“Dust to Dust”
It was twilight. The little cabin at
the edge of the village stood starkly-
outlined by the last rays of light.
It was a simple doging, this ca-
bin. With its limestone foundations
and ivy covering the rough boards,
it presented an appearance of calm-
ness and serenity.
Within the dimly lighted cabin, an
old man lay. He was dying. Before
his fast glazing eyes passed a color-
ful procession of his past.
He saw a dashing young man on
horseback lead a victorious regiment
in prade. It was himself, a young
captain just back from the Spanish-

now, just put everything in this ar-
ticle opposite and yot have the boys
down right.)

years of service as a Medical Tech-
nician, ASFPRD, and in the Special
Service Branch, he still sang, being
assigned to perform again and again,
by request, at all types of entertain-
ments: bond rallies, field masses, and
special concerts, bringing delight to
thousands of fellow GI’s.
One month after his discharge
from the Army he was presented in

blouse had been covered with me-
dals that day, but he hadn’t worn
them since.
“The guy who makes a big show
in this life won’t have much of one
in the next,” he would say when
someone asked him why he didn’t
wear his decorations. That simple
statement composed his entire phi-
losophy of life.
He saw a military wedding—his
own. With his lovely bride on his
arm, he had felt himself the luckiest
of men. No other woman could have
been so beautiful, so understanding.
He could go on describing her for
hours and yet not do her justice.
Mere words were quite inadequate
where Laura was concerned.
“Ashes -to ashes,
‘Dust to dust,’
When it’s my time to die—
Well, I guess I must!”
Homecoming Host
And Hostess
Chosen
On Wednesday, October 9 Jack
and Monnie Frost were elected
Homecoming Host and Hostess, re-
spectively, in a student body election
over the two other candidates, Jack
Gordon and Laverne Needham.
This combination, two of W. C.’s
brightest personalities and willing-
est workers, should be ideal to co-
operate with the dean in welcoming
ex-students and their families back
to hte old Alma Mater.
Jack, a Sophomore from Rotan, is
editor of the Oak Leaf, a member of
the student council, is on the fightin’
Coyote eleven and was a Freshman
favorite last year.
Monnis is also a Soph and is sec-
retary to the Coyettes, vice president
of the Thalians, a member of Phi
Theta Kappa, and is a home town
product. (Just for the record, the
Frosts were united into the blissful
gruesome-twosome status May 27,
1947.)

