So here’s old Snoopy again just loaded with malarky -- but
first I just gotta thank everyone for their marvelous reception
of my teen time column. The phone rang incessantly ---and
would you believe that we received call’ from several adult’
Gee thanks
Now kids, what are we going to do about all this ’'lieal ” wlten
:.. again in September while our Houston Buddies
will be studying cool and calmly in that heavenly air condition-
ing' Anyone with any Ideas please put them to use.
Hope all of you took the driver lest sponsored by Shell
Tuesday night at 9. It was really educational, and believe you
me. I flunked it. Which means I’m not ready to drive yet. How
about you? A show like that really wakes you up to a lot of im-
portant statistics that you don’t even dream about until some
one give - you a nudge Just liope it isn’t one car nudging an-
other --- oops -- - then it’s too late
Ibd a lot of calls from out-going seniors and of course the
junior have to sort of "lay it on" the senior', l-kit would you
believe that at the prom which was held in the very phis and
proper Warwick, some nice guy spilled ice tea down some nice
girls back. Hope it didn’t ruin her dress. I never dreamed
things like that could happen to a lofty senior.
I’ve been told that an out-of-h wn girl would like to be liked
by senior M.W. but 1 firmly believe that L. 1 . firmly holds
his affections -- hang on - loopy1
Did anyone just happen to notice that Carolyn Corbett looked
like a dresden doll in her formal. I’ve heard more favorable
comment on that girl -- especially from ‘she knows who’.
Ji is I WONDERINC. - what senior finally sat down on a
nice sharp thumb tack? (band-aid anyone9) who took whom
to the drag races Saturday night9 B. M. and that burr hair
cut Hope he’s not enli sting He looks great tho - just like
alway what junior high girl carries a hag so big that she
could put A. H, in It9 -- hands out girls, he may be in there'
We had a great field day our last day of school. It was
like "open house" all day The teachers treated iu with i.i .
(tender love and care) just like always. Ho' Ho! Ho' Speaking
of teachers on field day. how about that water fight with Mr.
Harris. Miss Foster, and Mrs, Benson. Who won' Does Miss
Foster know Karate9 Anyhow, the whole thing was fun. fun, fun.
We received a call late Friday P.M. that the drummer. Jay
Britt of ' The Kings" band was in a terrible accident in Pasa-
dena. I immediately went out to Southmore Hospital and Jay
had 62 stitches in his face So I would say it was pretty ser-
ious But he was ahle to talk and he said to tell all the kids in
Pearland ’hello’, and that he would he up and ready to ’ beat
the drums for them in June" when The Kings have a couple of
return engagement at our good old Lions Club, incidentally
I am ''The King " fan club president, and we would love to
have any of you as a member So if you are interested contact
me and I will give you detail
Hope all of you watched our very colorful "roaring twen-
ties" -how Saturday on Channel 13 It wa>the swingingest ever
Ralph F. looked like a roarin' twenty rich executive Ian H
and Calvin ( . were in the greatest costume' ever The striped
bathing suit* from long ag., If you didn’t see it in color you
missed a groovy show.
Missed the Rehellars Saturday night, and I feel badly about
it too, because they are very good friends of mine plus they
are a real g<x>d band but 1 had previously been invited to
Jan Hixon's 14th birthday party --- and as they say it was a
blast Good food, lots of fun. lot ofkids many more happy
ones Jan.
Had a per H the Hi-nine Jackson dance Friday night
- vyjc:.- wfi rh< ..aw together the little L.W. from T.V. and
J.A. Hey. what’s 1 g on that 1 don’t know about9 He even gave
her an orchid.
with this I hall bid you adt< u until next week I appiecl
ate all your little notes and calls. Without your help I’d never
make it. I didn’t really know I had so many friends in Pear-
land.
P. . 1 must add this because I feel that it is much too im-
portant to forget - I want to wish each and every senior all
the luck in the world.
