Girl to friend: “I don t care if he
is a pilot. I don’t like being referred
to as the target tonight.”
I finally thought of taking a look
at the wind sock and decided that I
landed into the wind quite success-
fully.
Mr. French breathed a sigh of re-
lief, threw a “November Stare” my
direction, and said, “Now watch her
take off again.” Does he think I’m
stupid? (Don’t answer that!) Any-
way, I don't have to look up the
definition of “fear” in the diction-
ary anymore. I know! Billie Giles

I need some scissors, some paste,
and some paper. Come on, Dot, you
are scissors, too. Sounds like the
Valentine party that the Freshmen
gave the Seniors, February 9.
Everyone played table games dur-

Mr. and Mrs. King, Charles Davis,
and Miss Nona played “forty-two.”
Lillie Mae and Harold tried to teach
Miss Burns to play “Contact.” Joy is

The median scores of our entering
freshman for this school year com-
pare favorably with those of the
norms group, consisting of entering
freshmen in junior colleges. This
information has recently been re-
ceived from Mrs. Mariam M. Bryan,
advisory service of the Cooperative
Test Service of the American Coun-
cil on Education, in the letter writ- j
ten to Miss Sullivan, English teacher
in the college.
Conforming with general require-
ments, the entering freshmen took
this prescribed English test in Sep-
tember, and the instructor sent their
scores to this Cooperative Test Ser-
vice in New York City. In response
to the request made by the English
teacher, Mrs. Bryan gave an inter-
pretation of the scores made by the
freshmen in W. C.
The letter revealed that we had
percentile score of 99 plus, the high-
est score in the class. Carlene Line-

Everywhere I went people would
say, “Hum—I hear you need to take
some more dual on a bike, Sandy.”

grins would develop into a giggle. I
took one brief look in the mirror and

The Sunday after my-er-accident,
I would go to the Airport and try
my hand at flying. (Just to prove to

Mr. White asked me if my ee was

my dark glasses. “Oh, no!” I said—
I got in the plane and took off. Be-
fore I was ready to land, the wind
changed (I must have some excuse)
so when I came in for a landing I
was flying downwind, crosswind,
and everything else my “teacher”
had forbidden me to do (except use
the spoilers).
There must have been thirty cars
of observers, at the airport that af-
ternoon. I really should charge ad-

predictable creature, that I am, I
decided I’d just not come down. But
soon there was very little gasoline
left so I says to myself, “Calm your-

the plane all over the field—if you
hit the field.” Sure enough I tried

Letter
Dear Clara,
At last I’ve made everyone’s pre-
diction come true. I had one of those
“dinky little forced landings” —
but, to some people’s extreme disap-
pointment, not while soloing a plane.
I’m not qualified to put the follow-
ing ad in a newspaper: “Lost—one
tooth (plus some ego)! Gee, but I
miss it. (The tooth, I mean). Why,
when I introduce myself, I say
“Tandy Tanders”; I ask for “tamps”
when I mail a letter; for “toup”
when I eat (soup, ugh!); when some-
one asks me for a "tigarette" I have
to say I’m "torry" I haven’t one; at।
the studio I ask the customers what
“tize” photograph they want and—
’nuff said. You get the general
idea.
It’s not entirely the loss of a tooth
that’s “getting me down”—it’s the
ribbing I’m forced to take good na-
turedly. (Even I think it’s a bit
comical—but I shan’t admt it.) You
see, unlike most normal human be-
ings, I couldn’t just bite a telephone
pole while “joy-riding” in a car or
crash a plane into the water tower
(at least not yet)—no, I have to hit
the side of a bridge (that was large
enough for a fellow who’d been
drinking the famous “Rum and Coca
Cola” to have seen on a clear night)
—and on a bicycle, mind you. What
doesn’t happen to me is seldom.
I really “knock myself out” when
I “fall for someone,” eh? If ever
you feel like meeting some new in-
dividual here’s the formula: Skin
one side of your face well, black one
eye thoroughly, then add a broken
tooth. That’ll do the trick. Even the
most reserved stranger can’t resist
asking, “What in the world happen-
i ed to you, you poor child?” (child
indeed!) Just watch their eyebrows
go toward the ceiling in disbelief
when you mention the bike! Besides
meeting new people (which I’m
alergic to) there’s a second “advant-
age”—you can play (?) the role of a
“Lady in Distress” for a couple of
hours or so. (Now whose kiddin’
who?) ,
Oh yes, there’s one little item I
want to warn you about before you
try it though; be sure you have all
your “dark blue secrets” locked
away in your mind. Otherwise you’ll
say the most foolish and unexpected
things while you’re under the in-
fluence of the “black out.” Ask Gale
Moran!

