THE SEINE
Seniors Make The News This Week;
What Happened To Paul's Arm?
By PAT, CAROL, AND MARY
The Seniors had a wonderful
time at the party Mr. Smith gave
for them Tuesday. Karen especial-
ly enjoyed her boat ride.
Coach-a-mo almost got wet at
the river Wednesday. (She went
to the band picnic). Other people
swam and ate and something hap-
pened to Donnie Faye's shoe. What
were all those girls doing in the
woods? Hunting armadillo, maybe.
Seems like most of the news
this week has been made by
Seniors. They left here Friday, on
schedule, for their trip to Ban-
dera. The Kahlichs, the Sheltons,
and the Smiths went with the kids.
Everybody rode horses and swam
and some others had pillow fights,
water fights, just plain fights, and
assorted fun (?) Donnie had a lit-
tle trouble with a pebble in his
bed. Did Edward (Blackburn)
finally decide how to ride his
horse? Oh, yes, and they had a
hayride.
Everybody's getting ready for
graduation—6th graders, Fresh-
men, Seniors. Finals were Wednes-
day and people can think about
something else for a change.
|Why won't Paul tell anybody
what happened to his arm?
The Sports Picnic is today.
Rosemary is a regular litle air-
conditioner at high school.
What's Carol Ann planning to
do next summer? Boy, has she got
plans!
We wonder i'f Shirley can giggle
as much as Harold. Probably
Gladys could tell us ?
Last week's question and an-
swer: Why does Mr. Carvin like
to check books, Because there's
always a chance of finding a fill-
in-the-blank note.
Which Junior High girls have
been trying to "Jump The Gun"?
Ask C. C.
We know several people who are
determined to pass algebra and
geometry. Artists?
Our question of the week; Who
might Bobby Partain be going
steady with next week?
Congratulations, graduates of
DEAR Ole PHS (and PJHS) (and
elementary!)
