for the second time.
Hope you all enjoyed yourselves
at the dance last Saturday. |
wasn't in town for it, consequently
it only by hearsay that | know
everyone had a good time. Next
Saturday mite there is going to be
a U. S. 0. dance sponsored by the
Greenbelt Women's Club. 1t is to
be held in Laurel. Any Greenbelt
girls wishing to attend must be
down at the Center at 7:30 P. M.
for transportation. Two hundred
soldiers will be there, so don't let
your Women's Club down, come
on and go!
At present, the date for the Jun
ior-Senior prom is set for the last
week in May, most likely May %.
Of course the prom has been one
of the main topics of discussion at
Junior and Senior class meetings.
1t wasn't until lately though, that
some definite action toward MAX
ing it a success was taken. The
junior class has organized and
committees for decoration and re-
freshment were chosen. These
committees have held severak-meet-
ings and have all prom plans we'll
in hand.
The much awaited Identification
tags finally arrived last Tuesday.
Just about everyone is marked
man, which is good thing in this
case. That is as long as we don't
have to make the same use of
these tags as those unfortunates
over in Europe.
Three Of the senior girls have
recently taken positions in the
Government as junior typists.
They are: Janet Neff, Mary Lowe,
and Helen Zoellner, who are in
the Navy Department. Lorraine
Mullen also expects to take a pos
ition, but in the Treasury De-
partment. These girls will, most
likely, graduate with their class,
the condition being that they pass
the prescribed exams. The school
lost to Chicago this week, Shirley
Gushing, one Of the best liked and
most industrious persons in their
midst.
Evidence that school isn't made
too serious these days was display
ed in one of Miss Nudo's favorite
classes 'tother day. 1t so happened
that this class was discussing life
insurance. When the class was
questioned about why rates vary
with the individual the quick re-
tort was, "Some men are larger
than others and need a larger
casket."
If you had been down around
school lately, here are some of
the things you would have been
unable to overlook: Just about
everyone spending their leisure
time by engaging in one of the
sports offered benin dthe school,
volleyball, horseshoes, badminton,
and others. One thing that occur
red around these courts was quite
blow to one of our young gentle
men. 1t seems Kenny Lyles and
Jimmy McLane were transporting
large sacks of lime over to the
courts on their heads. Kenny ar
rived safely but en- route for the
courts Jimmy's bag sprang a leak
and he was heard to say, "Oh, oh!
CVeI yCHlHg happens TO me. NOW
I'll have to wash my hair" You
would also have seen preparations
for the Senior Play in full pro-
gress. Scripts have been held and
members of the cast and other
committees have been decided
upon. The play, "Growing Pains
by Aurania Rouveral, is a three
act comedy of adolescent life. The
air of the director, Miss Violet
Younger, and all those connected
with this play is to excel, if pos
sible, the dramatic efforts in
"What A Life, held earlier this
year.
A representative from Towson
State Teachers College described
his school to the Seniors by means