Lycemum Program, Feb. 22
Captain Kilroy Harris, a native of
Australia but now a resident of
Kentucky, by means of illustrative
slides presented to the W. C. stu-
dent body and faculty members and
the pupils from Stanley school on
Thursday, Feb. 22, some informa-
tional and novel facts and figures
about the unknown Australia or
the “Down Under” land where still
exists in this 20th century a life
comparable to the Stone Age.
In his travels of more than 10,000
miles on horse back or in a one-
horse buggy throughout the Aus-
tralian center, Capt. Harris has not
only become familiar with this great
country which is larger than our
own United States, but also has pre-
served in the forms of picture slides
many of her spectacular and mys-
terious secrets which include plant
and animal life, industries, cattle
and sheep stations, and even the
Australian Aborigines.
A veteran of World War I, Cap-
tain Harris four times was recorat-
ed personally by King George V for
gallantry in action. Later he served
in the British Diplomatic Service as
the King’s messenger. He is the
author of these books featuring
Australia, “Sunny Australia,” “Cut-
back in Australia,” and “It Happen-
ed in Australia.”
Volley Ball
Girls who are planning to make
the volley ball team when it is or-
ganized, have been practicing at 2:00
on Friday afternoons. To offer com-
petition and necessitate forceful
playing, some boys have been prac-
ticing with the girls.
The prospects for a strong team
are quite favorable. When the net is
put up and the ball starts whizzing
back and forth, Norma and Polly
“really get in the groove,” Burkie,
Maxine and Anne haven’t had quite
as much experience, but they will
soon be competing with them for ef-
ficiency. Vydel is just plenty good
and she is training Margie and May-
rene fast. Several other girls will
soon develop the technique, due to
Miss Burns’ ardent coaching.
until 1948 to pick a Valentine. Miss
Nona Akard was a favorite Valen-
tine; she won every time.
Betty Joe explained a game called
“Making Valentines.” There were
names from “Cupid” to “purple
ing.” When Charles Brinkley was
asked why he chose scissors, he said,
“Because I’m such a cut-up.”
Punch and heart-shaped cookies
were served for refreshments.
Victories and defeats are now
parts of “ancient” history for the
1945 W. C. eagers. Their final game
together was played in the high
school gymnasium on Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 13, with the Weatherford In-
dependents. The Independents are
composed of Coy Young, John L.
Hartzel, Blake Gill, Eugene Polser,
Leonard Wilson, Junior Thomas, and
Weldon Cash.
Rapidly the game progressed; the
score range never varied many
points. Harris and Polk were really
“on the beam.” Day was high in
spirits and fighting all the time.
Pitchford, always efficient in his
play, showed true cooperation. They
also had the help of their coach,
Etier, who was allowed to play since
the opponent was independent.
Working together, the Coyotes rang-
led a favorable score of 38-36 from
the sixty minutes of action.
The Coyotes have played a num-
ber of games this year. They have
played Brock several times, and
have met the fighting Wildcats from
Millsap. Other teams of great talent
they have met are these: Perrin,
Ranger, N. T. A. C., Seminary from
Fort Worth, and the Globe Aircraft.
All these games were exciting and
the boys did some excellent playing
in each of them. W. C. IS VERY
PROUD OF ALL OF HER BOYS.

