You know, wp live a dangerous
life; just think; everytime you flirt
with a married gal you take a
chance of the husband blowing the
lop of your head right off. Every
time you flirt with a single glamour
gal you are flirting with jail, the
Mann Act, breach of promise, etc.
Every time you make out your
income tax there's Alcatraz staring
you in the face. Every time you
drive your bucket of bolts you
break a half-dozen laws before you
get two blocks.
Every time you take a drink of
water there's sclerosis of the liver
looking over your shoulder. Every
time you smoke a cigarette, well,
there's lung cancer. So. you hurry
through life trying to do the right

spent that money, so, we decided

right now? OK.
So Penny opened a few cans and
we ate at home, total cost of the

much of a meal), so then it was

Delegation
(Continued from Page 1)
enters into the picture because of
lad week's supreme court tecision
which declared the Currituck dog
track illegal. If Morehead's is de
clared illegal, the town won't get
its annual handout).
"U the dogs don't run," the
mayor declared, "two men can do
all the paving thai ever is going
to be done ia Morehcad City in the
future." ?
A member of the delegation, W.
J. Smith Jr . aaked about the pos
sibility of getting help through
tlw state iMwell street funds. The
mayor said that the Powell money
is only for maintenance and the
dirt streets in the "back part" of
town eat up all the maintenance
funds.
'Spent Underground'
When Mr. Cordova remarked
that all the race track money cer
tainly doesn't go for paving, the
mayor replied that most of it is
"spent underground" for tiling,
ditching and other drainage oper
ations. "All that work is done
and then covered up and people
never see it so they don't think
we're doing anything," he added.
Before the men left , George
McNeill, town attorney, showed
them a map of the proposed west
end of Arendell street. The mayor
added that if he were living in
their section and raising children,
he wouldn't want streets hard-sur
faced because after Arendell street
becomes highway 70 all the way to
the outskirts of town, cars will
whiz through the Noyes avenue
and Taylor avenue section to get
from one highway to the other.
Mr. Cordova said the ditch be
tween Noyes avenue and the Camp
Glenn school should be cleaned out.
He says it's clogged and overgrown
and at one time last summer a sep
tic tank was draining into it. He
said it would create a serious
health problem if it is not taken
care of.
The homeowners asked if the
paving of Arendell would cause wa
ter to back up on their property.
Mr. Smith commented that a state
highway engineer told him that
any drainage problems created by
putting through the highway would
be taken care of by the state.
After the delegation left, Wil
liam Yeager, a resident east of
Bonner ^venue in the ?%w section
of town, asked the board if he
could get water in his home. The
board discussed water facilities in
the area and directed the clerk to
ask Mr. Stovall whether a water
line can be run into the section in
which Mr. Yeager lives.

All through our school years we
leased' with good leathers
and always got along real wall with
all of them. There must have been
at least two or three dozen of them,
first and laat. and in the whole lot
we sever had what touki be termed
a "second-rate one."
Now !ookins back through the
years three of the teachers stand
out in bold relief compared to the
other men and women teachers ?
two of the three being "home
grown, " while one came from Vir
ginia. Two still teach in Beaulort
High School, and are now engaged
in teaching the second generation
of this family. - We had Miss Gladys
Chadwick in Math and Latin, and
Miss Lena Duncan in Latin and
History, while Miss Lucille M. Pond
(now Mrs. L. C. Mumford, of W?ke
field, Va.) taught us English all
through high achool.
It is impossible to say which of
the three teachers taught us the
most. Each one contributed her
part in making our high ? school
days both pleasant and profitable.
We are just one of many hundreds
that have been taught by these
three teachers, and they have left
their "mark" on all of us.
Mia6 Chadwick was our home
room teacher one year, and each
morning she would write a quota
tion or a stanza from some 'well
known poem on a small black
board ? written in her own indi
vidual back-hand print, each letter
clearly etched. Many of the quo
tations, etc., that we have in our
scrapbook were copied from Miss
Chadwick's blackboard. It was Miss
Chadwick that taught us words,
their meaning and relationship in
our Latin Class.
We had history under Miss Dun
can for three years, an I never
knew her to give more than three
questions on any examination ?
with from ten to twenty-five sub
heads under each question. On one
occasion Miss Duncan was giving
out spelling orally and noticed that
we were preoccupied with the girl
in the seat just in front of us. So
Miss Duncan said: "Spell sugar . . .
James." We were so flustered that
we spelled it "s-u-G-G-a-r." No
wonder everyone roared!)
It was Miss Pond that taught us
English, Literature and ? writing.
|t was she that encouraged us in
our theme writing and later in our
news papering ? both on the high
school paper, "The Mainsail"
(which we named) and in our work
on the old Beaufort News. Miss
Pond had great things planned for
us? we may have let her down a
bit. but we hope that she is not too
disappointed in us.
Looking back over the school
years there is only one thing that
we would like to change if we
could go back over them. Due to
the fact that we attended St. Paul's
School first and tranaferred to the
Beaufort Graded School when we
were promoted to the fifth grade,
we missed the opportunity of being
in Miss Lessie Arrington's noted
Fourth Grade. We have heard so
many of Miss Lesaie's pupils speak
so fondly of her Fourth Grade that
we feel that we have really missed
something. We had Miss Jeannette
Castlering, of Dover. Delaware, for
our St. Paul's School Fourth Grade
teacher ? and she was O.K. ? but ?
when others in our age group start
talking about the Good Old Days
when they were in Miss Lesaie's
Fourth Grade, we juat have to ke^p
quiet ... we weren't there.
For sentimental reasons we want
ed Wayne to be in Miss Lesaie's
Fpurth Grade ? but he drew Mrs.
Myrtle Davis, of Davis, and loved
her immensely, and still speaks
fondly of her. Now we have only
one more chance to "make" Miss
Lassie's Fourth Grade. Jonathan
will he In the fourth grade next
fall and It is our hope that he will
be in Miaa Lesaie's Fourth Grade.
If he doesnt we are sure he will
get along fine with one of the other
fourth grade teachers ... as he
has with his other teachers in the
paat. But this is our last chance
to attend Mlas Lessle's Fourth
Grade, even by proxy, and as her
former pupils will bear us ottt, Miss
Lessle's Fourth Grade ia an almost
legendary Institution in itseH.
