Here's the good ole' U. N. C. The football team is brilliantly coached by James Mead- lock. I learned that Paul Dean Watts had just signed to play basketball with the New York Globe Trotters. I was surprised to see Jana Elder, Marie Oliver, and Exie Robinette dressed in nurses' uniforms. These girls are 11ow registered nurses. The Cadet Nurses Corps retained its best nurses for the Army of Occupation. Evelyn Wike and Betty Sue Coonse happened to be two of these lucky ones. I just have to float over Taylorsville and Taylorsville High to see what's going on! Why, tl1ere's Sandra Motsinger with a room full of little school children and they love her so much. I also see Lona Louise Barnes, a commercial teacher. Gliding over Mai11 Street, I see the Barnes' Funeral Home, formerly the Adams', now owned and managed by Roy Neil Barnes. I see the former Pat Murphy caring for her family of four. I am happy to know that Jo Ann Tevepaugh and Betty Wike have made successful tele- phone operators. Louise Barnes is a stenographer for the mayor of Taylorsville. I don't know whether her oliice experience at T. H. S. or her politics was responsible for this excellent position. Whoops! I almost bumped into Leon Bowman, champion flag pole sitter of the world. Bonnie Sipe prepares his meals and sends them up in a basket along with a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Time for intermission! the sun announces as the curtain rings down and the lights come on for Act 1. Guess I'll relax for a puff of dust. At the rising of the curtain, I find myself floating along the Oregon Coast up into Wash- ton. I seem to be the only cloud. It's so peaceful here! I grab my fleecy parts about me as I see Rowe Teague counting the number of salmon in the Columbia River while his secretary, Hurshel Teague, keeps the records straight. Don Reid is known in the lumber business for his ability to top the tallest trees without breaking any limbs. Why am I crying? What a play! No, the tears are from Old Faithful, which caught me off guard. Betty Lou Pennell is a guide here in Yellowstone National Park. Where is my buddy John Bentley going with all that meat? Is he that hungry? I see now that he is keeper of the bears. While resting between acts, I heard a familiar phrase which brought tears to my eyes, We,re gonna fight and we'll win for the Purple and Gold. I hurriedly blow my nose, thus disturbing several other clouds around me. Hold yourself together! one yelled as the scene changed to the VVindy City where Shirley Loudermelk keeps a record of the wind. A radio wave hits me and, as I recover from the shock, I hear Lynn Echerd, the famous Uncle Remus. He is loved by all the kiddies, and Shirley Harrington keeps a record of his fan mail. Where's the crowd headed? I wandered-I mean wondered. To the wrestling matches, comes the reply. Of course, Shirley Mullis, lady wrestling champion of the World, is going to tackle Wakefield Bentley, winner of the 1nen's wrestling matches. Wish I had a ticket to see it! Oh, well, I know it will be a close match. As the show draws to an end, I see Jack Bebber plodding westward. He has undertaken the job of seeing how many steps it will take to walk across the United States. Jo Ann Parker flies above him in a homemade helicopter. She has already counted a zillion steps. The final curtain rings down and the actors appear again, they are greeted with tremendous applause. As I fade into the mist, the footlights dim in the great theater, The VVorld, and I hear the refrain: DUTY AND TRUTH AND HONOR THESE MAY WE LEAVE OUR . ALMA MATERH . -NELL Rosa MoosE
