Thru the Key Hole
By Miss Terious
Seen together round and about:
Wayne, Chandler and two Culwells^
Mary Francis and A. W.; Ray, Tino,
and Raymond; Mac Hall and Sybil;
Charles and La Frieda; Sandy and
Mary Ellen; Eugene and Norma;
Jeanne, and David; and this will sur-
prise you, Lester and Anne.
Wonder if Betty and Mary Lou
were lost when they stopped in at
the Barber’s Sunday?
Could Bill Miller have anything to
do with the difficult time Wilma
Berkley has in listening in biology
class.
Have you seen those cute pictures
Mildred has of her baby sister and
her—George?
Leap year seems to have caught
Eugene Richards. He is wearing a
diamond ring (on his little finger).
I’ll bet Onie Mae’s heart flipped
when Wiley wore that cute brown
suit, Wednesday.
It is rumored that J. B. Hall’s cute
little ex-dummer from Mineral
Wells High, may start to school at
Weatherford.
I saw Harold Owen and Joyce
Hayes entering Wood’s together Sat-
urday night.
Mac, Juanita, Garwood and Toot-
sie must have had a swell time Fri-
day night.
