    THE SANDSPUR
EDITORIALS
HERE AND THERE
No doubt you’ve already been approached by Bob
Hazard or another of Mr. Crawford’s super salesmen to buy
a ticket to their production of “Outward Bound.” If you
are a vet or anybody else for that matt^ you were probably
broke and merely promised to buy one. Thats OK^but
don’t forget to do it. Checks should be in by now so let’s
buy a ticket and see a really fine serious play.
To the family of Ray Owens, our most sincere ex
pressions of sympathy in their time of bereavement.
We have gotten the word that Mr. Martin, Business
Manager of P. J. C., celebrated his birthday on Monday,
March 28. Let us take this opportunity to wish Mr. Mar
tin a very happy birthday, and many more to come. By
the way, Mr. Martin, how many candles were on that cake ?
Let’s let a word to you wise sophomores be sufficient
—Although senior colleges are not as crowded now as they
were right after the war, they still have plenty of students
to keep them busy; so if you’re planning to send in an
application, you’d best hurry up.
We have noticed that since the last issue of the
“Sandspur’’ the unsightly garbabe cans have been moved
into the kitchen of the chow hall. That really improves
the looks of the place and Mrs. McCallum is to be congrat
ulated.
While we’re passing out orchids we might send
“Rock” Rogers a few for the fine job of re-painting the
rec’ room he did. It sure brightens up the place.
A little bord tol’ us one student at P. J. C., Hugh
Russel, and one Betty Jean Watson of the fair city of
Maxton got themselves engaged^ last Saturday, March 26.
No diate has been set as yet for the wedding, so let’s just
fcay, congrates, Hugh and Jean—may you live happily ever
after.

Humble apologies go to “Stinky Powell” and his SKUNRS

BANK ROBBERS,” and “THE CUBAN CASAN0VAS” As
prizes, each member of the “SKUNKS” received a cake of
