makes you feel mighty good t
hear someone cheer for you when
your name is called to receive
your diploma.
Have you noticed a blond-haired
boy standing in front of the Post
Office with a little camera? Well,
come to think about it, who hasn't
been stopped long enough to &C.
cept a card saying that you have
just had your picture made, and
where you can get the finished
print? This young man is Cecil
Looney, and sometimes I think he
doesn't have any feelings for your
personal appearance. or embar-
rassment. Maybe you're just COM
ing from the dentists office and
feel as if you could bop the first
person who ever looks at you
straight. And sure enough, he's
going to take your picture. Yes,
he does. You accept the card with
a. smile that summons all your
self-control, and stagger off down
the street. Or maybe you're walk
ing with your best girl friends
beau. All the way down the block
you pray he won't see you, and you
even froWn at him as he aims
the camera our way. But it
doesn't do any good. He takes the
picture anyway, and what's worse
the boy you're with decides he'll
get the print. Oh, well! There's
bound to be another girl you can
find for a friend But this happens
to be a special day in your life.
You dress up as if you had just
stepped off Fifth Avenue, and
stroll down the street, hoping
everybody will look at you, or
maybe you'll get a whistle or two
from the felss standing around.
And there's Cecil. You're sure
he'll take your picture. He did the
day you had been housekeeping,
and had just run down street for
a can of wax. As you approach
him, you smile your most appeal
ing smile, md just ask him to
take your picture. But does he?
No, he merely smiles back. and
turns to take a man who looks
as if he has just gotten off work
from the shipyard from three days
of no sleep or a bath. Oh, well!
Such is life.
There are still a few energetic
people in this town. Saw Hunter
Howard polishing his car this past
Friday morning. Sho' did feel sor-
ry for him when we all left for
the beach!
Well, I have succumbed to writ
er's fatigue, and I'm all out of
news, SO I'll close. Seniors, be sure
to be at church at 4:45 o'clock.
Until the first of the week, So

home this weekend is that of
Donald Blake. I saw him on the
beach the other night, and he's
grown up so I hardly knew him.
But he's still the same swell fella,
and a mighty happy fella to be
back home!
This past Friday was a perfect
day for the beach, and many Of
the crowd were down. I saw Lon
Ussery, Eugene Mauney, and Ed
win Shain. These three were brave
enough to emerge in the icy
depths of the deep-go swimming
but 1 think they spent most Of
the rest of the day lying in the
sun, thawing out! Pat Hardwick,
Shirley Brown, and Betty Hanson
were there, too. They all have
mighty pretty sun-tans, so it pays
to spend your extra time on the
beach. The only trouble is, we
don't have half enough extra time.
Playing baseball on the beach
were Billy Lee, Pat Howe, Liston
Mills, and others.
A fairly newcomer to the beach
is Bruce Cartier, recently dis
charged member of the Navy. He
lives on Harbor Island, and fire.
quents the beach regularly. Bobby
Sanders and Charlie Brindell seem
to have chosen the bowling alley
at Station One as their favorite
beach spot. And speaking of bowl
ing, you should see Catherine
Rhett sling those big balls down
the alley. She shows that some
girls have Drawn as well as
beauty. And she sho' does have a
quantity of both - especially
beauty!
AS I write for this weekend, the
caps and gowns which were to be
worn by the graduating members
of the senior class have not ar
rived. And the afternoon of the

when she said, II haven't got a
