I Son ? Of A I Gun ^ by Joe Lanier ^ The high school class I graduated with is planning a class reunion in July. It was one of the last classes to graduate from Magnolia High School. There was not a whole bunch of us ? just 16, and 22 of the 16 were females, and I was married. I had, four years earlier, decided I needed to help John Wayne and the Navy in Korea, so I quit school and went off to see the world. As it happened. I was in Florida when I joined the Navy. They put me on a train in Tampa (my first train ride) and sent me to California by way of Chicago and Kansas City. . .Once in California, it became evident a high school diploma was needed. All the jobs paid the sam^ S96.5Q a month, but those with more education got the easy jobs. . .Me with only a 9th grade education, and knowing nothing of value to the Navy. . .After all. knowing how to crop tobacco or to plow with a mule has very little use on a ship out iq the ocean. . .So, I was assigned to the boiler gang. . .In the Navy, if you want to change jobs you "strike" for the other job. . .That does not mean you quit working. . .It just means you let those in charge know you want such and such a job. So I struck for electrician. . .Knowing about boilers in a farming community has about as much use as knowing about farming on a ship. However, electricians are useful in either place. . .The chief said. . .Lanier, so you want to make light bulbs light up. huh?. . .Yes sir. I replied. . .Well, said he. all the electricity on this ship originates down in the boiler room and that is going to be your job on this ship ? making electricity in the boiler room. . .It was there and then I decided to improve my education if ever the chance arose again. . .Thus, when I was discharged from the Navy, the first thing I did was get married. . .The second was to go back to school. . .In school in those days, which was not too long ago. the senior class put on a play. . .So did we in Magnolia. I was, of course, the handsome debonair male who ended up with the very lovely female of the play. . .1 think the name of the play was "Debra Lee" or something like that. . .In any case, at the end of the play I was to kiss the girl as she and I, in the play, were to end up married. . .About the only place a kiss was allowed in a schoolhouse then would have been on a stage, and it being part of a play. . .However, that was not even allowed for me. . .1 was a married man. . .So. we decided to make a sign on a large postcrboard and hold it in front of me and Patsy Brown, who was to be the bride. . .On the poster board was printed "Here comes the bride.". . .Now this worked fine to Patsy and me. . .We just stood close together and she lifted her right leg like Doris Day did when she kissed someone. . .Patsy and I and everyone else on stage knew we were just standing close together. . .However, the audience had the illusion we were kissing. . .And my wife was in the audience. . .Donna may be little, but she is loud. . .1 think it was good the make-believe kissing was the last thing to happen before the curtain closed. . . . ***** I understand some fellows in Kenansville have been on a diet. . .1 am told there were four of them and they were all slightly hefty. . .Between them, during their diet, they lost enough weight to make another man. . .217 pounds. . .Of course I am also told that one of the dieters was weighing with weights in his pocket, and the scale was only showing he was losing five pounds or so along. . .They had a bet on who would lose the most. . .The last day. the one with the weights in his pocket had suddenly lost 72 pounds. . . ***** ,, I was talking to Fayette Batts the other night. . .1 thought he had always worked at Quinn Wholesale, but not so. . .In his younger days, he was a tinsmith, so to speak. . .He made tobacco barn flues. . .There is a profession to bring back memories in the older folks and make the younger ones wonder what the heck is tobacco barn flues. . .Son-of-a-Gun. . . ^ News From DCC At Duplin Country Club, we're still making changes. We've just purchased eleven reconditioned electric carts that look and run like new. That gives us a fleet of 25 operational carts, so if you haven't played because of carts, you need to come out and try our new ones. We've cleaned up nearly all the roughs this winter, especially holes five through thirteen. There's a "clean-up Day" scheduled for Saturday morning. March 7, in an effort to finish cleaning up all the small brush and trash. Members who can help are asked to sign up at the Pro Shop. We're having ham burger cook-out at the Club House afterwards. Our social committee has a big weekend scheduled for the ACC tournament with a wide-screen TV at the Club House for the two semi-final games on Friday and the * finals on Saturday. There will also be card games and refreshments for members and their guests. Don't for get to start practicing for the Member Member that's planned for April 4th and 5th.
