I Want To Be A Senior
I want to be a senior and with
the seniors stand;
A fountain pen behind my ear,
a notebook in my hand.
I wouldn’t be a president, I
wouldn’t be a king;
I wouldn’t be an angel, for an-
gels have to sing.
I just want to be a senior, and
never do a thing.

Not Exactly a “Pickup”
A man parked his car in
front of Fair’s Store, honked,
and waved at Joyce Smith, Sue
Beall. Peggy Chrietzberg and
Juanita Brimer as they passed
along the street in front of
Fair’s.
“Look at that silly old man,”
exclaimed Sue Beall. “I won-
der if he thinks he’s a wolf
old enough to interest us?”
However, Juanita smiled and
walked to the car and began
talking to him. None of the
girls appeared to approve of
Juanita’s conduct, - but when
she rejoined the group, she ex-
plained, “That silly old man is
my daddy.”
Sue had nothing to say, but
her face was red.

ples at the football banquet:
Sue and Donald, Ann and Bill,
Curtis and Martha, Richard
and Patsy Wells.
We are very proucl of our

day night? What about this,
Bob?
Ann R. who is your new in-
terest; could it be B. B.?
Girls, have you noticed how
cute this new student is? Joe,
give the girls a chance!
We can’t keep up with Sara
B. Is it Lindale now, Sara?

Families should keep an in-
ventory of all durable goods.
In the case of a fire, tornado,
explosion or theft, many fam-
ilies do not know exactly what
to claim as a loss when the in-
surance adjuster calls on them.
Better keep two copies—one at
home, the other in a safety, ^de-
posit box.
