F, H. A. News.
The second year homemaking
class, section I, had a Valentino'
luncheon purty during the nooni
hour. The luncheon consisted of
the following menu: Tuna iish
sandwiches, potato salad, fruit
punch uud cake with ice cream.
Entertainment was provided indi-
vidually by each girl, with song,
dance und stories. Everyone had
an enjoyable time.
in the clothing unit of home-
making II, section 1, Joyce Fowler
and Willie Mae Gates vfcue the iirst
to finish their garments. Joyce
made a blouse and Willie Mae a
skirt. Congratulations, girls. Each
member of the class is to make
three garments before the end of
the term.
Monday afternoon the homemak-
ing III class enjoyed two movies:
“Mrs. Dunning Goes to Town,”
which was over different hair styles
and their importance to our looks;
and “The King Who Came to Break-
fast," which concerned the im-
portant of eating breakfast every
morning.
Komments From the Korral.
Becky Austin certainly seemed
to be having a very nice time in
Houston Saturday morning. Tell
ug more about the guy under the
ten gallon hat, Becky.
Mrs. Piccinati came back to
school Monday with a very radiant
smile. It seems that Mr. Piccinati
was home over the week end.
it seems that one of our seniors
is stepipng out on us. Could it be
that Trois Marthiljohnl was seen
with a Yoakum Bulldog Saturday
night?
The saying “True love never runs
smooth" seems to he the case with
the Crabb-Mlller romance this
week. Where was Wayne Satur-
day night, Marge?
Roger Melton seems to be playing
the field. Since the holidays he
has® not been seen with the same
girl twice. Keep up the good work,
Roger.
The Alrbart-Greenawalt romance
seems to be going to the rocks
lately.
Dorothy Paul seems to have
found the man she wants, hut there
are some exceptions to the rules,
isn’t there?
Margie Sklar, why so sad?
Henry be back soon, or do you care?
Ellarien Gaubatz, why not ac-
cept some of those dates. You
can’t work all the time.
Norma Sue seems to be very
lonesome now that Cecil left.
If you hear any wolves howling
when Ruth Cavel walks down the
hall, think nothing of it because they
have done it' all along. Now they
can do it openly because Ruth
isn’t going steady. Just ask Per-
ry Campbell and Jamie Denard.
Why is it Calvin Dale Wilkerson
is never seen with a girl? Maybe
it Is because the girls in EHS do
not meet his requirements.
Coach Albert says the women
have been chasing after him so that
bis "Cadillac” just isn’t big enough.
If yon noticed Saturday night he
bad traded his “Cadillac” for a pick-
up. Maybe this is big enough.
Right, coach.
It seems the oldest Tinker boy
and a certain little sophomore fav-
orite like each other's company. Is
that true, Tommy and Commie?
