The Mud Puddle Dust Bowl
Since the sudden change in
weather, we have plenty of mud
around school to go with all the
dirty saddle shoes and other
mino$ things.
While snooping around I find
many things that are of interest
to everyone, but no one can real
ly tell just what has been doing
all the squealing. To begin with
—Smbkey Anderson has been
trying to get a date with Barbara
Finch.—Andy Swan still that
way over Marylin Bragg.—Bud
Jennings has fallen for Paula
Kettleson, and also has Jim Lar
imer fallen for Jennings’ little'
sister.—We wonder .about Claud
ia and Donovan, well time will
tell.—Phyllis Miller remarks that
she wouldn’t mind going to
, Sherwood high school because
everyone seems to be “screwy”.
there, or that is she means Fred- ■
dy R., we think.—Patsy Goodrich .
is having a grand time with ai
certain R. M. and B. H., how do
you handle both of them, Pat?—1
Dorothy Domeyer is writing to a !
certain soldier at McChord Field. !
—Jane Aden and a fellow by the I
name of Bob ? (he won’t tell)/
are really getting pretty friendly
lately, or that’s that way I heard
it.—We hear Catherine Irons is a
sweet little apple polisher.—
Bernice and Jane are still unde-
sided about the Prom or the
skating party, they seem to keep
changing their minds, but we
think that Bernice has definitely
decided since Tuesday night.—
Eileen Davis has been wearing a
diamond, not bad.—Gloria Plan
ton Seems to know something
that she won’t tell.—•

Its From the
KARMELKORN SHOP
Main Street
Bill Rakel wondering who
sent him a bid to Sherwood’s
Prom. A secret admirer no doubt!!
. . . Barbara White is sure stay
ing in her own backyard lately.
Must be Yehudi and love. Maybe
you’ve been wondering who
Rheta Moreland’s Milwaukie let
terman is. , Well, we’ve been
wondering, too. . . . First Gene
Vinson acquires the nickname of
“Tex,” because he is supposed
to be a cowboy and now Don
Readhead acquires “Cassanova.”
Quote, “Like grapenuts there’s a
reason,” unquote. What is it? > .
Francis Dobson seen on the oth
er side of the “Mighty Willa-met
River” with a tall blond often
enough to set us to thinking.
. . . Cap Kruse either blushing or
playing dumb whenever Gladys
ar Platinum blondes are men
tioned. . . . Connie Dyun and
Howard Barry making love to
each other in first period English
class. Nothing serious unless you
care to call a comedy (play) se
rious. ... John Grossmann wan
dering about seventh period with
the duckiest little wreath of
flowers on his, head. . . . Since
Jim Otis was voted the best
looking freshman at Oregon, Bet
ty Taylor should be having a
time looking out. . . . Has Jack
Heft made up his mind that
there is no place like home
(West Linn), or is he just tired
for the time being of Lincoln,
Oregon City, and Edison? . . .
