- The Cover — Five minutes of 12; 4 of 12; 3—2—1—Yeow! HAPPY-N-E-E-W YEAR! There go the happy voices: Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? Yes, sing of “old long since” (the good auld times), and a simultaneous cheer… to the good new times—yippee to 1958! With Mr. Electronics as her escort, glowy-eyed Mary Babysitter magically leaves the room without really leaving it, drops in at the Club Hullabaloo, and lifts her glass on high—here’s looking right back at you, folks! Junior is awake, but Ben Prins thinks that after uttering a few of his first New Year’s whoops, he will pipe down. Considering the untimely reading matter on that table, Mary should vow, “Hereafter I’ll hit the books harder on school days”—that but definitely is my resolution!
