"PLEASE PAULA"

  Please Paula: I have a very bad problem. I am very timid. I like to talk to boys but I can’t think of anything to say. Whenever I get around boys, I’m nervous and all thumbs. I am even nervous around other girls sometimes. How can I overcome my timidness? Timid.
   Dearest Timid: I understand timid people, you just haven’t been pushed into things, you only do them when they are necessary. If you would just let yourself go and walk up to boys and girls and say “hi” or “hello,” you would finally get the hang of not being shy. If you’ve got a shy personality, be proud of it. Some girls just aren’t shy enough. A shy girl is usually always a little more feminine than one that’s got the gaul to mix with boys and girls. Just don’t ever forget you are a lady and everything will be OK –
  Yours truly, Please Paula

Showing at
the Majestic

Sophia Loren and George Peppard share a love affair against a background of espionage during World War II in Metro Goldwyn Mayer’s “Operation Crossbow,” suspenseful spy drama in panavision and color. The new movie shows Sunday and Monday at the Majestic Theatre.

ROVING REPORTER

   When asked the question, “What is your idea of a true friend,” these were a few of the responses.
   Jeanie James – My idea of a true friend is one that will let me copy their paper.
   Debbie Murrey – My best friend would be nice, neat, and a boy. He would be taller than me and a football star, and have a neat car.
   Mike Smith (Soph) – A person who will lend you his car, money, his girl, his comb, his home work. He will give you food, shelter, and clothes off his back. That is a good friend.
   Pat Frost – A best friend is a person who knows your true personality and still likes you.
   Debra Wright – The definition of my best friend is she’s sweet, intelligent, kind, and studious. She takes participation in anything in which she’s acceptable. She’s also neat in appearance.
   Emerson Henderson – A best friend is someone who does not try to steal your girl or boy friend.
   Nancy Holden – A best friend is a person who won’t go behind your back and say something about you. One who shares problems and understands. One you enjoy being with.
   Suzanne Lingold – A handsome boy with a blue ford.
   Peggy Massey – My idea of a true friend is one that will loan me money when I need it.
   Pam Parker – To me a best friend is someone whom you can rely on when you are in need of help or companionship. Someone who will try to comfort you. Someone who won’t lie to you or talk about you behind your back. A best friend is someone you can have a lot of fun with, not someone to hurt or offend you. That is what a best friend is to me.

NEATNESS IS EMPHASIZED FOR
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

To the students of Wills Point High School, personal appearance and proper attire are to be given foremost consideration. The students dress neatly and cleanly and their apparel is appropriate. Jeans, slim jims, shorts, etc. are not considered appropriate attire for girls, nor does the school condone the use of hairnets or curlers. Girls may wear jeans or slacks on Friday, or during foul weather, such as snow, sleet, or freezing temperature. Masculine hair styles are kept short and becoming. If the hair is not cut short it is the principal’s responsibility to take disciplinary action. The responsibility of each student is to show good sportsmanship at every school activity. It is also their duty to keep the school grounds neat and clean during school and at activities.

Tiger of the Week!

  Our tiger of the week is Ann Mitchell, class of 1969. Most of you remember her as Ann Furrh. I stopped by Mitchell Engineering just as she was coming in from the grocery store with a gallon of milk and after putting it in the fridge, we sat down to ‘catch’ up.
  As you all know, Ann was one of the smarter students in school and graduated as the Valedictorian of her class.
After graduation she headed off to East Texas State University and four years later she received her degree. The very next month, in June of ’73, she married sweetheart Larry Mitchell. They moved back to the Wills Point area and for a short time Ann worked at the WP Chronicle. Then for the next ten years or so, she worked for Bob and Sue Brown in their insurance business.
  In July 1984 Ann and husband Larry opened a telecommunication engineering business in Wills Point and they are both still very actively involved with it. They welcomed their first son, Scott, in November 1984 and then son Colin joined the family in January 1986. Scott is currently a junior at Texas A&M and Colin (who followed in Mom’s footsteps and was also a WPHS Valedictorian) is a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin.
  When asked about retirement she says that there are ‘no plans’. She enjoys the business and will most likely work until she’s tired of it. When retirement begins, her plans are to stay in this area but hopes that she and Larry will be able to do some traveling. Interests and hobbies include playing tennis with the Wills Point league on Monday nights and gardening. She is a Sunday school teacher and is involved with many church activities and of course, she loves to read.
  When asked what her proudest moments have been in life since school she says that it has to be ‘watching my children grow up and seeing their accomplishments’. She is a very proud Mom. In life, she has no regrets. My life has been good. Ann Furrh Mitchell’s life in five words or less --- “Blessed, I’ve been very blessed”.

Ann’s High School Memories.
1.) How do you remember WPHS?
I had so much fun. As a freshman, we all looked up to the older kids and we thought that they were really cool. I had a great time.
2.) What was a fun Saturday night for you back then? Just riding around. Cruising and going to the Majestic. I still love to go to that show.
3.) What is a fun Saturday night for you now? Going to the boy’s college football games. We have season tickets to the A&M games so we go to a lot of them. We go to many of the UT games too.
4.) Funniest thing you remember about WPHS? Dress up day at school was fun. We all dressed up in western clothes and then we didn’t have school all day. We played games and just did nothing. That was great fun!
5.) Your proudest moment in high school? Being Valedictorian my senior year.
6.) A secret that we never knew?
I can’t think of secrets that I had.
7.) Who did you have a crush on and they never knew about it? Mickey Blake Robertson.
8.) Did you ever cheat on a test? No!
9.) Who was your best friend?
Karen Conn.
10. What’s the craziest thing that you two ever did together? I can’t think of anything that we did that was ‘crazy’. We were really good.
11. Who was your favorite teacher? Mr. Roberts.
12. What did that teacher teach you that wasn’t in a book? Leadership and how to think for myself.
13. Your biggest regret? I think that I would have liked to be a cheerleader so I guess that I regret never trying out for that.
14. Your very best moment in high school? When I chosen Football Sweetheart. What a great honor!
15. If you could go back for a day, what would you do different? I was too serious in high school. If I could go back, I would enjoy it more.

Jokes of the Week...
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, "How old was your husband?" "98," she replied. "Two years older than me." "So you're 96," the undertaker commented. She responded, "Hardly worth going home, is it? ---

An elderly woman decided to prepare her will and told her preacher she had two final requests. First, she wanted to be cremated, and second, she wanted her ashes scattered over Wal-Mart. "Wal-Mart?" the preacher exclaimed. "Why Wal-Mart?" "Then I'll be sure my daughters visit me twice a week."
