We're happy. There will be a
band at the dance Saturday. And
that's just about the sum of this
week's news—the dance, that is.
Talk to anybody ten minutes and
you'll see what we mean.
Edgar Reed is home >v?a!n,
after a summer in cool Colorado.
We know the Hornets are glad
he's going to school here.
Who rented a rowboat Friday
and why? Ask Dinky.
Roy doesn't really like to go
wading.
Billie and Sallie came home Sun-
day.
Last week we forgot to mention
Bernie's car. Guess everybody's
seen it by now. It sure is neat.
Eugene painted his car a gor-
geous green.
Why did everybody get so ex-
cited over a certain item last
week? If the shoe fits. . . It
seemed to be a popular size!
Joan is home again—to stay,
this time. Her hair looks so pretty.
Robbie Robinson of Premont,
Texas, is visiting her grandmother
here until Monday the 27th. Her
sister Frances may come Satur-
day.
We like the new water fountain
at the Dairy—o-o-p-s—we mean
the Milk Store. . .
Why was Edward so tired ?
Johnny sure spends a lot of his
time visiting. We dont suppose
you all have any idea WHERE.
What is that boy's name, Lela
Belle?
If you want to learn to dance
see Clark Jackson. He says he
can teach anybody.
Somebody took a wrong turn
(we wonder!) Sunday and wound
up in Bay City.
Youth Club News:—There were
about 100 kids there Saturday
night and several children—(there
is a difference.) We really need
our own building now so the
"little" kids can have their own
night. Chaperones were: Mr. and
Mrs. Red Richards, Mrs. Ward
Cook, Mrs. Ernest Janes and Mrs.
Don Batchelder.
We voted for a band and decided
everybody would pay 50 cents to
get in at (the Back-To-S<"|'iool
dance.
Everybody had a good time.
But that's not anything new.
Record department: We like the
"Answer to Flying Saucer", also
"Let The Good Times Roll."
Question of the week; Will we
have a good football team? (Don't
expect this to be answered before
late November).
Mystery of the week: Who
busted Blank's head the other day
while swimming at the Tres-Pala-
cios?
The Collegeport Presbyterian
women held their regular month-
ly meeting in the church on Thurs-
