One day the seventh-grade

"Oh, yeah," said one bright boy,
"He's the guy who writes all those

My, what a hectic schedule
banquet here and there, play,
graduation practice and all those
closing out events for the school
year nd then Joe Penland
comes by to bid us farewell and
threatens t beat us if we don't
write each week! But here goes,
for what it's worth.
The 4-iH Dress and Apron Re
vue was nice Friday night. The
girls had worked hard to make
their dresses and aprons and we
doting pairents were there to see
them model them. Congratula
tions to the winners, Miss Madge
Guffey, Mrs. Tom Wallin, Mrs.
Aaron Scronce and Mrs. Howard
Riddle, judges, and all responsible
for the vent.
Then on to the Junior-Senior
Banquet and Prom Saturday night.
We were taken up in stream-lined
busses, fed a delightful meal, a
cute program, and then dancing
to the music of the Demonz! My
usual crowd of charming boys did
a courtesy dance with their oW
teacher and I drug back to my
chair each time thinking my old
legs would never make it! Mrs.
Sprinkle, Mrs. Anderson, and mem
bers of the junior class, it was a
bushel of fun!
Say, guess we'd better all at
tend the Lions Club and other
sponsoring agencies diabetic clinic
this Sunday. Maybe that is what
my trouble is. Every time I think
I've found what makes me so
weak and run down, some smart
alee comes up with the supposition
that I just eat too much! If they
could taste one of my peanut
butter sandwiches. . .
We had a lovely time on our
senior class trip Monday. We went
to Gatlingburg. And if you think
there isn't anything there ex
cept lots and lots of gift shops
you are right. We walked the
whole distance of that place and
I thought I would never make it.
Miss Maxine walks like she's go
ing "to a fire, and 'Mrs. Sefiwuchow
wanted to eat too often! Oh, by
the way, guess where her husband
is teaching next year? LBJ's
old alma mater! Some class, eh?
I must put them on my visiting
list for the following summer so
I can see how LBJ makes out when
he returns there to teach!
Boy, has I'op got the nerve to
talk about anyone being long
winded! Here he writes a three
column Heard and Seen and then
has the audacity to make such a
slur at poor little me! Heavens,
if I didn't write this mess, he'd
lose half of his subscribers! Well,
at least three there's Pearl,
Agnes, and us, at least!
OBSERVED Be sure you
come to the play tonight; that is,
THURSDAY, May 16! Miss Jess
ie May Ramsey and the cast have
worked like beavers and I'm sure
will give us another exciting e
vent Heard Jerry say that
Luther Worley got in home from
service the other morning, glad to
have you back, Luthtr Also
heard the other day thrt Luther
Ball had got married. Congratula
tions, Luther Hope she'i! make
you behave Hope to make it to
the Marshall-Walnut Alumni Ban
quet Saturday night, that 1957
was a big year for both Walnut
and Marshall You remember
how Bernard told me about the
apples growing on orange trees
if Walnut ever beat Marshall, and
we did but we are mature e
nough to laugh about it and now
enjoy each other's friendship.

us graciously and taught us many
things. We leave you with a
deep sense of unfinished business
and half-formed friendships. How

that the business which calls us
is more unfinished than that
which we leave."

is one of the smaller, strategic
agencies of the Southern Baptist
Convention with only four ad
ministrative staff member. The
Commission seeks to lead eleven
million Southern Baptists to a
deeper involvement in Christian
living as it relates to the crucial,
social problems of our day. This
means dealing with race, gam
bling, alcoholism, peace, poverty,
citizenship and family life."
"As Director of Program De
velopment, I will be responsible
tfor channeling the Commission's
emphasis on Christian social
ethics through other Southern
Baptist Programs, organizations

opportunities to speak and be a
part of workshops and other in
formal groups in churches, on
college and seminary campuses,
and in various meetings and con
ventions", Dr. West said.
