Editorial

This is the beginning of a new six weeks. I hope that everyone will try a little more and work a little harder this second six weeks. We are all grateful to Mrs. Stolly for passing us in English. She took our poor foundation in this subject into consideration when she made out her report cards.

The student body is grateful to the entire faculty for the way they have helped us with our many problems during the past six weeks. If a stranger should come into Forney High this week, he would find it rather hard to believe that the student body and faculty had only known each other for six weeks.

During the past weeks we have elected a very fine Student Council. The students may well be proud of them.

We may also be proud of our football squad. They’ve won six straight (no losses of course) and this isn’t a prediction or anything but I know we can win these other four. We’ll be even prouder of them after they win the last two, Bi-District and Regional.

To all of you — students, faculty, and townspeople – who have made this six weeks success, we thank you!

Do not read except, with eyes.

Not too official business.

Dear P.F.C. Maykus:

I’m writing you in regard to your disastrous defeat in the battle of “Bloody Bone Hill.” Where you and 1,000,000 men were nearly wiped out by “Red Devil Dan” and 100 gun totin’ Texas boys. I would like to inform you, Sir, that there is one more word in the Dictionary besides retreat! I’m putting you in charge of 13 of my sorest men. Your duty is to keep the grounds of the cmap clean. By the way salute before and after reading this letter.

Your Supreme Commander,

Corporal Moonshine Miller

P.S. One more mistake like the last one and you will be no longer.

It surely was. Kids my spies had to work overtime Tuesday night to get this chunk of gossip so don’t forget it ! ! ! It’s worth remembering.

Jo Anne Marshburn to David Yandell, “You Belong To Me.”

A certain girl to David Bannister, “I’ll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms.)”

Bernice Brooks to Charles Osborne, “Thirsty For Your Kisses.”

Marilyn Moore was with Sonny Miller after the sock-hop Friday night. She surely does get around! ! ! !

We not only heard that Yvonne Lee wanted to go with Truman Powell but she was with him Saturday night……………………..

Why won’t Sue Johnston tell us who’s F.F.A. pin she is wearing?????? She must want this to stay a secret///

Fancy Pants

Everett Ray Aslin really looked nice at the sock hop in his blue trousers, white shirt, and chartruese sweater.

That plaid long sleeved shirt of Donald Ray’s looks pretty sharp, too.

Mr. Fern Hendley (Edward Nichols) looked hep at the ballgame in his blue and white checked sport jacket and blue trousers.

Charles Osborne looked nice in his brown corduroy shirt the other day. Afterthought; he wore khaki pants with it.

Brooksy looked nice and loud in his red corduroy shirt. It’s a birthday present we hear. What else did you get Brooksy???

That sure was a pretty yellow corduroy shirt that Sonny had on the other day.

David Bannister did you skin the leopard to make that pretty shirt you had on last week? The shirt really looked nice, but I’ll bet the leopard looks funny, now.

A certain girl told me that Jimmy Adams looked awful cute at the sock-hop in his yellow nylon shirt and tan trousers.

Mr. Pinson had on a pretty tan pleated neck tie the other day.

Flash! Flash! We’ve found out that the “thing” around Mr. Sonntag’s neck last week was. It was a diaper. Now isn’t that sweet???????????????????????
