If you pass by school in your
daily travels to and from town, no
doubt you have seen the green
benches in front of the high school.
They have become quite popular,
especially at lunch. even saw
Kathryn Kester and some other
girls sitting on them during the
rain the other day. Earl Goodwin
was one of the males present, so
the girls aren't the only ones who
can think of crazy things to do:
Football Smith, Willie Hewlett, and
Dick Piner are frequent occupants
of these benches during the day
how bout when the sun goes down,
fellas??
This nice warm weather has
brought forth many pretty flowers
which can be found in the hair OF
almost any girl at school. Japonl-
cas- or camillias seem to head the
list. Jayne McAdams had on
beautiful pink enc the other day
and Martha Holton always wears
beauties!
I'd like to say that all the other
members of that French II class
finally did bring in projects and
most of them were excellent ex-
amples of hard work. Booklets on
the social customs, maps OF the
provinces of France, and booklets
on Paris were the ones done by
most students. Although Percy has
the honor of being the first one to
complete his project, others are in
now and everyone deserves credit
for work well done.
Another returned service man
has entered the MINIS family. His
name is Fred Dew, and already
the girls are talking about him. I
overheard a conversation about
him at lunch the other day and
from what they had to say, he'll
do all right.
Lillian Evans was here for a
few days and all of us were glad
to have her back, but sorry she
couldn't stay longer. She attended
MINIS until last fall when she
moved to Raleigh. But she still
comes back to visit Wilmington and
we're always glad to see her.
Finkie Marlowe is seen with her
most frequently. Boy! What a
traffic-stopping pair!!
Welcome home again to sailor
Bill Lassister. I glinpsed him in
the hall Monday and somehow had
feeling he was hurrying to meet
Mary Ann Hamilton, so I didn't
stop him to talk.
Plan now to attend the Glee
club presentation of New Moon. "
Remember what a scream Bobby
Melton was last year in Naughty
Marietta?" Well, you should see
him this year with his partner-in-
fun, Melrose Straughn. They sho'
are something. And then there
vampish Marguerite Todd who
tries her best to win Bobby be-
cause he's so appealing, but Mel
rose proves that it's always the
sweetest girl that wins out in the
last. So be sweet, girls, and il
you don't have any success with
these hard-hearted males - be
vampish!!!
A campaign against cheating Is
being launched in the school anc
although we aren't the world s
worst for committing this crime
all of us are far from being per
feet. So, let's give this move all Of
our support and make our schoo
the finest in the state-and the
whole U. S.
If you are wondering what book
you'll make your next book report
on. lust 20 to the city library anc
ask Mary Emma Humphrey te
help you. She's the girl with the
big broad smile and that intelligent
look that most of u.s. haven't &C
quired. She'll be glad to help yor
cause it wasn't too long ago tha'
she was in high school, too, ane
she knows what we're going
through with.
We're sorry to hear that the
Lunatic club at school has beer
disbanded. I'm sure that there're
enough lunatics to keep it going
but the present members decided
against it. So, it is now thing O.
the past. What will be next?? Why
not the All-Alone-and-Lonely club
for those of us who have to spene
the weekend nights at home with
! a good book because the boys hae
rather 90 down to the Academy
or have a stag party? 1t just ISM
fair, fellas. Come on and give the
| girls break!
I won't say anything about the
basketball games until the emo
of the week. We've already played
one with Raleigh and everyone
knows the outcome. But be sure
to attend the Wilson game this
Friday night. We had super
crowd last week, and even If it
didn't help Durham. it really
helped the Wildcats, so let's all
be there again and give out with
the cheers that make our fellas
victorious.
Until next time, $50 1ong!"
