From where I sit... 61/ Joe Marsh
Jeb Had the Folks
in Stitches!
At the Friday Night Social,
Jeb Crowell had the audience in
stitches — doing a take-off on the
blustering character who belittles
everybody and everything that isn’t
from his own home town.
Well, we can laugh at that sort
of character because from where
I sit, Americans are just the op-
posite. We like to boast a bit per-
haps, about the paint job on the
new barn, or the missus’ style of
cooking—but we aren’t intolerant
of people who don’t think or act
exactly the same way we do.
In our town, for instance: Some
folks like band concerts, others
don’t — some families serve beer
with dinner, others, buttermilk —
and as for politics, there’s plenty of
healthy disagreement.
But when it comes to denying
folks the right to think or act as
EIGHTH GRADE
GIVEN BANQUET
The Eighth grade had their an-
nual banquet May 7, 1948, in the
High School cafeteria. The “Old
South” theme was carried out.
Tables were decorated with pastel
colored flowers arranged in old
fashioned nosegays with pastel col-
ored candles, napkins, and menus.
Place cards were little darkies with
names of guests on their belts.
The class sang “Carry Me Back
to Old Virginny” as the opening
number. Mr. A. R. Pointer gave the
invocation. Gloria Chamberlain,
singing “Ole Man River”, Barbara
Genty, reading “Evening Grace” in
negro dialect, and Mr. R. H. Renfro,
playing a medley of southern songs
carried out the theme in the pro-
gram. Mrs. Teeny D. Adkins talked
| to the class on*“Be Your Best Self.”
Mrs. Brandstetter furnished ac-
companiment for musical numbers.
