SANTO SATURDAYS ARE FUN because the town merchants all
come out on the street and give merchandise away. Sound
unbelievable. It's not. In the above photo, Stonewall
Jackson lets a young helper draw while Frank Thornton
looks on. Check with the merchants on how you can play,
and on exact dates of the contest.
what a bomber is. However,
I hope you don't expect
the lady who didn't know
how to kill a catfish to
know what a bomber is.
Well, anyway, I didn't.
So, I asked Rock Creek Camp
Red.
Now, since I've been going
to that fishing camp since
I was knee-high to a crap-
pie—and have been asking
Red stupid "lady fisherman"
questions almost as long—
he fielded the bomber bit
quickly.
According to Mr. Nance,
"a bomber is a plug which
looks like an old crawfish
going backwards."
So, fishermen of THE
County, the thing for you
to do is run to the nearest
tackle shop. When you get
there, tell them you want
"one of those plugs that
looks like a crawfish run-
ning backwards."
Actually, unlike me, you'll
probably be able to remember
"bomber."
At any rate, according to
the latest available sta-
tistics: Big black bass are
biting bombers. Good luck.
A creepy crawly thought.
If your youngster has a
"Creepy Crawley" set and
consistently scares you
with tiny creatures in ev-
ery color you may be in
luck.
Steal the set. Hide in the
garage, and make creepy
crawlers. Just before they
harden, place a hook in
the "plasti-goop."
Nifty artificial baits.
Note: if you have not ob-
served your child making
creepy crawlers and do not
know how—Do Not—I repeat
Do Not attempt to read the
directions.
Have your child show you
how to do it.
Robin’s
Corner
By Robin Scudder
The thirty-first of March
was marked with great mourn-
ing here at GHS (and at
other places), for it was
on that black and terrible
day that I and all of my
fellow students once again
faced the terror in the
halls of school.
To say the least, the East-
er Holiday Spoiled most of
us beyond recognition.
(You know,,before this, I
never really took a good
look at the back sides of
my eyelids. Liked what I
s aw, too !)
There were some of us, how-
ever, who actually worked or
studied to pass the time—
and school.
Anyway, all kidding aside,
it really feels pretty good
to be back at the old grind-
stone, and, as all of you
know, if you keep your nose
to the grindstone, you'll
soon have a fantastic pickle
slicer.
As the week progressed, sev-
eral more students went into
mourning because Mrs. Mc-
Millan, our school nurse,
distributed polio, DPT, and
smallpox shots on April 23.
It was really funny, watch-
ing everyone walk around
with their arm stuck up in
the air.
The good fairy finally got
tired of watching all of
us mourn, even if it was
for our own good, so she
decided to make it up to us
at the end of the week with
one of the finest FFA Father
-Son and FHA Mother-Daughter
banquets that has ever been
given at Graford.
As soon as we had stuffed
ourselves with ham and all
the trimmings and topped, it
off with strawberry short-
cake—well—then, we sat
through the terrific program
that was held. We all felt
a lot better. (See Phillip
Shewmake's, FFA reporter,
column for more details.
THE Seniors of Graford
High School are proud to
announce that their play,
which, by the way, will be
held at 8 p.m. on Friday,
April 17, is going to be,
without doubt, the most
fantastic smash comedy hit
that has ever rocked our
auditorium.
The name is "Finders
Creepers" and the price is
25C for the kids an,d 50 £
for all of us grown-ups.
Don't miss it!
That's about it for now,
so I'll close right after
my weekly words of wisdom:
"A watched pot gathers no
moss."
Peace.
