Finally, one of them leaned over and said, "Hey, you know Shirley Temple's in the audience?" "She is?!" said Shirley. "Well, gosh, I'd like to get her autograph. Why don't you try to find her?" "I did, but it's so dark you can't see a thing!" "Look down there. Doesn't that look like Shirley?" So she walked down the aisle and came back and said, "You must be crazy. That's a lady with gray hair — " Shirley was having a wonderful time, but after the picture started, it slipped her mind. Then when the lights went on, the girls almost killed her, they were so mad. But she told them she dearly loved a joke and gave them her autograph, so they were nice enough to forgive and forget. In her spare time, she knits scarfs and afghans squares for soldiers. And writes letters. For her birthday she got quite a lot of stationery, because she has so many friends in the service to write to. She sticks to it pretty faithfully, because they say mail's so important to soldiers. A few weeks ago she went to San Francisco for a Bond rally. At the Stage Door Canteen they wanted her to make a speech, but she can't give speeches. So she got up and said, "This is certainly a pretty canteen." Later she cut a serviceman's birthday cake on the stage and had a dance with him. Afterwards, she visited the hospitals. No, there's nothing hard about it. Except when a photographer walks in with you — she thinks that's awful. Sometimes you can't do anything about it, except apologize to the boys and hope they know it's not your fault. But if you go in alone with cigarettes or something and just talk to them — just say anything silly that comes in your head, it's all right. Most of the fellows are cheerful. One boy did get her down though. The doctor told her beforehand he couldn't live very long, and did she mind going in? He had cute blonde hair and looked terribly young and came from New York, so she said she thought she'd be going to New York soon. "I'll be going back myself pretty soon, they tell me," he said. "Can I show you the town?" And he told her all the places he'd take her to, and if she ever acted in her life, she did that day, because she had to pretend she was all enthused, when really what she wanted was to crawl off in a hole and cry — After seeing those boys, everything else seemed not important for a while. But life goes on — For instance, Shirley'U be a senior at Westlake this fall. She'll get to initiate the freshmen. Has it all figured out exactly what she'll do to them — make them bring her flowers and something to eat and carry her books. Goodness, it seems hardly any time since she was a freshman herself. Never will she forget what they did to her. Got her up on the platform and told her to sing "Baby, Take A Bow" the way Shirley Temple used to sing it — "I never heard Shirley Temple," said Shirley. "How did she sing it?" So the senior had to show her, and she imitated the senior — which was slightly less foolish than imitating herself. It's funny — looking back, the time goes so fast — looking forward, it doesn't. Not that Shirley wants to push it — that's the last thing she wants to do. It bothers her to see girls try to act older than they are — pulling out their cigarettes and stuff. There are lots of ages where you can be old and sophisticated, but sixteen only comes once, and what's the sense of trying to get over it quick, as if it were measles As long as she's sixteen, she'd in
