MOMENTS TO REMEMBER
That twang is in the air and the
trees are putting on their new fall out
fits ,
The lasses are coming out with
their new cashmeres hoping to catch the
eye of a certain hero » If you ride
by the football field you can hea^ a
"keep-two*three—four” with several of
these heroes running two extra laps a-
round the field.
The frosh are slowly but surely
catching on to the routine and have
learned to laugh to Coache’s jokes and
not to deposit orange peels in his
"round file" the trafficostill goes
up the stairs the wrong way and the
lockers are the scene of the familiar
scramble the sophs have learned to
live like Eskimos in Mr. Bain's room
and girls have learned never, never
under any circumstances to go to the
lockers before his Algebra session.
The high and mighty are walking
around with "noses pointed toward the
sky" giving the jolly juniors that cer
tain treatment, (Everybody knows they
are really scared stiff wondering how
they finally made it.) —.
But while you ponder on these familiar
scenes, let your mind slip back for a
moment into its worn grove of freedom-
when the beaches were calling and the
jingle of the alarm clock could be
laughed at and just everybody had a nice
bronze tan ,
Ed Patterson, Jimmy George, and
George Paddison took off for unknown
parts and ended up in the big city
Phyllis Lee went down to t he pi].ace where
they sell those great suntans Ann
Booker and Betty McGowan worked them
selves to the bone at that "heaven on
earth" at Arapahoe Euthie Wellons
end Julie Hooks spent their annual
month at "their" beach Barbara Byrd,
Frances Johnson, Mary Joe Brown, Howard
Mallard and loads more had a great time
at their youth Assemblies Billy
Fuller, Macy Hoyle, and Jerry Highsmith
slaved away at Camp Tuscarora Jack
H'aylor roamed clear over across the con
tinent wh4l0 Roy Land took off toward
the north, above the Mason-Dixon Line,—
Virginia Britt, Darby Wood, and Sashie
Skinner scooted off to that "second best"
tobacco state Tommy Gardner, a na
tive of Carolina Beach, spent a few days
in Smithfield (just kidding. Tommy, guess
we're all jealous) Lena Rose Patter
son and Cinda Grantham went up to Thous
and Islands to see that famous ex-Red
Devil, Nell Rose vmllace, perform —
.Ann Batten, Mary Jo V/arr, and Jackie
Bridges claim they've made their second
million barning tobacco, while loads
more of these smart early-risers were
working on their third Peanut
Edwards and Bud Stallings journeyed
South to see Ronnie Jones who moved down
at the beginning of the summer -——
Mary Ogie Baugham might be seen singing
"Carry Me Back To Old Virginia" as she
made a visit up that way Seems
some of the Girl Scout Troops journeyed
to Carolina Beach, but I bet the resi
dents down there doubt that they were
Scouts (at least girl scouts.)
All these pleasant daydreams fade
into the background and the present is
brought back with a rush you
might see the cheer-leaders practicing
just any afternoon — , "Are you proud
of your school????" And you might
see Mr, Glenn picking up the remains of
recess after the mad rush of the tardy
bell
