TiVve^alT heard the sad news
, t we’re losing Captain Jenkins,
Zi of the ROTC unit at high
he . Resides being a good offi
ac-10° eBhas been a swell fella’
jTliv one of the crowd! Good luck,
CcTTipv Brown’s backyard was
.7 ,cene of the regular Bible Club
7al this past Saturday night. It
*7 the first party given by the
club this year, so it was only for
L members. A large crowd filled
I yard and sho’ had a good time.
I iss Charley May Cunningham,
new Bible teacher at high school,
moke on her life as a missionary
eacher in Mexico. This was the
first time that many of the stu
dents had met Miss Cunningham,
hut already she holds her own
.IaCe on the popularity list of the
students. Miss Maude Weber, head
of the Bible department at NHHS,
was also present. She is well loved
,... nii jhH always a welcomed
member of any gathering.
Orchids this week go to Winifred
Harriss and her committee who did
such a wonderful job in compiling
a telephone directory of all the stu
dents in NHHS. I have seen one of
the copies and it is complete' and
perfect in every detail. While talk
ing with Mr. Hamilton he told me
his hat was off to Winifred for the
find job. Our hats are off to you,
too. Thanks!
Friends of Mickey Hartis were
deeply saddened to here of the
death of her mother who has been
ill for sometime. Sara Ann Eaton,
Betty Yopp, Grade Gurganius,
Jane McAdams, Tony Patelas, Bob
by Melton, Frank Bradley, Bobby
McKenzie, Donald Brown, and Mai
sie Brown, of the Glee Club, sang
at the funeral. Sara Ann sang a
very beautiful solo, “Safe in the
Arms of Jesus” and was accom
panied by Eugene Mauney at the
piano.
It seems as if Sara Ann Is In
great demand these days and no
wonder with the lovely voice she
has. This past week she sang for
the Civitans and everyday she has
to sing at least one song from the
operetta in which she has the lead.
Even those who are out of school
are familiar with Tommy Head and
his outstanding swing band. But
now Tommy has put away his
trumpet and, gathering up his
books! has left us to enter Wake
Forest College. We’re going to miss
him, but we know he’ll do real
well. Study hard, Tommy. We’ll
take care of Pattie for you. Ken
Kavanaugh, newly discharged vet
eran, has taken over the band and
is fulfilling many engagements.
Some of us remember the band
that Ken used to have that really

W. Fred Masanz of Fort Wayne, Ind., whose engagement and ap
proaching marriage is announced to Thomas Badham Polvogt, Jr.,
sergeant major, United States Marine Corps.
made a name for itself. Who has
forgotten Walter Barnes on the
trumpet, or Fuzzy Batson on the
bass fiddle or more usually the
saxaphone? And, will there ever be
another Bobby Russ on those
drums? And, what about Ben Clay
ton who really used to beat out
a mean boogie on those ivories?
And, of course there was Ken on
that clarinet with a style all his
own. Yes, these were the good r>i
days, and as soon as these hoys
return from service, I hope they’ll
get together again for one of those
good ole jam sessions that only this
combination of boys can produce!
Dick Piner is the fella who re
ceived all the “Welcome homes”
this week. And he really holds up
the tradition of all “swabbies” be
ing swell-looking boys!
Congratulations to Anna Kamer
for being elected president of the
senior chapter of the girls Hi-Y.
She will serve til the end of the
year. Other officers are vice-presi
dent Jean Shields; secretary,
Mary Ann Spillman; treasurer,
Sara Williams; devotional chair
man, Eloise Wilson; and yours
truly social chairman.
That about does it for the week’s
happenings around good ole Wil
mington. Lots of people went to
hear Charlie Spivak in Chapel Hill
this week-end, but still lots more
stayed home and those that did had
a mighty fine time here in a mighty
fine place!
Until next time, it’s “So long!
