Well, sports fans, it looks like this
school year has just about come to
close. Just a few more days, then
tests, and then graduation, and all of
us seniors will leave this fair place.
Each going a different way. But the
old world of sports will roll on and
on. Next year the “Roos” will play
the same schools on the football field
with the exception of Garland. Bird-
ville took their place.
Next year the “Roos” will have a
new coach to work with. H. W. Wil-
son, new coach, says that no definite
plans are made for next year as he
is not well enough acquainted with
the boys. Before school is out this
year the boys will be taught the bas-
ic principles of exercise, and they
will exercise on their own during
the summer. The new coach stated
that he enjoyed living in Weatherford
and that he liked working with the
administration here.
Looking around on the dragging
scene, we see that Duane Lamb fi-
nally made his dream cpme true.
He now has a ’57 Chevrolet V8 En-
gine in his ’51 Chevy. The motor
looks real sharp with all that chrome
on it. The chrome wheels make the
car real outstanding. From what
I’ve seen the car will hold its own
with just about anything at the stop
lights.
We would like to recognize three
senior boys who have lettered for
the past three years in track. These
boys are Nolan Brawley, Jim Taylor,
and Lynn Easley. These three boys
have been very outstanding in
sports ever since they have entered
high school. They all three also play-
ed football.
Well it looks like ’Roos Tales has
just about come to a close for this
Senior Edition — for this year as a
matter of fact. So long sports fans
and a happy summer vacation to
you.

In the slick little village of Kanga-
rooland at 7:00 a.m. the place begins
to awake.
One by one the lights blink on,
signifying the awakening of the
townspeople. Down at the Post Office,
Joe Billman is sorting the mail with
the help of his assistants; Jack Car-
roll, Margie Bailey and Mary Bra-
sh ier.
Don Covington tells his wife the
former Becky Neal, good-by as he
leaves for Kangaroo Klinic. He has
been called to the hospital early be-
cause of the injury that Phil Brad-
ford received when his cow stepped
on his foot.
By this time, most of the town is
awake, and over at the Williams’
house Tommy Jean is preparing
breakfast while C. D. is reading the
morning paper edited by Sandra Has-
ley and Shirley Wilson. C. D. is sur-
prised to learn that Wayne Smart
with his Rag Time Band is appear-
ing at the Horace Venable Memorial
Theater.
C. D.’s train of thought is broken
by the jangle of a telephone. Miss
Melinda Hall, who lives next door,
is calling to remind Tommy Jean
that the church sewing circle -is to
meet that afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Sharen Smith Brawley. Sha-
red’s husband, Nolan, is now instruct-
ing a group of track boys from the
Jimmy Tatum Institute.
Down town the merchants are op-
ening their shops. Miss Diania Cor-
bin, better .known as “Blondie” is
opening her Bon Bon Sweet Shoppe.
Her first customer, is Ben Weehunt.
Ben is buying a fifty pound box of
candy for his . favorite girl, Teresa
Springfield.
Next door to the Bon Bon Sweet
Shoppe is one of the favroite sports
