SENSE AND NONSENSE
By Jean Hall
Hello everybody! I guess this is
a good bye for this year—so hitch
your chairs closer and don’t miss
a single item of this senseless col
umn. Things are going to be
mighty lonesome this summer
without someone to keep tab on
the R. H. S. students.
With final exams rushing up,
Carlos and Betty It. find it neces
sary to do a lot of sudying (?)
to-gether. Although the subject
they seem the most interested in,
is ? ? ? ?
Wouldn't it seem queer if—
Madrie G. got to school on time—
Brandon and Betty B. weren’t to
gether. G. R. C. was seen combing
his hair. Miss Gore didn’t send
anyone to detention hall.
With the disappearance (????)
of the cold weather and the com
ing spring, we find Dan Cupid
at work. Of course he is kept
busy shooting arrows at such
couples as Herbert II. and Doro

THE UNITED STATES
(By Ruth Chambers Griffin)
The United States is fighting
Against several countries,
Especially the Germans and the
Japs.
If the yellow dogs don’t know
what they are doing,
They are sure to find
Themselves in some traps.
The United States is not afraid,
Because Victory is already won.
If I could get a good shot at Hitler
I’d kill him dead, the son of a gun.
I’ll not worry about this war at all,
Because the American flag will be
waving high,
And the enemy flag is sure to fall.
United States, you can’t lose,
You can’t lose for the ammunition
you use.
Hitler, Hitler, you can’t win,
You can’t win for the fix you are
in,
When this war has come to an end,
I’ll shout for joy and say,
I knew the United States had to
win
Because it had to be that way.
I’d never honor him enough to
say,
Heil Hitler, now, this is no lie,
I’d say, march on, American sol
diers,
Then, I’d be ready to die.
Come on, everybody, lend a hand;
Keep old Hitler under USA com
mand.
thy R., Guy B. and Margaret R.
Everyone will miss the seniors
next year especially Bonnie B.
It’s a shame R. M. isn’t a junior
too, isn’t it.
Does anyone know how “Romeo
and Juliet” (Albert and Roma)
are progressing? Still struggling
along, I guess, say, did he take
her to the junior-senior reception?
The twins are in a pickle, Mar
tha can’t decide between Junior
T. and Ray I. and Margaret’s nav
-ing thouble about deciding be
tween Curt R. and Fred A.
You’d never guess who Madrie
G. has hooked now! None other
than Leon L. Wonder if the “navy”
will approve of this?
Stop the presses!! The latest
romance is Festus W. and June
L. and what a beginning. Festus
got so excited when he saw June
coming, he fell down the steps.
What a way to preserve shoe
leather!
Question of the week, what does
Lee B. think of the beautiful
friendship between Mildred B.
and Harold O? Could this be the
beginning of a romance?
Charles Lee says his romance
with Lila G. may have been “Gone
With The Wind” at one time, but
it sure came back with the breeze.
P. S. (From the looks he isn’t
joshing either).
Well, everyone will soon be I
free to plant (?) their Victory
Garden or start enjoying *heir va
cation. Anyway the halls are go
ing to look mighty lonesome with
out all the couples strolling about.
Here’s wishing good luck to the
seniors and a happy summer to
all.
Boys and) girls of Transylvania County, your
graduation marks for you the dawn of a new
day. Your diploma is more than a sheet of
