WHAT IS BOOK WEEK
Book Week—we have heard these words
since our ward school days. Isn’t it time we
did something about them? During this
week, from November 10 to November 16,
special emphasis is placed on reading really
good books and magazines instead of “dime
novels” and comic books.
Many wonderful and unusual opportuni-
ties to obtain good books will be made in
libraries and book stores all over the nation.
In our own library various types of good
books will be on display.
The authorities tell us we should extend
Fire Prevention Week and National Safety
Week throughout the whole year. Why not
do the same with Book Week? Isn’t it just as
important to read good books in January,
June, and July, as it is in November.
—Dorothy Hubbard.
UNITED WE STAND
Only when its backers are one hundred
percent behind it is a project of comparative-
ly small size or one of immense scope and
structure bound for unquestionable success.
In high school as well as any club or organi-
zation, be it community-wide or of national
scope, unity behind a project, contest or drive
will always win through to the joy of its sup-
porters.
Our school is constantly on the jump with
varied activities, contests and projects being
sponsored by the many clubs and organiza-
tions, yet they seem to be made of the real
enthusiasm that has been prevalent in past
years. Let’s all get behind the activity or pro-
ject we are connected with and give it all our
best.
—Charles McBride.
Roving Reporter
What is the Meanest Hallowe’en Trick You
Ever Played?
Raymond Crane — Took porch chairs
away.
Bill Barber—Stuck doorbells and turned
over flower pots.
Judy Culwell—Me?? Goodness, you know
I’m a good little girl.
Wayne Carter—Rang doorbells and tore
down signs.
Jerry Hayes—How could you ask such a
thing! You know I never did anything mean.
STICKERS
Grass Burr Fotos
The time comes again that “Snoop-
ing Sadie” has a report to make.
Here’s a piece of good news, ‘Dodie”
Sullivan and Ann Milburn were
seen together at the Stephenville
game. Hope you kids get back “on
the beam”.
Vance Reeder and Joyce Hudson
have still been seen around. Are
you sure this time, Joyce?
Will Taylor seemed to enjoy the
college girls’ basketball game. Could
it be because ex-Frances Pittman
was playing? Could be!
Maxine Waters certainly seems to
enjoy the company of Duwayne
Dobbs.
Bobby Stone and Nona McMakin
have been doing OK lately. Keep
up the good work “Stony”.
Why does Marjorie Ann Mayo
enjoy going to Breckenridge so
well? Could it be a guy named
Buryi?
Bonnie Wright doesn’t seem in-
terested in any “men” in school any
more. Her interests are all for that
ex-sailor, Edwin Key.
Between their little “spats ex-
W.H.S.’er Clyde and “Jodie” seem
to be doin’ all the good.
In case some of you can’t find
Jack Vincent, just ask Bobbie. She
can always tell you. Yes sirree. -
The Mineral Wells game brought
out some new couples. Duncan Mc-
Cauley and Anne Richardson, Ali-
cia Grimes and ex-Mac Jones,
James Langford and Dorothy Wat-
son, Shirley Whaley and Earl John-
ston, and Ollie Marie James and
Bill Leach. Helen Keeling and Jack
Cox were also at the game together.
Too bad she had to move, eh Jack?
Say boys, take notice Joyce Shep-
pard (the “little” girl with the ban-
daged head) is still roaming the
halls unescorted. You wouldn’t
want her to get lonesome, would
you?
Buddy Barnes surely does seem
interested in Junior High. Could Jo
Allen have something to do with it?
Jo Ann Nichols and Milfred Mea-
dows are still “beamin’,” but I’ll bet
Jo Ann misses him while he’s in
Missouri.
Emelda Short and Bill Kirks sure-
ly do “go” for each other. Look at
their eyes sparkle when they look
at each other.
Shelby Mercer and Lowell Sulli-
van surely do seem to enjoy a couple
of sophomore’s company. Could
they be Bonieta Lou Walden and
Mary Clay?
Funny Facts-—
By Dorothy Hubbard
I jumped with glee,
I danced with joy,
For I was here
Before Kilroy.
—Porter Randal.
Bobbye Wells is having trouble
with the muffler on her car. Those
bangs, crashes, and roars you have
been hearing occur only when the
muffler is dragging or is complete-
ly off.
The pick-up Joyce Sheppard was
riding in rounded the bend but
Joyce went straight. Result—one
slightly bruised and cut-up girl.
This week our spotlight is again on three
deserving students of W.H.
S.
First, we have an out-
standing member of the
senior class, Merilyn Mey-
er. We may describe Mari-
lyn as an attractive blue-
eyed blond, standing about
5 feet 7 inches and weighing 118 pounds.
Marilyn’s popularity is proved by her
membership in many worthwhile organiza-
tions. She is president of her home room,
president of her Home Economics class, re-
porter of the F.H.A., Student Council repre-
sentative, a twirler in the band, a member
of the Camera Club, J. C. L., and Melon Vine
Staff. She is a very versatile member, also
having the ability to sing, dance, draw and
speak; she does any one of these with equal
skill. With all of these outside activities she
still finds time to make excellent grades in
all her subjects.
Marilyn has a number of things she likes.
Her favorites are whipped cream, lemon pie,
tennis, ping pong, and any kind of math un-
der Miss Frances Smith. Marilyn doesn’t like
“people who are always complaining”.
After graduating Marilyn plans to attend
T.SJJ.W. and become a sofeool teacher. So we
say to you;-keep up the good work!
JUNIORS—Now we have a very popular
member of the Junior Class
none other than Allen Mar-
tin. Allen is 5 feet 10 inches
tall and weighs 120 pounds.
Allen’s height, personality,
blond hair and blue eyes
make him a favorite with
the students and especially
the girls.
You’ll find Allen an outstanding member
of a number of activities around school. He is
a Junior cheerleader, and is vice president of
the Junior class, and a member of the Hi-Y
and J. C. L.
Allen thinks football games are tops and
basketball and tennis run close as seconds.
He really takes to spinach and thick, juicy
steaks. He is one of the few who have no par-
ticular dislikes.
Allen is uncertain about college days but
would prefer to spend the mat either T. U.,
A. & M., or Baylor if possible. Best of luck
to a swell fella who will succeed at anything
he attempts.
SPHOMORE—And here’s our representa-
tive from the Sophomore
iMHNHHll class—that cute little blond
Nancy Young. Nancy reach-
es the height of 5 feet 2%
inches and tips the scales
at 110 pounds.
Nancy is a busy girl
since she is president of her
Home Economics Class, Social Chairman of
F.H.A., secretary of the Sophomore Class,
second Consul of first year Latin class, and
member of the Melon Vine Staff and Student
Council.
She likes most people, ice cream, reading,
football, dancing, swimming, and especially
boys. She definitely does not like rainy days
and getting up early in the morning.
After she graduates, Nancy plans to go to
Brantley-Draughn Business College and be-
come a secretary. We all wish the best of
luck to a good girl!
