■*T
large flag \V»s behind tlid speak
! ers table.
. The program began* yVith a Song
by the junior class and :? speech
“The General Salutes” by the
; toast master, Bobby Lee Rice. The
juniors then sang “We’re Here
For Fun’ and the seniors sang
“Were Glad.’
• The food was served by five
girls of the second year home
! economics class. Thefce included
Wanda Galloway, Lucy Trnsley,
Reba Petit. Faye Green antf Ruby
Moore.
“Citation'1 , for Gallantry” by
Madrie Gallcft^ay and “Buck Pri

■ “Smiles” were sung by all. The
class history was given by Franc
! es Gillespie and the class prophecy
by Ola McCall. Pat Summey read

sang their class song. “Who’s Who'
in Junior-Senior Classes” was?
read by Betty Rogers and Curtis
Reid.
Brandon Summey gave gifts of
remembrance to all the seniors.
As a closing speech Mr. Tilson
gave a talk on “Soldiers All.”
The reception was very enjoy
able and there were approximate
ly 60 persons present.
SENSE AND NONSENSE
Well, it won’t be long before
you’ll be hearing something else
besides this nonsense stuff so our
advice is, you’d better listen while
the listening is good.
f wonder how Cornelia G. ac
quired the name of “Geometry
Gillespie”? Strange thing that
students get geometry class and
study hall mixed up.
Well, Frances G. seems to have
spotted a new seat on the bus. It
is nice to sit by Junior T., isn’t
it?
The popular sport of the day is
playing ball on the front lawn.
That is if there’s room after Bet
ty R. and Carlos C. start playing.
Chlora K. must have had some
reason for wanting to report on
“David Copperfield.” Maybe the
first name reminds her of another
David.
Sally WT. seems to enjoy writing
to a certain soldier. Don’t forget,
Sally, Donna Ruth wants his ad
dress.
The “twins” certainly enjoyed
the junior-senior reception. Any
way, first look who their escorts
were;
It’s too bad that a certain senior
girl doesn’t know who “Licensed
Lonnie” is. Well, time will tell.
Will wonders never cease?
Charles Lee just can’t make up
his‘ mind in regard to1 the “girl
problem.” First it’s one* and then
the other!!
STILL IS DESTROYED
Federal officers of the alcohol
tax unit of Asheville captured a
still in the Boylston section a few
days ago. The 50-gallon outfit had
been in operation for some time,
officers said, but no one was near
the still when it was seized. Six
barrels off beer were- also de
stroyed.
SINIARD THINKS
WAR WILL LAST
TWO MORE YEARS
Brevard Man Has Seen Good
Deal Of Action On A
U. S. Battleship
“In my opinion, this war will
not be over for another two years
at least,” was the statement made
to a Times representative yester
day by Gaston Siniard, chief ship
fitter on a U. S. naval ship, who
is here on a 10-day furlough with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hale
Siniard. Mrs. Siniard is also visit
ing here with her husband.
Chief Siniard, who has been in
the service of the U. S. navy for
14 years, displayed unusual mod
esty when questioned as to the
meaning of the two bars of va
ried colors worn on his coat and
the gold star on each bar. Fur
ther inquiry brought out the in
formation that one gold star was
for his major engagement at Gua
dalcanal, and the other star for
service before Pearl Harbor. He
has been in the service in the
I Southwest Pacific the past five
I months, and has been on duty in
both the Pacific and European
theatres of war, with tremendous
I action encountered in both war
ring zones. Only a few details of
his thrilling experiences could
be obtained from Chief Siniard al
this interview, which was ended
j only by promises from him to givt
| more information for publicatior
| at another time during his visit
here. He has been on one of Un
cle Sam’s major battleships.
Keen delight was expressed b;
Chief Siniard upon being back
among homefolks again, and he
thinks Brevard * iooks attractive
and peaceful after all the horrors
of war he has experienced. He
expects to get a promotion to a
higher rank within a few weeks.
Mrs. Siniard expects to return to
the Pacific coast with her husband
when he has to report back for
duty the last of this month.
