HILTON EDWARDS Bosco JUYNE SNYDER Hats MERLENE DOWDY Midget JIMMY SCHMIDT Smitty MARY FAYE HUMPHRIES- Stubborn Another Sophomore. She's a cheerleader, school favorite, F. H. A. secretary and quite a girl with plenty of zip and sparkle. A Junior, is known for her beautiful hair. She was voted school favorite and the ball players thought she made a pretty picture as Basketball Queen. The quiet red head at school who has big plans for the future. Strawberry blonde with eyes that always sparkle. She's a Senior and can out talk anyone. Betty wrote the Pirata calendar, was basket- ball queen attendant and is F. H. A. song leader. A Junior and secretary of her class. She is the little imp who por- trayed Penny in the Junior class play. Sweetness personified, Sara is the Heath musician. She plays everything from jazz to Beethoven. She's one of the best and always around when you need her. She's Bob's girl! Known for originality and her sweet manners. She's easily who's who. A Senior who is very straightforward in the way we like. She's Pirata business manager, was in the Junior-Senior play. She's also a librarian and pianist. Very intellectual. A Senior who is the fastest typist at H. H. S. It seems she's going to change typing for housekeeping. Elinor is treasurer of the class and one of the most deserving. He should be a preacher. Easy going and nothing ever bothers him. Plays ball, worries about Lettie and is Farm Crazy. She never says anything but we know she thinks because she has a wide awake look. Jackie and Jessie, practically twins, always dancing. We could tell you where, too. Her ambition is to be a bubble dancer. She's always acting crazy and we sometimes wonder if she has a brain. Bashful, never did like English but he tries anything. Class poet. His mind dwells on higher things. Sebree plays the sax, possesses a nice voice and his writings are something to be admired next to Shakespeare. She wants to be a pilot and say good-bye to shorthand. If you don't know her, you are missing something. Pirata Typist, the studious blonde who is very cute in an apron and loves to cook for her better half-Jimmie. Quiet but always willing to do her part. One of that inseparable trio, Jimmy, Elinor and Ginny! The quiet manner in which he tackles his work is to be admired. He's the only boy who makes all A's. She wants to look pretty for the boy friend so she rolls her hair at school for that nite. Ball player and he would do anything for you. Good as Gold! Oh, another married girl who takes time out to visit hubby! Having a time with Frogie, but still flashing that ring. Which sparkles most-the diamond or her brown eyes? Jimmy is Gloria's protege. We wonder if he has ever become a true hepcat? She doesn't like to study, but maybe if she was at Lone Oak she would be satisfied. Page eighty-tbree

MISS' COLLEEN PARKER 1946 Qarnivaf Queen Our biggest event of the school year, the 1946 Hallowe'en Carnival, was held in gay splendor. It was a great success and the Seniors came through to win their candidate, the seat of Queen of the Carnival. This activity was entered into by all classes of the school. For two Weeks, classes did just about everything imaginable to raise hay for their candidate and finally on the night of the carnival, the winner was announced. Miss Colleen Parker was Carnival Queen of 1946. The carnival was gay and giddy. It started off with the music classes giving a short minstrel and then came the grand march. The costumes were all very clever and our friends and teachers looked vaguely familiar and comical in those clown and witch outfits. Cake walks, bingo and an auction were entered into by all. Each class gave some small stunt or program for the bene- fit of the carnival. Perhaps the most amusing and cleverest stunt of all was the freak show staged by the Junior class. The freaks were cer- tainly freaks. The coronation which was very picturesque, was held after most of the things had drawn to a finish. Evelyn Hopper arranged and made this part a success. As the curtain was being drawn, one could see before him, rows of pumpkins and a big kettle sitting in a field. A magician en- tered and by touching the pumpkins with his magic wand, the candidates appeared one by one. With a few majestic words, the queen appeared out of the kettle and a crown, floating down out of the air, was placed on her head. The candidate with the highest number of votes from the grades was Vojai Meredith, from the fifth grade. In The Halls of School One never knows the things that are going on around school until you stroll down the halls and see and overhear the various conversations and actions of these Heatherns. For instance, Bar- bara Harris, Bobby Bradford, Ethelyne Thomp- son, Leonard Elrod, Mary Ruth Anderson, Bill Boyd, Faye Jordon and Harold Elliot. Three of these couples have started saving pennies for the future. Could it mean matrimony? Does Billy Carter like T-Bones as well as Barbara Carroll does? Wonder where Marion Fletcher will be this time next year as Jimmie will be in the service? Wonder what will happen in the Parker- Thompson affair when he comes home to stay? Will Carolyn get Glenn or will he keep her dangling? We know why Glisson looks so sad -she recently had a letter from Jimmie saying that he woulcln't be home for quite awhile. What happened to Warren Smith on his birthday? Robert loves Melvia. This may be kid stuff but we hear it a lot from him. Peggy keeps them all fooled-watch her Joe. As I walk along the halls who should I hear but Betty Lowe telling one of her tall tales. Dorris is always singing I Have To Do It the Hard Way. Wonder why? We hear that Elinor has a man and a house waiting for her. Why are you waiting so long? Why does Bosco call every one Honey? Could he be fooling all of us? Why is Merlene all smiles? Well, take a Page eighly-ive
