Enjoying Themselves
Busily engaged in conversation are Mrs. Nichols and President Musgraves. C. W. Dobson looks
confused, while Editor of The Express Beverley Van Sandt, giggles toward Robbie Thompson.
Look out for your tongue,_ it’s
in a wet place and might slip.
Health is better than wealth be-
cause no one tries to borrow it.

Daybreak—the thing we observe

I Wish I Knew—what every stu-
dent is thinking before tests.

You Call It Madness—the staff
just before the paper goes to
press.
Lots of arguments are sound—
all sound.
Christene Bailey and
Beverly Waldrop on
Casualty List
Beverly Waldrop, Jean Waldon
(her date), Christene Bailey, and
Joe Miller must have really been
celebrating New Year’s Eve right
in Longview. They are the only
students, as far as we know, who
are on the casualty list as a re-
sult of a car wreck. Christene
looks none the worse for it, but
she says the bruises just don’t
show.
Betty McGuirt came back from
Madisonville wearing a very pret-
ty diamond ring. Betty said it
was just a gift with no strings
attached, but we can’t help but
wonder. Is everything Sunny,
Bett?
Juanita Patty didn’t do badly
to be such a quiet girl. Paul
Taylor, from all reports, likes
her just that way. Anyway Jua-
nita is now getting her home
work up with a new Parker pen
and pencil set of which Paul is the
source.
Brooksie Miller likes A. & M.
College so . well she is wearing
an emblem pen from same. These
Texas Aggies are pretty nice to
have around, aren’t they, Brook-
sie ?
Elizabeth Sharp, Beverly Wal-
drop, and Christene Bailey had a
merry, merry Christmas and a
happy New Year. They spent
most of their time with three ex-
high school friends who are now
in the services of the U. S. of A.
Beverly and Elizabeth say the old
proverbial candy - making party
turned out pretty swell for them.
Earl Midcalf and Frankie Cock-
rell attended, a big New Year’s
party in Joaquin at Mrs. M. Whid-
don’s spacious home. Frankie
seems to have had a very nice
time. How about you, Earl ?
Wendell Swann, Bill Amberg,
and Carson Joines made it to dear
old Carthage in time to have one
or two flings with Emma Jean,
Wanda, and Dixie A. before hav-
ing to return to P. J. C. We
know what these girls got for
Christmas, but, we aren’t gonna
tell.
A d e 11 a Groom added a new
sports coat to her wardrobe over
the holidays. Or, should I say,
Charles Soape made the addition?
Nevertheless, it looks fine, and,
according to Adella, everything IS
fine.
We can’t help but notice as of
late that Jimmy Jones and Nita
Rich have a sort of knowing look.
They must know something that
we don’t know—about them, that
is.
Bobby Rogers isn’t interested
in the female population of
P. J. C., and we know why. White
Oak holds all his interest at the
present; . Why didn’t you tell us,
Bobby ?
Try as I may, I cannot get even
a line on Roy Anderson and Ted-
dy Miller for my avid readers.
Roy won’t tell me of his affairs,*
and I’m afraid to ask Teddy
about his.
Mary Jiter and Robbie Thomp-
son reported to this column that
they spent a merry but unevent-
ful Christmas. That’s rather hard
to believe; but if they say that is
how it was, then, that is how it
was!
Emma Jean Baxter, Dixie Ar-
nold, and Wanda Proctor cele-
brated the holidays , with Wendell
Swann, Carson Joines, and Bill
Amburg—as was expected.
One of the highlights of the
school year of 1948 was the
seated tea given the students
of Panola Junior College by
the faculty on Wednesday,
December 22, at the School
Cafeteria. Mistletoe, holly
and the conventional red and
green decorations gave a fes-
tive air to the setting.
At 10 o’clock students were
dismissed from classes and
the large college family as-
sembled for the gala occasion.
Greeting guests at the door were
President B. W. Musgraves, Dean
Floyd Boze, Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Nichols, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Monk
and Coach Winlon Knowles. Mr.
L. R. Sharp, Mr. Worth Yar-
borough and Coach Bill Defee as-
sisted in seating the group.
The tea table, covered with a
beautiful lace cloth and set with
crystal and silver, was marked
with an appropriate center piece
representing snowfall upon a
bank of snow.
The soft glow of long tapering
candles from crystal candelabra
lent a meditative air to the din-
ing room in keeping with the
Christmas - season. The table was
made especially attractive by the
silver tea service which was pur-
chased in Germany by Mr. Boze
as a gift for his wife who gra-
ciously offered its use for this
occasion. This was a distinct hon-
or to both faculty and students
as the service had not been used
previously. Presiding at the tea
service were Mrs. B. W. Mus-
graves and Mrs. Floyd Boze.
Misses Elaine Conlee, Mozelle Mc-
Bride, Adelyn Coldwell, Mesdames
Winlon Knowles, Bill Defee and
Merle Glass assisted in serving.
Mr. E. M. Adams lighted individ-
ual candles which decorated the
plates. Spiced tea, open-faced
sandwiches, cranberry salad, col-
orful Christmas cookies and mints
were served.
Each table at which guests were
seated was covered with a white
cloth and marked with a center-
piece of mistletoe and holly from
which came the dim light of a
tapering candle.
This .setting of beauty and quiet-
ness presented an atmosphere for
the very impressive program un-
der the direction of Mrs. Merle
Glass, who was also chairman of
general arrangements. President
Musgraves extended appropriate
words of welcome. C. W. Dob-
son presented the story by Eu-
gene Field, “The Mouse That
Didn’t Believe in Santa Claus.”
Miss Beverley Van Sandt, accom-
panied at the piano by Miss Rob-
bie Thompson, sang “Winter Won-
derland.” Mr. Ray Davidson, Jr.,
accompanied by Miss Sally David-
son at the piano, gave a group
of selected numbers on his saxa-
phone. Miss Elaine Conlee’s
beautiful presentation of Henry
Van Dyke’s “The Other Wise Man”
added solemnity to the occasion.
In this atmosphere of reverential
appreciation for Him, who was
God’s great gift to man, Dean
Boze offered a word of prayer.
The program was concluded with
the' entire group singing Christ-
mas carols.
Wives of the faculty members
were special guests. Panaljo, an
important member of the college
family, also was given a cup of
tea. About 140 people enjoyed the
affair.
Mama Never Said a Word
About Love—Don’t say we didn’t
warn you.
