One Of The Serious Kind

A lot of you read all sorts of things about students and what they get up to and why they kick around, but you don't read so much about students who just get on with it.

One of the serious kind when it comes to applying herself to her studies is MELANIE DAVIES of Southampton. She’s really getting down to it at her university, but because it’s only the upset kind who get their names in the papers, we thought we’d do something about giving Melanie a mention.

Of course, in the first place she’s a very good looking student, and in the second place she makes the cutest pin-up girl. She’s lovely and symmetrical. 36"-24'-36'.

And she’s eighteen years old and that’s a vital age in anyone's life.

Helen Candlish

Oops!

Well, that’s the way it goes when pretty HELEN CANDLISH decides to do a spot of sun-bathing in a recalcitrant deckchair.

The sun’s right, and so is Helen. The only thing giving any real trouble is the chair. Helen may look as if she's sorted it out satisfactorily, but appearances are always deceptive.

There we are and all we can say to Helen is how simple she was to allow herself to be let down this away. Think of any recalcitrant deckchair and you’re on the track of one darned bump after another.

Ah, well, aplomb restored and there are no ladders and no tears. No one can take a bump and come up with this kind of smile like Helen can.

Bom-Diddy-Bom-Bom

Well, what else can we say?

We light on a view like this in the Scottish Highlands and what else is there except wow?

This is ANNE SCOTT, television personality and just about the shapeliest model North of the Border. They may have taken the old Flying Scot out of service, but they’ll never make Anne obsolete while she still has enough puff.

Puff? Well, all right, glamour.

You're stuck for conversation as you bump into her. You’re speechless.

You feel like a gormless goggler. All you can say is Bom-diddy-bom-bom.

That’s what we said in the first place.

Dizzy Mini

Down at Joe's there's a gorgeous thermostatic blonde who drives them all dizzy.

Thermostatic in this context means this gorgeous blonde remains in control and makes sure you don't boil over, mate.

Name? KAREN BURCH.

Occupation? Secretary at Joe's, the turf accountant's shop.

Hobby? Collecting money—what else?

Ambition? To marry a millionaire.

Age? Twenty-three.

Inches? 36-24-36.

Verdict? Declared the best bet Joe ever took on as a secretary, because she's not only competent, she's decorative and adorable.

In her horizontally striped mini, you can see why Karen drives them all dizzy.

Audrey Stewart

Fashion Conscious

Glamour girl AUDREY STEWART is training to enter the ranks of the top-line fashion models, and talent plus training equals what!

If you assume (how can you not?) that two beans and three tomatoes make a funny kind of sauce, you must equally assume that talent plus training make a fashion model like Audrey.

And a fashion model like Audrey must be the tops, and that’s all this little lady asks for.

College Days

Studying very hard for a massive amount of O levels, NINA JAMES finds college days exhilarating but earnest.

Getting off the campus to the quiet of the countryside helps her to concentrate on the earnest side of study, and the only complaint comes from the college fellers worrying about where she’s got to.

Nina hopes to be a teacher eventually.

She'll make a highly photogenic one, and all the boys are going to give her toffees at Easter.

Bobby's a Socker

When she was little her mum said she was a shocker.

Who said?

Her mum said.

Whose mum?

We’re talking about BOBBY SHAW. Her mum. When she was little her mum said she was a shocker.

Well, she’s not now, is she?

Now she’s a socker.

Eh?

Bobby’s a socker. You meet her, look her right in the eye and wham! — you’re socked, infatuated. Done for. Her slave for life.

Who said so?

Go away, you useless bitty-pitty. If a photographic model like Bobby Shaw doesn't have that kind of effect on you, you must have an armour - plated nutcase.

Susan Douglas

/

All Set

The point being that model SUSAN DOUGLAS is always elegant, always trim, and ready for whatever is just around the corner. In fashion work, Susan finds it policy to expect the unexpected.

Here she's all set and ready to go. Where? Well, maybe Paris—maybe

If you think they’d appreciate Susan in Paris, let us assure you she’s already appreciated so much here that she’d only go over our recumbent inertia.

What a Lovely Cook

Not so long-ago JENNIFER JAY was a lovely bank clerk.

Now she's a lovely housewife. And what a lovely cook too. On baking days, the whole place is sort of warmly aromatic. but if you call to sell anything don't go into the kitchen or you'll get conked. Jennifer likes to keep her kitchen to herself and people who put their noses into the hot oven on baking days aren't welcome.

She's quite a dish herself with her measurements of 36-25-37.

Julie Scott and Sara Scott

Look This Way

Amateur photographer JULIE SCOTT (she’s the cute brunette) gets ready to shoot amateur sitter SARA SCOTT (she’s the honey-blonde). It’s just for the fun of it.

Well, it’s a change for Julie to see into the view-finder instead of the-lens, and Sara is just right as a subject for black-and-white analysis.

Any girls who prefer being the subject to being the operator only need to look as gorgeous as Sara or as glamorous as Julie.

House Hunting

In Southampton, Hants, lives ANITA DALE.

She likes working in stylish coffee bars where the environment is atmospheric of the vitality of the young.

It keeps her bubbling.

She went house hunting the other day.

It's the kind of pursuit girls and boys find themselves engaged in when they're going to be married. You need a roof over your head to start with, as it's all going to work against you if you wake up after the honeymoon and find you're out in the rain.

Anita hunting for a suitable house made such an elevating picture that we followed her round with a camera. Hope you like the results.

Anne Furnaess

Student Model

Don’t be misled we're not inferring that ANNE FURNAESS is studying the glamorous art of modelling. Anne’s all set for a scholastic career. It just happens that she’s a spare-time model and a full-time student hence the heading.

Studying can be a hard grind. It helps to have a record player and a bowl of fruit to hand to lighten the burden of equations and logarithms.

Modelling, on the other hand, is pure fun.

All you need is a sense of humour, a sweet smile a series of nicely- distributed curves and a flair. Result, model student having fun and looking good.

Ribbons In Her Hair

Scottish lovely who's received lots of fan mail is SANDRA McPHERSON, hear about to find out if the hair ribbons someone sent her make her look cuter.

Sandra, a perfectionist, wasn’t too sure about the effect by itself.

By way of contrast, what about swish black nylons to offset the beautiful white ribbons?

Unprejudiced opinions are asked for, but no rude ones, please. Sandra may not be sure about the effect herself, but, man, we love it.

Look Which Way?

This way. Oh, okay, said JEAN STEWART, Scottish shorthand-typist from Glasgow.

Any way will do, really. Fact is, you look bonny from any angle. Don’t mind us saying so, do you?

Not at all, said Jean, only I bet you say that to all the girls.

Only to the bonny ones. You’re ever so bonny. Look this way, mmm?

Cheeky lot said Jean.