Chapel Notes
A number of entertaining and
varied chapel and assembly pro-
grams have been presented within
the last month.
Capt. Little Speaks
On two occasions, we had the priv-
iledge of having as our guest, Capt.
Sam J. Little, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Sam J. Little, Weatherford. We are
indeed proud of Captain Little, an
ex-student of W. C. who has served
as a pilot on a C-47 for nineteen!
months in the India-China-Burma
theater of war. After telling us of
some of his thrilling experiences in
transporting essential war materials
by airplane over the “hump,” he re-
lated some informational and enter-
taining data concerning the customs,
habits, and industries in India and
China. First hand information of
this type gives a picturesque and
vivid picture of how the Oriental
people live—their beliefs, habits, ac-
complishments, attitudes, etc.
“Varied Variety” Program
With Charles Brinkley acting as
master of ceremonies, the Student
Council presented a delightful mis-
cellaneous program on Friday, Feb-
ruary 9. A number of pupils from
the local high school and the Stan-
ley school made welcomed contri-
butions to the program. Janie Smith
Gwenelle Eager, and “Scottie” Jank-
ins sang solos. Billy Beard, Joy Far-
mer, Billy Hudspeth, and Sherwood
Beasley, Mrs. Hutcheson’s pupils,
gave readings and Jimmie Jo Brad-
ley and Dorothy Jordan demon-
strated baton twirlings. “The Donkey
Serenade” was played as a duet by
Mary Nell Davis and Roy Gene El-
ders, students in the college.
Rev. Bales Discusses Prayer
The need and value of prayer in
one’s life and the major elements
composing prayer were the esesntial
points emphasized by Rev. Gleinn
W. Bales, pastor of the Northside
Baptist Church, in his very inspira-
tional andtimely talk given on Fri-
day, February 16. He used as the
basis for his message, Matthew 6:5-
18, the words of Jesus to his dis-
ciples in his well-known sermon on
the Mount. Lucille Farmer conduct-
ed the devotional services for this
program which the B. S. U. sponsor-
ed. One high feature of this pro-
gram was given in the form of two
piano solos played exceptionally
well by Rev. Bales’ six year old
daughter.
Musical Numbers Presented
For the program on Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 20th, Miss Nona Akard, the
leader presented Miss Ruth Hutche-
son and one of her public school
music classes, composed of sixty-six
girls. In a very pleasing and accept-
able manner, this group sang a va-
riety of songs. Included in their se-
lections were their “school song,”
“Morning,” a medley group of six
familiar songs, “Sweet and Low,”
“Indian Lullaby,” “Rig a Jig Jig,”
“Skip to My Lou,” “Grandfather’s
Clock,” two Russian songs—"Min-
ka” and “Dark Eyes,” religious
songs as “In the Garden,” and “I’ll
Be Somewhere Listening,” hymns—
“What a Friend,” “Rock of Ages,”

Reports On
Coyettes’ Games
The Coyettes’ first games with the
outsiders from Brock was a victory
for W. C. from start to finish, the
final score being 24-14. Ruth Greer
won high point honors with 15
points to her credit.
In the Junior College Tournament
at Ranger on January 26, the Coy-
ettes’ first game was with the Rang-
er girls. The game was close until
during the last quarter when the W.
C. girls ran their winning score up,
it being 27-17. Ruth Greer again
won high point honors with a total
of 18 poitns to her credit.
The second games in the tourna-
ment in which the Coyettes par-
ticipated was with Clifton Junior
College. Excitement ran high
throughout the game, as neither
team scored many poitns above the
other. After a good game of hard
playing, the Coyettes were defeated
by Clifton Junior College, the score
being 18-16. The Coyettes won sec-
ond place in the tournament by hav-
ing lost this game. LaTrice Parnell,
with six points to her credit, was
high point man.
On January 30 in the fourth game
for the Coyettes in the Fort Worth
League, the opponent was the team
from Montgomery Ward. Again the
Coyettes came through with a vic-
tory to hold their lead in the league.
Good playing throughout the game
made the score 26-13. Ruth Greer
held high point honors with a total
of 12 points.
The fifth game in the Ft. Worth
City League was played with the
Bomberettes from Consolidated on
February 23. Although having
beaten the Bomberettes once in Jan-
uary, the W. C. girls were defeated
as the score board showed 6-15. The
Coyette line-up was the foilwing:
guards, Norma Calverly, Monteen
Gilbert, and Juanez Rucker and the
forwards LaTrice Parnell, Ruth
Greer, and Lillie Mae Richards. Sub-
stitutes were Melba Matney, Burkie
Wheeler and Betty oJ Norman.
