Saturday afternoon l saw Bet
ty Yopp riding around town
before returning to Converse
college with Rachael Cameron.
Others that l noticed taking one
good look before returning were
Virginia Hatch, Cynthia john
son, Anna Kamer, Mary Eliza
beth Westbrook, Mary Ann Spill
man, Ebe Goodwin, Bill Huffman
and Frank Bradley. Virginia
Gregg and Mavis Sykes had al
real Thanksgiving vacation for
during the few days they
journeyed down to Atlanta,
Georgia, to see Bubba Sykes.
They returned to Wilmington
Saturday and then to school
Sunday. Johnnie Murchison and
Sonny White were still others
making their way back TO their
work. l know it's sad when they
have to leave, but they'll be
back not too long from now.
Last week Miss Mary Lath-
rop's Latin classes piled into two
trucks of hay and off they went.
Some wondered if they would
ever reach their destination for
| it was mighty cold. Miss Lena
Taylor, Miss Dorothea Jones,
Sgt. Wilkinson, Mr.. Chase, Miss
Jones, Miss Easley and Miss
|Lathrop made up the faculty list
and they seemed to enjoy them
selves as much as the boys and
girls. Since the wood WAS so wet
the bows had a rather hald time
starting fire, but after much
work they succeeded. Just few
of the rnanv that gathered about
the fire to sing were Herbert
Fisher, May Holton, Priscilla
Harriss, Snookie Stone, B ct s y
Harris, Charlie Smith, Clint
Wilson and Billy Quarles.
Although a little frozen, every
one had swell time and it was
really a nice crowd
Next week is official "Friend-
ship Week.. 1t will be carried
out in a big way at New Han
over for it is lust this type of
thing that is lacking in our
schools today. Starting every
thing off will be the party for
freshmen only this Saturday
night. The social marshals will
have charge of the decorations
and the purpose of the party is
to make the freshmen feel that
they are great part of the high
school, There has been much
talk about this and some say
that a few of the freshmen feel
that they don't fit in at the
dances. This should not be, be-
cause they are the largest class
and without their support the
school could not carry on. I've
also heard the boys say that
there are some mighty cute
freshmen girls that they would
like to dance with and it's the
same way with the freshmen
boys. Another point the commit
tee for the friendship week will
try to improve is speaking to
everyone whenever you see
people in the halls or on the
street, we'll, speak. You'll find 1t
helps lot. Without the help of
the whole student body this plan
cannot be carried out. Let's
help!!
Basketball! Basketball! It's all
YOU hear now and do you know
why? It's because the schedule
has been announced and has
aroused much interest throughout
town.
One of the big non-conference
games will be against CRANKY
High in Norfolk on December 20.
Those of you that were fortunate
enough in attending the Duke
Durham basketball tournament
last March, will remember that
CRANKY High proved themselves
tops. CRANKY was our second
game of the tournament and
when they defeated us they put
us out of the spotlight. Also in
cluded on our schedule will be
the Oak Grove Marines, New
port News, the bearded Wiz
yards, Wilson, Rocky Mount,
Durham, Goldsboro, Raleigh and
Fayetteville. This is really a full
season and is causing much ex-
citement everywhere. Remem-
ber! The first game is on Dec
ember Is, here against the Oak
Grove Marines. I'll see you
there.
Congratulations go this week
to Bill Kuhn, Jimmy Piner, Jim
Gibson and Doc Venters. Bill
Kuhn and Doc Venters have re-
Gently been selected to play IN
the Shrine Bowl this Saturday
in Charlotte. Jim Gibson and
Jimmy Piner have been selected
