The students of Junior High have voted DOT KENDALL as the
best dressed girl and CHARLES JOHNSON as the best dressed boy.
Congratulations to you both!!
MAXINE FARLOWE’S wardrobe has greatly increased since she
has started wearing DONALD SETLIFF’S sweater. Anybody wear
size 40? Hmmm? By the way, Maxine was runner-up in the best
dressed vote—
If there’s anything I like, it’s the color yellow. Take notice to
JIMMY BUTLER’S yellow brogans, and “you’ll know what I mean.”
If you walk on your hands, Jimmy, you’ll pass for a butter-cup any ole
time.-
Shoes with no heel, no arch, and made of a very flexible fabric are
ballets and NOT bedroom shoes. And, too, they are the latest thing in
fashion. They're neat with spring and summer dresses. Try them and
see. And, too, they come in any color your little heart desires! ! ! !
Whoaaa Trigger—and there he is on Marilyn Robinette’s blue
sweater. Incidentally, Trigger is a silver horse pin. Betty Ann Rankin
wears one, too.
Carolyn Andrews and Patsy McManus are certainly not slow in
wearing their turtle-neck blouses. In fact, they’re fast!
Jean Kearns wore a loud, but pretty, combination the other day—
a vivid green suit and red sweater.
JOYCE LOFTIN—210.

WE PLAYED A CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!
(Or how it feels to kill a bear.)
With the ringing of the welcome bell announcing the end of fourth
period (which is Latin), the spirit of the game was in the air. After
going to our lockers, we walked (in case Mrs. Ross should read this)
down the stairs and gained admittance to the lunch line. Upon getting
our lunches, we ate, and dashed off to the gym to dress. Betsy White and
I were able to gain possession of our two lucky lockers which is our pet
superstition.. Surely we will win now with these in our possession!
A few minutes later found us gathering on the court. The hopes of
both teams were high as the referee blew her whistle. The ball was
thrown to 209’s server. It was a tense moment. Then the ball sailed
over the net. The important game was on! A point was scored. Then
another and another. Then our serve is lost. The serve goes to the
opposing team. The score is evened. The two teams are practically neck-
to-neck. 103 passes us. We can’t let them win! 'Then time out for the
half.'We formed a huddle and pointed out our weak points. We all took
our places and the game was resumed. The gym was gradually filling
by this time, and the shouting was increasing. 209 gained several points
which made the gym an uproar. We were tied again. The game was
nearing its end. 209 gained the lead by a few points and held on to
them. At last the bell rang. The resulting score was 35 to 28, with 209
the champion of the school. Our precious lockers had again proved their
luck!

What! Wolves in the gym? ? ?
Owwww! Startled by this long-
drawn-out wolf call, I turned trem
bling and pale, my finger nails
curling at this unearthly noise! It
couldn’t be wolves in the fragile
part of Junior High’s gym. I could
have well understood this unholy
sound if it had come from the
males’ part of the gym! Just Ron
nie Hooper or Jon Barnes reading
“Esquire’’! But in the girls’
classes? Oh, no!!! So picking up
my knocking teeth, I stepped quiet
ly through the gym door. There to
my utter astonishment I saw Mrs.
Doty’s dainty gym class seated on
the floor, simply drooling over the
boys’ wonderful show of masculine
ability and strength! Astonished
at not seeing a pack of hungry
wolves, but only dainty females
swooning with tongues hanging, I
stole another peek. So! This is why
the girls just LOVE to go to gym?
