The Wilmington morning star., 1946-03-10

At least the stdy of Hamlet has
made most Of the seniors visit the
library and spend much of their
afternoons pouring over reference
books. l happened to see Sara Viii
liams and Betty Hanson - doing
some tall investigating the other
day. But when I walked I'D to
them I saw that they weren't
studying Shakespeare. but they
were looking at some of the latest
hits that Shirley Brown had
bought mean records. Oh, well.
I know they both do study cause
they always make the honor roll.
And speaking of making the
honor roll, Friday was many peo-
pies waterloo. Yes, report cards
came out on this day, and after
looking at the grades many plans
for the weekend such as going to
the Teen~Age dance or the late
show were cancelled rapidly. I
Just don't sec why the teachers
can't give out reports during the
week. It sho' is dismal to have
to stay in the whole weekend.
Wish / could have gene to the
horror late show this past Satur-
day night. I did go by there and
saw lots of MINIS horror-loves
standing in line with hopes of get
ting in. Mac Ayres came rushing
out looking for Eugene Mauney,
but I don't think he ever found
him. Bill Huffman and his crew
were there. And so were Pat Hard
wick, Betty Hanson, Kathryn Kes-
ter, and Sara Williams.
I don't know whether it was Err
roll Flynn or Alexis Smith, but one
of them sho' did bring out all of
the people in the school-well, al
most all Of them. saw Rosemary
Sweeney and Herman Hayden,
Ann Adams and Graham Barefoot,
Jane Head and Harry Wellott, Bet
ty Davis and Pat Howe, Lon U.s.
sery, Edwin Shain, Eugene Mauney
and June Andrews, and just lots
of others. P.S. The show was real
good!
Speaking Of Eugene Mauney, ]
'naave wonderful news for all of the
people included on his visiting list
and all Of. their parents. He has
bought new car! It's a green
four-door Packard-and it has a
horn! Look for Mauney cause he's
rejoined the automotive owners
club of MINIS.
Rev. Mortimer Glover came out
to school this past Thursday and
talked with representatives OF the
journalism class. art classes, Eng
ish classes. and Student Legisla-
ture about Wilmington, England.
That's a little village in Sussex
for which our city was named.
No, that's not right. mean that
the Earls of Wilmington had their
family seat there, so they named
cities in the new world after this
family. Mr.. Glover has been cor
responding with Rev. Wood in vii
nington, England, and has re-
ceived many interesting articles
from him. Among them were bits
of rock formation found near the
village, pieces Of broken window
from the church which was badly
damaged dring the buzz bomb at
tacks, a tin powder flask, and nuts
from various trees. There was
also limb from a yew tree which
grows in the yard Of the church
and is believed to be 1900 years
old. Just outside of the village are
some OF the chalk cliffs for which
Dover is famous. And on these

In the center Of an outdoor theatre
OF worship. Mr.. Glover has asked
that people who would like to send
things from our city to England
get in touch with him. It has bee.

etc. This is to be taken up with
the student legislature. So, come
