Things are back to normal. The
dining room table is again hidden
under its load of unironed cloth
es. The ironing board is up with
the iron handy. The vacuum is |
dragged into plain view from its
snug place under the serving]
table where it could only be part- 1
ly seen. The Sunday dishes are
back on the shelf. I’ve had the
missionary society.
You’ve heard of a cold day in I
July. If this keeps up we’ll be'
having a hot day in December. 1
The spring-like weather we’ve ]
been having could well be our un- j
doing when the blizzard from the!
Plains states sends its icy blasts j
southward. The thermometer onl
the back porch reached up into 1
the eighties last week. My nose!
is enjoying the respite, which will
end only too soon, it says cold
from first frost until late thaw, j
I note that the beauteous Liz
Taylor wowed Paris society with
a new mink and new hair-do. She
was using the same husband.
I regret the death of Clarke i
Gable. He was part of my youth |
and one holds on as long as pos
sible to any part of those fleeting
years. I saw the picture, “It
Happened One Night,” in which
the handsome actor won an Oscar
for his performance. Who can
forget the scene when the “walls
of Jericho” fell. His wife with
their unborn child he wanted so
much has my genuine sympathy.
Ward Bond is a much later ac
quaintance. But I have accom
panied him on many a hair-rais
ing trek across country and I view
his series sadly now, knowing that
he is not really there.
There is nothing like a new baby I
t o mellow hearts. President I
Eisenhower sent a terse telegram |
of congratulations to John Ken- 1
nedy when he became the presi
dent-elect. But when he became
a papa for the second time, the
president’s telegram befitted the
occasion. It was even so with
the Father of my Sons. In his
opinion cats are mice traps and
while he doesn’t mistreat mice
traps, since it would mean putting
in another supply, there is noth
ing about a cat that brings out
a tender feeling. But when our
late Louise, many years ago, had
her first kittens, he made her a
small escape hole in the garage
so we could shut the doors and
keep out the larger, marauding'
animals that, would chew the little
ones to pieces.
I have more than one pet peeve.
One of them to which I am sub
jected at each television viewing
is stomachs. I object to seeing:
1 Two Bedroom Home, Both, Livingroom. Loca
tion, contact Best Built Homes, Inc. Office on
Hwy. 80. Also state that there are 2 acres of
land, and that the house can be financed on
small monthly payments.

■ Why couldn’t James C. sit with
the crowd instead of keeping his

and Lou Joy were at the dance
j with two Southeast boys. For
) some reason they looked sort of
bored. But, of course, they had
a wonderful time . . . The Soda

Pictures Taken
Wednesday, November 23, the
school was in an uproar of excite
ment and confusion due to the
taking of group pictures of the
elementary grades and the var-
I ions clubs.
The pictures were taken by He

Junior Project
The Juniors are now engaged
in their second money-making pro
ject of the year. Monday, copies
of School Days went on sale. They
are 50 cents per book. All pro
ceeds will go into the Junior trea
sury.
Last week they sponsored one
'of the most delightful school
dances we’ve ever had.

Mary Strickland
An evei>tempered, easy-going I
blond with blue eyes. This state- ‘
ment almost describes Mary
Strickland , who is this year a
Senior at Bryan County High. Os
course, the above statement
doesn’t completely describe her,
for she is attractive, liked by
everyone, and dependable when the
going gets rough.
Mary is a member of the FHA,
Journalism Club, Annual Staff,
and president of the Library Club.
She lives a few miles out of
: Ellabelle with her mother and
| father, Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh
। Strickland. She has one sister,
who is married and lives in At
lanta. Mary’s hobbies are sew
; ing, reading, skating, and photo
! graphy.

Why I Want to be a Teacher
I have chosen teaching as my
career because I want to guide
younger people toward citizenship
and service. I am more than will
ing to go to college and prepare
myself for this job.
I think teaching would not only
be a great challenge, but very in
teresting work.
I would like to teach high school,
and would like to major in His
tory or Social Science.
Jery Lynn Bacon
Mrs. Owens, 3rd grade teacher,
has moved to Savannah where her
husband is employed. She is be
ing replaced by Mrs. Eddie O.
Bacon. Mrs. Bacon is not a new
member of the faculty because
she has taught here before. Her
husband, Mr. Bacon, is one of
our popular high school teachers.
We are very fortunate to have
Mrs. Bacon join our faculty. She
will surely be an asset to our
school.
We regret losing Mrs. Owens.
She has done an outstanding job
with her third graders. Our best
wishes go with her and her hus
band to their new home.
