fading into memories, Cooter is
coming back down to earth and
enjoying the grand OLE familiar
hometown life at the beaches,
movies and OF the gang once
more.
From the looks of the situations,
it seems that most of the travel
ing teensters had chosen Saturday
as their day for tripping around
the countryside; for when late al
ternoon of Saturday faded with
the sinking sun into a cool grey
night. a tired bunch of characters
stepped off the bus here at home.
The travel-Weary Teenagers were
the campers up at Kanuga Lake
in western North Carolina.
Those who sighed and were glac
TO be home again ere Sara Kay
Jordan, who had been at Carp
Kanuga for the past month as a
senior lifeguard there at the camp
lake. Laura Harriss, Norman
! George, H. B. Clover, and Jimmy
| Oldham.
One day at camp some Of the
hometowners were bidding around:
when in walked Gene Hardin ano
some of his friends from Camp
, at 3revard. Quite naturally, they
were all glad to see SOMEBODY
that. each one of'em now!
AS the summer wears on, the
trips we have looked forward to
are taken and soon it was' days
or weeks ago that we Travelled.
But more trips are in line as there
remain nearly six more weeks OF
vacation days.
A short talk with Princess Stell-
ings the other day informed me
that her travelling days will COM
mence about the Twelfth of August,
when she goes north with her
family to New York for a WHILE
then moving on up north to Toronto
possibly journey to the western
part of North Carolina, and Kath-
arine Harriss hopes to stay a short
while with school friends in Fay
etteville.
Last Thursday l happened to
encounter a very excited Frank
Bradley. After a pause, and a deep
breath, and a wee bit of a story
the hepped-up character had calm
ed down and was speaking only
mildly fast. At any rate, it seems
to sing the second tenor in the
church choir at the Peabody Con-
servatory of Music in Baltimore.
Frank selected that institution as
his halls of learning for the next
four years where he plans to
major in voice; and as the part
is quite coveted, we congratulate
Frank on his accomplishment. In
cidentally, this means that ne is
next in line for the solo; sc
we wish to extend our congpatu'
lations to Mrs. Merritt, who has
worked so hard so earnestly with
her voice student for the past
year.
Hey, characters; Another beach
comber of beachcombers has hi
the old place once more; and Il
you haven't seen him around yet,
you surely will! For he ID one
person you're not likely to miss
seeing! All the talking is abou'
Ralph Gray. who came a-calllne
to the ole hometown Wednesday
a week ago. Ralph plans to stay
here until Monday Or the frs
part of this week. "Judy-Babe'
slipped me -ae word on his ar
rival-and we're glad to know
he's back for a visit.
Round and round he goes, ano
where he stops, nobody knows!
So it is with Carl Williams, who
in the last month has journeyed
from Fort Bragg to Fort Jackson
in South Carolina, and now we
find him out at Fort Knox IN
Kentucky. Carl has been sent out
there and is now taking his mill
tary training under the new uni
versal military training plan
which will last a year. Carl left
Ronnie Walker back in S. c., a
week ago when he took his Ken
lucky trip.
Last Monday night found some
