THE PILOT APKIL, 1951 A Letter Home Biling Springs, No. Car. April (you fool) Greetings, Salutations, Howedy and such stuff, (well shut your mouth). I ain’t got much to say so I will endevor to write to youall. Maw, theys somethings goin on down here that I don’t atall sanc tion. First, formost, primary and Roman numerural no. I, I want to mention in the beginning (that are before I go any furder) the debate- able and very questionable practicf of going"to classes. This thing has gone so blasted basnikaling fur that now it are plum hibitual. The ques tion on the scaffold is whuder ir nor. classes air esential to fetching book laming. It pears to me that we do sufficient ponderering, codgitating, chinking, and regeurgutating out doors uve classes to be weel alpha- beted. In the second place, segundo Spanish, Roman mumernual no. duces wild to dad, I want to f_-. about air thet Maw Starnes have been a fixen up the scioble parlor. They have stained it with some color of green. Of all the crazy things, somebody invented a loving seat. Maw Starnes had to trapese over yonder somewhere and fatch a wagon load of um. If them gals have any respect a’tal they go around lettin a seat love em when they won’t even let us. At this pint i won’t ..to expound and philisophy on these younguns here who like a whole lot of wh ' the people in Morgantown like little of. What they air doin that air so crazy is due to the fact _ tye air letting their studing go to their heads. Maw, the truth is that their studing to get smarter is driv ing them crazy. Maw, us all had the elections tuth- er day. It was a booming success, we got someone in every office. Well Maw, jest like I always say, toodle- loo. Your ’lil youngen James Arther Trantham P.S. I’ll not ask youns to send me no mothin’ but I air sending this letter C. O. D. e last i£ Active Marshals Take Trip The active Marshals spent last weekend at Ridgecrest; they paid their expenses out of the tips that they had received at various Ban quets this year. They left Friday night after a banquet and arrived at Ridgecrest early Saturday morning. Saturday they w ent on a tour of the moun tains near Ridgecrest. Sunday they went in to Asheville to attend Sun day School and arrived back atifJar- dner-Webb late Sunday night. The active Marshals, sponsored by Miss Starnes, are Sara Blanton, Julia Hancock, Agnes Mull, Rachel Smith, Cora Ray Beam, Marion Ben- field, Bryan Gillespie, Jim McDan iels, James Stamey, Bob Mulhnax, and chief Marshal, Sara Reece. sophomores, including “The Green Raider," so we’d better make it good. We’ve slandered and we’ve trampled, we’ve stepped on toes and heads, and if there is something chat weve missed, it is purely co incidental. If it isn’t in this col umn, we’ve decided to throw up our hands and quit. We’ve jeopardized our life and limbs by writing this column, and it is our aim to do our i^est .... I mean, our “dirt” . . . . With broom in hand and dust-pan in s ght, we shall now attempt to oring the dirt to life. Mollie, why have you become so interested in record - collecting? Could it be that “He” started it with a good one from Texas? Seems as if Pegg-y Love went to uhe banquet with Andy Sealey — Better wake up Jack, I still beli chere is a chance for you. It doe, look too obvious, though. Alan Lawrence’s fancy has tu ed toward something besides ba_- bail, mainly Mary Suddreth, that cute little girl from Lenoir! It seems that Nell’s Andy has on time lately. Could it be that she’s actually put her Uttle foot down? I wonder why Grace Neilson has changed her room so she can get a good view at the Cliffside Highway. Or is it the highway????? Don’t tell me that Hazel finally was “the one” for Marion. It’s al ways best to be sure of those things, nut it looks pretty obvious this time. Sara, its a good thing you are scouting around, because Banks just "" forget that girl back 5. She n t it ti and keep them! The girls on second floor eep anymore of a’morning for velyn Leigh and Shirley Dedmon singing “Got Georgia on my Mind.” “ t brings to mind a certain blonde ^ there that sings good-night sweetheart to a picture every night ^es, it is BUlie Falls, itulations, Frances lly succeeded in getting a date. We are keeping our fingers crossed on the first one and here’s hoping that it won’t be the last one. fiecky Browning has two “spark- rs” to match the one on the third finger, left hand — those in her eyes. We would certainly like to know _ 1st who calls Marjorie at 5:30 in the morning. It must be very, very important. ,t several boys have failed that of getting a date with Mary Dean Minges. Playing hard to get does get one some place some time, but we'd like to mention that it “rarely” does, so don’t make a practice of it. Peggy, was it worth climbing over wire fences and ruining your white £uit to see Gene’s cattle. The things chat some boys expect!! Some of us are wondering just how Barbara Davenport never loses sleep and yet manages to make very good grades. Well, The Boiling Springs day Kind of Love”????? Marianna, Joan, Alice Lee, and Rachel Lemons have me stumped but I’ve