V PAIR OF OLD SHOKS
By N ancy Lee W aunh
They lay there coveretl with dust,
a remembrance of the old days. Vivid-
ly, like a flash of lightening, came
back memories of sorrow, gayiety,
friendship and heartbreak.
The memory came when they hal
just been bought. They had lain in r\
filmy coating of tissue, pale blue,
w'iap|M'd in a white -heen. They had
been so fragile looking.
Again, like a clap of thunder cam"
the memory of the fiist dance. They
had been 4vom. The light blue shoes
w ith a fussy dress.
Then came the memory of the en-1
gag< mi nt. Again, the shoes had been
w irn.
Next time they had not been worn,
but the new stiff black ones had been
taken out and their steps led to the
graveyard.
Dear Bob! The memory of him was
so bright and clear it hum. Hi*
kindly ways, his understanding and
his trust.
The years passed. Only a few tim
now were the shoes worn, because
the past.
Then came the disaster; As the
memory came back, you could only
remember voices, kindly hands, and
depp pain.
"Tick tock. tick tock.. slowly the
seconds, minutes, hours, days, and
years pass. There is no longer a hurt
but there has come a deeper under-
standing with God.
Dances, gardens, laughter, well
are they remembered, nut also mi--
«ry, it is not forgotten.
"Tick tock, tick tock." The wheel
chair is placed by a window over-
looking a vast garden. But it is dark.
"Tick tock. tick toek." AH that is
left is memories and the pair of old
shoe".
SOPHOMORE REPORT
We are all wondering why a group
of our girls are <o excited this morn-
ing. Shirley, eouldn't you and Mary
Jo - nlighten us? What is it all about ?
Jimmy Trigg needs someone to
read that old proverb "Pride always
goe- before a fall," to him. His
irrade in algebra lifted his chin to a
hieh level. Come down to Varth,
Jim.
Overlook the fact, Charlie Bob, if
we seem to take too much of the cre-
dit for your high rank as a golf play-
er, but we're proud of you, too. Nije
work, keep at it.
Another of our members withdrew
from school, Lloyd Odom, who has
been with this class for quite some
time. We miss him.
Tom Talbot recently shocked us
by not arguing once for a whole day.
What's the matter, not lipping aie
you. Tom?
When was the last time Bud Clardy
came to school a wholp week with-
out missing? 1 can't remember.
Imogene, do you think Coach
could read those notes you pass to
Welmarie? I don't. There's nothing
like trying, though.
LaVerne still doesn't know what
it's all about. She runs when you
mention Algebra.
Bei nice says she is tlreu of school.
She doesn't know it. but she voiced
• very student in high school's inner-
most feeling. Only she had the
"nerve" to express it.
Rachel, tbey won't leave you alone
will they? After all, I'll bet they
chewed gum in school, too.
Dorothy Nell ha- someway or oth-
er managed to be so good that we
know nothing about her at the mo-
ment.
Lovis comes to the front of the
room in English to give her talks or
whatever she's supposed to do, with
: irrin, determined look on her fac*
t'.iat she won't smile. She looks at
Hart fort' and away goes her resolu-
tions. We wonder why.
Which is the quietest in Algebra—
Beulah Mae, Florence, or Metta
Grace ?
Mary Ann beat Bernice in the
girl's tennis tournament, and she cer-
tainly played a nice game. Keep it
up. Mary Ann.
Miriam was defeated in this same
tournament, but she did her best,
and even though she lost, we're prcud
of her because she stayed with the
game and really tried.
Gordon and Rudolph make the
queerest noises in English. Wher"
do you get them, Gordon?
Joe must have been told over the
week-end he was an extraordinary
little boy. I beg to disagree.
Since Howard, Harold, Harvey and
Royal have been able to keep us
from finding out anything about
them. I'll say good-bye 'till we do
find something extra special about
them.
<;rin and bear it
Ameiican: Recently we saw a man
rush out and buy a war extra and
turn immedately to the comics.
