Special Albums--Special Pleasure Not long ago a friend told us about an album that pleased us very much. First, because it's such a good idea--and secondly, because it's always nice to hear that some of the suggestions we make are really being put to use. Our friend has a young daughter just turned seven. "The last year was a very exciting and busy one for Kim," she writes, "and I decided to do something about setting it down between covers." No, she didn't pen a book --she just collected all the pictures of Kim she.had snapped during the year and assembled them in proper sequence in a large album. ^ Entitled "Now We Are Six," the album includes* the high spots of those very important twelve months in a child's life. There are all- the wonderful new experiences of going to school for the first time--new friends and playmates-- the school bus--the playground and after-school activities. And as if that weren't enough, there are pictures to testify that Kim also had a brand-new set of front teeth and a very pert new Dutch-boy bob! Then, too, there are snapshots of Kim singing in the choir, practicing her ballet steps, making her dramatic debut in the school pageant, "going steady*' with her favorite beau Skippy (aged seven) --all innovations that occurred during the past year. And finally, the album closes with Kim's delight in receiving as & birthday present what she had been a'sking for all year long--"a new baby kitten named Christopher Cross --Chris Cross for short"! This is the kind of album we believe really pays off in pleasure and satisfaction in the years ahead. It's the chronicle of a never-to-be-forgotten,j year -- a chapter in the story of growing up -- that will remain fresh and vivid forever because now it's all "between covers"! --John Van Guilder Jake's seventieth birthday, July 21.
