Story shared: Prettiest girl in the Heights

Junita was the prettiest girl in the Houston Heights, and her beau, Eugene, was a handsome lad. The younger girls all keyed on whatever Junita thought was the best thing to do, and the younger boys followed Eugene's lead. All of the Walker times and get-togethers were centered around Junita. The world is a smaller place. Sam Caldwell
