"The Spotlight"
BY Jack and Al


vertisements we found this poem
and we thought our readers might
like it:
There'll always be an England
And the same for u. S. A.
There'll always be a Peace on Earth
If we have the American Way.
Our country, keep her in the right,
But right or wrong we love her
And while we have the might to
fight
No flag but ours above her.
Now for the news:
The Smyrna Eagles took num-
bers seven and eight by defeating
Middletown (33-19) and Dover
(38-35). The Eaglets surprised
everyone and won two games also.
Keep it up boys!
From all reports our friend How
ard Green, known as al Green and
his Cadets, is making a big hit
with the folks at the Lilly Ponds. I"
Good luck Al!
Classes in school must have been
very boring especially when such
an ambitious boy as Manfred
(Beano) Ennis finds time to snooze.
Quoted brom the Middletown
Transcript, what Middletown bas-
ketball star has a fan club in
Smyrna 2" Davidson looks gilty!
With great pleasure, for the bene-
fit of Sunshine" Moore, we give
you an individual box score of the
Middletown game:
R. Moore Points
Rusty" was very disappointed
when his name didn't appear in
print, as he led the ]. VS. in scor-
ing honors for the first time in his
basketball career.
Smyrna lost 8 very charming
young ladies when Adeline Hilyard
Betty Phillips and Dot Badur left
to become nurses. We hope they
have lots of luck!
Richard Hopkins and Helen
Pleasanton have been seen stepping
out quite often in the past week.
Women are. so changeable. How
about it Clarence
From the way Callie Diacumakos
devoted so much time to the sold
iers at the Presidents Birthday
Ball, it would lead one to think
that she has forgotten about her
true love from Washington College
who used to take her for long
strolls down the railroad tracks.
The Dover band-wagon started
rolling again as the foursome of
Bob Lower, Jeanne Clements, Jack
Wilson and Nancy Lewis went
roaming Sunday mite.
Harold Hopkins, Jean Truax, Kit
Carson and Audrey Westfall were
seen "galavanting" around the
countryside Sunday mite.
The Phys. Ed. teachers Wilson
and Doerr have started ping-pong
tournament among the students of
]. B. M. The winners of the first
round will be in your Spotlight"
next week.
Seen at the Dover game:
Ralph Knots and Olive Reed
were in rather close quarters
watching the game. Must have
been the crowd.
Wa Wa was seen in the company
of Miss Mary Hyatt. We wonder
ed why he couldn't keep score. Has
the butcher" turned '1over?"
Cheerleader Sydell was seen
making eyes at the referee. She
and Sunshine" offered to turn off
the lights in the Dover gym. Dark
wasn't it?
Jack Wilson, Nancy Lewis, Hen
ry Dukes and Jeanne Clements
were seen enjoying the game.
"Dicky' Hopkins and Golden
boy" Hufschmidt were seen alone
Maybe ''Goldenboy" didn't want to
meet Ruth's mother!
Butch" Robinson collecting his
bet from Doris.
Mrs. Ewing, the school librarian,
and Florence Passwaters seem to
be the only ones who don't appre,
ciate Hoppy's compliments"
"Ronnie" Grier and Booty" Bur
rous have been seen together quite
often in the past week. This is one
of the few times the Marines could
MT keep the situation well in hand.
Do Hopkins and Lower have a
permanent job escorting Truax and
Pyle after every game?
Nancy Wilson's time must be
pretty well taken up between her
horse, her school work and Mr..
Douglas Roberts of Newark.
Anyone wishing to tell us of any
mistake or any news please write

Smyrna Times.
