The regular Saturday night square dance sponsored by Rose mary Recreation Club will go on as usual this week, beginning promptly at 8 p. m. this Saturday night and ending promptly at mid night. Music will be furnished by the Carolina HillBillies. Admission is only twenty-five cents to both women and men. Spectators are charged the same. The dance is sponsored by Mrs. Eugene Blowe and Mrs. Grady King. More and more people including many high school students are attending the dances each week end. They have proved to be the most popular means of entertainment in the city. Probably the happiest three men in town last Saturday were Ned Manning, former N. C. State ath lete, Doc Weathers of Wake For est, whose son, Harry, is Captain of the local Yellow Jax, and Vir gil McDowell, Georgia Tech. grad. The reason my friends! State Col lege walloped Carolina — Wake Forest handed it out to Clemson and how — and Georgia Tech, much to the disappointment of “Shag” Thorne and Heath Lee cracked dear old Duke. Such is life! Teacher Saccharine-sweet to Junior’s folks, She only smiles at primmest jokes, She’s wholesome as a soul could wish, I’ll bet she drinks just like a fish. Rusty Roanoke RaDids Hieh School Yellow Jax will clash with Scot land Neck Highs here on Friday night at Ledgerwood Park. The contest will start promptly at 8 p. m. under the flood lights. Des pite the fact that the Jax have dropped every contest but one and that was the 7-7 tie to Littleton, I’ll still stick along with the boys. I was talking with a group of them over at the Recreation club last Saturday night. I told them the following: “Drop all of your games except the one with Wel don High, but listen pals, if you drop that one, don't go down to the locker to dress, just keep on going. The spirit of Dick Brown, Husky Johnson, Lester "Torchy" Edmondson, Flip Edmondson, Troy Godman, Wilton Brown, Butler Brown, Fleet Sullivan, Chet Alls brook, Snooks Matthews, and hun dreds of others will rise up and haunt you to the end of your na tural days.” After taking a walk around the sidelines at a Yellow Jacket foot ball contest I swear I don’t know what to think — there are more boys on the sidelines not trying to play football, than there are on the squad —I mean real huskies, still in Senior or Junior High — weighing around one hundred and fifty — or sixty or seventy pounds — but most of them with a gal by the hand — and with a “Zoot Suit” on, and above all an Errol Flynn haircut. Well! Maybe it’s a bit out of order, but if I was on the present Varsity Squad — If I couldn’t have the local High School Band out for a between halves setto — I’d get coach Brick elmeyer to prevail on these “Juke joint” hounds to have a red hot game of “drop the handkerchief” during the regular intermission. Quick, Alice, my smelling salts — _ ±_....... T. t-- - ..X, « liked to hear them grunt on a line smash. Dear! Dear! Dopey Dan still with a bad case of the jitters after seeing Mr. Faircloth make a monkey out of Carolina with Doc Newton’s age old “Here it is, here it ain’t sneak play — Says Listen my brothers of the Football guild, I can’t take but so much — so here ’tis, North Carolina over Davidson. Georgia over Florida, Duke over Maryland, N. C. State over Miami, Wake Forest over V. M. I., if Mr. Mu ha still has a bad ankle, Virginia over W. & L., and Brother pass the sauce, Coach Brick will faint, Roanoke Rapids over Scotland Neck — I ain’t got the heart to add any more.” Pickups ’n Putouts — Just got a letter from >Genial George Gurley — He’s still at Keesler Field, Miss . . and going strong with his basic training . . best joke of the war . . the guy who brags about helping Uncle Sam by buying War Bonds . .
