The Paducah Post
... or how to build friendship in Scotland
Toasting a new acquaintance, the friendly Scotsman says, Here’s tae us. The
American fighting man responds, Have a “Coke”, and a new friendship is
sealed ... in Dundee as in Dallas. Around the globe Coca-Cola stands for
the pause that refreshes—has become the symbol of the friendly-minded.
i
BOTTLED UNDER AUTHORITY OF THE COCA-COLA COMPANY BY
Paducah Coca-Cola Bottling & Ice Co.
It’s natural for popular names
to acquire friendly abbrevia-
tions. That’s why you hear
Coca-Cola called “Coke”.

ASSEMBLY
The assembly program Tues-
• day morning was presented by
the freshmen class. Dolly Corzine
announced the program. There
were piano solos given by Shirley
Blount, Martha Ann Stewart,
Cleto Jo Clowers and Mary Beth
Stewart. Bobbie Lee Payne and
Laverne Anderson gave readings.
This was the first assembly given
by the students and it was en-
joyed by everyone.
HOMEMAKING ACTIVITIES
Future Homemakers of Texas
Club met Friday, Oct. 1, and
elected the following leaders for
the year: President, Juanita Can-
non; vice-president, Loetta Bragg;
secretary, Dorothy Goodman;
treasurer, Patsy Overstreet and
reporter, Mary H. Oldham.
The club name is “Baste and
Taste.” The colors are blue and
silver and the flower is corn
flower.
They chose for the program
theme, “Hobbies.The vice-
president appointed Dolly Corzine
and Joyce Fulton to show their
hobbies at the next meeting
which will be Oct. 28.
The first year Home Ec. class
is working on their pajamas and
house coats, while the second and
third year classes are working on
kit bags for the Junior Red Cross.
PICTURE SHOW
The regular visual aid program.
was given Thursday afternoon in
the high school auditorium. Four'
films were presented. They were
“Letter From Bataan,” a comedy
—“From the Frying Pan to the
Firing Line,” “The Paratroops”
and “Victory In Papua.” We al-
ways look forward to seeing new
films every week.
THE WAR EFFORT
Some think they haven’t any-
thing to do in helping the war
effort, but everyone has his duty.
This is not only the service men’s
war but everybody’s war and
everybody working together must
win it.
You can buy war stamps and
later turn them into bonds. This
doesn’t mean to do without ne-
cessities and buy bonds, but it
does mean to do without a few
pleasures. It won’t hurt you to
stay home from a show once, or
ao without one coke. All these
little things amount up and may
help your brother or uncle some-
where “over there.”
I know the students in high
school know their duties and
know that they must be done.
_JJ3ousewives can save waste
fats and turn them in to the
meat dealer weekly. The people
on the home front may not real-
ize all this now but they should
and will before long.
Cars don’t have to be driven
as much any more. Of course,
that saves rubber and gas. There
are a lot more things we can do
but buying stamps and bonds is
the largest.
Let’s all keep on buying bonds
and stamps so we can keep this
the land of the free and the
home of the brave. Let’s not be
dis-loyal to our flag at a time
like this.
FASHIONS
Wanda Lee Campbell begins
today’s parade with a yellow
plaid skirt and a bro\vn sweater.
Anita follows in a blue plaid skirt
and blue sweater. As skirts and
sweaters seem, to be in the lead,
Joy Gail doesn’t want to be for-
gotten so she dons a blue skirt
and sweater.
Two nice slack suits are worn
by Loetta Bragg, who owns a
blue one and Barbara June
Smith, a freshman, who owns the
other. It is a wine corduroy.
Earline Ryan is quite a “knock-
out” in her brown dress with
green and yellow saddle stitching
down the front panel.
Peggy Jo Love carries on in a
pink corduroy jumper with brown
buttons and an initial of a brown
material appliqued on the left
blouse front.
Juanita Cannon brings out a
nice gold jersey frock trimmed
in brown, green and red em-
broidered flowers.
Marie Slack dresses in a flow-
ered two-piece suit. Edna Moss is
dressed in a black crepe trimmed
in teel blue and a gold necklace.
Carolyn looks quite daring in
her red jumper with a red and
white checked blouse.
Come and see more of our
fashion parade- next week.
J girls had on old-time skirts and
blouses, some of the skirts were
full and long, some tight and
short. The boys wore old Levies,
ragged shirts, small hats, and
they also had some kind of make-
up on their face. Some of the
boys came with suits on and no
make-up. They were afraid no
one else would be dressed tacky.
