The Wilmington morning star., 1947-06-25

Summertime is the high-spot of
the year for the younger set.
Hometown guys and gals who
have been away at school all year
return to the city and beaches,
and the familiar faces are once
more seen around the soda shop,
the bowling alleys. and on the
sands Of Wrightsville Beach.
Although some OF the gang has
been here for a couple Of weeks,
we'll look back TO see where some
of US have spent the last months.
Who Was Where
Jimmy McKoy is one of those
seen around for the last coupla'
weeks. Jimmy attended GINA for
several years. then spent the past
year at Oakridge Military Acade-
my. He has returned home for
the summer.
Gene Hardin also attended Oak
ridge last year and is here for
the summer. Gene has one of the
little Crosleys, SO he's the guy
you see most anytime chugging
around in a miniature car On the
beach.
Bruce Cartier hustled home
from Mars Hill several weeks ago
for the summer months. Bruce
can be seen about anytime of the
Gay a-flyin' low around the sound
down at Wrightsville in one of the
new Higgins runabouts. Also
~scooting around with him are
Dick Andrews and Sandy Robert
son. Dick was in school here last
year, while Sandy attended Geor-
gia Military Academy.
Fraser Perry recently returned
to Wilmington after finishing at
ST. Paul's in Concord, New Hamp-
shire. incidentally, Fraser COM
pleted his work in such a way
this year as to place him with
the credits Of a sophomore in col
lege-a year ahead.
Jane Perry journeyed up the
eastern coast with her family to
Fraser's school. She travelled
through Washington and New
York, and the end of her weeks
trip found her in Concord where
the family met Fraser and Artie,
the younger brother also in school
there.
Back down this way for the
cy1rnponr ~ fho Do44arcN,,r f,o~o
Charlotte. Jimmy and Stark Pat
terson, are seen either out in the
moth boat, on the water skis, or
going from n end of the beach
to the other in the stationwagon.
Jimmie and Stark enjoy the COM
pany of hometowners Libba Roe,
Beth Harriss, Nancy Trask, Poll
Barefoot, and Carl Brown and
others.
Down this way once more is
Dewey Bridger, who journeys to
Wrightsville Beach each summer.
Dewey spent the past year as a
cadet at Riverside Military Acad-
envy. He halls from Bladenboro.
Taking a gander at the notes on
more OF the gang, we find that a
great week ended a few days ago
for a few groups Of hometown
characters. Last week found
many of the youth groups at
Louisburg Junior College for the
Methodist Youth Fellowship meet
ings. Some Of those that hustled
up the state were Kathryn Hunter.
Ruth Ann Fisher, 10 Anne Snead,
Virginia Hatch, and Carson
Boone.
Regrets To Bill
Remember that wave OF ap-
pendicitis attacks that spread
through the gang during the last
year Looks as it the old low
killer didn't feel that his work was
well-done, for he came back for
two more victims and this time
caught up with Bill Huffman first.
then snagged Hester Freeman.
So off hustled the two to James
Walker Memorial Hospital. Bill
is home now, but Hester has been
there only two Or three DAYS. To-
day finds Bill practically o. and
almost as good as new! We GER
tainly were sorry to hear about
Bill and Hester, but mighty.
mighty glad to know that they
both are getting along fine. C'mon
out. you two, that beach misses
you as much as We dol
At Home Or Away
It's mighty nice to see an ole
familiar face around again. Harry
Wellott, who has been DISCHARGED
from the navy, returned home
about two weeks ago..
