Cancer Society
Meets At Hall
By Pagoy MobUy
The person who set a spe-
cial day aside for “Mother’s
Day” sure picked the right
time of the year for the day.
With all of the special trips
planned at the schools that
demand the help of mothers,
the proms, the graduation
plans and ail the other things
■ that a mother is expected to do
right now, a pat on the back
sure does help.
So, Moms, if when you walk
into a room in your home and
everything gets quiet and the
whispering begins as soon as
you leave, just relax and wait
to be very surprised at being
remembered Sunday morning.

sociation has a set of plans for

SAD TALE:
If we attend a meeting we’ve
been nosy. If we don’t, we’re
not interested.
If we write an in-depth
story, it’s too long. If we con-
dense one, it’s incomplete.
If we take sides on an issue,
we’re prejudiced. If we don’t
we’re cowards.
If our clothes are clean and
pressed, we think we’re big
shots, if they aren't, we look
like movieland newspaper-
men.
If we’ve been around awhile,
it’s time for a change. If we
don’t stop and talk (deadlines,
you know) we’re too big for
our britches. If we do, that’s
all we’ve got to do anyway.
If we ask for advice, we’re
Incompetent, if we don’t, we
are know-it-alls.
If we make a mistake we
hear about it for weeks. If
we don’t we never hear about
It.
If we express an opinion,
we want to run the show. If
we don't how were we ever
raised?
If we misspell your name,
you never forget It. If we

CH Seniors
To Present
'Post Road’
It’s Senior Play time again
and the 1967 Class will pre-
sent their version of “Post
Road” at 8 p.m. Friday, May
19, in the High School audi-
torium.
There seems to be a ten-
dency to deride old maids and
yet there are so many in-
stances where they have risen
to greater heights than their
married sisters. Also most of
them manage to retain their
sense of humor. This may or
may not be due to their state
of single blessedness.
The heroine in “Post Road”
is a single lady who demon-
strates the efficiency, cour-
age and humor of her kind.
Clever lawbreakers overrun
her house and she seems to
be the only one who knows
how to cope with them.
Here is a play which de-
lighted Broadway for a whole
season and kept the audiences
in an alternate state of excite-
ment and merriment.
The Senior Class takes
pleasure in announcing this
delightful mystery play for
production on Friday evening,
May 19, at the High School
Auditorium.
School Bands

sented this week by Cedar
Hill School bands as a part of

tor, announced Tuesday.

presented at the regular PTA
meeting at 7;30 tonight in the
high school Cafeteria.
This concert will feature

in the high school auditorium.
The final concert of the
year, the music presented will

bers, concert band UIL Com-
petition music and a combined
