By DEE We've got to hand it to Stump Garbett and Ed Lindsey for trying, but they should know that you can’t teach old stars like Mary Lou Smith, Joyce Sears, June Boyd, and Mary Ann Weisiger anything about football. Texas isn’t the only state that grows them big from the looks of Bob Lambert, a good-looking six-footer, who recently came to John Marshall from Detroit, Michigan. He is a junior in homeroom 207 and spends his spare time swimming and playing football. Welcome to Jayem, Bob! Edie Bower’s coffee nerves got the best of her one day recently in English class when the wind blew the door shut with a bang. Edie let out a scream and disappeared under her desk. June Carter (better known as Aunt Polly Carter) really did her part this summer in war bond rallies. If you walked down to Sixth and Broad (wolves’ corner), you were almost cer tain to hear June and her sisters vocal izing in some honey of a song. We girls have a complaint to make we want our men in one piece, and if you football stars don’t take it easier, there won’t be any men left to speak of. Just to mention a few bearing battle scars already, and so early in the season, there are Ran dolph Cosby, Melvin Fuller, Sam Ballas, Jack Eads, Albert Cole, and Earl Peay. A pert skirt and peppy junior in homeroom 106 is Jean Pruett. Jean came to Jayem from Chandler, where she was on the newspaper staff and student adviser. “I spend my spare time on the tele phone and waiting for it to ring,” laughed the golden-haired blue-eyed junior. While we're in 106, we'll take a good look and see who else we can discover. Ah, here’s one for your little black books, you wolves, a cute little miss by the name of Martha Cowardin. This smooth operator is just bubbling over with personality and pep and thinks the big blue team is simply too wonderful for words. (But then, who doesn’t?) Blond hair, blue eyes, turned-up nose, and charming smile—these de scribe Ruth Waller, a newcomer to Jayem from Chandler Junior High School. This peppy little soph lears a busy home life helping her mother take care of her two little brothers and sister. Ruth nicknamed her little brothers Pete and Repeat and says she wishes she had two little sisters so she could nickname them Kate and Duplicate. Ruth must have some secret charm for children. Maybe you remember reading in the newspapers recently that she was left with an abandoned baby in one of the downtown theaters. History Teacher: Mr. Fox, what's the answer to that question? Sylvan Fox: What question? History Teacher: Mr. Fox, does your mother love you? The day of the Jayem-Crewe game, thunder roared overhead, and Helen Boyd Oliver cried out, “Hurry up! Let’s get this yell over with before the end of the world comes.” As she would say, “I’m just witty and know it.”
