CHIT-CHAT
Bob Blake and Tot Connor kinda
, like the new girl who started to
I School Monday. Her name is Maxine
Ambum and incidently, believe it
or not, she is Coach Ambum’s cou
sin.
Glen Brotherton has another new
i Wieart beat, it’s none other than
I *Velda Haws.
Say, I’ve been around lately and
there is Betty M. talking about her
boy friend she went with the other
night. His name was Carl Martin.
I^pay, you better be good, Carl .
1 Chit-chat—What’s that, oh gee,
it’s Coach Jones giving his Texas
history class another DAILY TEST.
Getting to be a habit.
We’ve been watching John Cullers
l|n study hall lately. He talks quite
■a bit, but John doesn’t even men-
tion anything about a girl.
Chit-chat, who do we hear now,
oh gee, we’ve reaUy got a swell
I Jeacher now. Mr. Burkhalter Is our
I8kmerican history teacher.
Lazily I walked upon third floor
and there’s Pat P. talking about
something. Say, Pat, who’s your girl
now?
Oh, by the way girls, you better
H^ick you a boy friend out right
away, cause you know in a about
two months we go to the junior-
senior banquet, (we hope).
Lorene Reaves, sitting very lone-
like the other day, happened to
^ell me her boy friend is on his
way to Pearl Harbor. We wish him
luck.
Oh my, there’s Sylvia Mix. She
has on a FFA pen too. I didn’t
bsnow you were a Future Farmer,
y Say, what’s this about some body’s
I romance being over out Kelton way?
Could it be Jane Z?
Oh gee, an announcement just
i came around that Colonel wants to
|g|ee all band students after school.
Sound bad, what’s wrong with the
pupils, Colonel?
Mary Roden isn’t staying at home
these nights, could It be T. M. D.
is to blame?
-*
cut out of the daily papers of Thurs-
day and Friday. Could it be because
the Texas History class has current
events on Friday.
Troice Young sure does look cute
with her bargo.
What did Marjorie P. do with her
senior ring?
Did you know Mr. Ambum doesn’t
like gum or notes.
How did you say you lost your car
key, A. W.?
Why don’t the boys let certain
girls see their knives? Maybe Mrs.
Baird was right when she said, “A
knife is part of a boy’s clothes."
How did Bill Foe M. get his old
back seat in the study Hall? He
sat by the fire one day you know.
You can sure see all the awards
shining these days. Only I didn’t
know that girls were so active;
they go out for football and boxing.
Homer G. Ewton Is going to wear
his football out giving It to Lola
Faye and taking it away from her,
I wish they would make up their
minds.
Wonder why John Cullers doesn’t
go with anyone. Or Is it any of
our business.
Why don’t the tall girls in high
school go out for Basketball?
One way to save Is to eat at
eleven (12 now). No one Is hungry;
it saves food as well as electricity.
She Snoops to Conquer
Just as I crawled In bed Sunday
f night at ten o’clock the clock struck
deven. Get it?—the clock had been
limed up.
Why are there so many columns

After Bill Joe made his speech

Wild Irish Ideas
Wouldn’t it be funny if every
student in S. H. S. were making all
A’s.
It would be unusual If Homer
Gene and Lola Faye weren’t fussing
over something.
If all the algebra Students of
second period had all their alge-
bra. Mrs. Shelton would faint.
Can you imagine “Chump” Cal-