always heard if you want to know about a Pord-uh-a Pontiac, guess that goes here. I heard, by way of rumor, that Barbara Hujgins doesn’t like the so cial hour of our humble school she goes horr^e on week-ends she can be with Gene until af 11:00. The audacity of some peoj Say, Pat, could it be the fact tl you have looked at Bob so mi: that you have strained your eyes. I can’t see how a boy as good-looking as Bob could cause a girl to hi to see the doctor about her eyes. ■llta Beck seems to have a gleam in her eyes every time sh /Trig.” .... Which one of those males are you trailing No wonder Flossie Slater lil go home. She has a boy-friend ing for the train to come in. Flos sie won’t admit that she h; Jean Allen seems to be having a lot of fun gathering flowers for Che banquet. There couldn’t be any significance to the flowers could there? By the way, just who is 1 voice that calls Beth over the squaw cox lately? It seems that song birds of a feather flock together. For example, Ramona and Heffner. Speaking of birds flocking together, look at that^cute little Agnes Mull and Jim Trantham, and coming along behind them are a couple of more birds called Stamey and Sara. One will usually find that “Hawk- eye” Morgan and Gillespie behind them. What a friendship!! “Schizo” Devlin looks mighty pret ty behind that eight-ball on east wing. We don’t mean Cora Ray either. Speaking of Cora Ray, seems that she had another caller the other day .... it wasn’t Phil either none, other than Julian O’Daniels. Velma, how in the world did you ite dating Bobby Pettyjohn . . all of us would like to know the that. In fact, a few of us wouldn’t mind dating him ourself. How did you do it? "ickey, why don’t you forget Bob give .someone else a break??? After all, he is a fur piece away. Frances, what is your reason for wanting to hear station WOHS very Sunday morning?? I’m sure it isn’t the program .... Jim is a good announcer though. You two "em to be really “hitting it off.” “He’s long and tall and that ain’t all” Is that right, Mary Dorcus ? What has happened to Mary Fran ks Howard and Sam Travis. We □n’t see them together anymore. How about a little inside dope on this, Sam? Ray Carnes didn’t seem to have as bad as he thought, because he Id Iris Champion seem to be get ting along fine. mice, James will be gone next have it and s( The elections were more enthu siastically carried out than ever, even surpassing the campaigns of last year. Perhaps the most spectacular campaign was that carried on by Thurman Aldred and his campaign . manager. Max Linnens. Who was that cute little brunette we saw with you at the banquet, Bobby Denny? Could it have been Helen Abbott? She must make good grades in history, too. Dot and Mulky are another couple that has “got it made.” Opportunity only knocks once, Washburn. It shorely didn’t knock hard enough!! If I recollect right Margaret Swann had a MALE caller Sunday night could this be a “Sun- e glad Pinky (sorry. Red,) where can we find the pattern to that green hat? No matter how hard v can not find a thing to v Roy Carson. Oh yes, there time when Richard Speara u Wonder why Milton is so Noblitt, that is. We are sui Chat he is over his Monday morning hang-over! A miracle has happened. Hillbilly music was heard from down Mary Nolan’s way the other night. What wing was almost laid out. That is until Doris Adair started singing. We want to know; does she take voice? Why does Tony Izzi never give the girls a break? He’s a whizz in his “day” classes. Wonder if he’d be interested in a few night ones????? We heard that Betty Sue met Ben at the courthouse the other day? How can one little letter do so much for a girl? Can you tell us, Julia? What do you think of the Evelyn- Sparkie romance? We’re fur it. Betty Jane never hawked the mail-box before? Wonder why she does now. Well, our time and our space have run out so we’d better sti^Md.take count of what we :ja^ive or-J^fii^t we don’t have. Ye^, 'we have rAor-e gossip, but time doesn’t allow. Until next year, “The Green Raider” Revival Held Alorg with approximately nine- :en thousand other churches all rer the South, our own Boiling Springs Baptist Church opened a se ries of meetings on Sunday night, April 8th. Dr. Lonnie Reavis from Green Street Church in High Point presented himself as a very ca- p:»ble and effective evangelist. The simplicity and vividness of his mes- iges stirred us with inspiration. Mr. Morrisett, assisted by Miss mes at the organ, led the congre gational singing with such a spirit, that no one could resist joining in. Several of the young people from college rededicated their lives to the Lord Jesus. Thirty-five people in- :luding two college students came IS candidates for baptism. The meet- ngs were concluded with a very im- jressive service Sunday morning. Dr. Reavis has given us incenitive to pursue and cling to the vital Christ ian life for which we were creat ed. Phillis Nolan and Theresa Mc- wain Who were those two soldiers hat came down to see you Satur- ay night? It seems as if Eleanor Cogdill just an’t find a boy that can compete 'ith Phil.
