better acquained when he start
ed going to her church. This “Lat
in Lovers” couple had its first

going steady December 1. 1955.
Miss X, a blonde, biue-eyed sen
ior standing 5 feet. 5 inches tall
hails from Central. She is vice-
president of the SDC’s and a
member of the WHIRLIGIG staff.
She also sings in the choir. In her
sophomore year she was in JCL.
Mr. X, a brown haired, “brown
eyed handsome man” stands 5
feet, 7 inches tall and comes to
Senior from Lindley. He was born
in Cuba and moved to Greens
boro in the ninth grade. He par
ticipated in the Torchlight Talent

GHS Key Club Packs

Po’ Soul Tries To Drive:
Cops Declare Emergency
GHS’s Key Club has been en
gaged in several projects lately.
I November 7 the boys met at the
I Christmas Seal headquarters in-
I stead of their usual Wednesday
dinner meeting. The boys spent
two hours packing T.B, seals to
be mailed out to Greensboro citi
zens. Jey Deifell has been in
charge of plans for a Key Club
scholarship. The Club decided to
set up a $300 fimd for this pur
pose. The qualifications will be

Robin Farr models the classic school-day outfit,
given an exciting air by the superbly matched
colors. The Heaven Mist sweater, with a look and
feel of cashmere, is an elegant blend of lambs wool
fur, and nylon ($10.95). The gracefully draped
skirt of soft Majella flannel echoes perfectly the
color of her cardigan ($10.95).
To give her outfit an extra perk, Robin wears
a three-quarter length sleeved blouse of silken
broadcloth by Majestic ($4.95). Besides the lush
aqua Robin wears, these colormates come in tan
gerine and cafe au lait. They are sold in ELLIS
STONE Sportswear, Fashion Floor.

lunch:
“H^y, Hildegarde!”
“Yea?”
“Guess what!”
“What, Gertie?”
‘‘Po’ Soul doesn’t date!”
“He doesn’t, really?”
“It’s a shame, but yoU know
why, don’t you?”
“No, why?”
“It’s obvious, Hildegarde. He
doesn’t have a car!”
“Wfell glory! Why not?”
“He doesn’t have a job, so he
hasn’t got any money.”
“How icky, Gertie. Imagine a
boy not getting a job so he could
buy a car so he could ask some
body, out. Why doesn’t he get a
job?”
“He doesn’t want one.”
“Well, of all the nerve. Why
doesn’t he want one?”
“He doesn’t want a car so why
should he get a job?”
“Whoa hoss—one more once. He
doesn’t war^ a CAR?!!”
“Ya, Hildegarde. He can’t drive.”
“How horrible! He oughta learn.
You know who bachelors are—
boys what didn’t have a c|ir in
high school.”

two innocents, Gertie and Hilde
garde, took pity on Po’ Soul and
determined that he should learn
to drive.
They weren’t hired by the Reds.
They didn’t plan to bring the
people of Greensboro to a violent
end. They didn’t plan to work
the highway cops overtime; how
ever, they have succeeded extra
ordinarily well in doing exactly
these things. They have put Po’
Soul on wheels.
The fact that he didn’t often
read library- books surprisingly
enough made it difficult for him'
to really get into his learner’s
book.
Over and Over and Over
To tell the truth, Po’ has start
ed the drivers’ manuel over so
many times he knows the intro
duction by heart. This fact was
equally important when Po' took
the exam for the learner’s permit
since he never did learn too much
about the middle and end of this
book because he couldn’t seem to
gain much ground, or mud, or
dirt (bad roads, you know) after
he passed said introduction.
Have you ever seen a lolly pop-
;. n’? It’s the same thing as see
ing Po’ Soul drivin’—legally. Po’s
actual drivers’ test was so pa
thetic it would have melted the
heart of a snowman (take that
either way you wish). Po’ failed
geometry so he didn’t do so hot
on parallel parking. He was so
nervous he sat on his monocle
and therefore flunked his eye
test.
Traffic Bothers Po'
When Po’ was learning to drive
(he used a do-it-yourself kit) he-
always practiced on little-used,
country roads. On this account he
got rather flustered when he had.
to drive in traffic. So much so-
and so noticeable was it that on
his way to the highway depart
ment to take his drivers’ exam
Po’ got a ticket for careless and
reckless (driving and for driving
without a license.
As anyone must realize, Po’
kinda passed with his colors all
furled, but Po’ will keep his chin
up (so he can see oyer the wheel)
•he won’t give up the ship (even
if they won’t let him drive a car)
—he'll show the world. Yes, Po’s
gonna show the world, and he
plans to start now by getting safe
ty glass put in his monocle.
