High Times
BY ELIZABETH LUPTON
First off, the teen-agers of the
Southport school want to thank
the paper for the use of a column
just for us. Now that we have
finished that, we are ready to
begin the task of telling- about
Dur parties, clubs, basketball
games and, last but not least, our
school activities.
First I want to mention Stuart
Arlington and her lovely formal
party. Everyone had a wonderful
time and you'd be surprised how
pressed up everyone was. Pat,
Stuart's sister, had a schoolmate
from Flora McDonald College
and other friends present." Nearly
everybody In town attended and
there were several from out of
town. But who wouldn't go with
mistletoe hanging on the ceiling!
I also want to mention that Pet
er Robinson, a New Hanover
liigh school student, was one , of
the guests.
The school feels pretty lucky
this year to have Mr. Stevenson
Engagement Announced
Mr. and Mrs. Jesse A. Purvis, of Ash have announced the en-1
gagementof their daughter, Robbie, of Salisbury, to Harvey Little-I
ton Trexler, Jr., of Salisbury and Lancaster, S. C., son of Mr. and
Mrs. Harvey L. Trexler, of Salisbury. The announcement was made
at the annual Christmas dinner gathering at the home of Miss Purvis' j
maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Robbins, of Sharpsburg. j

as its musical director. We plan
to have a school band next year
with his help, and you never saw
such cooperation! Just between
us, I never knew that Southport
people had it in themselves. We
plan to have two awfully good
singers by next year, Patricia
Adams and Gloria Lee Hewett.
Now, in case everybody doesn't
already know, I'll tell you who
has been around this week: Kar
en Swan ? and Harriet Corlette
making monkey faces in the hall.
Latitia Hickman, Stuart Arring-1
ton, Iris 'Rabon, Catherine and!
Rebecca McRackan, Linda Hick
man, Lena Ward, Nancy Swan,
Eulene Stidham, Peggy Arnold,
Betty Jean Helms and Ula Gar- j
net sporting around in their new I
basketball uniforms. . . Thursday I
night saw Gloria Hewett, Janice I
Swan, Bernice Phelps 'and Eliza- j
beth Lupton ; (cljeer leaders for j
the basketball t elm's) is interest-,
ei; spectators of the colored high
school ganie against East Arcadia.
The cheer leading by the young
colored people also came in for
much attention. . .Among others
of the students present at this
game were Joan Marie James,
Peggy Arnold, Eulene Stidham,
Billy McDowell, Harold Spencer
and Tommy Bowmer.
Friday morning we saw Billy
Smith sitting on a radiator. . .
Darrell Fisher was smacking
bubble gum during glee club ...
Loretta Spencer and Boyce Spen
cer making wisecracks . . Bobby
Cullis and Bertram Burris were
nosing around. , Jackie Marsh,
Nancy Swan and Janice Swan
chatting during glee club. And
Jimmy Ratcliffe was swooning
over a cute girl from Wilmington.
Oh, yes, I want you to see those
lovely pictures taken last week.
Friday night was a great night
for the young folks. The boy and
girls had new basketball uniforms
and were they snazzy!' We will
be 'proud to walk off with the
championship now that we have
those pretty uniforms. Another
reason for its being a big night
was that we won both games
with the Waccamaw school. Our
girls came out with a score of
19 to 6 and we owe eleven of
these points to Betty Jean Helms,
our one-hand shot star. Without
even guessing you will know that
Rebacca McRackan was next.
She made 4 of the 19 points Lat
itia Hickman and Catherine Mc
Rackan finished out the score
with 2 points each. Nancy Swan
and Ula Garner were not quite
so lucky," but both of them play
ed a good game. Of course, half
the credit goes to our guards,
Linda Hickman, Eulene Stidham,
Iris Rabcn, Lena Ward, Stuart
Arrington and Peggy Arnold, who
were realy on the ball.
OUr boys did even better. They
won 35 to 8. Gene Russ walked
off with the high scoring title.
He made 10 of the 35 points.
Tommy Bowmer came in second
with 8 points and G. W. Fisher
ran him close with 7. Bobby
Spencer didn't make the 20 points
he had promised to make, but
he delivered 6 and they really
came in handy. Billy Dosher and
Sonny Hickman finished out the
score with 2 points each. ^ So we
won, but I think we should re
member Mr. Sanders ,our coach,
and he is a good one.
Well, I guess this takes care of
this week. So, be good and don't
do anything I wouldn't do.

Chevrolet
on the world's toughest Proving Ground
WHEN you see the 1949 Chevrolet, a
glance will be enough to tell you
they're new?all new?in line and contour,
in beauty and style. And when you look
inside, and under the hood, and beneath
the chassis, you'll see that their newness is
not merely in outward appearance, but in
design and engineering and construction
as well.
BJt, to a lot of people, the 1949 Chevro
let is already old. They know what it will
do, and how exceedingly well it will do it?
they know all about its performance, its
comfort, its power, safety, durability and
economy. They are the engineer* and tech
nicians of the General Motors Proving
Ground?the largest, most completely
equipped, outdoor testing laboratory in
the automobile world.
Here, before a single new 1949 Chevro
let went into production, experimental
models were tested?made to show that
they possess, in greater measure than ever,
all those qualities on which Chevrolet hat
built its leadership.
In short, the General .Motors Proving
Ground tests are your assurance that your
new-model Chevrolet has proved its worth
through many months and many, many
thousands of miles of rough handling.
Soon you will see the new Chevrolet?
and when you do, you will see a car not
only new, but tried and true. , '