Can you Imagine Thurman and
Gloria not teasing a certain little

(Wonder whom they are' from.)
Don’t you think Minnie Katherine

I heard Chump just adores plain

PASSING PARADE
By Virginia Davis
There is a river that is called the
stream of time, and each year a
boat comes drifting by, bearing off
friends and acquaintances.
When I first stood on the bank
of this river four years ago, 1 was
a freshman in dear old S. H. S. The
boat that passed by that year was
marked "Seniors 1939” and among
the passengers were Helen Brewer,
Hugh Lyle, Jewel Willingham, T.
C. Davis, Amos Wilson, T. V. Wade
and many other. But the faces are
now vague In my mind, and some
are gone and forgotten forever.
Then came a boat labeled “Sen-
iors 1940”. The faces of the occu-
pants of this boat were stamped
quite indelibly upon my mind, and
I believe that some of those faces
shall never be forgotten. To me
this was a “red-letter” year in my
high school career for I was now
a sophomore. And among my friends
and acquaintances who passed on
down the river that year were
Charlie Allen, Dorothy Hall, Freda
Nell Holmes, Gene Lanford, Ruth
Tilley, Betty Duncan and numerous
others. Yes, they are gone but not
forgotten.
And then another boat came by.
A boat filled with very recent class-
mates, “Seniors of 1941.” Again the
faces were very clear and plain.
They were Mayon Goodrich, Vaughn
Lister, Dorthy Gene Dixon, Paul
Boston, Shirley Brown, Marilyn
Bearrow, Helen Palmer.
But stop! They are going by faster
and faster and faster. I fear that
I shall not watch any more boats
pass for the next one will be named
“Seniors 1942”. That means that I
shall be one of the passengers and
that some one else will be watching
my boat float down the river and
out into the gulf of life. Then we’ll
be just another boat In a passing
parade.
Neighborhood Gossip
Countess McDonald and Evelyn
B. must have something In common.
They may be seen gossiping almost
any time.
Boys! Attention! Have you noticed
the new student? Maxine Ambum?
HinL to boys who give (or gave)
candy for Valentine. It’s very fat-
tening and there’s a sugar shortage;
so why not substitute.
What’s this we hear about Avery
Miller’s girl In Arkansas! Tell us
more, Avery.
All of the teachers seemed to be
In a test giving mood. Every person
I talked to said “Whew, can she give
a hard test” and six weeks test
only a week away?
Have you seen lone Durham and
Erdene Henry’s fashion of shoe-
laces? It’s quite clever and practical
too.
Will some one tell us who Harold
William’s girl is? We’ve snooped and
snooped but to no avail.
Lonely Hearts
Dear You,
I’ve stayed at home long enough.
Now I wish to have fun. Do I have
to have it by myself?
Fearfully yours,
Maurine Jeter
Dear You,
I am a young girl in my teens
and I am very lonely. Will some
one come to my rescue?
Lonely yours,
Troice Young
Dear You,
I ones was happy and gay. And
nothing made be blue, now he’s
broken my heart and made me sad.
I need some one to cheer me up,
so help me find some one, won’t
you?
Tearfully yours,
Erdene Henry

VALENTINE’ DAY
Odena Bodges
S, R. S. HIT PARADE
1. “This Love of Mine.”
2. “A Sinner Kissed An Angel.”
3. “Blues In The Night.”
4. “The Shrine of St. Cecilia.”
5. “White Cliffs of Dover.”
6. Shepherd's Serenade.”
7. "Elmer’s Tune.”
8. "Chattanooga Choo Choo,”
9. "Birth of the Blues.”
10. “Greenfield, Ohio.”
My boy friend is nice; I think he's
dandy;
He always sends me flowers and
candy,
But I like him most on Valentine
Day
’Course he sends me a valentine
even when he’s away
But the loveliest one he has ever
sent me
Is where It tells of St. Valentine’s
history.
“Valentines Day comes from long
ago,
It came of a man’s great love, a
glow.
It grew and lived the ages old.
Many are the years but never shall
it grow old.”
Maybe this man was forsaken In
love.
He then designed paper and fash-
ioned a dove,
Trimmed it in old lace with beauti-
ful words entwined,
And wrote the old words "I love
you” and “Be my valentine.”
Something sweet has been added to
to words so sweet
“Be my valentine,” to be stamped
on many hearts so deep.
Perhaps he then made the image
of his own heart
And fashioned a bow and a Cupid’s
dart.
St. Valentine’s Days have brought
countless joys,
With happiness and fun for every
girl and boy.
Forgotten may be some holiday
But never, never St. Valentine’s Day.
