they were, they sho' did have a n
1t SEEM az if you never do
quite outgrow going to school. l
saw in the paper this week where
Mr.. Hamilton is attending school
in the mountains for six weeks
during the summer. l never knew
you had to go to school to teach
other people how to act in school,
but it seems as if you do.
Beginning next week, Sarah
Anne Eaton will start giving les
son on the art of entering the
Bailey theatre, on one foot and
one knee. Since she is a pro-
f~essional at this, she feels that
there may be others who would
like to master the art as she has
done. 1t all started when she
went to the show with Hopper
johnson this last Friday night.
There wasn't a downpouring rain,
just a mist, and Sarah Anne and
Hopper were both walking under
the same umbrella. She had on
high = heel shoes and during the
walk from the car to the theatre
she kept slipping on the wet
pavement. Il just know I'll fall
before we get in the show she
exclaimed jokingly to Hooper. He
left her to buy the tickets, and
just as she stepped inside the
shelter of the theatre, she slipped.
HOOPER said it looked as if she
had thrown her umbrella at a
woman who was standing close by!
Down poop Sarah Anne went -
into the mud with her good dress
and pocketbook to say nothing OF
her shoes, and hurt pride. OF
course Hooper's first impulse wal
to laugh, and he almost forgot to
pick her up. But he gathered hec
up and helped her collect what
was left of her dignity. AS you can
we'll imagine, Sarah Anne saw
nothing funny in the whole AFFAIR
and hurried to get inside the show
where no one could see the mud
and her EMBARRASSMENT. About nall
way through the show, she began
to realize how funny she must
have looked, and chuckled, quietly
at first, but pretty soon she was
laughing out loud. It's a gooa
thing the show vas a funny one!
Saw Mr.. Baldwin the other day,
and he said that Jack had lett
for some camp in Virginia where
he will serve his time for Uncle
Sam in the Army.
At last Bill Montgomery is work
ing! He has obtained a Job with
The Atlantic Coast Line. 1t is ms
lob to take messages down TO
the western Union during the
dav Sho' are going to miss see
ing him in front of Saunders OF
on the beach during the DAY.
walter Russ, better known as
"Breezy." has become n OF the
student body at North Carolina
state college in Raleigh. He is
studying electrical engineering
and I know he'll do just fine! Bob
hv Russ has recently been dis
charged from the Navy, and plans
to take it easy during the summer
months ahead. But next fall, ne
will enroll at Wake Forest where
he will study dentistry.
Good luck to two swell fellas.
May you both succeed in all you
do.
Congratulations on the ROTC
unit of MINIS for making such a
fine showing in the Federal lnspec-
ton held this past school year
Their rating was IS per cent and
fraction while the average rating
for the other military units in nigh
schools was only II per cent. We
knew our fellas were right up
there on top, but it makes us fee
mighty proud to have others fine
out just how good they are. Yes,
the classes at MINIS this coming
school year really have had a high
goal set for them in all fields by
the graduating class of 1916. They
are going to have to buckle down
and work hard to even come up
to the students turned out by our
graduating class. But then, MINIS
always has had swell students and
teachers, and they have always
produced high school graduates OF
which all of US can be more than
proud. Even though most OF us
are going away to school IN the
fall, we'll keep up with you and
the things you do, SO do the very
best you can and make us all
proud of you and your accom-
plishments.
