SMITHFIELD HIGH TIMES
ROVING REPORTER
Well, the month of mingled
smiles and tears has rolled around
with its usual jolt. The seniors
are looking back on their last four
years with many lingering glances.
As I strolled down the hall and
queried the "high and mighty" on
the thing they will miss most in
S, H, S, I received many varied answers.
Sally Ann - Everybody* s smiling face 1
Wayne H. - Standing in the hall,
* watching all the girls go byi
Norman U. - Sleeping in 5th period
History |
Harry W. - Fighting my way through the
hall I
Pessie Belle - Monday morning blues i
Ann Smith - Chemistry and Benton I
Nancy Pitchi - Mrs. Glenn*s "good
mornings I"
Kyrna B. - Miss Mullers discussion
tests I
Betsy R^ - Third period library I
Boris - Cheerleading I
Jimmy L. - Killing flies in Miss
■ Muller*s class.
Barbara P, - Trying to beat the Glee
*" Club girls to lunch,
Shelton - Girls |
Hope H, - Trying to get in and out
of the locker I
Yes, these were some of the
answers. I*m sure that all our
Seniors have something that only they
will miss. They all jokingly remark
that they will miss nothing, biib down
deep vre all know this is only a "front

JOHN BORBEN TAYLOR *S
FARErtTEXJb ADDRESS
0, Goshl Will that bell'never
I’ing? "What time is it? Gosh, I
know it*s later than that. Your
'^atch must be wrong."
Only six more days *til
graduation i When I think of it—
1 smile. Soon 1*11 be out.
Twelve long years of S:30 tardy
bells. Day after day, week after
week, winter after winter—I come,
sit, and leave—And for what? A
roll of "cheap" skin with my full
name on it—"This is to certify that
Jack Taylor has attended school for
twelve years , "
I laugh—bitter and sarcastic.
If she says one more word, 1
think 1*11 go nuts I Won*t we ever
get out of here?
There*s Edward, biting his
finger nails again. Nancy’Poole
"sneak"^ studying History, I*m glad
our test isn*t today, Jimmy Lee*s
whispering the details of last night
to Rey and Harry, Ronaldo's asleep,
He*s got the right idea. Well, at
least Norma*s paying attention.
Wonder what the rest are doing?
Danny and Margie will be reading the
newspaper together in library- humph |
Danny said'he was going to find a job
for Margie,' Billy Ray is telling jokes
to somebody, probably Beth. I like
the way she tosses her head back
when she laughs. Sue and Barbara will
be debating something - anything.
Wonder which will be valedictorian?
Probably tie and Bobby will get it,
Charlie will be drawing a cartoon-
or j\ist laughing. So will Emma, I
bet Frank has his glasses on—and
Shelton doesn*t.
Six more days and we*11 all be
through, **Each to go his separate
way," Doubt if 1*11 ever see half of
of them again. Another couple of years
and 1*11 never see a^jr of them except
maybe once or twice. Makes me regret
graduation.
And all the open houses, school
dances, classes and sitting up at
Jack*s when I don*t have a date,
shooting the bull with the other
’•Saturday night bachelors," Six more
days and I can never be a part of them
again—never be accepted as one of the
Wcrowd" again—from then on 3L*11 be an
outsider—in my own town.
That scares me. In a way I wish
graduation would never come.
