Richard Kirgan Plans
To Attend Baylor
Richard Kirgan is one of the
twenty seniors who has attend-
ed school at FHS all twelve
years. He was born June 19,
1940, and is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Ramon Kirgan.
For four successive years
Richard was in the center line
up of the Eagle football team.
He lettered three years. Two
years Richard was on the school
baseball team, playing pitcher
and as, so Richard says, one of
the chief “bench sitters.”
Peace comes again. Already
five minutes have gone! She
must hurry! Hurry; If she ex-
pects to get anything accomp-
lished before the period ends.
She grabs at her compact, pats
furiously at the shine on her
nose, smears on rouge, and dutys
on crimson lipstick. Horrors!
Her eyebrows are growing out
again and she has to meet him
after school. She squirms about
in her seat in an attempt to get
the best light and her eyebrows
become a thin line.
She likes the effect and prac-
tices the look she is to greet
him with after school. Then
she fits that look into what she
would first say. Her heart skips
a beat as—heavens, only five
minutes more! She takes this
time to worry over the test she
must “flunk,” to dab at her
nose, and to hurry on to the
next class totally unprepared
because she simply has not had
time.—Girls High Times, Girls
