Ehe took no pity on those VINO
weren't so well prepared. No one
enjoyed this weather more tnan
Betty Hanson, hut then she's one
of those exceptional people VINO
ran get fun out of every phase OF
life. But Pat HardWick, Sara VII
Ians, and Shirley Brown were
among those other 1000 who were
disappointed because they hoped
for snow.
Weenie-roasts seem to be the
most popular form Of recreaton
these days and times. In spite OF
this being exam week, one was
given Monday night. And, IN spite
of the cold weather, and that great
big beautiful moon, everybody had
a swell time.
It was bad enough for us when
the lights went out this week.
Then we couldn't perform our
favorite pastime STUDYING!
But when the phone lines went
down. we were sunk. The night
must have seemed centuries long
for some people people like
George Clark who couldn't call his
partner-in-crime Kenneth Rogers,
and plan their doings for the next
day. And if you have a special
someone, they had to 60 to bed
without spending that usual hour
draped over the phone listening to
YOU pour out sweet nothings in
their ear. I'll bet Dad sure was
glad that he could pass one night
reading the paper - even if by
candlelight-w I h u having to
listen to you clog up the phone
wires.
NEW FASHION
There's new fashion around
school now, and Brother! What an
original one it isl! If you see a
boy without an old battered hat
on and minus a pair Of timeworn
dungarees and a very loud shirt,
do stop and talk to him! He is
what is commonly known as a
square. But, doesn't he look
nice? AS usual, there are always
a few who excel in everything,
even in fashions as dopey as this.
First prize would 60 to Pat Howe,
with Mac Ayres running a close
second. You couldn't be fair and
overlook Martin Fields or Howell
Sharpe. If I've left anyone out, it. S
because there are SO many that
you can't single out any more. Oh,
yes! There is another one that
comes to my exam-torn mind
Liston Mills. Why can't the girls
wear plaid shirts and dungarees?
Maybe they don't look quite as
feminine as knobby-knit sweaters,
pleated skirts, and clankjng charm
bracelets, but they are mighty
comfortable. We have taken one
part of our wearing apparel from
the males, though. If you notice
the ankles of most of the girls,
and who doesn't, except maybe
John Hobbs, you'll see that boys
athletic socks protrude from the
tops of brown and gray saddle
shoes or loafers. What does it mat
ter if they are boys size II; they
feel mighty good on these cold
mornings!
Saunders Is still the favorite
meeting place Of the youthful. If
you've lost track of someone,
cruise by Saunders and If you
can't find them, you will surely
be able to find someone, usually
boys, who is up on the current
news and able to give you their
whereabouts.
About the most popular song
with us is "OH, NO, NO, NO, IT
COULDN'T BE TRUE" from the
picture Stork Club. Our outstand-
ing male vocalist, Football Smith,
will be glad to give you his own
rendition Of it any time.
No, that "recon car" doesn't be-
long to member Of the Camp,
Davis staff. It's the personal prop
erty of Earl Goodwin and conveys
many MINIS students to and from
school daily. Tommy Hall, Gene
Jewell, Jimmy McCarl, Sonny
Blalock and Oscar Willis are regu-
lar occupants. In the mornings it
becomes family car and trans.
ports the Stefanadis family to the,
house of learning. Thanks, Earl,
for getting them to school on time.
Many st u d e n s attended the
dance held after the basketball
game with Raleigh this past Fri
day night. AS usual the stays
fought Tor the middle Of the floor
and managed to bottle-neck the
dancers by taking up most Of the
room.
No, Corinne Wilkinson hasn't
had a spell of sickness. She just
got out of her shorthand exam and
was heard to say that her nerves
were shattered. That feeling has
been registered on many faces by
exams. Hacksaw futile managed
