WAY BACK WHEN IRGE AND Do you remember when: Melvin Williams stumped his toe on a brick at the library and nearly fell down because he was so embarrassed in Mary Louise's presence? Martha Moore and Billie St. John had a terrible crush on each other? Mary Louise Duncan thought Dale Parker the most ingenious lad in the world because he shaved off his eye- brows? Ruth Myers suddenly lost her love for Bob Mahan because Jimmy Nash said she'd have to soak his feet in hot water when he had a bad cold? Alice Forbes was crazy about Alan Johnston ? Katherine Roberts broke a young man's heart because she absolutely refused to look at him, speak to him, or answer his pleading notes? Jimmy Nash broke a quart can con- taining a pickled snake, spilled the stuff all over him, and nearly suffo- cated the whole biology class? cu ...,,,, Joe Tilford used to sing Rock-a-bye Baby so loud in his newly acquired bass that you could hear him above the whole junior high school? Miss Pearce called Hubert Scott her model boy because he held his should- ers straight for her? Martha Lon Hinkle had red hair? Tracy Hadley used to blow his fog horn of a nose to irritate Miss Hen- ley? Dorothy Hammonds and June Stew- art were dear enemies over Beanie Neal? Miss Doris McDaniel carried Joy Smith around in her arms at recess? Hobart Moore was more than pleas- antly plump? All the boys gave Ralph Lewis a licking because their girls had fallen so hard for him after the junior class play? This page through courtesy of A. O. Carter
