We. I. U.
We’re sitting here in skirts and sweaters praying for cold weather, not
only for winter clothes but to cool off some of these hot romances. (It’s better
for spooning, too.)
* * * *
Wonder what “Tenny” will do when winter comes around? Will she
wear her sweaters strapless?
« * * *
Have you seen that red head from Greensboro?? Her name from what
we’ve been able to gather is Barbara. We can’t tear her away from Bill
Palmer long enough to find out anymore!!
* * ♦ *
You remember A. J. Hunt, we know; well, she may be gone but her
sister stepped in (Betty Claire) and with her you’ll find Jackie Shaw.
* * * *
Have you noticed how “Sunny” Barbara Ritchie is?? Well, that good-
looking Timberlake boy with the little yellow car is the reason!!!
* * * *
High School just wouldn’t be high school without a triangle of loves.
Namely Peggy, Pete and Cook. (Frankly, we think “Petunia” still blooms
with Cook.)
* « « »
Honestly, “Bensy” just keeps us in circles. We think he’s keeping “Goo-
Ball” in one, too. You never can tell about him, though; this might be
serious!!!
* m i *
We hope that the rest of these dignified Seniors will forgive us for not
mentioning them before now, but we just plumb forgot!! Raker and Mary
Anne are still hitting it off, and Martha is still trying to keep up with the
“Bull” (you stick in there); Zacky and Jane (pardon the Jr.) still have that
love-sick look!!
» « « ♦
It surely won’t seem right without the last year’s Seniors; next time you
happen to pass Jane Gordon or Mike just notice those lost looks on their
pretty little faces!!
* * * *
Now for the Koontz family! Naturally “Tubba” is still on Joanne’s
doorstep, but recently he has had difficulties reaching the doorstep!!! Now
Carolyn and the Handsome Carter (A1 Jolson the 2nd) are occupying the
swing!!
* • * *
Let us tell you the long and short of it!! None other than Hal Crotts
and Barbara DeLapp! What a pair!!!
41 * ♦ «
Some more of those Seniors are Martha Cox and Isabel Essick! Both
are “A” students and still have time for romancing with Harold Soloman and
Arvel Frazier respectively!!
« 4t * *
We don’t have to tell who Jimmy is; everyone is well acquainted with the
new chief cheerleader who was responsible for that super pep rally!!! His
love life happens still to be Martha Hooper!!!
4c « « *
Speaking of Hoopers, we forgot to mention how lost Bill is without Sue!!
* * * *
Another one of these summer romances is Kitty Philpott and Johnny
Bivlng. The object that seems to weigh her down is his class ring!!!
>(«**
The rumor about Ruth’s engagement wasn’t true, but we think it will be
when she graduates! You know the lucky “feller’’ of course! Leon Hedrick!!
Who else?!!?
» » ♦ »
Twice a week Lopp!! We mean by that, Mary Nell Lopp has a date every
Tuesday and Sunday with a cute boy from ^T-ville!!!
* * * *
And last but not least, we have the “little green freshmen” (a little
greener than our freshmen of ’47!!)!! First we have Barbara Smith, the first
Smith of that family but not by any means the last (there are three more)
and Conr.ad Stamey (We hope he’ll appreciate this and remember that we
love barbecue.)
4 * * «
Next comes “Kirksey” Sink and that good looking Jack Binns!!!!
* 4> » «.
Also there’s Jackie’s sister, Molly Evans, who is of interest to Gary
Everhart as well as to us!!!
* * * *
Now comes the last of the Hoopers, Hayden, with the future May Queen
of ’52, Janice Johnson!
4> « * «
These sisters and brothers are getting us down but def. We come now to
Ruth Jenkins’ sister, Joan, who is starting her high school days with a
bang, better known as Tommy Ribelin!!!
4> * * «
We’re just compelled to stop, but for once we’re still running over with
hot information for next month, so see ya then!!!!!

Let’s see, Mary Nell Lopp and Agnes

race over Hugh.
Could you find a better match than
Jane S. and Zacky?
Jimmy Poston, why don’t you settle
down to one girl? You surely have
a lot of the girls’ hearts a-flutter.
Come on. Woody; why don’t you

New School
Store Now Open
The niew dchool store has been
opened in room 200, and Mr. Leonard,
student oouncil advisor, and Bobby
Hendricks, president of the student
body, have worked hard to secure a
convenient and adequite place for the
store, and it has been greatly im
proved. It will be open before school,
between the second and third periods,
at lunch, and after school.
A coca-cola machine has been in
stalled for the convenience of the stu
dents. Candy, pencils, notebook pa
per, typing paper, and other articles
are also sold at the store.
Carolyn Swing, storekeeper, and
Mary Dean Hedrick, assistant store
keeper, have already proved them
selves very efficient. The student
council has asked that the students
co-operate with them and help make
this the best school store yet. It is
run for the convenience of the stu
dent body, and the proceeds will also
be used for the benefit of the school.
