Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy and I just
want you to let me keep going with
Norma Brown. She is wonderful and
I just couldn’t bear life without
her. Thank you,
Robert Cochran
P. S. Let Norman Wilson get a
date with Martha Shelby on New
Year’s Eve so we can double-date.
Norma and I get lonesome.
Dearest Mrs. Santa Claus,
I’m writing this to you, because I
find I just don’t have a way with
men. Maybe you can help me. A
date, just a plain, ordinary date.
That’s all I ask for. How about it?
Gwen Knox
Dear Santa,
I haven’t been very good this year,
I’ll admit, but .if you could just
bring me a man along with a birth-
stone ring, I will be very happy and
promise to be much better next
year. Here’s hoping,
Minta Jo Stone
Dearest Santa Claus,
All I want for Christmas is a date
with Scotty Jenkins., for all the
Christmas holidays.
Waiting,
Robert Johnson
Dear You,
You know what I want. Yes, that’s
it, except that’s not the color I
want. I want this color. Okey?
You’ll give it to me? Good.
Love,
Little Moron
Dear Santa Claus,
I only want one thing for Christ-
mas. A date with Norman Wilson!
He just won’t ask me.
His admirer,
Martha Shelby
Dear Santa Claus,
I am a little girl 16 years old.
Santy, I want a little doll with curly
hair. Please bring me a toy sewing
machine to make my dolly some
clothes. I also want lots of fruit,
candy, and nuts. Santy, don’t for-
get my little, friend, Freddie. I
think he wants a little red wagon,
Your friend,
Bobby Gene Stone
Dear Santa Claus,
Please bring me a lot of good
things, namely, a. little stick horse,

(for nothing) boy, so please ad-
vise my teachers to give me a lot
of good grades.
With love,
Joe C. Wyler
Dear Santa Claus,
Well, here it is another Christmas
and another letter to you. I don’t
want much this year, Santa, just- a
car, a horse, a house, some books,
a radio and a man—in uniform (if
possible). That’s all. Thank you.
Your friend
Avis Berkeley
Dearest Santa,
You would make me very happy
if you would bring me a very tall,
handsome guy in the Junior class.

my naural life—off crutches.

I ’jrt a Trerv good girl and is this too
much to ask? Just bring me Clyde

wait patiently until I find out if
that is too much.
Lonesome,

"'"'-’r Santa,

be ever so happy if you would do

to leave me alone. I’m married and
perfectly satisfied and besides my
wife teaches across the hall.
Lovingly,

Dear Santa Claus,
I have been a very good little girl
this year—really I have. So I’ve
sorta been thinking about what I’d
like in my stocking Christmas morn-
ing. I’ve thought it all over and de-
cided I’d like a convertible—any de-
scription—just so it’s a convertible.
But Santa, if you don’t mind I’d like
it to be a blue Buick, with a white
top and red leather seats. Course it
really should have a spot light, fog
lights, fender skirts and an ivory
steering wheel. Oh yes, don’t forget
the “A”, “B” and “C” gasoline ra-
tion books—after all what would a
convertible be without them?
Hopingly,
l Miss Coy Miller
Dear Santa,
I have been looking forward to
the time when I could ask for what
I would like for Christmas. I have
been very lonesome ever since
school started. A very dear friend
moved to Ranger and I would like to
ask you if it would be possible for
her to come to Weatherford during
the holidays, I would like for her
to be in the front room when I wake
up Christmas morning. I have been
very good, so please make it come
true. Homer Jefferson
Dear Santa,
Please send me a few A’s on my
next report card. I’ll be satisfied
with five, since I am only taking
five subjects. I don’t think this is
too much to ask for—only five A’s.
So I will be expecting them.
Sincerely,
Norma Brown
Dear Santa,
Please send me one of those loud
n'aid shirts with a long tail. I want
hang my shirt tail out to.
Thanks for everything,
Carl Reeder
Dear Santa,
I will have two very nice stock-
ings hanging up Christmas Eve.
I Please fill them.
Lovingly,
David Johnson
P. S. Betty Grable will be all
right.
Dear Santa,
There is just one thing I want this
Christmas and that is a date with
Tommy Hardegree. Please, Santa,
give me this chance.
Thanks oceans, Santa,
Your pal,
Maurine Fowler
Dear Santa,
I would like Truman Williams “to
have and to hold” for Christmas.
Waiting,
Glendora Rutledge
Dear Santa,
I would like most of all for Christ-
mas to have a certain brown headed
sailor who is somewhere in the Pa-
cific now.
Virginia Edmundson
Dear Santa Claus,
Please bring me a tall, dark, and
handsome you know what. And any-
thing else you can throw in. He
could be blonde and not hardly as
tall. Lots of love,
Frances Ketzler
Dear Santa,
I know this man shortage is pret-
ty bad, but could you manage to
get me one about 6 feet tall.
Hopefully waiting,
Charlene Waters
Dear Santa,
Will you please send me a tall,
dark and handsome man for Christ-
mas. That’s all I am asking for, so
please, just do that.
Betty Pittman
Dear Santa,
Please send Bobby Kearby some
cigarettes.
Wheefy Hill
Dear Santa,

you to send Hitler and Herohito the
kind of ticket required to send them
to their obvious destination.
Ellon Brogden
Dear Santa Claus,
Please bring the Home Ec. girls
a new broom. Urgently needed.
Virginia Edmundson

I won’t always be losing my books.

so that I can see my way to English
class every day. I love you, Santa.
Bill de Leleu
Dear Santa Claus,
I am a little boy about 14 years
old. I make the best grades possible
(for me). I wish you would leave
Coy Nell Evans in my stocking on
Christmas Eve. Also you might
throw in a blue convertible if pos-
sible, but don’t forget the main pres-
ent. Thanks so much,
Your Junior Friend,
J. B. Harrington
Dear Santa,
Please bring me a tall, dark and
handsome man for Christmas.

tion of Truman Olds. Don’t let me
down.
Dear Santa,
I would like for you to bring me
a negro doll, a set of plastic dishes
and of course all the other things
you have to spare. I would also like
some anples, oranges, candy, cook-
ies, and nuts.
Your pal,
Everette Young
Dear Santa Claus,
If you have one on hand, I’d like
a book about Trapping, Capturing
or Re-Capturing and Taming ani-
mals. Those up-right creatures that
go around W. H. S. Men I think.
Yours forever,
Era Mae Brewer
Dear Santa,
Please tell a certain black head-
ed person in Senior High that I’m
lonesome and if you can’t make him
understand, I guess you will have
to bring me a paper doll.
A lonely wanter,
.Ruth Davis
Dearekt Santa,
I wish you would bring me a chair
that has room for two, so I can be
close to Bobby without having to
lean over that old chair arm in
Coach’s room.
Here’s hoping,
Jay me Murry.
Dear Santa,
Christmas is ve'ry near and I can’t
think of a thing that I would like
except a whole lot of love, a birth-
stone ring, housecoat and slippers,
a pair of blue eyes (along with
blonde hair) a raincoat and lots
more.
Well, is that asking for too much?
You be the judge.
Anxiously Waiting,
Imogene Dane
Dear Santa Claus,
I have been a good little girl, so
please bring back Duncan Carring-
ton. It would be nice if you would,
so please.
Bobbye Heim
Dear Santa,
Please send our boys and our
Allies more war material so that
the war may be over soon. I want
some war bonds for Christmas.
A friend,
Laura Pearl Hall
Dear Santa,
^Please bring me a big red wagon
loaded with candy and nuts.
