PERSONALITIES OF THE WEEK
Norma Faye Bradley, that at-
tractive senior who has brown
eyes and long brown hair,
was born in Okemah, Oklahoma,
on March 30, 1927. She Is five feet
6 inches tall and Informed me that
she weighed "too much.”
She likes cheeseburgers, green,
music, Burleson, running around,
bowling Tommy Dorsey’s Band,
“Oh What It Seemed to Be,” Jimmie
Jo Duke, Mexican food, banana
cake, Hedy Lamar and Dennis Mor-
gan. She loves to dance to "Star-
dust” and then she swooned! ("Oh
that song,” she said.)
When asked if something extra
special ever happened to her she
said, "Well, when I met Richard
Hilliard—B-O-I-N-G" She said, “oh
I’ve been going with him a long time”
Then I asked how she liked Sun-
dpwn and she said, "Oh, it’s wonder-
ful if Richard is here—he’s in Odessa
now.”
She doesn’t like pecan pie or
shrimp and she hates to read.
Norma moved to Sundown about
six years ago and plans to graduate
this year.
MARY NICHOLS
Mary Frances Nichols has hazel
eyes and light brown hair. She
wishes that she had black hair and
blue eyes.
Frances was born at Post, Texas
on February 24, 1928. She moved to
Sundown in 1942, moved away In
1943, moved back In 1945 and she’s
here to graduate this year. She
plans to go to a business school In
Lubbock or Houston and be a sec-
retary.
Miss Nichols likes meat loaf, blue,
shorthand and typing, all the teach-
I ers, volleyball, reading and Burnice
Clark. Mary Frances also likes
much that "has a lot of pep.”
About boys, Frances says, "Well,
they make a person wonder some-
time. but they are all-right.'**

Fresh Fruits and vegeta-

TALE LIGHTS
Mary had a little calf
It kicked a wicked heel.
Monday it lambasted Paw,
Tuesday we had veal.
Mary Margaret, were you running
from someone when you hit that
barbed wire ffence ? ? ? ?
John Whiteside, John Mclnturff.
Jack Page and Bobby Meek had
everybody beat In dressing for the
senior’s party Tuesday night.
Maxine, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself for trifling on John
Ethridge. Seems as though you l'ke
the John’s. «
It seems to be nice when he lives
next door to you doesn't it Wanza
or does it?
Frances Benson and Gene Koonce
Kay Mclnturff romances have
broken up.
What little freshman Is out for
George Benge? We also say Camille
addressing a letter for Oeorge to
some girl unknown he Is writing
to.
Margie makes quite a few trips
to Gorman. She surely rates with
some Guy there. "He’s a relative-
yet he’s not a relative,” she says.
What senior girl has a date with
Charles Smith for the Junior-Senior
banquet? Don’t worry, Louena,
you'll be a Junior next year.
The way some of these grades are
going we will have some old seniors
back with us (I mean you) next
year.
Arlene was all up In the air be-
cause her man will be here to
see her graduate.
Say, whose car had a blowout just
as Anne Skinner got into it the
Other night? Skinner, how much
do you weigh, kid?
We think Cecil Ray should dress
as an Indian all the time—hubba,
hubba.
Camille, why did you take those
tin pieces off your skirt? Brother,
how they swayed when you walked.
Several senior girls really seem
to go for these handsome junior
boys.
Why can’t Fauncine Fite and
Bobby Perry ever get together
again?
One of the twins (I can't tell
them apart) is really stuck in
Roger Pearcy; and vice versa so we
notice.
