PAT SCHALLER GRADUATES WITH S.T.A.R. RATING Pat Schaller became a K.O. P.S. in December, 1964, and has held that weight for one full year plus an extra three months as K.I.W. K.O.P.S. is a term used by the T.O.P.S. Inc. meaning Keep off pounds sensibly and K.I.W. is KOPS-inwaiting. Pat had to hold her perfect weight for a period of three months before graduating. Although the W.L.S. club has no connection with the TOPS, Inc., the term for their graduates is S.T.A.R. Which means "Stay Thin And Radiant." Pat is an inspiration to the other members. With the shedding of 25 XMAS Largest Selection of Scotch Pine & Balsams in McHenry DON'S Dairy Frost Zi Block East of i^Iver Bridge pounds she is a much happier and healthier girl. Although her weight loss isn't as great as some, it has meant just as much t9 her. She caught the overw^ht problem before it was tooi^r out of hand, made her goal and has kept it. It is just as hard to keep your weight as to lose it and this is the reason she still belongs to the W.L.S. Club. If anyone would like to try for "stardom", you can call 385-0873. Christian E.
