4—THE J-TAC
Tuesday, March 12, 1957
LOWS AND
ETTICOATS
BY BARBARA RICHARDSON
Aciinq Feature Editor
This author overheard the criti-
cism, "There's nothing gossipy in
the J-TAC anymore. I think there
should be," the critic continued,
and then turned to me, "Not even
your column has gossip in it."
As gossip columns are consider-
ed extremely puerile in school
papers and hickish in professional
news papers by all authorities, this
author will conform with the au-
thorities but put one leg on the
other side of the fence arid at-
tempt to satisfy her critics. -
Senior Couples
By stating the eold facts of who
is dating who and not inserting
any insidious or snide remarks, it
is a known possibility that both
sets of critics may be satisfied.
Let's hope so at least . . .
Senior couples who began dat-
ing regularly last year and the at-
traction seems to still be linger-
ing through the rigors of two
school years are Mary Ann Dan-
nenfelsev and Tom Gilmore, both
of Fort Worth. Don Casselberry of
Kaufman and Paula Hester " of
Odessa may vary away from each
other at times but so far it has
been only to return to one another
i'gin.
Freshman Couples
Among the freshman couples
who have eptomized the look yf
the number one hit song of the
nation, "Young Love," are Janie
Dowdy of Clifton and Bobby Pack
of Waco. Delen Tadlock of Fort
Worth and Bob Davis of Justin, I
freshman and senior respectively,
cpuld also be included in this cate-
gory.
Just dating along are the "Bobs,"
that is Bobby Rehm of Rockwood
and Bob Almond of Kerinit, Jo
Ann Bailey of Dublin and Gene
Casselberry of Kaufman; Rosa-
lind Saylor of Goldthwaite and
Tommy Beidleman of Snyder; and
Estelle Clayton of Katy and Todd
Crowell of Fort Worth.
Well, that is enough "yellow
journalism" for one issue, so onp
to better topics . . .
Outside Door
When the coeds go out the out-
side door of Lower Moody, they are
seriously scolded by a vanilla-coat-
ed little squirrel perched high up
in the limbs of the bare trees. Per-
haps he is scolding the girls for
slamming the heavy door so hard,
but what ever his gripe is all about
it is ineffective.
Joy Stockton of Groesbeck won
16 silver dollars at bank night at
the Majestic theater Tuesday night
If everyone thought they had her
luck and intelligence they might
have hopes of something like the
".f6'l,000 Question" of television
fame and fortune (for those who
win on it). The first nuestion Joy
had to answer was, "What is yout
name?"
Oh yes, give hope of begging,
borrowing, or stealing even one of
the silver dollars from her. It has
been tried and failure met each
attempt.
