October 7, 1955 High Life GHS’S PARKING LOT FILLED Behind Senior High School is a large tract of land. It is occupied hy trees, ruts, glass, spare parts, and for eight hours of the day, it is congested by the strangest men agerie of cars ever seen. Three times a day these cars with their whistling chrome tail pipes, strange sounding horns and squeal ing tires “raise dust” much to the consternation of the faculty. Cars of every size, shape, color and description, including jeepsters and stjation wagons are to be found in this parking lot at one time or another. A few relics of bygone days still linger in the shape of T-model Fords and Chevrolets with triple exhausts, bug-eyed headlights, .!poked wheels, and continental tires. These may be seen towering over petite, low-slung foreign cars such as the Volkswagons and MG’s. Predominating in popularity is the well known “Chevy”, with Fords and Plymouths battling it out for second place. The favorite color is blue, of one shade or a- nother, but in the whole array there are colors of every hue. Some of the new two-tone models have come up with combinations of black and white, red and cream, and even beige, all sprinkled lib erally with chrome. Convertibles are well-represented too, our park ing lot being blessed with approxi mately 15 of these treasured chari ots. Don’t underestimate some of those so called jalopies though. If you put some of them on a drag strip, you’d see how many rocket 88 engines are under ’38 hoods! At 3:30 they’re off in a cloud of dust, and as the last of these daily occupants slowly makes his way across the ruts, the parking lot is left for another day. Quill And Scroll Sociely Announces Nominalions Nominations for membership in Quill and Scroll, the journalism honor society, have been announced for those students eligible. The requirements for eligibility are that the nominee must do out standing work on one of Senior’s two publications, HIGH LIFE or WHIRLIGIG and must have crea tive ability in writing, an average of 90 or above, and he must be in a junior or senior home room. The students who received no tice of eligibility are Mary Lou Hutton, Nancy Tuttle, Dick Robin son, Betty Adams, Ann Butler, Jane McLennon, Bose Ravanel, Martha Williamson, Robert Hew- ett, Josie Gregory, Barry Frahm, and Dan McConnell. Because membership in the so ciety is limited, all the students can’t be inducted. As a further proof of their capacities, they must submit an example of their liter ary work; a poem, essay, short story, or theme. These entrants will then be judged by three mem bers of the English faculty and by present members of Quill and Scroll. The faculty judges are L. W. Anderson, Miss Maude Carter, and Miss Sara Mims; The list of officers for 1955-56 is incomplete but will be filled in when the new members are added. The presidents, however, were chosen last year before the membership was depleted when the seniors, graduated. Diane Schwartz and Donna Oliver are serving as presidents. The job of Quill and Scroll this year will be to compile students’ writings and to publish them in Senior’s literary magazine, HOME- SPUN. The magazine is usually completed and issued In the spring.

Your clothing should have taller, trimmer, slim mer hnes . . . livelier “charred tones” colors . . . lighter weights this fall. Yes the “natural” look is the tvell-dressed look this fall. At Hall-Put- nam’s you are sure to find the look you want in such famous name brands as . .. HART, SCHAFFNER & MARX DEVONSHIRE • ARROW STYLE-MART RESISTOL STETSON McGREGOR NUNN-BUSH HICKOK “Sorry wrong number!” When you answer the phone, do you greet an anonymous somebody who wanted somebody else? If you are a victim of these circum stances, do not worry, for you’re not alone! For instance in calling Hilda Holt, whose number is 35144, a slip of the finger could connect you with Betty Sapp at 35044. Or if you want to converse with Barry Frahm at 8453, you’ll more than likely end up talking to Bill Frank lin at 8423. Such things do hap pen! “Has my drunk husband been brought in yet?” may often be Kirk’s Sineath Motor Co. 24 HOUR SERVICE Phone 2-3456 420 Battleground Ave. MARTIN’S STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHING SCHOOL LIFE FOR THE 1956 WHIRLIGIG STUDIO AT 112 E. GASTON ST. TELEPHONE 7237 heard in Prago Guyes Store, as its number, 31957, is often confused' with that of the county jail, 31956. Or the jail ma yget the call “Please send that pair of bed room slippers to me.” Often in the middle of the night,, you can hear Janie Walters, 31657, answering the phone to a plead ing voice crying “Please send the doctor! My dog’s back itdies.” It so happens that the Battleground Veterinary Hospital’s phone num ber is 36157. Dick Robinson and Glenn Dyer can easily be confused as Dick’s phone is 34352, and Glenn’s is 34325. Such is the case with Buck Hoyle and Tim Goodman—8828 and 8823 respectively. In calling Mary Lou Hutton at 21176, a blink of the eye could cause you to dial 21186, which will put you in touch with Donna Oli ver. Have you inspected your dialing finger lately? Perhaps it is the . jittery kind; when you meair to call Sally Jordon at 8076 you call Kay Crutchfield at 8607. Julia Mci. Nairy, whose number is 47091 is eosily confused with Judee Rivers,. 40719. Jim Martin may hear, “My lit tle boy choked while eating hiy goldfish. What do I do now?” aff he picks up the phone, for hfs number which is 8698 is very simi lar to that of a local physician, 8696. The moral of this thesis is— when you answer the phone, al ways say good-by. r,, xMt noose 'JLd 110 N. ELM STREET Phone 2-6559 THE PURITAN CAFE 218 W. Elm St. PHONE 4-5380 OPEN FROM 6 A. M. TO 2 A.
