THE OLE ASTROLOGER
Well I'm back again at the Ole 160, kiddies. Your ole dad had a pretty good summer-that is, what
he can remember of it.
In Squatterville, various students
walked away with certificates of award: Bob Eadie, the certificate of ownership. But he walked only as far as the parking lot where his chauffeur- wife boro him away for one more weekend in the city of the Seven Hills. Speaking of wives and Seven Hills, it will be Silver Bells and Santu Claus before we hear the melodic call, "yoo-hoo, Bucky!" once more.
I followed Hinkle's trail to the Beach and witnesed the birth of a new politician. First he had to decide between senior or junior house, and then to Bebo or not to Bebo.
Booker's house party turned out to be a flop. After hearing the "Hot Nuts" his group took a spare tire out of the "49" Ford and rolled it around on the Halifax Golf Course.
When school opened up, I really expected something different-only 36% from the North Carolina. But it still leads the homestate by 3%. The mountaineers from the State of
Unemployment follow in third.
Cloud IX seems a little chilly this year. Rock forecast a high pressure area meeting a cold stationary front. With all that "hot air" winter should be pretty pleasant. It's sort of hard for the old man to forecast this year, since Levino has cut back on his soot- making plant. However, he'll try his
best.
To Get to the Banks Farm (Tenneseneca)
Go south on Route 29 some four- teen or fifteen miles beyond Howard Johnson's Restaurant. Shortly after a sign on the right reading, "Altavista 8 miles," you will see our big mailbox on the right saying, "JO BANKS."
The Marines are trying to invade V. E. S., again. Their leader, alias the Colonel, has taken Wild's posi- tion and is making up a new set of rules. These rules consist of no walks, no curve balls, no drop balls, and no stolen bases. So far, nobody's struck out-and nobody's hit a home- run.
According to the scripture, about ·one third of the Senior Class '64 made their way down the Hill, but only after a rigorous preparation
and an entertaining graduation. When I returned to the ole 160
I quickly noticed the " Daddy" Seniors taking their privileges in hand. I fol- lowed Willy Bob Barco as he intro- duced the novice squatter Cline to the pitfalls of a Saturday evening in
Lynchburg.
I returned another night to see
evangelist Billy Graham Smyth carry his crusade to the "Wreck" Room but only succeed in uplifting the heretical trash from the floor and tacking it to the wall.
The students are in quite a daze this year. On Monday, first period is second period, while on Wednes- day first period is last period. The three minute break gives students
just enough time to see if third period was second period or IS seventh period.
The competition is really tough in every field this year. Small Mouth Bass has been challenged by the mighty Joab of S. C. Although the Bass is trying to reinstate its position, Joab is holding tight, knife and fork in hand.
