“It is this type of bond
which, in the final analysis, the
government is most anxious to

County came through well,” the
chairman said.

would our armies be if the Tex-
ans had stopped at Salerno or
Tarawa? They are burning up
a lot of gun powder. It’s up to
folks back home to keep the
war bonds rolling if they are to
keep the guns firing and the
tanks rolling.

ANNUAL PARTY
Friday, Feb. 11, the football
boys and Pep Squad girls got
together for the usual annual
party at the close of each seas-
on. It was a little late this year
due to bad weather conditions.
The fun began at 8 o’clock in
the H. E. room. Many games
both new and old were played.
The sponsor, Miss Baisdon, pre-
sented the drum major, Pauline
Payne, a box of lovely station-
ery and a linen handkerchief.
Then in turn Miss Baisdon gave
each Senior pep squad girl a
beautiful linen handkerchief.
Refreshments of. sandwiches,
cookies and punch were served
(and very plentiful at that).
Games were continued until
time to end the happy occasion.
SENIOR NEWS
The senior girls want to
thank the sponsor and the Pep
Squad girls for such nice gifts.
We want you to know that we
have enjoyed working with the
girls and we wish for you much
‘ success in the years to come.
JUNIOR NEWS
The annual Junior play will
be given soon in the auditorium
of Wallis high school. “The
; Home Front” is a patriotic play
suitable for amateur production.
We believe that the play will
meet with your hearty appro-
L val. The date will be announced
later.
