THE TATTLER
Folks, I am here to greet you the last time this year. Although I'm wishing you a happy vacation, I'm warning -- BEWARE! I
may remember some of these summer escapades, and -- well, they would come in handy next year.
If you want to know about Mrs. Lowe's recital at Glenfawn, ask Louise Riddle. She said she could hear pretty well from the
outside.
Isn't it funny that certain high school girls would try to eat an apple belonging to a little third grader?
Frances Buckner says her ideal man has dark eyes and hair, and, at this certain time, has a large bandage on his jaw. Recognize
him?
We have all been wondering why Mary has been so blue and then all of a sudden so very happy.
We are very sorry Mr. Lock had to eat a roll after Mary Jim dropped it on the floor at the Junior-Senior banquet. Mary Jim, you
should have brought him another roll.
We wonder why Frances Irwin was so worried the night of Mrs. Lowe's recital. Did they both get there at the same time, Frances?
They tell me that Jean likes the initial "J".
A. J. likes ice cream, in case you want to know.
Boys, do you still want to play even near the "gym".

THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
The occasion? The Junior-Senior Banquet. The place? The Lanville High School. The time? April 17, 1936.
At eight-thirty o'clock the Juniors escorted the seniors to the banquet table. Red, white, and blue crepe paper with daintily
fluted edges centered the "U"-shaped table. Blue bonnets in bouquets and as favors, star-shaped centennial place-cards, and center-pieces of
red, white and blue flowers decorated the tables at which forty-five gay, hilarious "banqueters" sat.
After "Texas, Our Texas" had been sung and the invocation given by Mr. Singletary, the plates were served by none other than our
"Sophia" and "Fish." A. J. Pruitt, Mary Jim Gallaway, Sam Johnson, Frances Whitley, and Selwin Jones, dressed as cow-boys and cow-girls, were
all expert at passing the rolls and eating ice cream.
Mr. Lock, as toastmaster, introduced each of the following toasts. Gussie Mae Ham gave the toast to the Seniors and Margie Bell
Poston, in behalf of the Seniors, responded beautifully. A toast to Texas was given by Johnson Walker. Mary Waltman read the Senior will
to the Juniors. Jean Waltman read the class prophecy.
The climax of the evening came when Mr. F. L. Singletary, beloved ex-superintendent of Laneville High School, gave his inspiring
address.
The closing song was "Eyes of Texas." It was sung the last time changing "Texas" to "Laneville," reminding the Seniors that we
shall all be watching them in the future.
