We'd
better hurry up and win a game, cause I'm runnin' out of things to
talk about. If I can't say something nice about the team I won't say
anything. Oh well, pretty soon it'll be basketball season and I'll
have all the victories I need to talk about. That is, if some wise
guy over at Seabreeze doesn't bust Dewey or Jack in half. By the way
Dew, how's everything up at U. of F.? I'm sure the tour of the campus
was a very sobering experience for you.
Touring the campus beings to mind a problem we have
right here at our Alma Mater. That is, the parking problem in the
bask of the school. Unless the late arrivals don't use a little more
discretion in where they leave their bombs, we're all going to lose
the privilege of parking on that field. When parking out back try
to remember these rules. Utilize as little space as possible. Don't
block anyone's entrance or exit. Do not park in anyone's driveway,
Do not form a second line in the field. Park only in the designated
areas. Do not park on the front lawn unless your car is orange and
black. Do not park in the main hall or in front of the fire hydrant.
Rest rooms are designated as compact car parking areas only. Do not
get caught parking on campus after dark with a date. Do not pass Go,
do not collect $200, and go directly to jail. Oops wrong game.
I guess you all heard about the new Youth Center
to be built near Ward Park. The land it is to be built on has been
declared above the high water mark but just to be safe the architects
included a boat launch and a wharf in the plans for the parking lot.
I'm sure it'll come in handy during the rainy season. Since the last
rainy season, the water level in Ward Park has subsided considerably.
The top three rows of the stands can now easily be seen from the road. |

Hey
Cats! There have been quite a few afternoon "get-togethers"
the past two months. The girls all show up in the most adorable
matching outfits. For instance, seen at one affair was Connie Shoup
in a lavender and white jersey slack-set and lavender shoes to match.
At this same "hen party" Lynn Ricks wore red and white
print slacks with a sailor type blouse to match and red flats. By
the way, Lynn made it herself. What else are you sewing for the
"man in your life?"
As the weather got colder Sue Sturges sported
a coral shaggy sweater and wool slacks to match. She looked cute
as could be. How many pounds, Sue?
The cleverest idea I've seen lately, though, was
that of Suzanne MacMillan. When asked when she got her blue bermuda
and blouse combination, she gave a great big grin and "confessed"
she remade one of her mom's dresses!

Wheels
Hold Wash
|
Car washes certainly
are popular these days as moneymakers! The Wheel Club gave theirs
on Saturday, Nov. 5, and literally turned Huntington Ave. into a sea
of soap. The members worked in shifts, morning and afternoon, and
washed until their hands were stubs. Seen sporting the latest in torn
bermudas, old sweat shirts, and bare feet were Jim Crawford, John
Rutland, Jess Leish, John Prevatt, David Pughe, Chris Bauer, Steve
Stevenson, Jim Appleman, Bob Finfrock, Tim Hartung, Gary Dokter, Clark
Lambert, Dick Schroeder, Buster Judy, Greg Holland, Ray Myers and
Eric Firchow.
Oddly enough, the girls watching almost outnumbered
the workers! At least they came in style. Piled in various makes of
racy convertibles were Judy Wingate, Julie Haynie, Carol Tennesson,
Fran Ussery, Jacque Cook, Sharon White, Jane Mitchell, Judy Kirkpatrick
(possibly because TIM was there?), Susie Miller, Marny van Nymmegan,
Sherry Vines, Donna Mueller, Helen Grabber, Susie Gray, and Jeannie
Jones. Do much washing, girls?
Watch for the next wash ... they're a great way
to keep the 'ole buggy' clean, and support our clubs too! |

Here's hoping everyone's
recovered from the election; especially Donna Newberry and Sue Tinklepaugh,
two die-hard Republicans!
Jackie Billingham was certainly Mr. Popularity several
Sundays ago. Seems as if a few SENIOR gals and even a couple of juniors
heard that Jack was painting his house and needed a little help so
... between 2:30 and 5:30 cars arrived, full of girls. Miss Cook loaded
up her little Volkswagen and over she came; a certain Nash Metropolitan
carrying Suzie and Carole made the scene, as did Judy's convertible,
and a dirty Ford. There were even some boys, but with all of this
help, dear Jack still didn't get much of his house painted! His excuse:
He only had ONE paintbrush!
Kay Persons hosted at one of the loveliest luncheons
of the social season. The highlight of the afternoon was the delicious
dessert. Mrs. Persons, Kay's mother, served the girl's vanilla ice
cream, then brought out a tray with various ice cream toppings including
nuts, strawberries, fudge sauce, whip cream, and caramel. The guests
had a hey-day making fabulous sundaes and everyone agreed: "I'll
start my diet tomorrow!"
Those lucky girls attending were "Ace"
Spaulding, Linda Schmidt, Nancy Wrenn, Fran Ussery (The Birthday Girl!),
Suzie Miller, Becky Thornton, cute Marilyn Murphy, Perky McKim (minus
baton!), Suzanne MacMillan, Marthabelle Husmann who wore culottes,
Lynn Furr, darling in her matching purple outfit, Mary Carter, Sharon
Hayes, Maurine Doggett, Bonnie Boone, Kathy Brown, Nancy Temple with
her "true pitch"; and red head, Carole Hoelle.
Pat Clarke caused a sensation when she appeared
in our hallowed halls wearing a shorter than short skirt and black
tights. In this cute and crazy get-up Miss Pat somewhat resembled
Robin Hood without his bow and arrow! Twang!
New couple around school: Pretty Dodi Simmerson
and Greg Holland. |
