Folks, take care
of that car of
yours. After a long
drive you should
bring it into us and
let us see if there
isn't some little
something that
needs to be done,
and right away.
When you come to
THE VACUUM CLEANER
(We Pick Up All Dirt)
Bennie Frances certainly had
a shock Sunday evening, didn’t
you, Frances?
Neva Joyce was seen riding
with a boy from Shamrock Sun-
day. Tell us more, Neva.
Mary Jo, who is this charac-
ter we have been hearing so
much about lately? Is it a dream
man?
Rudy Rochelle seems to like
to use fifth period for his own
personal rest period. We might
suggest some where besides the
gym, though.
Joann, just what was the
trouble between you and that
Crosbyton boy last week? We
all wonder.
Betty Lou and Bill seem to
have had a little trouble. Just
what is wrong, Betty?
We saw Freddie Allen and
Hoyt Russell together at the
Lockney game.
Some people are wondering
just what Mr. Williams meant
by the riddle, KMITHS.
Neva Biddy is our football
queen this year. Congratulations,
Neva.

Floycille White was the envy
of the girls around PHS when
she came to school with a green
and brown checked jacket worn
over a tight brown skirt.
Everyone noticed Sybil’s red
sweater and red plaid skirt.
Joyce Spencer was seen in
a cute plaid dress.
Shirley Walker was sparkling
in a pink, cap-sleeved sweater
trimmed in gold.
June Fry looked charming in
a red velvet skirt and white
sweater.,
Mr. Whetstone looked rather
dashing in the brown and white
checked sport coat and trousers
to match.
Quite a few boys were seen
sporting overalls and plaid
shirts this week.
Carl Menger was the rage
of PHS when he enrolled in
school in his maroon letter
sweater.
Miss Frasier looked very neat
in her trim orchid dress.
Betty Jane Bennett’s plaid,
two-piece dress was noticed by
all.
Mrs. Hall stunned everyone at
the Lockney football game in
her grey, three piece suit with
a matching hat.
Charlotte McDonald looked
very warm in her green sweat-
er with red arm bands and
grey yolk.
Kay Murphy looked like a
sweet little character in her
pink, brown and green plaid
blouse.
Annie Hayes wore a very
pretty blue sweater with red
and white stripes.
Jo Lynn’s pink angora sweat-
er was the envy of all.
Mary Lou’s plaid skirt was
very gay and noticeable. It was
red, grey, and black plaid.
Joy Lynn looked very neat
wearing her grey sweater with
green and black stripes worn
over a white silk blouse.
Ruth Ann was. in our spotlight
this week when she wore her
green three-piece corduroy suit.
Sybil Mayberry’s yellow
sweater-blouse is very pretty
on her. She sometimes wears
it with a straight black and
white skirt.
Cozette Copeland looked
especially nice in her all-color-
ed plaid one-piece dress. With
it she wore black ^nkle strap
shoes.
Shoes trimmed with fur are
seen worn in P.H.S. these days.
Floycille, June, Annie and
Betty Sue are the proud owners
of these shoes.
Shirley Fry looked very cute
in her velvet two-piecer. It had
a pink top and wine skirt.
Jimmie B. looked very nice
when she appeared wearing a
grey dress buttoned down the
front.
Fashions irlclude other things
besides clothes, you mustn’t for-
get. Gale Biddy has been carry-
ing a picture of a very hand-
some Marine these days.
Sometimes the boys rate
fashions in the West Wind. This
week we would like to mention
some of the boy’s sweaters.
Billy Tom has a pretty tan one
with red deer.
Carl, a newcomer, wears a
new one every day, but his
maroon sweater with different
colored figures deserves special
mention.
Pat Green, another one of
our Farmers, came to work in
his overalls and plaid shirt.
Sherry Kirk looked very petite
in her purple suit worn with
a yellow blouse.
This was written by three
distinguished students of PHS
do not wish to have their
js mentioned.

TO EACH HIS OWN
The following poem is dedi-
cated to Mr. Williams by Juanita
Crider.
CHEWING GUM
They advertise all kinds of
gum,
And so I thought that I’d try
some.
Everything went along just
swell,
Until my teacher caught me.
Well . . .!
It’s funny. I care for gum
no more.
Give me anything else in
the store.
Stay after school is okay for
some,
But me—I’ll just forget my
gum!

THE SOCIAL CIRCLE
By Bighorn and Whetstone
After not having a column
last week we will try to give
you a little of the - news of
P.H.S.
Neva Joyce was seen stepping
out with some boys from Sham-
rock over the week-end. We
wonder what a certain soldier
will say.
Two of our old buddies went
to Ft. Worth last week-end. Of
course it was Bratton and Biddy.
There must be something down
there that they are really stuck
on.
Well Well, our old friend
June has settled down lately
and has been true to her steady.
This surely has knocked two
boys out.
We see that Mr. K. is sport-
ing d new car. He says that it
is a great improvement over
his “T” Model. Also there will
be a small charge if you ride
with him.
Joe and Jackie have found
the solution to the girl problem.
They have found some girls in
Childress that will flirt with
them. This is hard to believe
but we understand that, it is
true. The poor girls must not
know what they are getting in-
to.
It seems as though everybody
has great plans for the Thanks-
giving holidays. Everybody have
a good time but don’t get too
wild and wooly.
Has Frances been chasing
someone lately or is it the other
way around? Maybe Rochelle
could straighten this out.
If you see some boys going
about in a daze, don’t think
anything about it. They are
just thinking of the games they
could have won and didn’t on
a Pin Ball Machine. Of course
it doesn’t bother Rochelle; he
never wins anyway.
All of the girls in PHS have
gone wild over a certain boy
that has moved in. His name
is Carl. Wonder who will catch
him first? Shirley Walker sure-
ly made a stab by walking up
and down the aisle. (Note from
an observer: Remember; boys,
how YOU rushed new girls?)’
Shirley Kirk was seen step-
ping out with some boys from
Floydada last week. What will
certain people say about this?
The first period study hall
has really been in an uproar
this week. What is it that is
doing it?
Perry Allen has been making
it to school about one day a
week lately. Last week Perry
came to school his one day,
and of course he arrived on the
day that the English class was
having a test over Macbeth.
Some of the girls on the pep
squad bus surely like to whis-
