that I saw were Donald Peter
son and Pete AGREE with Pete's
attractive cousin. Also there
were Hester Freeman and
Hampton Rothwell, Billy
Quarles and Charlie Smith. It
was a very good movie and
those there were inspired by the
acting of Greer Carson and
Robert Mitchum.
AS everyone knows this COM
ing Friday is Halloween and as
usual everyone has his favorite
prank to pull on his favorite
person. Each year after Halo
we'en is over we hear reports
of vandalism. This is a night
for pranks, but not for damag-
ing other persons property.
Jokes can 60 so far and then
they aren't jokes.
It might not mean SO much to
us after all if We don't cut up
Mr.. Browns hose or if we don't
break out Mr.. Green's windows.
Think twice and you may
change your mind.
Also this Friday night our
New Hanover Wildcats will bat
tie the Wilson Cyclones in Will
son. A large crowd is expected
to attend this game and see our
fighting team through another
victory.
There will be a chartered
train again this week, which
will provide transportation for
those not able to make it by
car. Remember how much fun
we had going to Goldsboro?
Well, go get your ticket early
and We'll have plenty more.
This Saturday night the Leg
islature will sponsor another
dance at the high school. 1t will
have the Halloween theme and
Will be a tacky ana maquerade
d lance. Everyone rumage
around and find that old mask
and try to fool all of those
there. Dungarees and old plaid
shirts will be the sytle and a
swell dance will be the occa-
sion, so everyone grab a date
and come on to the party.
The Wildcat comes out tomor-
row.. Since Halloween is just
around the corner, no telling
what it will be like. Just every
one hurry to get one before they
sell out or you'll be sorry. -.

now so I'll see you all around

Approaches To

BY RUTH MILLETT


There is an endless variety of
ways by which two women, who
don't know each other well, can
strike up a gossip session.
Here are a few of the most
over worked approaches:
"What is Mrs. Jones like -
really?" This means, Lets
take the woman apart. I know
she isn't what she pretends to
be, so let's compare notes."
81 don't believe in gossiping
about my neighbors, but.
This is the prelude to the in
side dope on everyone on both
sides of the street.
"1t's really marvellous the
way she finds time for so
many things" and "Her chill
dren certainly don't seem to
worry her much-I wish I could
turn mine loose like that, but I
Just can't" Now the way is
clear for a critical discussion of

direction of Hester C. Donnelly,
assisted by Marion Redmayne,
Helen Jones, Betty Divine, E]e-

"Blithe Spirit" was an imme-

tertainment and each ITALIAN
player in the cast has been
chosen carefully to make the
most of Noel Coward's bright
and gay lines.
The public is cordially invited

to be with children in play a
well as in the home.
