9 The LAUREL 9 Dear Diary Dear Diary: Quite an evening-a large evening in fact! VVhen Shirley Badge H and I decided to go to the movies, little did we realize how many of our classmates would be abroad. On the way we met Arthur Lambertn and Ululianne Lincolna' also movie bound. At the box oflice there was Goldena Thomas selling tickets, Glennys Haley popcorn, and 'A Guy Brannv taking tickets. Harriet Sturtevantv ushered us to our seats. As we came out after the show, we met A'Donald Turnern and Betty Hawesl' talking about going to Wilton to see the second show of Everybody Does It. We were wondering how we could get over there when by some coincidence Robert Barkerh and uloanne Hodge happened along. We asked them if they would give us a ride to Wilton. They jumped at the idea. We were no sooner on our way than Theodore Bradley and 'LLorraine Niesn passed us. As they went by, Clare Greenlawn and Pat Iones waved to us from the back seat. Entering the theater, we met Peggy Iohnson and Alan Smithn leaving, who cautioned Watch your step, it's dark in there. As we became accustomed to the dark, we noticed Wayne Mowattn and uludy Flint sitting right in front of us, and Fred Pillsbury behind us, also George Pillsbury and Verna Lucef' They said, Stop that neckingf' On the way home we passed Charles Murray and Nadine Folgerf, Charley yells, Where is the HreFl' We answered, 'Lln the stove.', As George's skating rink was in full swing, we decided to stop. Caroll Lesperancen and Glenda Lamkin were skating, Lonnie Richards and Helen Witheyw sitting by the Fire getting warm, and in the windbreakers Phillip Hobbs and Barbara Crosbyw getting into their skates. At the stand Kenneth Churchill was buying uleannette Waiteu a hot dog. We then went over to Stewart's for an ice cream. There L'Ronald Wing and Merle Smith were very busy at the pin-hall machine. From there we decided to go to the Youth Center. On our way 'iAlbion Tracy happened along and gave us a ride. At the Center, l'Blaine Robinson and h'Philip Gendreauw we found playing ping-pong at one table, while Avis Hopkins and Robert Alexanderu were at another. At still another table a game of checkers was in progress between Kenneth VVagner and Ioyce VVrightf' 'iWalter XVebber,' and Lloyd Meader' were partners against Sylvia Hodgkinsu and Velma Harris. was dancing with Freda Lauris Bailey with Leita Hodgkinsu and Vernon Sue McMackin Farrington and Lovellf' Iohn Hodgkinsv were David Bosworthu left. Faye Hargreaves and '4Virginia Pond were so engrossed in a book entitled A'How To Get Your Mann, Dianne Soule walked over and said 'LBetter join the 'Lonely Hearts Club'!', As it was about nine o'clock, we prepared to leave. 'ADoris Conleyl' asked if we weren't going to help clean up. We said no Betty Metcalf, and Hlanice Robbinss' said they would. Down High Street we met L'Rachel Stevensu going home. At Magoni's we found 'iArthur QContinued on page ISQ late arrivals, as Hazel and
