Double Talk

By Janet and Susan Solof
As New Year has arrived once more,
And resolutions are being made galore,
Go to school with a happy thought
Remembering everything that was taught.
New Year’s Eve brought the A.Z.A.’s and B.B.G’s on their toes as they gave a big dance. The main event of the evening was the crowning of the Queen. Susan Solof was the queen elected and her date Art Pogrell reigned as King.
As the football season comes to an end, we wish to congratulate Bernie Stolsoff and Dave Kenin from Kearney and Gary Naiman from hoover who received “ Letters.” Good goin’ boys.
Make 1954 successful for the Youth groups. Take an interest and an active part in them and support all of their affairs. You will have fun too.
