PAGE 4 THE BLACKBIRD, ROCKY MOUNT HIGH SCHOOL TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1951 Hanger Unlocks Car Door ^ — Around the Campus BARBARA and BOBBITT Keys In Car; Boys At Fair Fair week! That meant plenty of excitement for one week. There are very few people who don’t like the noise and crowd of the carnival Of circus. To every fair-goer some thing will happen to cause that night to stick in his mind. So it was for three Rocky Mount high school boys. It all began when the decision of Fred “Tilt” Lee, Donald Bryan, and Sonny Hallford to take in the fair on a Tuesday night. After parking r. ar Kitty Friar’s house, they were on their way. Out there were plenty of their friends who were also trying to have some fun. When the wind started blowing? harder, flashes of lightning appear ed and the drizzling rain started falling, they decided it was time to head back to the car. Upon reaching the gate, Donald put his hand in his pocket for the key. To Donald’s amazement there was no key in the pocket and as a matter of fact, no key could be found. Where was that car key? Of course, just where it should be— in the car! But the trouble was they were on the outside and the key was on the inside. Advice Doesn’t Work The rain started coming down harder until it was a regular down pour. They were getting wetter and wetter. They started running for the car, hoping that maybe Dfinald had left a door unlocked. No such luck! So they had to take refuge with other “wet snails” on Purifoy’s SEAFOOD CAFE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS KELLY’S CLEANERS 546 South Franklin Street Dial 2-3609 DAIRY BAR 577 Raleigh Street FAMOUS For Sweaters For Skirts For ^ ■ Casual Shoes SEE YOUR FRIENDS AFTER SCHOOL AT Kitty’s porch. Betty Lou Davis, Ann Page, Peggy Deitzel, Thelma Inncaster, Worth Hobbs, and Tom my Avent were all giving advice. None of it worked! ! ! ! Coat Hanger Does the Trick It began to look as if they were going to have to spend the night standing out in the rain. By this time they were drenched to the sl’.in. Fred’s white bucks had been g) lashed with mud when Sonny stepped in a mud puddle. Then c^me Bobby Wilkins to the rescue. Finally by “brute force” they got tne vwndows on each side down a little. They got a coat hanger from Kitty’s mother and tried to pull up the handle. Wilkins had to leave, •so it was up to the three boys. Donald went back to the fair giounds to see if he cauld find someone to help. Fred took the coat hanger in hand and tried his luck. He couldn’t get the handle to come up either. Then upon trying to get the door knob up, luck was with him for up popped the knob. I- red and Sonny hopped in the car aiKi took off—ready to leave Don ald where he was, but upon circling the block they met Donald and in he got, wet tmt greatly relieved. Back To The Fair How could anyone be so stupid as to leave his keys locked in the :ar, they thought now, that they were back in the car. With those wet clothes on they began to get c(;lder, for it had turned chilly after he storm. But would they give up ? No! They rode around and later r;ot something to eat at the Dairy Bar. When they got through eat- iiif,, where did they go? Of course, it was back to the fair for them, for I wasn’t the night still young? But were they ! ! ! ! !

That score for the Goldsboro game was wonderful 12-7, although it took us a little while to warm up our boys they soon got in there and really worked hard. A big crowd was at Goldsboro for the game with practically all the Frosh really yelling. The loudest voices that we could hear were Ken Brin son, Billy, Spencer, and Bobby Daughtridge, plus Dott Russell Miirgaret Diehl, and Mary Wilson Richardson led by Shelia Robbins, Betty Ann Powell and Mary Avera. May be it was all this crowd of school spirited students that help ed the Birds go over ‘the line’ twice. During the Goldsboro weekend Weaver Wrenn visited his mother in Reidsville. George Newby was visited by Elva Griffin during the weekend of the twenty-first at the Medical Col lege of Virginia in Richmond.