ceased; a last earthly ride to the ce-
metery; an obituary in the local
newspaper; and then—He forced
himself to stop thinking.
The ancient clock in the village
struck nine. The old man stirrde,
restlessly.
The room seemed suddenly envel-
pped in a bright light.
Celestial music sounded from far
away.
As if in a dream, he saw Laura.
She was walking toward him—slow-
ly, gracefully. She stopped before
him and did not move.
“Thank you,” she whispered soft-
ly, “for making my life so perfect.”
He gazed at the vision, spell-
bound. Laura, beautiful Laura, the
effervescence of sweetness and
light! She faded into dim nothing-
ness .
He tried vainly to follow her.
York, and was acclaimed by the
New York critics. Word of this sen-
sational new voice spread quickly,
and he was engaged to sing at many
important New York musical events,
appearing with Peter Donald, fa-
mous radio comedian, and Nick Ken-
ny, celebrated raido columnist, at
a special Town Hall benefit; with
Kate Smith and Milton Berle at a
veterans party in New York’s Hotel
Delmonico; and other such “spot-
light” performances.
Since then, the demand and en-
thusiasm, on tour throughout the
country, for this truly great Ame-
rican tenor has grown by leaps and
bounds.
It was strange how that nonsensi-
cal poem kept flittering through his
mind. It was one he had heard his
grandfather repeat, years ago. His
grandfather had been like that,
though—carefree and ironical to the
last.
He saw a funeral. That day had
■been the saddest of his life—the day
Laura was buried. He had lost some-
thing that day, he told himself, a
living vibrant part of himself that
could never be regained.
Now, he was dying. He wondered
vaguely if anyone would remember
it and grieve a year from then.
There would be a long pompous fu-
neral, he reflected, with the minister
Resorters Trip W’ford
Kangaroos 20-6
On Friday, October 17, the Wea-
therford High School Kangaroos
suffered their first defeat of the sea-
son by bowing to the potent, but
muchly overrated Mineral Wells
Mountainners, 20-6 before an extra-
capacity crowd of 5,000 at the local
stadium.
The Kangaroos’ only tally came
early in the first quarter when fleet
halfback Duncan McCauley received
a punt on his own 20 yard line, and
toted the ball 80 yards through the
complete Resorter outfit, reaching
paydirt un-touched and erect.
The Mountaineers scored late in
the second quarter, and converted,
thus making the half-time score
read 7-6, but; however, they return-
ed the second half to score again
and again—once in the third and
once in the fourth, making the final
score read 20-6.
Caustic Comments
To certain students of W. C.
You shouldn’t go to DENS of IN-
IQUITY on Saturday night and then
go to assembly programs and tell us
other NICE kids how bad we are
You should stay out of those places
and sing in the church choir on
Sunday night.
To a certain “Pee Wee.” you had
better watch a certain girl uptown
because men have been shot for that
very thing. How was she, Slim?
There seems to be no sleep in the
| trailer cabins with Possie and Chili
coming in from Fort Worth at all
hours of the night. Better watch it
boys.
Lowe, you know you shouldn’t go
over to Jenny’s with those girls the
night before a game.
Bill Ford seemed to be enjoying
himself with a certain red head at a
private party Thursday night. Watch
that Bill. He’s finally getting start-
ed.
We see “Skids” Shelby was out
with his favorite girl Thursday
: night. Better watch that, Skids.
We see Bishop still at his favorite
“Hang Out”, the Coyote office; won-
der what the attraction could be?
gu
relating numerous elaborate lies
The front of his j about the sweet character of the de-
really gets around with different
girls—even a red-head. His state-
ment about this was, “Well, I have
to give all the girls a fair break.’
This is enough said about the “Cam-
pus Cutie”.
Wayne Davee seems to have tak-
en aninterest in that freshman girl,
Nelda Prichard. Go to it, Romeo.
Note the expression on Turner’s
face when asked: “Do you girls live
here?”
Bill Shelby is looking for a girl
who will be true to him—or so the
story goes. Who knows?
Gradually, he grew calmer. A
dreamy, wistful look stole over his
face as he lay there—dead.
That was the way they found him
the next morning, quietly sleeping
the sleep of eternity.
“But the soul of him, the glowing,
joyous vibrant soul of him,” was
surely followign eagerly the soul of
her whom he had loved so long, and
was even then meeting a new and
glorious dawn upon some other
shore.
Gossip -
FLASH—
Laverne Needham was seen with
Bob Frost away off in Mineral Wells,
chaperoned by Turner, Price, and
No. 62 and No. 63. Bob seems to be
a steady man since that night. Right ,
Barbara?
There seems to be a little “Fightin’ .
and Feudin’ ’’—that refers to the
Milburn romance which takes in
Witherspoon of Rice, and Mask and
Sullivan of W. C. They don’t like
some of them onery people.
Speaking of football — Nolan
Queen seems to be dating Joyce
Sheppard along with a few other
girls—Marilyn McCleskey and good-
ness knows who else.
Some girls won’t even give the
boys a chance. Melverne Pearson,
for instance.
Have you noticed how nice all
the boys are since the Halloween
Fantasy and Sadie Hawkins Day
Party have been announcer? You
know, that is when the girls are to
ask the boys for dates. Maybe we
need a Date Bureau.
Last year, the Coyote kept up with
the Fowler-Frost romance. Well, this
year, all we have to report is that
they seem to be very happy with
their married life.
Seems that nearly half of the W.
C. student body went to the Hills-
boro game. The W. C. group outyell-
ed the Hillsboro students.
The State Fair was nonored by a
visit from many of the students and
some of the faculty from W. C.
Roselle Price was the lucky one
to go with “Hero” Powell to see the
Weatherford-Mineral Wells game.
Powell has a long waiting list, so
if you want on, let him know. He
Biography
From New York’s “Little Italy” a
singing voice has emerged as to-
day’s foremost singer of songs of the
people. Everywhere, whether in an ,
aria, lied, or simple folk-song, au-
diences have enthusiastically ac-
claimed the beautiful tenor voice of
Anthony Palazzo, who will be heard
here November 18. The concert will
be held in the Weatherford College
gymnasium.
Palazzo has always lived to sing.
As a youth, he thrilled thousands at
picturesque street-festivals in the
Italian section of New York City.
Throughout his schooling he was
constantly in demand at musical per-
formances of every type, and was
encouraged by outstanding authori-
ties. including Edward Johnson, now
General Manager of the Metropoli-
tan Opera Association, to train him-
self seriously for a musical career.
There followed, then, years of in-
tensive study during which period
Palazzo supported himself as a lab-
oratory technician in the medical
research department of Columbia
University. Appearances in opera, at
the New York Hippodrome, with the
Chicago Opera Company, in concert
and on the air won him an ever-in-
creasing number of followers, and
provided, as well, a constant incen-
tive to the achieevment of his own
high artistic ideals.
Palazzo’s entry into the United
States Army in 1943 temporarily dis-
rupted his career. During three
Never Let It Be Known

Adell Powell makes all of the
week day workouts.
Fanny turned down a drink of wa-
ter.

at all.
Don Grimes wears his uniform to
bed at night.
Nolan Queen tells everyone their
plays in case they forget.
Alford is the hardest bolcker on
the squad.
Huntsucker never has to take laps
