EDITORIAL
Ho! Hum! Of all times! Re-
view week. Well I guess that's
jet tied as it seems everyone every
year just before finals has to go
through something which the tea-
chers term "review week"; but
to most of us it's just another
week. Yep, that's right. Those
master-minds evidently believe we
are master-minds, I think some-
times. How about you? We all
dread tfhem because when out
report cards come out they are
always spotted with red marks
which finals have a part in. But;
now we say Luck to one teachei
we hope because she like every-
one else believes there will conic
a day when there will be no re-
port cards. Could be possible but
then that day will come when we
are already dead and gone be-
cause it didn't come before we
got through. Oh well, I suppose
we'll all be here ready to start
them next week and so the Hi-Life
Staff wishes everyone may pas,-,
with flying colors.
The Hi-Life Staff also wishe
to say "Congratulations" to i'
sponsor, Mrs. Jones, on her birth-
day this week.

Interviews
PiLTTy WILLIAM ' was horn in I
the Memorial Hospital in Hon,-- ;
ton, Texas. Scpten -her 1!, 1 i : . j
She continued to live in Hon. to . I
about twelve year.-. After her
sixth year in chool in Houston
she moved to I.ockbart then to
Austin. After living there nwh!
she moved to Basirop and .>ega!.
school the seventh made in
1 ! •!!?. She ha- "-mained in Bas-
trop since. ;uid thi.- year she ha
reacherl })> last step toward her
goal. After she finishes schoo.
she intends either to attend Dur-
hams Business College or Nixon
Clay in Austin and after finishing
business : Itool she wants to b ■
a secretary in Houston. When she
goes to Houston she is looking
forward to taking either voice
or dancing lessons.
Some of her likes and dislikes
are:
DISLIKES: Conceited people.
LIKES: Anything edible, Cornel
Wilde, football, basketball and
dancing is definitely a like or
should we say a love. Again the
Aggies get another vote for being
a favorite football team. I wonder
why they are liked so very, very
much by the Senior girls. Could
it be because only men go to
Aggieland ?
Betty says the only interesting
thing that has ever happened to
her is becoming an aunt. I am sure
everyone can remember Betty's
excitement when she heard the
news.
We hope Betty is successful in
either field she chooses, dancing
or voice. Maybe some day she
will be another Lily Pons or
Arthur Murray; anyway here's
hoping.

JUNIOR REPORT
We're very sorry that we did
not have a report in the paper
i last week, but believe me we
have fully recovered from the
holidays now and are ready to
! go to work.
The Junior boys have consented
to give a little of their time to the
Seniors, in order to improve theii
basketball skill. After the second
game Friday morning I think they
could use a little practice. Thurs
day night our team played Dime-
box and really out-shined them,
by about twenty points..
We all hated to see John Blincoe
leave our class and join the Navy,
but we hope he makes good and
wish him the best of luck.
This week we have named our
j ideal Junior boy, and we want
each of you to read it and see
if you agree.
