The Young People’s Class of the Baptist Church and Mrs. Malone, the teacher, sponsored a social Wednesday night for Jerry Anderson, who is home on a furlough. Jerry is in the Air Force and is stationed in South Carolina. Games were played and Christmas carols sung, after which refreshments were served. A big crowd of Cobra fans followed the Cobras to Gonzales Friday night, although it was really cold and a strong wind was blowing. The Cobras lost but the Giddings team knew they had played a football game that night. We are proud of our Cobras and say, “Good Work, Cobras.” Mrs. J. W. Munn left Sunday for Chickasha and Duncan, Okla., to spend Christmas with the Irvin Munns and Albert Munn. C. J. Worthy, who has been in a hospital, is expected to be home for Christmas. We wish the best for Mr. Worthy. “Dink” Myadenkes, who was in a car wreck some time ago, is reported doing nicely and at home.
