In The Mail Box…
Dear Sally,
Guess what? We got the proofs of our senior pictures back last Monday. They were all good but mine, and they flattered me.
My, was I surprised at how good everyone was on trick or treat night. I haven’t heard of any bus or other houses being turned over or destroyed. (Things sure are changing.) I remember one year they gave Widen a pretty hard time. I think it’s just fine to have fun on Halloween, but everything has to stop somewhere. Don’t you agree?
The seniors’ are planning a dance real soon. Do you think you and E— can come? There probably will be a lot of people there because we haven’t had one for a few weeks.
We had a nice assembly Wednesday. Mr. Elliott spoke to us. You know he is our new board member.
Because of some conflicting schedule, the Student Council lost some very good members (Five to be exact.) The seniors even gained a new president, Carol Neal.
We didn’t have school Tuesday, because of the election, and I must say I didn’t mind a bit.
The Journalism staff for every month, has been having its picture put in the paper. Look for mine. Our Journalism class also exchanges its school paper for papers from other schools. I think that is a very good idea. That way you see how other school papers are written. Do we get a paper from your school?
I told you I thought the Chemise dresses would go out of style, and they did. The dress most popular now is the trapeze. These dresses sure do murder a girls figure. Don’t they?
Don’t forget our date to go to the Army-Navy game over Thanksgiving holidays. Mom will die when she finds out the price of the tickets.
Love,
Coed
Dear Joe,
At last I have found time to write to you again. Why haven’t you been writing? I know there is something going on up there in New York all the time to write about. You are not lazy, are you? Here in Widen, school is more fun than it ever has been, but the subjects are a little harder. In English class we write compositions on some special fields every week. There is one class which I like much more than anyone; it is Journalism. We have a lot of fun and it is educational—“learning the ropes” and the publishing of a newspaper.
The week of November 10-15 is National Education Week. A lot of people have turned out to visit their children’s classes and their teachers.
Some of the boys who play basketball were caught smoking and they had to run an extra hundred laps around that big gymnasium, and I don’t think any of the boys would even want to smell a cigarette again.
These past weeks in November we have been getting off from school a lot. I bet the teachers are sorta angry because they are not getting to teach so much. We got off to vote but you know that none of us are old enough to vote. We got off the 11th of this month for Veterans’ Day. Everyone who has studied history would remember that day.
Well I will see you when K— and you come to visit friends here in Widen. These kids will sure be glad to see you.
