"Editorial” conf.
to what a student was trying
to say to you? When was the
last time you volunteered
to help the students out with
some kind of project? How
many times have you hidden
in the bathroom during'a pep
rally, just so you wouldn’t be
expected to yell? How many
times have you. been too busy
to come to a school function
that you weren’t required to
ceme to?
I’m not going to point out
all these faults without trying
to offer some sort of solution.
The best solution that I know
of is to start joining in on
issues that are going on right
now, learn to speak out for
what you believe is right,
start showing the people
■ that you know are doing wrong
that you’re sick of their cru-
elty. Just as it took time to
come down to the bottom of
the pit where we are now,
it will take time to climb back
up. But I believe that if every-
one that really wants to start
caring will try, then we’ve
got to make progress somehow.
Well Known Star Here
“Peter Pan’s son....at
WHS?M Yes, Larry Hagman,
movie and TV star, and also
son of Mary Martin, returned
home to Weatherford last week,
Larry and his family spent a
few day’s rest here before
embarking on their journey to
Chile, where they will be
making a movie.
Larry Hagman is best
known for his TV roles in
’“I Dream of Jeanie’’ and
“The Good Life,’’ but he has
also starred in numerous
other shows, and has recently
finished producing his own
movie, “Son of Blob.’’
Larry attended high school
in Weatherford, and graduated
in the class of ‘49. He was a
member of the Grass Burr
staff, and starred in the
Senior Play (to which he owes
the “discovery” of his
talent). As Larry said, “I
realized I could make people
laugh.”
His wife, Maj (Swedish
for the month of May), an
accomplished fashion desi-
gner in Ho llywood, has stu-
died in London. In fact, it
was in London where she and
Larry met and were married.
Larry says he owes most of
his success to h'i5 wife.
“When times were rough at
the first, she was there to
help me along.” And Maj had
something complimentary to
say about her husband, too,
The thing she respects most
about him is that, unlike most
movie stars, he is truly a
family man. If a film offer
conflicts .with a pre-planned
family outing, he will turn
down the offer, to be with
his fami ly.
Larry, his wife, and his
two children, Heidi, 14, and
Preston, 10, live at Malibu
Beach in Cal ifornia.

GOATHEADS
by Andrea Worden
The first Goathead of the
month goes to freshman Roy
Long. The other day Roy was
over at his girlfriend, Bonny
McIntosh’s house. This is
all well and good, but after
a while Roy and Bonny deci-
ded they wanted to go outside
and “play games.” In the
process of one of their
“games” Roy lost his re-
tainer. For being so naive
about games, we award Roy
this Goathead and the record
‘ ‘Games People Play ’.’
fuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininimuiiiii
This second Goathead is
proudly awarded to Butch
Hickerson. One day while
Butch was at work he decided
to show his co-workers his
brawn by taking a plastic
egg and putting it under his
sleeve to look like a muscle:
What he was not aware of,
though, was that his “friends”
had secretly put a real egg
on the inside of the plastic
egg. When Butch gave his
“firm” muscle a good
squeeze the real egg on the
inside burst all over the in-
side of his shirt. We award
Butch this Goathead and a
promise that the Easter Bun-
ny will be sure and bring him
lots of colored eggs to make
up for the cracked one.
-IlllllUttllllllllllillllllllltll!
The last Goathead of the
month i s to be shared by two
people: Jan Curtis and Linda
Moughon. When the tennis
team played in Western Hills
they were required to ,dress
there. Sounds simple enough^
doesn’t it? Not if you don’t
know where the girls’ dressing
rooms are. Linda and Jan were
faced with this problem.
They walked and walked until
they found themselves in a
dressing room. There was
only one problem, though. It
was the boys’ dressing room)
This was understandable, but
when they started off again
they made a big circle and
ended it up there again!
We award Linda and Jan this
Goathead and leave them
with the question, “Were you
two really looking for a place
to dress or were the guys that
good-looking?
