in his heart in the movie line. Read-
ing and hunting are his main hob-
bies and pastime. He likes all types
of sports. History is strictly out for
him. He doesn’t like it, period! His
ambition is to be a pilot. He also de-
sires to go to college, preferably at
Fort Worth, but if he can’t go there
he’ll try to be satisfied with Canyon.

There is talk around

Cranberries not only brighten the
meal but they taste very good with
the rest of the meal.
Dessert, well that might be plum
pudding or pumpkin pie.
Then the last thing of this big
feast might be called the most un-
welcomed thing is the stomach ache.

It required 135 tons of American bombs to set these fires at the Jap oil
refinery in Balikpapen, Borneo. The U. S. planes of the 5th and 13th Air
Forces responsible for the raid knocked down 46 Nip planes which attacked
as interceptors. More U. S. planes can start more fires in enemy-Teld ter-
ritory. Your money placed in War Bonds will help buy those planes.

My Way, Bing Crosby, and Diana
Lynn are very well thought of by
him. Teaching history is his ambi-
tion, but he doesn’t know as yet
where he wants to attend college. If
you sat by him for just a little while,
you’d be speedy in discovering that
pestering people is his pastime and
I’ll tell you he almost gets you ready
for the nut-house. One of his faults
goes right along with his pastime
and that’s picking up girls (Hes on-
ly interested in girls), fountain pens
just for the fun of it you know. Al-
though he’s just a beginner in typ-
ing. he realy can peck those keys
and by the way typing happens to
be his favorite subject.

of turkey this year it was chicken

One of the earliest foods was corn

we usually use corn.

Well, the old Miss Gossip has
grown quite old and gray from try-
ing to keep up with her little child-
ren, so she will close hoping she will
not be in too bad health to write
you next week.
So long,
Miss Gossip.

PERSONALITIES
Rosella Looten
Rosella is a brown haired, cat ey-
ed, freckled Sophomore. She’s 5’ 2”
tall and weighs 102 pounds. Fried
chicken, red, basketball, and math
are all favorites of hers. Lassie
Come Home rates as number one
among the movies she’s seen. She
hates cooked cabbage tremendously.
Girls that are mischievous and sort
of silly are just the type she likes,
as you’ve probably' gathered by the
ones she runs around with. You
know, Martha Britten and those
guys. She likes any type of clothes
other than shirts and blouses and
when anyone gives her a skirt, sister
soon finds herself as the owner of
a new skirt. Her worst fault is sleep-
ing in class and—oh, how she does
hate the sight of a dish-pan and a
pile of dirty dishes.
Norbert Kuehler
All of you have seen that 6’, 190
pound guy that works in the grocery
store after school, well, that’s Nor-
bert. Brown hair, cat eyes and dark
complexion all belong to him. Going

Dear Louise:
Well, here comes Miss Gossip
again to tell you all the happinin’
and whereabouts of G. H. S.
I suppose you are wondering what
some of the high school students
were doing over the Thanksgiving
holidays. It seems that Rozella was
having a good time Sunday and
especially when she got cold feet.
Faye is another one of the girls that
gets around pretty good. We are
wondering where she was Sunday
afternoon and evening.
You know the other day I was at
the dance and somebody came up and
said, “Well, well, who is Bill Brit-
ten making eyes at tonight.” Keep
it up Bill, she’s really pretty. Joanne
also seemed to be having a good
time at the dance even though her
G. I. Joe stood her up. Rosie, an-
other one of these gad-abouts was
escorting a good-looking, G. I., too.

enough to be Freshmen.
More people were seen around
Claude Sunday evening. I. wonder if
it is the boys or was it the show
that attracted them.
There are some girls around here
that like to go out with a wet head, ,
especially after a basketball game. :
Of course I guess we’ll have to ex- 1
cuse them for they are mere child- 1
ren from the Junior and Senior ,
classes.
Did you know the Sophomore girls
are getting popular with other boys
and especially from other towns? I
heard that Nancy wrote a note and
told Frances Ficke to deliver it at
Canyon, only. Betty Jean must have ,
had a good time at Claude Thurs-
day. Do you notice she is very quiet (
lately ? - '
Kathryn Stapp is supposed to re- ‘
eeive a letter from Goodnight. His
name is Frank Peedin.
Johnny Bill must have found him
a girl at the dance Thursday and boy
was he stepping it out. Oh, yes, I
saw Joanne and Page Blackwell to-
gether the other day. Wonder how
long it will last? I think somebody
ought to give Norman some advice,
because a certan girl sure misses
him when he’s not there. I believe
Gordie was supposed to go out and
get Nancy, but you know what?
Well, he stopped to see Evelyn
Quirk and didn’t complete his
journey onward.’ Ruby McLaughlin
reports that it is thrilling to be in
the arms of a G. I. Joe. Could be,
because she wasn’t here for the
holidays.
Many of the boys and girls are
wondering if Ruby Jean still likes
Billy Fields, “You can just keep
wondering.” she replied. Maybe we
had better ask Pete. Do you thing
he’d know?
Juanita’s cousin from Colorado
was here for Thanksgiving and I
think the other girls will agree with
me that we’ll have to watch our
home-town boys if we want them
here very long.
Maudie, one of our “dignified”
Freshmen has been very lonesome
lately. She has almost worn the west
side of main street out. Do you know
why?
I have heard of girls writing notes
but putting a mirror on ones desk
to watch ones boy friend is a new i
ne on me. ‘
