THIS AND THAT
Monday afternoon, a film of
Texas Industries and Resource*,
was shown to students of Sen-
ior and Junior High Schools
at the High School Aditcrium.
Mr. Cole had charge of the
show.
In assembly Wednesday af-
ternoon, Bobby Creech was
elected to be the master of cer-
emonies of all programs for the
remainder of the school term.
It was agreed also that if Bob-
by were not present, Bennie
Sinclair was to take his place.
Why do all of the students
seem so blue lately? Could it
be that they got their report
cards Thursday?
Everyone seemed to have a
wonderful time at the banquet
Friday night. The decorations
were beautiful, and the food
was a treat in itself. Good
work!
Wednesday’s assembly, given
by Mrs. Jennings, was very en-
joyable. The Wills Point Or-
chestra was very good.
A new student, Myrna Beth
Horton, came to the fold Wed-
nesday. She is a veil^^cute
blonde sophomore. Myrna is
from Quitman. She has lived
here, but had moved away.
We’re glad to have you back,
Myrna Beth!
