THE FIVES HAVE IT
He's the most to the teens, but Harry Zimmerman of KSTP-TV admits he's partial to fives
With Harry Zimmerman calling the tunes, the teens dance in the studio. At home, the post-teens watch, and trip some light, fantastic steps, too.

Harry and his family have dancing parties of their own at home. Here, he and Jo Ellen demonstrate for Leslie, Nancy, Heidi, Derek, wife Betty.
Ahoy! The cap'n of the dance party is a "Vice-Commodore."
Teen-age dancing parties are the rage on TV now. In the studios, the teens dance. At home, however, the postteens aren't sulking. They're watching and sharing the fun. And, from time to time, they venture a few dance steps themselves. Surveys show that there's a large adult audience for these teen dance parties, and a man like Harry Zimmerman is a good reason why. . . . Harry's the host of Hi-Five Time, seen weekdays at 5 P.M. over KSTP-TV in St. Paul. The high-school set is wild about Harry, who knows almost more than they do about the latest teen record tastes, fads, likes and dislikes. But this host's relaxed manner and quick wit aren't lost on the post-teenagers, either. . . . Any way you look at it, there's fun for everyone in watching Harry and the teenagers in the big studio "F." And any way you add it up, you've got Harry's number if you've got five. There's the show, seen at 5 o'clock on Channel 5. There's the fact that, when the walls had been stretched and all the people possible had been jammed into a recent studio "open house," there were five hundred of them — not four, if you please, or six. And, in stepladder order, there are five little Zimmermans: Jo Ellen, 12; Nancy, 9; Leslie, 4; Heidi, 3; and Derek, 2. . . . Harry first broke into broadcasting while stationed with the Air Force in New Mexico. From there, he traveled overseas as emcee of two entertainment units, both of which were headed by Peter Lind Hayes. Back in the States, things moved fast for Harry, who gained radio experience apace before he eventually returned to Minneapolis. He joined KSTP in 1956. . . . Harry emcees various record hops and, as Vice-Commodore in Charge of Sports and Lakes for the 1958 Minneapolis Aquatennial, he was charged with organizing more than twenty-two Aquatennial events. Add at least five other civic organizations and that leaves only the wee hours for Harry's golfing. . . . The hours not accounted for, Harry spends with his wife Betty and their youngsters. When he's on the air, the Zimmermans line up in front of the TV set, with even the two littlest ones trotting around to "Daddy's top tunes." As we explained, with a man like Harry Zimmerman, teen parties have an unexpected audience.
