Circle K Is Hosted
At Cookout Supper
By JIM HUNTER
Mr. George Hazelton, faculty-
advisor to Circle K, hosted a
cookout at his home for members
of Circle K and their guests at
5:30 Wednesday afternoon on
September 29.
Each member was previously
encouraged to bring a guest if he
so desired. Six members, three of
which brought guest, attended
the cookout. These members
were Jim Hunter, Paul Howard,
Tom Johnson, Jim Acker, Roy
Loyd, and David Silva. The
guests were Debbie Faulkner,
Linda Carawan and Faye
Ownbey.
The cookout turned out to l>e a
lot of fun. Mr. Hazelton cooked
the hotdogs on an outside grill. He
was such a good cook we had to
fight off “Snoopy” (Mr.
Hazelton’s dog) for possession of
the hotdogs after they were taken
off the grill. Finally, holding off
“Snoopy” we took the hotdogs
inside because of the pre
hurricane weather that we were
experiencing.
Mrs. Hazelton had already
assembled the other goodies on a
table, just waiting for us to
hungrily dig in. She had cooked
some pork ’n beans that were
seasoned to perfection. Also there
was potato salad and all that
makes a hotdog complete, rolls,
onions, slaw, chilli, ketchup and
mustard. For washing down all
these goodies, pepsi cola and
orange soda was provided.
After filling our stomachs with
seconds and for some thirds, we
all settled back, listened to some
quiet music put on by Mr.
Hazelton, and had a nice talk on
many topics ranging from music
to the TV series, “Night
Gallery.”
It was a most enjoyable af
ternoon and upon our departure
at 7:30, we each thanked Mr. and
Mrs. Hazelton for having us over
for such a nice time.

to surf.
ANYONE who wishes to enter

a chance to be with other surfers
in your college, a chance to go
surfing more often and a chance
to get way from this hole on the
