Coastal Empire Fair
Appropriately enough, students
and teachers of Bryan County
High enjoyed a brief holiday last
Friday. A good many of the stu
dents made use of that day to
visit the Coastal Empire Fair,
while the teachers attended a dis
trict teacher’s meeting.
Free entrance tickets were is
sued to all students who wanted
them.
There was a wide variety of
rides to suit each individual, from
tiny tots on up. A large collec- ,
tion of exhibits were on display
to be viewed by all.
Everyone left the fair full of :
zest and excitement, looking for I
ward to next year’s fair.

Delores Sowell Shuman

of facing the future as an old |

Delores is the reporter of the
senior class and secretary of the
Journalism Club. She is also a

Another has begun her collection.
She expects to finish it after gra

why our policeman's son has been
visiting Pembroke so much in the

wick. The Fort was constructed
early in 1861, by slave laborers to

FORMER PEMBROKE
TEACHER IS IN
CLAXTON HOSPITAL
A former teacher at Bryan
County High School is in Griffin’s
Hosiptal in Claxton for observa
tion.
Since Mrs. Alene Moore has not
been up to her usual health for
some time she thought it best to
find out her exact trouble so treat
ment could be begun. Mrs. Moore,
taught math in the school in Pem
broke for several years. She was
popular with her co-workers and
with students and was presented
with an honorary life-time mem
bership in the Bryan County High
School Parent-Teacher Associa
tion.
It is hoped that Mrs. Moore’s
trouble will be found and soon
cleared up. Having led an active
life, she is finding it difficult to ;
be confined to a bed for any'
length of time.

Bl TORSION SPRING CHEVROLETS
If you don't think scrapping the front axle has made a world of difference, you
haven't driven a Chevy in a while. A few minutes behind the wheel and you can
feel why drivers are happier and breakable loads are better protected. But the
biggest advantage of all, you'll realize, is that the truck itself (sheet metal, tires,
chassis components, everything) takes less abuse. With independent front sus
pension soaking up road shock and vibration, the truck lasts longer, goes extra
thousands of miles before trade-in time. Add that to what everybody's always
known about Chevy dependability and you find yourself looking
at the soundest truck investment you could bet your business on.

A panel and two pickups that put a thrifty air-cooled engine in the rear, the driver

capacity than a conventional half-tonner. Yet these Corvair 95's are nearly two
feet shorter from bumper to bumper. Highly maneuverable. Built to last and
