Y-Toon: rc-tidy lor duty awhile? October opens with our next door neighbor, the Helios Bi-Weekly, opening its sales campaign. The second day oi October DP. drags himself to the cafeteria with considerable apprehension. A doctor with a shiny hypo is waiting to give our hero TB. inocu- lations. Two days later he has recovered enough to watch Union's Red Hawks nose out Central 28 to 7, On the 8th he goes grumbling to an assembly the second hour, his vacant. Dirty tricld His resentment is forgotten, however, as he watches the dramatic demon- stration of electronics, radio-activity, fluorescence, and phosphorescence given.by Dr. Harry C. White, former industrial relations director of the General Electric Com- pany. Taking time out from his open-mouthed awe at the effect Gounods Ave Maria has on the oscillograph, he, nevertheless, speculates idly on the effect the One o'C1ock lump might have had. The l5th of October brings Dreamers parents to school to inquire personally about his progress - the results have not been made public. Next come the senior elections. After listening to the speeches and gazing at the many political signs cramming the senior session room, DP. votes A alterf nately, beginning with the first name on the ballot. The MEA convention on the 24th proves a welcome interruption for our Dreamer. A new system of visual education is inaugurated on November l with the showing of Romeo and Iuliet for English classes. ,DP finds Romeo rather slow. Pride and Prejudice on the 8th he likes better. ound me hillun int r ID .Orb l

Honoring the dead ol two world wars, the solemn ceremony impresses DP. l-le cant help wondering il in 25 years his name may be on an even larger list ol lorrrier Central students who have lost their lives in another futile struggle. The advertising assembly for the senior play gives DP. an inkling ol the goings on in Icmuary Thaw. Un the l5th ot November he takes his second-best girl to the studentfcouncil sponsored November Nocf turne . l-tis first best goes with the captain ol the loot- ball team. Dreamer attends all three performances ol Icrnucrry Thcrw. This is a new kind ol senior play lor him. A hun- dred years ago it would have been called risque , but times are dilterent now, Miss Iacoba Dalebout did an excellent iob ol directing. On November 26 he sadly says goodbye to your Annual stall. l-le won't see them lor four whole daysg they are going to the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion convention in Milwaukee to learn the rudiments ol yearbook making. l-le is later told, confidentially, by a member ol the stall that your editor-in-chief not only became seasick on the Milwaukee Clipper where he had to leave his untasted S2 dinner hurriedly, but that he even had a suspicious green tinge on the plane coming back it E' l 5 WW LS .rf mn N SPA Convention
