LET ROCKY MOUNT LAUNDRY Keep Your Clothes At Their Best 223 S. Washington St. Dial 6-7158 I. W. ROSE Drug Co. Phone 6-7111 Kodaks-Film-Accessories Developing- With The Ahmiiii Marcie Milne, a 1953 graduate of Ro'.'ky Mount high school, re- ('•'ntly brought honor to her alma r.iater being elected president of Woman’s Hall at East Carolina College in Greenville, N. C. Velna Motley, of the class of 1953. has made the Dean’s list of Terras State College for Women in Denton, Texas. Velna made a B average last semester to receive this honor. We've shore come a long way in just a'half century 1 Just think! Years ago (around 1905> the favo- r;t!‘ form of entertainment was -•jpL'Ihn'j Bees and Friday after noon recitations. I Another radioai change has I Ijeen in the date business. Ten- i thirty \..as the curfew in 1925. An ! if l.i L'e Johimie or Janie over Intnyed that curfev;, he usually had I to dodge papa’s shoe. Nowadays, ; ::ie daugluer very lovingly takes dad's shoej’off and casually hides ! h(‘’.n. in the bodroom closet. The i boys (their feet being of such an ! •njvmocn m'j.gnitude) just borrow ' them for the fight. . NThose “leg of mutton” blouses I rau.st. have been handy durin? ! times of inflation. Nothing like j wearing one’s food supply, eh'M ? I Speaking of inflation (that was itlie topic under discussion, wasn’t lit?) and dates (the previous topic) dut':-h dates must have been “real cool” for the boy’s pocket book. In tlie:je times with shows, ham burgers and pegged pants costing what they do, only a few can even ifford a pocketbook! Pegged fants—humm! Now that ■rmst i)c a strange sight for the cld timers. The clothes, language and hair ,'jtyles must dazzle them, tiere we have the teenager’s an- •'■,v/er to the H-Bomb (H for Hep Cat, of course). V'es, thiT'.jis have changed! Of course, fe'-' teenagers are m a posi tion to judge the social customs 'of fbe f'ii’iy nineteen hundreds, so they ’can't say which’is better. Which would you prefer though— a nice quiet spelling match or a ‘ real gone doll”, and porkot full of Jack and a ripsnortin’ game of 'oall nlayed with the feet??? Norman John.son. a 1950 grad uate, has also honored his high .schrol by being elected. Captain of the Cadet Corps at Davidson College.

You could certainly tell ■!i 'I a lot of hard work and plan- pin-T bpd been behind the decora tion of the different cars! The band and majorettes really made a name for themselves at the game f^tr-ing the half time, didn’t they? T l >iought the w'ay they arranged the crowning of the “Campus .?''-eetheart” was exceptionally good! It was nice being able to see all the old “grads” who returned home fiom college just for the hornecoming activities. All in all, : tMrk our homecoming week was quite a s’uccess!
