The Wilmington morning star., 1946-07-18

The queen vas crowned on the
stroke of midnight by Mayor Ron
aid Lane, and a jeweled crown was
used in the ceremony. Miss Jarman
received a huge arm bouquet of
flowers, and the ribbon signify
ing that she was Miss Wilmington
was placed across her. Cameras
were flashing and amid the APP
plause of friends and newly &C
quired admirers. Miss Jarman had
time to realize that she is on her
way, and has a good chance, to
become Miss America Of 194s.
Hep-Cats Jumping
The hep-cats were really Jump
ing" to the exciting rhythms CT
Glen Gray and his Casa Iona
orchestra. And those who enjoyed
slow dancing had a chance to COM
plete the evening to the more ro-
mantle strains of the orchestra.
Saw Killer Huffman, hep, as
usual. George Daughty was there.
and looked mighty good in a white
suit since he has gotten so SUM-
burned. Jimmy Fryar has been
discharged and will be home for
about six weeks when he will enter
ECTC - but he won't study to be-
come a teacher.
Jane Head was there, when I
saw her, dancing with Billy Quar-
rels, and Helen Codington and Chic
Mathes were doing some mighty
fancy stepping. Shirley Brown,
Sara Williams, Robert Williams,
Betty Hanson, Henry Smith, Nor
wood Smith, Oliver Watkins,
Louise Davis, Lucy Sheffield,
Claude Davis, and Walter Barnes
were all there. I won't say who
they were with, cause I saw them
with so many different people, but
l know they all had a swell time.
Red-Haired Marine
If you saw that red-Aaired Ma
rine doing all that really groovy
jitterbugging, and you wondered
who he was, his name is Louis
Engleme1n, but for obvious rea-
sons everybody calls him Red"
He is well : konwn around town
for his excellent dancing and his
grace and originality in dancing.
Liston Mills, Patty Switzerland,
Mary Anne Jenkins, Anne Har-
riss, Eugene Edwards, Jay Car
ter, and Edna Mathes were also
there. And speaking of people being
there, / have never seen such a
crowd in one place! They just kept
coming in, but none of them ever
went back out. Bert Nisbet and
Louise Dunlea, Bobby Russ and
Miriam Gentry, and Bill Huffman
and Marilyn Goodman were all a
part of this crowd. In conversa-
ton with Bill, I learned that he
is thinking about joining the Mer-
chant Marines and going to New
Orleans with Billy Stewart to get
a ship.
Durwood Orrel1
Word comes from Durwood Orrell
in Merchant Marines Academy in
Mississippi that the work is hard
and the hours are long. But we
know you'll make out all right,
Durwood.
Billy Burns was in Concord this
past week, and saw Grady Carl
son, cousin of Robert Furr, and he
said that he'd be coming back
down this way before too long.
Alana Matthes and L. W. Fon-
vielle were also among those pres
ent at the dance this past Tuesday
night. Jimmy Keever a getting
in some good dancing while Bobby
Haas stood On the sidelines and
just watched. There were so many
people there that I just can't re.

The Teen-age Jamboree held at
Lumina last night was a huge sue
cess. and three more will be held

Music was provided by the Keen
Teeners, and young as well as old

the latest news about the people
