Good Laughs At
Chorus Rehersal
Rehearsals for “The Bartered
Bride,” the spring operetta, start-
ed last week. Highlighting these
rehearsals have been a piano tuner
and wild animals running around
the stage.
It seems that between every
song, Jack White would take the
front off the piano and attempt to
fix the notes,
Jerald Williams is still having
a wonderful time being chased
around the stage by all the pretty
girls.
Only the other night, a bear
skin, which comes under the title
of costumes, was being worn by
Buddy Polser. When he tried to
take it off, the head got stuck and
he almost broke up the rehearsal
by yelling for someone to “get him
out of there.”
For tickets to the operetta, see
anyone who is a member of the
chorus. Mrs. Knox Childress, di-
rector, announced that adult tick-
ets are 50 cents and student tick-
ets are 25 cents.
In an interview recently, Mar-
garet and Marilyn Harkins ap-
peared to be alike in, more than
looks. They agreed on nearly ev-
erything. They decided that they
liked being twins mainly because
there wasn’t anything they could
do about it.
Margaret wouldn’t be a twin if
she had her choice, but Marilyn
said that she would because she
“wouldn’t know how to act” if
there was only one of her.

Last Wednesday’s assembly pro-
gram was highlighted by an ex-
planation of the F. F. A. emblem
and the presentation of the foot-
ball jackets, with the F. F. A.
chapter and the athletics depart-
ment in charge of the program.
Maurice Pentecost opened the
F. F. A. program with the expla-
nation of the National Future
Farmers emblem. Wayland Wright
presented Sylvia Wilhite as the
sweetheart for the school year of
1954-55.
A brass band composed of F.F.A.
members played two numbers and
then Richard Stephens, Jimmy
Galbrieth, and Wesley Curtis sang
and played a few western songs.
Coaches Russell Coffee and Her-
bert Zimmerman presented the
football jackets to the 1954-55
Kangaroos and the Football sweet-
heart, Joan Byers. The football
captains, Dan Bowden, Paul Mar-
tin, and Kenneth Korges then pre-
sented to the school, the bi-dis-
trict trophy won by the ‘Roos last
Fall.
Both twins decided that twins
were too much trouble, and so
neither one wants twin children.
Margaret stated that her most
embarrassing moment came when
her date started to walk out the
door with the wrong twin. Her
most thrilling moment was meet-
ing Audie Murphy in the Cream-
land Cafe.
Margaret favors pink for a fa-
vorite color, while Marilyn likes
aqua,
They both plan to go to the
University of Arkansas, and Mar-
garet plans to be a sceretary.
Marilyn’s likes include ice
skating, eating, playing the piano,
riding horses, and driving her car.
Margaret prefers picture shows,
chocolate sundaes when Jan Terry
pays for them, boys, riding in the
car, and eating.
The top dislikes on Margaret’s
list are silly people, diets, con-
ceited people, or being stood up.
Marilyn dislikes lessons, diets, and
hateful people.
