Mystery Student

GIRL . . .

Did you see that girl just go up the hall singing her favorite song—”Donna?” She is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, and wears her hair in short black curls as usual. Her favorite foods are chicken and macaroni salad. She is usually found in a black station wagon with her girl friend.

She is always busy in school at the office, being useful with her services. Her greatest ambition is to be a typist.


BOY

You may have noticed this cute boy running—from what? Girls. They’re all after him. They can’t wait until noon and after School to get their hands on him, although I can hardly blame them. He’s got brown hair and blue eyes. He stands 4 ft., 4 inches tall. His favorite song is “I got Stung” by Elvis Presley. He has various crushes on older girls. His favorite food combination is Peanut butter, cake, salt and Ketch-up.

His ambition is to still have his charm when he gets older.

Mystery Students for last month were Karen and Joe Woods.
