THE GRASS BURR
PAGE THREE
Old fashioned
snow ball fight is enjoyed by these high school schools over the county Tuesday. Warming
students as they return to classes Wednesday trends today are making short work of the re-
following snowy and icy weather that closed maining snow and ice in open places.
Cold Day Mark Weatherford History
The cold weather caused more than
just a joyful holiday for the school-
age children and teenagers this
week.
Various wrecks hampered Weather-
ford this week due to the extreme
amount of snow on the streets. Bob-
by Tarpley, senior WHS student, was
one of the unlucky persons who had
damage done to his car when he was
involved in an accident at the inter-
section of South Main and Lee.

well-known WHS coaches, was also
involved in an accident at the inter-
section of Live Oak Lane and Lamar.
Bryant Caraway reported that bus-
ses couldn’t be running on time Tues-
day because the engines were too
cold to even staid!
Flu really took a booming rise
during the cold spell. The attendance
in the Weatherford Independent Sch-
ool District dropped below the “good”
level this week.
The weather was supposed to have
hit one of the lowest marks Weather-
ford has experienced in some time.
The lowest mark was 4 degrees above
0 Thursday morning.
Well-pumps, car speedometers, and
motor blocks were ruined because of
intense cold Weatherford experienc-
ed. The Central Heating in some of
the Weatherford homes did not even
begin to heat-up the house.
Weatherford will always remember
this cold spell! It marked one of the
lowest in Weatherford history.

Church School
Roma Lee Hall, who was a familiar
face around Weatherford High
School last year, is now attending
Stuart Hall, an Episcopal school for
girls at Stantonl Virginia, where she
is a Junior.
Stuarit Hall, located in the rolling
hills of Virginia, “has a pictures-
que campus” stated Roma in an inter-
view while she was home for the
Christmas holidays. There are about
15 gilds attending the girl’s school,
where the curriculum is a very hard
one.
“There are girls from ah over the
1 United States and South America at-
I tending Stuart Hall. Two other girls
from Texas are atending the school,
one from Abilene, the other from Ft.
Worth”, Roma said. “Naturally, the
! three of us being from Texas, gave
us something in common being so
far away from home and our famil-
; ies. I was pretty homesick at first,”
i s aid Roma.
Although there are a lot of ad-
vantages going to private school, Ro-
ma really misses Weatherford. Roma
plans to attend WHS next year when
she will be ia Senior.
Roman stated “Going to Stuart Hall
is an experience that I will never for-
get, but I feel that I would be missing
something if I did not graduate from
Weatherford High School with my
friends.”

Students in Mr. G. A. Reynold’s
j English Classes experienced a dif-
| ferent type of educational treat
j Thursday January 10.
i Mr. Reynolds took a; lot of moving
! pictures on his 1955 vacation. Mr.
1 Reynolds and his family toured New
! Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California,
Montana, Idaho, and the Texas pan-
| handle. His movies featured all the j
j.points of scenic attraction and' Mr.
j Reynolds narrated the film making it
an informative study of the featured
I areas. t f
The main attraction of the film was
the coverage of a double-murder on
Mr. Reynolds Spring town farm in
1959.
Two Fort Worth hoodlums were try-
ing to elude the Texas Rangers and
Highway officers when they melt their
tragic death. One, Gene Paul Norris,
was riddled with 16 bullets and the
other was shot about 23 times. None
of the officers were wounded. Mr.
Reynolds recalls that night as one
with very little sleep for Springtown
residents.

WHS Students
Enjoy Holiday
Several WHS students enjoyed
themselves in the unexpected snow
on Tusday whn the school was clos-
ed because of the weather.
If you happened to have been out
by Sunshine Lak you would have
seen Billy Van and Kaye Bodiford
feeding Billy Van’s horse in the snow.
While driving along Russell Street
you have probably felt sorry for Sher-
ri Woodard, Sharon Towery, Stella
Hudson, and Martha Pryor because
they were being mercilessly bombar-
ded with snowballs by Jim Thomp-
son, Newton Perkins, Mike Beard,
A. D. Preston, and Duane Lamb.
Stella Hudsbn and Sharon Towery
took their daily exercise despite; the
snow. They walked from Stella’s house j
to Sherri Woodard’s house way on the
i other side of town.
' It seems Donna Roark had a little
engine trouble during the snow day.
Just because Donna, Margaret Jordan
and Doylene Rockwell would not open
their car door to boys armed with
snowballs, the boys poured the snow
on Donna’s motor. Lyndia Hackett
! found the roads a little slick when
she ran her car off into a ditch. She
tried to melt the ice with a window
defroser, but this didn’t work. How-
I ever, some kind-hearted garbagemen
i finally pulled Lyndda’s car out.
