Page 4 THE ECHO IN PREPARATION FOR THE TOURNAMENT The above picture was taken during lunch hour on the side porch of the Cafeteria. Interest in this ever-popular sport is growing as the picnic tournament draws close. Continued From Page 1 the loser gets thrown in the lake. His three opponents say that “Speedy” Jones will not be allowed to remove his shoes. There is considerable dis cussion now as to whether or not age superiority should be allowed a handi cap, one yard for each year. The only objection to this is that each of the four has grown 8 to 10 years older in the past week. There will be an unlimited supply of lemonade, iced tea, coffee, pop com and ice cream. Those who enter the pie contest can have all the pie they can eat. The only way that it will be possible to spend any money at the picnic will be at the Bingo table. This will cost 5c a game and all the money taken in will be given to the winners in Defense stamps. Everyone is to bring his own basket dinner, and it may be wise to bring something to spread it on.

Kilpatrick and Jackson, two elderly members of re fining “D” certainly do set a good example for the younger boys .. . Jack Wilber is the proud owner of a new set of teeth which not only ended his soup diet but improved his appear ance a little . . . Some of our boys have been wondering what kind of instrument Fred Wallin plays in the band. Is it really a “pooch” horn? . . . If anyone is interested in the identity of the two young ladies to whom B. Middleton was talking on the street corner in Brevard re cently, they were distant cousins of his??? . . . When and if Fred Bishop can get a gallon of gas, he’s going fish ing for some Japs . . . Have you seen Pat Poor’s new beach tan? It’s quite becoming . . . We welcome a newcom er to our §hift this month, a tall, hand some lad named Victor Rash . . . Some timely questions heard here and there: Wonder what will be rationed next. Some say shoes, if everybody walks as much as Foreman Patton . . . How’s your gas holding out? Could you spare me a little sugar? Any chance to get a couple tires re-capped? When have you heard from your local draft board? Wonder how so and so’s get ting by? Will we never get any more cigars? ... Ere we “ECHO” again another Independence Day will be his- tory.
