"Look at my ring! They're here! |
Mnie fits perfect! Oops! too big!
1 told that man" Yes, the senior
rings have finally arrived! They
are so pretty with the red ruby
and all the designs on the sides.
It was a glad day and yet sad
when the rings did come. You
I see, it meant the end of our last '
[year in school is just around the'
corner
The seniors are also busy select
ing the play they will present this
spring. We feel sure that their
play will be one of the best yet

be otherwise with Miss I.ena Dun
can our director?

j The ball games last week were
"Pretty good." Of course, Friday
night was a sad defeat. We did
I want to beat Pamlico girls so badly

looked pretty in their new uni
forms which you people helped us
