It's good to hear, "It's lonesome with you away." It's nice that people take care when the house lights up like a firecracker--due to a cranky three-way light bulb that responds to some sort of vibration--and the same eerie thing happened two nights in a row. It's nice that even the dog is watched over and cared for--It could and does happen here in Celeste. The big roller came back to town and smoothed the streets some what-- another step in the long drawn out process of the completion of our street program. The football field was put into better shape, looking toward an approaching season. The Mackie Don Babers moved into their new house on the highway north. Annie Katherine Norris and Mrs. Norris returned home after spending several weeks in Dallas. They also visited briefly in Houston before returning home. John Taylor came home about the middle of last week from a Greenville hospital where he'd had an appendectomy. Mr. S. L. Fuller, football coach here was in town briefly--told Mrs. Duke he would need his room at the hotel on Monday, August 15. He said he would start football workout at that time. "Girls will be Girls" was proved recently (July 30) when six former school friends met for a party in the lovely home of Mrs. Zoe Slayden Davis. The guests were Mrs. Nell McMichael Anderson of Peoria, Illinois, Mrs. Lucy Gaulden Griffitt of Leonard, Mrs. Betty Jacobs Press of Nobility, Mrs. Marie Evans Felty and Mrs. Zelleva Giles Abernathy of Celeste. These ladies were graduates of the classes of '44, '45, and '46. They attended a movie and afterwards spent the night with Zoe. They reported that much time was spent in reminiscing about the good old days at CHS. Mrs. Georgann Babers was honored with a pink and blue shower in the homemaking living room of the school on Saturday night, August 6. Hostesses were Mmes. Kay Nichols, Marie Felty, Pat McCorstin, Elnita LaFavers, Joan Daniels, and Miss Carol Jean Ross.
