Joyce Sheppard Melon Vine Queen
HEARSAY FROM
HENSLEE
As we come back to the good ole
halls of the W.H.S. let’s review a
little of what’s been going on. As
we enter the auditorium we hear a
few yells that don’t sound so very
loud. We venture a little farther,
and there we find everyone in his
regular place and all other business
out of the way. The rest of the time
was given to the pep leaders. No one
was yelling very loud, so one of
our good teachers made a very in-
spiring speech. After that, all was
well and we were showing the foot-
ball boys what we really thought of
them. We really want to thank you
Miss Davis for lifting the spirits of
the whole student body.
* *
Congratulations to the football
boys for their choice of the football
Sweetheart. You couldn’t have made
a better one. Here’s wishing you all
the luck Jo Ann in helping the boys
to win the rest of the games.

If you happen to hear, '‘Oh! what
happened to you? Does it hurt? How
did you do it? Who was driving?”
Don’t get alarmed because it’s only
someone asking Joyce Sheppard
what happened to her. She had a
little trouble in staying in back of a
pick-up while John Martin was
driving. It just so happened that
John decided not to turn a corner
in which he had decided and Joyce
wasn’t holding on arid fell out. Al-
though she seems to be doing fine
now. You had better be a little more
careful next time John in turning
your corners.
* * *
We also wish to express our ap-
preciation to everyone who was at
the Weatherford-Mineral Wells foot-
ball game who helped the cheer-
leaders by co-operating in giving
the yells. I know you did your best.
* * * *
It seems that everyone attended
the weiner roast given by the Fu-
ture Homemaker’s at Holland’s
Lake. There seemed to be around
500 there. Pretty good, don’t you
think?
