HALLOWEEN DANCE The Explorers of Post 'l50 will hold a Halloween Dance October 31. Dancing will begin at 7 o'clock until 10 o'clock. Admission will be 30 cents a couple and 50 cents for stags. Cokes, cookies, and candied- apples will be sold. There will also be a fortuneteller there to tell your fortune. Be sure and wear your Halloween costume because there will be a prize giv- en for the best one. The dance will be held at the Botary Scout Hut at 2510 Demp- sey Street Cacross the street from the Girl Scout I-Iutj. Everyone is welcome, so be sure and come. The Catis lVleow Canteen sure is getting to be a lot of fun, especially for certain kids, Billy Howell certainly does enejoy dancing with Sandra Riley. He lights up like a neon sign, every Saturday night. lVI1nnm1 I see we have a few kids from VVynn Scale this year. And from the looks of them their going to be pretty popular. They're Janice Pulliurn. Ronald Green, Jimmy Mc- Horse. J, VV. lVIartin's new also. Het hails from North Side. Man dig that new cheerleader this rear, boy whoever goes with her is sure lucky. and who else wouldn't I be talking about? but Blanche Duff. I wonder who Buzzy I-Iart and Fred Horne like now? I know its some nice cute chicks, Ginger Bed- ingfield and some of the other girls have been making like singers every day at lunch. Or Iet's put it this way, their trying to. Doesn't Josephine Flores make a darling cheerleader, well as far as that goes they all do. VVhen Linda Crofford falls for some one, she falls like a falling rocket and man that's fast. Ha, ha, wouldn't Louis Leal look funny with red hair? Did you see Glenda Bennett hit a home run and she got to second base too, while playing football the other day. Seems like Beverly Couch has been making eyes at a blond headed boy in the 3rd period choir. Sits right beside her too. VVouder who the boy is Betty Mull likes now. Oh, Oh, shouldn't have ask her. she's going with a boy from Miller High. Well, what do you know, we got all three Lucas here this year. They come in this order, Milte, Linda, and that cute little Billie. You know, maybe I shouldn't say little, but big. Do you think Sarah Jane Smith will get the boy she wants, well she sure won't have to try very hard. J. VV. Alylen sure likes his hunting gun, I believe its his best friend, to tell the truth. KI wonder how Hynie Ky Glasgow, is getting along in his Algebra. I-Ia, ha.j Can you imagine Bobo Beynon not flirting with all the girls, especially the ninth grade ones. Well, I had better bring this column to an end, or it might be the end of 1ne. From, The Editoris Desk I-Iey, kids. how many of you have bought your annual? They're going fast and they'll be better than ever this year. There are going to be 600 disappointed faces November 10th, when some students find out no more annuals can be ordered. The sooner you get your deposit in the better our annual will be. Make your deposit today and we guarantee you the best annual in town.-Mary Mosel. ri fa- M.. ,.

Mr. Prices homeroom voted on sending a package to Care, for the to in of in poor and needy people, We ought think of those poor people once a while. How many hundreds people in other countries wake up the morning and find they have nothing to eat. When we go to the grocery store we see more meat than these people have ever seen in their whole life. The children might not have winter clothes to wear during the cold win- ter months. fast and warm clothes for granted. Maybe that's why we sometimes forget about the needy people.
