggie McCulloch, Betty Gray Lind
say, and Marvin Crow. Fate held three titles high in the air. Marvin, being
a little taller than the girls, jumped higher and got two titles. Best Athlete
and Best Sport. Peggie jumped, almost fell, but was able to secure the title.
Best Athlete. Betty Gray held her hands out and caught the title. Best Sport,
as it floated down to land squan3ly in the middle of her cupped hands. Elated
over their victories, the three danced gaily down the beach to a hot dog stand.
Nancy Poster and Sidney Proctor were a bit dubious of the water. They
were afraid the salt water would ruin their spectacular bathing suits so they
had been sitting silently beside Pate as he awarded titles to their classmates.
Pate appreciated their patience and also appreciated the grandeur of their
bathing attire so he gave, them a badge titled. Best Dressed. Nancy and
Sid gave a “whoop” and ran for the water. Fate scratched his head, won
dering if he had been duped.
Just then Fate’s attention was arrested by a solitary figure swimming
slowly toward shore. It was a red-haired boy named Jimj Rsdwine. Jim
back-stroked, crawled, floated, and dog-paddled to shore, gave a good shake
(again in dog fashion), and walked leisurely over to Pate. “Anything left?” he
drawled.
Fate sisarched his pockets and came up with a badge titled Most Versatile.
He handed it to Jim in a dazed manner. It seemed Jim’s red hair (or was
It pink) had caught Fate off guard. Jirp turned lazily, walked back into the
water, and swam on out to Peggy Costner.
Fate waited an dwaited, but no_ one else would leave the wonderful
water. Finally he left the beach, tired and sle'epy, declaring everyone else
could “title himsislf.”
