Mr. Carmichael is pleased with the results the new fan gives, and agreed to the fact that it, takes the smell out fast enough so that kids don't even have to use a inan's deodorant. Aflorning the walls in the client classes are new charts, which in- clude valenfe periodic, metal, and atom charts. Actually. these are not really charts at all, but great, big ponies, as any chem student will testify.

Are you abused, are you downtrodden, maltreated? Nonsense, just look at all those less fortunate Amnndsenites all around you! You think you're not equipped to face life? Just look at Otto, he needs another arm! What was that election slogan again? And how about those poor Ebbs? 'l'hey're so short on guys they have to pass the same old talent around again and again. Think you're not welcome? Not loved, huh? How about me? Carol Olson never writes me any of those swell notes of hers. Gee Whiz! You're broke? That's a laugh. Some seniors are so broke they had to go out for pizza after the Friday Night Dance.! By the lake side yet! So you think you're got troubles? Even the Poison Pen is having a hard time lately. Seems that Lynn lirandcnlnarg and Sue Marshall are trying to put us out of business! Been exerting yourself lately? That's nothing compared to the ef- forts put out by Janet Furness- She had to Holler all the way to St. Louis for her guy! Here's a little problem that keeps popping up all the time. It's that get- pesty Pat I!'ittlinger always ting a big charge out of other peo- ple's discomfort. Sorrow, sorrows, and more sor- rows. Take Kay Du Vrit-sc and lilttlllyll. for example. There's no Joy in that combination. Poor Carol Dzullrgf Those nasty seniors keep pushing in front of her. You say you're confused? You say you don't know what's coming off? Well, just ask Gary Grimes. He'll tell you if everything came out all right! Talk about problems. The Jicaros certainly had one. Why wouldn't those costumes stay on? Most em- barrassing! You think youve got problems, Perf!! Olsen would give anything to stop being called Redman, No, Tasia Gallanis did not write this Pen. There, didn't our little chit-chat cheer you?

Jan's a peach all right. Unconcerned over others' opinions of her deeds, and never afraid to let her hair down, it's typical that her fondest memory of Amundsen will be her part as a cannibal in the recent Variety Show. llunning a close second will be those crazy chemistry classes with Mr. Carmichael. During off-hours, her happiest moments might be dancing and out for pizza on the lakefront with someone tmale and over 16 years of agei who can at least pretend to dance and knows how to laugh. tlt may help if he goes by the name of Wally.J Jan's future features four years at Normal State Teacher's College. followed by a career in some corner of the field of speech re-education. ffvq t- '-rv A xx uiwm ' S.
