The Wilmington morning star., 1947-10-26

Sisters" 1t is an Hungarian come
costumes. The student body show
for the tryouts and Miss Robt
deciding on the talents of diffe
definitely been set, but will
next week.
If you happened to pass by
the Community Center Wednes-
day night, you might have
thought they were having the
regular Friday night dance, but
you would have been wrong.
The crowd was for the dance
given by the dancing classes Of
Miss Atha Josey. It turned out
to be just like an open house
for everyone came down.
Since the girls had the largest
crowd, there were many girl
breaks. Along with the girl
breaks were bump dances and
double breaks. Just in case all
of you aren't familiar with the
bump dance I'd love to explain
it. Suppose two couples are
dancing and they bump, then
they have to change partners.
It is really a lot of fun and
makes a dance very interesting.
A grand march was led by
Bradford Virgins and as we
passed through the arch, we
were presented a drink ticket.
The football team had a very
large representation and added
very much to the dance. Jim
Gibson, Bob Lewis, Eddie Can
field, Morris Moore, Johnnie
Crowley and Bill Kuhn were a
few Of the football squad.
Each class was well repre-
sented and the crowd varied.
Some of the freshmen were
Mary Jane Wade, Margaret
Thomson, Tommy Thompson,
Billy Dosher and Louie Wood
bury. A few sophomores were
Gertie Bea Myers, Catherine
Post, Ann Penton, Randolf
Lewis and Don Piver. A few of
the juniors and seniors were
Betty Britz, Jean Pope, Kent
Thompson, Adair Simpkins,
Laura Harriss, Jimmy Oldham,
Raymond Haas, Betsy Will
liams, Randy McIver, Ruth
Avery and Sally Kelly.
All in all it was a swell dance.
Everyone hopes there will be
more like them.
AS the school bell rang at
three fifteen Thursday after
noon at the high school a large
part Of the student body hur-
ried to the corner of Thirteenth
and Market to fall in behind the
high school band. The cheer
leaders led the band down Mar
ket to front and then up front
to the Atlantic Coast Line Sta
ton. The band gave a short
concert and this was followed
by a few popular cheers from
the crowd. 1t really got people
into the spirit once more and
was a big success.
Great praise goes to our Wild
cat football team today for play
ing such a fine game against
the Goldsboro Earthquakes
The final score was 70 as we
overpowered the Quakes in the
fourth quarter. Wilmington had
a large crowd in Goldsboro and
to be frank, I think we had as
many, if not more than, Colds
boro. Everyone had plenty of
school spirit and the response
of the cheers was super. It GER
tainly sounded nice.
A blow of the whistle and off
went the train for Wilmington.
The train, chartered by the
members of the Atlantic Coast
Line Service Club, was filled to
the brim and, of course, every
one was in hgih spirits after
winning the game. The band
provided the music and the
crowd provided the songs.
If you happened to notice the
way people lodged Clayton
Starnes, it wasn't that they
didn't like him, but that he had
q flash camera and was taking
pictures for the "Wildcat."
Clayton told me he had taken
twenty shots Of different stu
atoms and if everyone is smart
they will be extremely nice to
Clayton, for he could really
rack up on ''black-mal." That
just wouldn't do, but after find
ing out what a few of the shots
were then I can easily see how
it would work.
After having such a grand
time on the train I would like
to speak on behalf of the stu
dent body in thanking the mem
bers of the Atlantic Coast Line
Service Club on making this
trip possible for so many. 1t
was really swell.
