Evelyn G. is enlarging her field
of interest —now she is concerned
about Lanier,
Mildred, was it the “Boy” or the
“Bmck"?
“Shoopit” Peyton says he has
substituted books for girls. I he.
change lias done him good.
Betty Jones, you’ve really got |
Hentz worried! All he thinks about
is some way to make up with you.
So Betty Cosey was all eyes at
the basketball game Friday night! |
Could it be because of a Perry boy
who’s going to M. G. C?
And we also have another new |
car lover. What about that blue j
Hudson, Jo Alice?
Betty Connell always" brings j
home the bacon” when she goes to
the post office. Tell us more Con
nell.
Clint, must we warn you again
about keeping such late hours?
Grandad might get tired of asking
you to leave.
Our seventh grade Casanonova,
Mac Satterfield, seemed to have en
joyed the dance Friday night im
mensely. What about it Peggy P.,
L. A, Collier, B. Smith, and S.
Riddle?
A senior is still blushing over her
blunder this week—She forgot
which boy she was dating and said
the wrong name.
