WHO’S WHO
Cle|a Sue Ray
Just listen to this and try and
[ picture it in your mind. A girl,
five feet five inches tall, weigh-
[ ing 116 pounds, with long, very
[ curly blond hair and hazel green
1 mas. Putting all this together
| reveals a very pleasing sight,
I dels Sue Ray, a senior of 50-61.
f ftewas bom on July 1, 1934, and
Ii now sixteen. She was bora in
eM, and has spent all her
[school life in good ’ole Fairfield
| school. Good for her!
1 believe the senior class of
lrM-’61 has gotten together and
de a compromise of some sort,
jlhey all seem to be crazy about
■ fried chicken and pie. This is true
I in Sue’s case and her favorite pie
*1 caramel. June Allyson on the
en is also a favorite of hers,
on McCrea sends cold chills
Rip and down her spine both on the
radio and screen, especially when
he sings “My Heart Criee For
You.”
She has a rather confusing pen-
time. It teems she desires both
the quiet solitude of a good book
and also an exciting, interesting
picture show. t Anything for a
change, I always say!
' Horse-back riding takes up the
most pleasant leisure hours she
has, because she gets a particular
thrill from galloping over hill and
plain on some gallant steed.
Sounds exciting.
' After she graduates, Sue plans
to go to Jacksonville Baptist Col-
lege to prepare herself for the
responsibilities of a good secre-
tary. Her secret ambition is to get
married. How unusual! This runs
true to her favorite subject—.boys
Still very unusual for* a girl.
Just remember your fellow class
mates, Sue, and know we’re always
with you in anything you do.

Kirven News

'\
the government’s new price freeze.
u they waited until the
Wpre. the highest In history
freeze them. It is the seme
etory of politics end like of cour-
age in the crisie. They tell us .that
the roll back will come later. Well
we will see—however, my advice
is don’t wait for it. The only sure
way to a price roll back is sane
buying and a general buyers re-
sistance.
But after all is said and done, it
will be up to the buying public to
bring prices down, but as long as
the buying public will buy every-
thing offered at any price you can
be sure the seller will fiftd a way
to keep the prices up. This admin-
istration will continue to be all
things to all people, therefore all
we can expect is promises and
cheap politics. And if the price
should ever go up on the kind of
politics we have. We will cer-
tainly be pitying too much.
Well, the blue norther that blew
in’ Saturday night reminds us that
winter was still with us. The icy
winds have brought with them a

Emergency Board. The union leaders
refused.
. . . the railroads accepted the White
