Fly Them to Paris:  Not to be outdone, the PTA of Vista La Mesa School held its fifth annual fashion show, “Ooh La La,” in the cafeteria, which had been transformed into a Parisian sidewalk café. As models strolled past signs reading “St. Germain,” “Right Bank” and “Christian Dior,” pianist Betty Means and the Balladears warbled a medley of French songs. Frank Black was the commentator and parents and kiddies modeled stylish stuff from area shops.

Fly Them to Vegas: A “Three-Day Las Vegas Vacation for Two,” sponsored by the Lemon Grove Chamber of Commerce, boded well for the group’s annual budget with nearly 2,000 raffle tickets sold, reported Chamber president Larry Folda.

Western Airlines contributed the flight tickets, the Desert Inn the digs, the Chamber $300 in spending money, Michael’s Steak House a filet and champagne dinner, and local shops an array of baubles, shoes and swell duds.

Ransack 1959 issues of the Lemon Grove Review though we will, we can’t find the winners of this snazzy getaway. It’s been 50 years, but if you’re out there, sing out.
