Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

"Well, if I wasn't here today, I guess I'd be out socializing some place else," quipped 69-years-old John Brennan of South St. Paul. He had just been crowned king of the seniors of the St. Paul Winter Carnival. Not unknown to senior citizens groups, Brennan, 328 13th Ave. N., a retired NSP buildings department worker, belongs to four such organizations.
The 1977 queen of the Senior Royal Court, Mrs. Eloma Brown, 882 Dayton Ave., a slender woman, sprang from her throne to the dance floor minutes after being crowned.
