DRUM AND BUGLE
CORPS
When the Drum and Bugle Corps
disbanded under the red light, a lot
of tired but happy girls trudged
home. They had marched through
town, done their drill, and cheered
for the Bears' first victory.
The good "ole" "Big B was form-
ed in front of the Bastrop stands;
we counter marched; and did a dia-
mond weave the length of the field.
It was a grand game and we
marched to town with the glad news
after it was over.
FRESHMAN REPORT
Carl, how are you and M.M. get-
ting along?
You seem to have an interest in
English class, Derwood,
Say. Billy Gene, who is that girl
you have been going to see every
week-end? Her initials couldn't be
G.B., could they?
Well, Superwolf Maidenswoon, I
haven't heard much about you lately,
are you slipping?
"Hears all and tells all' (Some-
times). That's our Spanish I teach-
er.
Marie, you still seem to be inter-
ested in B.G.J. Huh?
Marion, we like that new skirt you
wore Monday.
Mrs Jatho, was that a half moon,
full moon, or quarter moon, over
the field Friday?
Grace, are you still protecting
Ray ?
Well, that's signing off for this
week.
Be seeing you.
CAMPUS KEYHOLE
Good morning, merry sunshine, and
top-o-the-morning to you. Tra-la-la.
tra-la-la. (1 have to take my happi
ness when 1 can, you know. After
this column is read by a certain num-
ber of people, I begin to fear for my
life.)
What a lot of fascinating facts I
have uncovered this week. Whee!
More fun, more people killed, more
bloodshed—and me without my ,-poorr.
Golly Ned!
Let's begin with a dire discovery I
made last week while hanging out-
side the Civics window. (Oh yes, I
was, too. I've bought a second-hand
pair of suction-cup shoes t from the
gremlin that lives around the cornel
from me.) As I was saying, there's
a woman-hater amongst us. I peek-
ed over the window sill to get in on a
discussion of the one Congresswoman
who voted against war after the
bombing of Pearl Harbor.
"That woman ought to be taken off
back of the barn and shot down like
a dog," was one forceful opinion a-
bout that unfortunate peacelover.
"Isn't that a bit drastic, Adell?"
a-ked Mr. Stuart.
'Not for a woman," was the snap,
py comeback.
Since the English IV classes
have been studying England's nation-
al epic, "Beowulf," any student can
tell you that an epic is a "long poem
about one person, embodying in that
person the main characteristics of a
nation of people." I think someone
ought to write an epic for Bastroj
High School. Something combining
the build of Rob Goode, the brain of
glutton for the stuff, I tell you.
Frank Wyatt and his date, Jane
Allen, were the Fish representatives
to the club. Did you ever learn to
play Gin Rummy, Jane, or did "other
matters" absorb your attention?
Those are convenient, big chairs when
strategically placed in dark corners,
I'll admit.
Pinky and Jean were there to-
gether, too. This is beginning to look-
like quite the case.
Laverne MacDonald—Where is Gil-
bert ?
There was a group of Junior stags,
Titsworth. Forte. Norment, Erhard,
and Smith that seemed to be having
the time of their lives — for better
or for worse, I was unable to decide.
Shirley looked quite forlorn and not
a little peeved sitting with a group
of girls. Not for long though. Judg-

pretty happy Friday night at the
party. Couldn't have been because
of the game, could it?

what a mess!
The other morning as I tripped
merrily along up the stairs with my
weather ear open for news. I found
my way blocked by the usual knot
of girls. You know the gang I mean.
Evelyn, Betty, Lois, Mildred, Janis,
Bonnie, Dot, Jeanne, Charline, Li-
nelle, all of them. And such going
on. As curious as I am by nature,
and name, even I hesitated to find
out what it was all about. ' Finally,
I gathered all my coutaee and crept
in among all the sockless feet (no
one could consider the girls of B.H.S.
in the 4bobby-sox" class,) and listened
as hard as I could. But that'r all the
good it did me. They were, as usual
all talki ,g at once, and this is all I

The Senior boys evidently weren't
particularly interested in having fun
with Our Gang, cause only Skeeter,
Rob, and Bill showed their faces.
Ami they, naturally, were stag.
Rob's been doing a lot of foot-loose

is it that you just can't find a gai.
Rob? What's the matter with the
rest of the Senior boys? As'hamed
of their faces? Amazing!
Of course, I can't condemn all of
them. Spud had a big intimate ex-
cuse — he and Nelly were around.
Even Snooper couldn't find out where,
but that's beside the point.
Bux and Danny can be forgiven, too.
They had 'business' in College Station.
By the way, Danny, did you ever really
reach a definite decision? Do you
think it's only polished brass, or is it
pure gold ?
I've been sworn to secrecy on a few
extra items, much to my sorrow.
(Blackmail, you understand.) This
should satisfy some of your friends
greed for gossip, though.
"Coach Rodgers is back! Coach
is here!" was the general cry Mon-
day morning. And 1 can see why.
Ummm! That man. He's got class!

he's been doing with our '44
Bears . . . the football team for the
work they've been putting out these

night's big game . . . Linelle, the
twirlers, and the whole Drum and '

fully to make the team proud of
it . . . the yell-leaders for their
peppy rallies.
And to the LaGrange Leopards, I
give , yes I do, too!
THE SNOOPER
SOCIETY
Friday night following the
tory over La Grange a dance
held in the gym. We were hojul
the kids of La Grange. There wi
also some students from
places here.
It really looked fine to see
many at a dance for a change
should invite kids from neighbori
high schools more often.
Next Saturday night the JuJ
Class is entertaining the high
with an informal dance at the
fectory at 8:30 p. m. They
expect a good rcpresentatic

(Continued from last week)
Being as I got rooked out of my
column last week, (not really, you
know. That's just my excuse for
getting the thing in late. Can I
help it if so much went on I near
'bouts went batty snooping? I com-

let you read what 1 had written and
that II save me from having to do
another one for this week. I'm not
lazy, I'm just tired!
Of course, you'll have to change
the last paragraph from I>eopards
to Brahmas. And some of the gos-
sip needs a little changing, too.
However, after having wandered
around B.H.S. halln as much as I
have lately, I begin to wonder why
on earth I try to report gossip. This
school has undoubtedly the most
"early perfect system of grapevine
communication that I have yet seen.
