As you all probably know, Lorena has one important outside interest. Haven’t you noticed her left hand? It won’t be long now before s])ring wedding bells will ring, provided L ' ncle Sam doesn’t issue a call befoi ' e then. WILLIAM LEE FISHER “Bill,” who came to Kings IMoun- tain High School from Mills Home High School, Thomasville, N. C., has a good record there.
