THE PADUCAH POST, PADUCAH, TEXAS, THURSDAY, MARCH 1,^1951
The West Wind
Junior News
Clinton, did you have a nice
time the other night? Wonder
Three brands of field rations
that rate Gold Chevrons for over-
, seas service in time of war—from
1898, through 1917-18, and the
! years of World War 11.
In the Veterans of Foreign
Wars you find former dogfaces,
leathernecks and gobs who can
remember times when they
would have traded a warehouse
of the stuff for one square meal.
That’s the quiet thrill an over-
seas veteran enjoys when he be-
longs to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars—the chance to reminisce
and swap stones with fellows
who talk his language.
It’s chis rare type of fellow-
ship that makes it easy for them
to work together for the good
of their country, their home
town and their mutual welfare—
as members of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars.
Any group of overseas vets
may argue loud and tong about
which outfit won the war—the
Army, Navy, Marines, Coast
Guard, Air Force, or the Sea-
bees. On one point, however,
you will always find them in
complete agreement:
THEV.F.W. IS A GOOD OUTFIT*

if Monetta knows about it. Well
one thihg about it, if she finds
blonde hairs on your clothes,
she won’t know but what they
are hers. Five nights in a row.
Brother!
What’s this we hear about
Don Criswell’s learning how to
tap dance. Well/, I’ll say this, I
bet he sure is slow to learn,
being as Carolyn is teaching
him. Can’t say as I blame you
though. One thing about it.
You’ve certainly made a change,
from Army life to learning how
to tap. Oh yes, that’s Don. Here
Say, by the way Don, you think
one day, gone the next. Fleet!
you might turn out to be an-
other Fred Astaire?
Looks like Betty Johnson and
Kenneth are on the beam again.
It’s about time you got her cor-
raled again. She’s been on the
loose for quite a while now. If
she were out for long, she might
not like being pinned up. Eah!
Betty?
That could go for James Long
and Lavella too. You better get
her, that is if you still can,
cause one of these days you may
not be so sure of yourself as
you are now. Think it over, it
might be something to think
about. When a fish is turned
loose, it doesn’t have trouble
swimming. Looks like she is
wearing someone’s ring already.
Wonder why we don’t see
Sherry out on the streets after
dark any more. Was it because
of a little trouble with Lavella?
If you see Sherry locked in her
house with her nose pressed
against the window looking out
just wave and pass her by.
Patsy, were you a bit embar-
rassed Tuesday in third period
study hall. If she heard what
you said, that notebook between
her and your head won’t stop
these daggers.
Clinton, that surely was a
sweet smile you received from
a certain Senior girl Tuesday
morning. In the third period
study hall. Sigh!
Mr. Reed, I’ve heard some nice
compliments on the band lately.
They sound like they’re really
after it in sixth period study
hall.
Wonder what Tommy Scott
thinks about his “supposedly”
best friend asking Suzanne for
dates?
Sophomore News
Jean S. has some new glasses
and they look very nice. Why
don’t you wear them more often?
H. A. was seen with a little
sophomore girl last week. Could
this mean a new romance.
Don Royce, weren’t you just
tickled pink at your partner in
the Senior play? How about
this, Rose Marie?
The characters for the Senior
Play are:
John R. Criswell.....
Lucy Nell Boothe.....
Glenda Mills .........
Moselle Hutton .......

Pauline and Arnold are still
a steady couple. Isn’t love
grand?
Seems Sherry was gleaming
Sunday.* Joe got to come home.
Proud to see you, Joe.
Don Criswell and Nancy are
patching up again. Nice going.
Seems as if Sherry was hav-
ing quite a bit of trouble Sat-
urday night. Maybe it will come
out all right.
Erma and Hartley seem to
have patched up their difficul-
ties lately. They are seen to-
gether quite often. Nice going,
kids.
Seems as if Carolyn has a job
on her hands trying to teach
Don to tap dance, or Don. Good
luck to you both. ,
Carl P., you and Gaylean sure
enjoy going over the Cee Vee
looks, don’t you? Maybe next
time there won’t be so much
traffic.
Pauline, seems as if you’ve
been getting lessons on how to
cook. How about that, Pauline.
Emma Jean, what boy did you
have so much fun with Friday ,
night? He is real cute. Nice go-
ing.
Well, all the bookkeeping stu-
dents can breathe easily now,
since the practice sets are hand-
ed back. Or at least they know
where they stand. I
H. A., you have quiet a long
list of girl friends, don’t you.
What’s the matter. Qan’t you
find the right one?

Entertain Students
Siguard Rascher entertained
the Paducah High School on
February 14, 1951. Mr. Rascher
is the world’s greatest saxophone
player. Everyone enjoyed his
performance ion the saxaphone.
Williams S. Willet gave an in-
teresting program about India.
Mr. Willett spent six years vis-
iting India. His program was
held in the Paducah High School
Auditorium on February 19,
1951. Mr. Willett showed us
some things from India and
gave a talk about Indian cus-
toms. i
The Paducah High School en-
joyed having Mr. Rascher and
Mr. Willett as its guests.
THANKS MRS. RICHARDS

Billie Murray looked so sweet
in a lime corduroy dress with
an unborn calf belt last week.
Jean Sherman’s aqua linen
dress with aqua, yellow, and
brown stripes running diagon-
ally across the skirt looks pre-
cious on her. , «
Everyone is bringing out their
colorful spring clothes again
during the warm weather we
have been having. Some of these
very attractive spring skirts
were worn by Wanda Washburn,
Lucy Boothe and Betty Barnes.
Joyce Woods had on a pretty
lime green soft print dress with
tiny tucks on the bodice last
Monday which looks very nice
on her.
Marilyn Bennett looks very
cute in a bright green silk
blouse with an elastic waist
worn with a green, brown and
rust plaid skirt.
Ann Smith (Cartwright) had

There’s a Big
DIFFERENCE!
You'll notice the difference immedi-
ately after changing to Gulf products in
your automobile, tractor or truck. You’ll

it is more economical, too. *

What kind of lubricating oil have you been using? Have
you ever tried GULF PRIDE? It’s the last (word in lubrica-
