Miss Priddy: “Yes, baa, baa, black
sheep, ■ have you any wool!”
Now, who do you think won in this
argument?
Ruby Fulcher received a nice large
red German parachute from her hus
band, Captain Lester Fulcher. Some of
the girls are going to be disappointed
when their boy friend sends or brings
them a red one for a wedding gown!
Gracie Chatham is continually whirl
ing her glasses by the piece that fits
over your ear. Such is habit. The other
night in the show she looked down
and there were her beautiful new
teeth being swung around! She de
clares she doesn’t know how or when
they were taken out!
It has been a pleasure to see the
following boys home again: Robert
Kendrick from the Merchant Marines,
Lt. Ernest Wall, Jr., Lt. John E. Jones,
T/Sgt. “Goat” Foddrell, Cpl. Jesse A.
Ramsey (my cuzz). Pvt. Ballard Prid
dy, Cadet Edsel West, Pvt. Coy Fergu
son.
Say, Gloria Carter, just why are
you going to Chapel Hill, N. C.? Don’t
tell me that you only go for the foot
ball games either. I’ll agree with you
that the Hills are OK!
Will someone please donate a fly-
swat to Miss Annie Millner. On the
other hand, maybe she doesn’t need it
for the one made out of rubber bands
seems to work. That’s ingenuity for
you!
