They have become quite popular, especially at lunch. I even saw Kathryn Kester and some other girls sitting on them during the rain the other day. Earl Godwin was one of the males present, so the girls aren’t the only ones who can think of crazy things to do. Football Smith, Willie Hewlett, and Dick Piner are frequent occupants of these benches during the day— how ’bout when the sun goes down, fellas?? This nice warm weather has brought forth many pretty flowers which can be found in the hair of almost any girl at school. Japoni cas or camillias seem to head the list. Jayne McAdams had on a beautiful pink cne the other day and Martha Holton always wears beauties! I’d like to say that all the other members of that French II class finally did bring in projects and most of them were excellent ex amples of hard work. Booklets on the social customs, maps of the provinces of France, and booklets on Paris were the ones done by most students. Although Percy has the honor of being the first one to complete his project, others are in now and everyone deserves credit for work well done. Another returned service man has entered the NHHS family. His name is Fred Dew, and already the girls are talking about him. I overheard a conversation about him at lunch the other day and from what they had to say, he’ll do all right. Lillian Evans was here for a few days and all of us were glad to have her back, but sorry she couldn’t stay longer. She attended NHHS until last fall when she moved to Raleigh. But she still comes back to visit Wilmington and we’re always glad to see her. Finkie Marlowe is seen with her most frequently. Boy! What a traffic-stopping pair!! Welcome home again to sailor Bill Lassister. I glimpsed him in the hall Monday and somehow had a feeling he was hurrying to meet Mary Ann Hamilton, so I didn’t Slop Ilim IU let irk.. Plan now to attend the Glee club presentation of “New Moon.” Remember what a scream Bobby Melton was last year in "Naughty Marietta?” Well, you should see him this year with his partner-in fun, Melrose Straughn. They sho’ are something. And then there’s vampish Marguerite Todd who tries her best to win Bobby be cause he’s so appealing, but Mel rose proves that it’s always the sweetest girl that wins out in the last. So be sweet, girls, and il you don’t have any success with these hard-hearted males — be vampish!!! A campaign against cheating is .being launched in the school anc although we aren’t the world’s worst for committing this crime all of us are far from being per feet. So, let’s give this move all o: our support and make our schoo the finest in the state—and the whole U. S. If you are wondering what bool you’ll make your next book repor on, just go to the city library and ask Mary Emma Humphrey tc help you. She’s the girl with the big broad smile and that intelligeni look that most of usr haven’t ac quired. She’ll be glad to help yor ’cause it wasn’t too long ago tha she was in high school, too, and she knows what we’re going through with. We’re sorry to hear that the Lunatic club at school has beet disbanded. I’m sure that there’re enough lunatics to keep it going but the present members decidee against it. So, it is now a thing o: the past. What will be next?? Whi not the All-Alone-and-Lonely clul for those of us who have to spenc the week-end nights at home witl a good book because the boys hac rather go down to the "Academy’ or have a stag party? It just isn’ fair, fellas. Come on and give th< girls a break! I won’t say anything about th« basketball games until the enc of the week. We’ve already played one with Raleigh and everyone knows the outcome. But be sure to attend the Wilson game this Friday night. We had a super crowd last week, and even if il didn’t help Durham, it really helped the Wildcats, so let’s all be there again and give out with the cheers that make our fellas victorious.
