New Teen Tattler Wants Suggestions
On ‘New Ideas, Fads, Anything At AH’
(Editor’s note Barbara Bennett, daughter of Dr. H. L Ben
nett, is The Frontier’s new Teen Tattler. An O’Neill high school

ior who has been writing for more than a year. Miss Bennett &.
first installment follows):
Hi there, kids!
Yes, I’m taking over the Tat
tler for a while, and if you see
anyone poking her nose into
every basketball game, dancg,
Barbara
Bennett
and pariy, u s
m e getting
news to keep
Tattler t h e
way you like
it. 1 hope it
will still be
as intertsting
and full of
news as it
was when Pat
Brennan was ;
writing it.
The other 1
evening, lbs I
Schaffer had a party. The kids
played canasta, danced, and had
a swell time in general. One of
the boys took flash bulb pic
tures, He took one when the
girls least expected it. I’m sure
it’ll turn out fine, inspite of the
expressions on their faces.
St Ma y’s romped over Spen
►>cer Friday night, score 55-25.
But what took the spotlight for
the evening were St. Mary’s
darling little cheer leaders. Lit
tle Francis Kelly, Tommy Wan
ser, and Lynn McCarthy. They
are really good! And a tip of
the hat to St. Mary’s basket
ball team. The Cards took first
place and a beautiful trophy
at the Holt countv tournament.
Nice going, St. Mary’s.
The O’Neill high music de
partment has been making sev
eral appearances lately — the
girls’ triple trio, the saxophone
ensemble, the mixed quartet,
and the cornet duet. They have
appeared at meetings and ban
quets.
St. Mary’s is planning on a
Valentine dance in the near
future. The sophomores are giv
ing it.
At OHS the pep club is spon
soring a box social. The gals at
OHS are informed they may
come providing they bring a
box and a boy.
Say kids,, if you have some
thing you would like to see m
this column such as new ideas
fads, anythink at all, just drop
me a card and I’ll be happy to
do something about it.
See you next week.
