Mrs. Johnson Sends Thanks
The campaign to secure money for the drap
eries for the Elementary School auditorium
has gone over the top. The Committee in
charge, of the P. T. A., would like to thank
everyone who has had a part in making this
possible; the boys and girls themselves, their
parents, the American Legion, the Rotary, and
Kiwanis Clubs, the Chapel Hill Weekly, and
numerous other friends of the school.
The order will be placed immediately and
the curtains will probably be installed by the
opening of school in September.
This will be of benefit to the high school as
well as to the Elementary school, until the
high school secures an auditorium of its own.
Mrs. Cecil Johnson,
Committee Chairman.

ADDED NOTES:
We were riding to Hillsboro the other day
and on the way were trying to explain to Man
ager Donny Carroll how to score baseball.
During the conversation Donny happened to
ask how you signify that a man has stolen a
base. “Well,” we replied, “you just write the
letters “SB” besides his name.” Replied an
other member of the party, “That’s not a very
nice thing to call a fellow just for stealing
a base.” ... We were out with our girl the
other night and during the evening the con
versation shifted to socks. “Are those bobby
socks you have on?” we asked coyly. “No,”
replied Bootsie, “these are the ones Joe gave
me.” . . . We wonder who Joe is? . . . On same
date our journey carried us in the course of
events to the Scuttlebutt. On our arrival
there, we found the place to be closed and
only by the use of our skeleton (the closet’s
full of them) key and our traveling sales
man’s personality were we able to gain en
trance. “Hey, Clem,” we asked on reaching
the inside, “what are you closed for? It’s
not ten o’clock yet.” “Well,” replied Clem,
“what’s the use of waiting until the last
minute?” . . . Latest M. F. Teague joke:
1st: “Why does everybody say Teague has
a Roman nose?”
2nd: “I guess because it’s roamin’ all over
the place.”
We see by last week’s paper (yes, we do
read it) that anotl^er columnist who writes
for this paper and whose stuff appears about
two pages back doesn’t like the fact that the
baseball team sticks up for itself when it
thinks it’s getting a raw deal. It seems that
said columnist believes the whole affair in
Hillsboro was rather silly. How does she
know? She wasn’t even there. The story she
heard about the game must have been like
most of the material in her column—second
hand. We think it would be wise in the fu
ture for such writers to check their informa
tion before making such statements. . .. Motto
of the Junior boys: If you got to go, Goehagen.
. . . According to the Chapel Hill Cham
ber of Commerce it never rains in Chapel
Hill. That wet stuff you see is mist. We’ll
never forget the week the mist washed away
three bridges. . . . And then there’s the fellow
who asked a resident of the town if the snow
in Chapel Hill was wet snow or dry snow.
Replied the resident, “I don’t know. I’ve
only lived here twenty years and I was sick
both days.” ... As far as we can see there’s
nothing wrong with Chapel Hill weather. You
just have to pump it out of your basement
now and then. . . . And speaking of weather,
we were up in the grammar school the other
day when one of the teachers asked a little
boy to spell the word “weather.” Well, the
little boy tried his best, but the result was
by a long shot wrong. As soon as he was
finished the teacher paused for a moment and
then remarked, “You know, Johnny, I’ve been
teaching school for twenty years, but I think
that’s the worst spell of weather I’ve ever
seen.” . . . We don’t know whether or to be
lieve that. . . .
This is station KYHE bringing you news
and views of personalities around Chapel
Hill.
Cupid still has us guessing who took Faye
Jones to White Lake last weekend?
Another quite complicated matter is the
affair of Hilda, John, Blake and Earl. First,
she (meaning Hilda of course) going with
Blake. “No,” says John, “with me.” But it
finally ends up with Earl being the lucky guy.
Ho Hum will she ever make up her mind.
Since when can Senior boys (B.C.) date
Freshmen girls (M.C.) ? Draw your own
conclusions.
Mr. Frank Pittman says he’s quit Dot Ho
gan, but we think not. Frank is not a man
about town except when he is around Dot.
Smitty Lineburger is a very handsome boy
according to reports received from certain
Freshman and Sophomore girls. Since Mr.
Lineburger has come up in the athletic world
women have flocked to see him. Personally,
we still thinks he likes Nancy Cobb!
The other day your announcer received a
wire from Mr. Houston Teague. In this wire
were these historic words, and I quote, “I
love them all.”
The Freshman girls certainly do get around
a lot.
We wondered why Elizabeth M. made so
many trips to the candy counter at the Caro
lina Sunday night. The reason!???
Joyce Boone certainly goes to visit her
aunt in Durham quite a bit. Joyce, who is this
boy named “Buck” Roberts?
Bill Lindsay really had fun explaining
Army tactics to Nancy Bailey Sunday night.
Bill, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try,
again.
Colleen Hackney broke up with Harry Phil
lips. Wonder why she is trying to win him
back now?
Tom Lane has established a beachhead on
Hamilton Island and the situation is well in
hand!
A certain freshman girl wants more people
for the Junior class to join the choir—pref
erably boys. Could this be because of Houston
Teague—? Could be.