These boys changed their shirts
and put make-up on.
They gave a prize to the two
tackiest persons there. Marlin
Johnson received one of the
prizes. He was dressed in old
Levies which had a red patch in
the back with a coon’s tail at-
tached to this. He wore an old
brown shirt with the sleeves cut
off to the elbows, carried a sca-
bert and two wooden guns. He
wore a black hat. He had his
front teeth blacked out and a
small mustache. He had a red J
in the center of his forehead.
Thelma Jo Walker was the
other winner. She had on Levies
with ope leg rolled up to the
knee and a red cloth tied below
her knee. She wore old boot
shoes and an old red blouse with
several pairs of beads. Her hair
was brought up on the top of
her head and tied in several sec-
tions with ribbons.
This was a grand way to spend
an evening.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF
ENTERTAINMENT
Lawrence Powell of Chalk gave
a tacky party Friday night. There
MEET THE FUTURE SENIORS
We are glad you came back
this week to meet some more of
the future seniors. The first one
we are going to introduce is Mar-
jorie Helen Anderson. Marjorie
is a rather tall and slender girl.
You can always tell her by her
friendliness. For this and many
other reasons, we are happy to
introduce her as a future senior.
The next is a very short fellow
by the name of Moore. He has
something to say to everyone and
makes excellent grades. Every-
one knows who he is—Dale
Wayne Moore.
Now who is this girl smiling
so prettily at every one? She has
dark brown hair and grey eyes.
I learned that her best friend is
everyone and if she has enemies,
we do not know them. We had
seen this girl around and when
asking her name, we found it to
be Iva Marie Payne.
Now, fellow students and
friends, I want you to meet the
vice-president of the junior class.
He has black curly hair and very
was quite a crowd there. Some'pretty teeth. The reason we no-
were dressed in old cowboy
clothes, some in old fashioned
dresses designed in the 19th cen-
tury. There were two married
couples dressed as 19th century
couples. Everyone enjoyed this
different type of entertainment
for a change. There was a lot of
laughter when everyone first ar-
rived; but who could keep from
laughing when they looked at
someone who had their teeth
blacked out, large black freckles
on their faces, hair done up in
some odd fashion. Some of th£
tice the teeth is because he smiles
so much. If you want to be
friends with a swell fellow, meet
Norwin Garrison.
Don’t forget to read the West
Wind next week so you may meet
some more future seniors.
CAMPUS CHATTER
Bruce, you haven’t met John
Lee Clary, but you Will.
Helen Mayberry is one of the
new juniors. She is from Grow.
Donald, bright colors like red I printers were on K.P. duty.”
and maroon “clash,” but we guess
we will let you go with her.
Maurice Thaxton seemed to be
having a hard time Tuesday
night. Didn’t he know there was
a Sunday School meeting?
Earl, didn’t you know that
writing notes to a freshman is
dangerous, especially Marjorie
Ruth? Donald Love and a certain
sophomore have been seen to-
gether. Has Billy H. traded rings
with a certain new senior? Ben-
jamin, did you have a good ex-
cuse? Does Randall enjoy writ-
ing two page themes in study
hall—just for fun?
Why do two certain girls want
to know where Happy, Texas is?
Pressley, is this a new affair
with an ex-senior or are we just
now catching on? Arlene is defi-
nitely becoming one of our most
promising seniors this year. Why
does Anita always get tickled
when Carolyn says the wrong
things? Who was Delwin visiting
Monday afternoon? Couldn’t be
a certain sophomore?
Everyone should always have
a caucas before any important
meeting. We Civics students
know! Bud, we wonder why you
won’t let anyone else wear your
jacket. Why did Betty Jo Moss
suddenly decide to be a rancher’s
wife? Who is Marianne’s latest?
Juanita Canon, why do you
want to go to Africa sometime?
Glen is doing all right with a
certain senior girl from Paducah.
What was Harvey’s bracelet
doing in someone’s car? Would
everybody really fall out in the
aisles if Anita and Murt came to
school with their saddle oxfords
polished? Has Marlin given the
girl’s ring back? Now, just what
do Murt and Freida have up their
sleeves for Halloween? Who is it
that’s so anxious to know?
Wanda, what certain boy from
'Valley View likes to listen to the
“Grand Ole Opery”? We see Ima
Dean and Don L. are still going
together. We hear that Max gets
advice from his neice. Norwin,
have you heard that girls don’t
make dates a week in advance?
