Oct. 19: Oct. 23: Oct. 24: Oct. 25: Oct. 28: Oct. 30: NOV. l: And another bit of info came my way: between 55 and 60 gal' lons of ice cream disappear daily! CMiss Hunter, maybe that makes up for the severe shortage of milk sold, we like frozen bone builders betterlj Two well matched Elevens fought this afternoon, but in the last quarter, a lucky touchdown defeated Cleveland in our second league game of the season. Where are your rabbits' foots, boys? Score and opposition? Score-McKinley 7, Cleveland Ohhh. A milestone has been hurdled. One third of the journey is over. Seven weeks have passed, and report cards have been graded and given out. Monday and Tuesday were spent in such anxiety and hope that Wednesday is practically an aftermath. But not quite. Anyhow, just tell your parents that a Barefoot E is much closer to the real thing than a G , after all, doesn't it come be' tween the two in the alphabet? flt was a nice try - you shouldn't have let them read the explanation on the top, silly!l Every seat in Room 300 was filled after school fno, the choirs didn't have to stay after schoollj in reply to an invitation from the College Club. This Club presented the first of a series of programs for students interested in going to college. Miss Frances Lee, Program Director of the St. Louis Girl Scouts, Mr. Charles Clayton, Editorial Staff Chief of the S-t. Louis Globe Democrat, and Mrs. Mildred Miller, our school librarian, were the principal speakers. The afternoon was concluded in the lunchroom, where punch and cake was served. Between the delicious refreshments and the ever'present buzzing gabfests, everyone enjoyed them' selves immensely. l'The race is not always to the swift .... This afternoon our B team trimmed Southwest, 12'6. This greatly boosted their morale, because in the last three games, the scores were really the other way around. We're holding our thumbs and collecting four leaf clovers for you! Yesterday was Navy Day. Today Cleveland celebrated the occa' sion with an Aud Session which was completely manned by ex' Navy men. The program included talks, an amusing skit, and a movie, The Battle for the Beaches. These ex'sailors really have something on the ball, haven't they, girls? We should have these auds more often! The Nu'Seniors held their first meeting and elected Mel Doering as their class President. CI knew that Navy Day Aud made an im' pression on the gals, the next years' motto had better be, If you want a class office, don a sailor suit. D, and Teresa Krauska as Vice'President. I know they'll make ine officers. Now, from which hat did he pull that rabbit? Aren't these donuts good? Da, da, da, da, DA, BOOM! 18

Oct. 8: Oct. 11: Oct. 12: Oct. 14: Oct. 15: Oct: 18: The entire school listened to a talk by Pvt. Gaffney of the St. Louis Fire Department. The importance of fire prevention in the light of the present housing conditions was stressed. Careful where you throw that match, son! And even if you are a Chem whiz Care there such people?D don't call that four alarm catasf trophe a rapid oxidation plus heat and light! Hear that trumpet, the beat of those drums? The jivy Novelty Orchestra plus countless jitterbugs assured the success of the Hrst school dance of the season. Sponsored by the S-tudent Counf cil, everyone spent a most enjoyable afternoon. Did you notice the ballet slippers competing with the snow white bobby socks and saddles group? As for me, when the next dance comes around, I'm going to wear steelftoed safety protection boots fplus iron armor, too!D. Oh, but the dance wasn't Friday's only contribution to the week. It had another, and we don't mean the lost weekfend ahead, either! During the afternoon, a snappy Pep Session was held, in honor of the forthcoming Southwest game. Ummm, weren't those Queen's Men good, but def? Natch, and most elef mentary, Watson! Our fellow inmates don't even rest on Saturdays, that long cherished day of festivities. This morning some of our students, including our newly elected football queen and one of the cheerf leaders broadcast Cleveland conversation and chitchat on the Teen Thirty O'clock Club. Nice work, to think, I'l1 be able to say I knew them when! The score we love to hear: Cleveland, 13, Southwest, O! In the second half, the Dutchmen mounted the horns of the longl- in the front hall trophy case! fDon't they look lovely thereffj I wandered down to the lunchroom at noon, by way of the nearf est banister, of course, to buy a few vitamins, and found that they have jumped the high hurdles. Yes, they are worth 6c each, except those beautifying the main dishes, which snobbishly await the huge amount of 12c. Exclusive little creatures, aren't they? I-Iave you gone by the swimming pool today and heard those funny sounding gurgles. Rest assured, no one is drowning-yet. It's the swimming team beginning their practice for the coming season. Coach Ballin expects a good team this year, so watch out! Of course, the nonfexistence of a Springboard doesn't help matters. I offered to let them do leapffrog over my back, but Coach merely threw-glub, glub, glub! Being inquisitive by nature fand don't tell me I can't blame nature for thatll I journeyed once more to the lunchroom to see how hungry you and I and those other 2161 students get every day. Since Monday and the price rise, the main dishes sold have dwindled somewhat-to an average of 1000 eaten daily! Shades of my leaping tin lizzie, that's a mountain of food! 17

Nov. 2: Nov. 4: Nov. 5: Nov. 8: Nov. 9: Nov. ll: The seniors, those super duper term eighters, had a party this evening and it was an affair to end all affairs. Sing'en danc'en eat'en, and entertainment were the highlights, and that solid Novelty Crchestra was a steady blaze, too. Did he take HER home? Isn't that purple and green plaid shirt just adorable? A Silver Anniversary! Twentyffive long years hurdled! Conf grats on a mighty fine job, Orange and Blue! Woe is me! Football, football, football, must you always oink your way over our opposing team's goalpost? The Roosevelt Roughriders overrode us today, '7f0. l'm beginning to think we're not treating that poor little ball right! Twenty luscious outfits plus complete accessories were modeled by Cleveland students, girls, that is. Better luck next time, boys. After all, you want to plan some Spring ensembles, too, don't you? Eighth grade students from nearby grade schools were invited to the style show, too. Golly, those prospective Nu ,lays get shorter every term. Pretty soon we're going to have to either lower the locker combinations or supply them with step ladders! Professor Ethel Kawin spoke on the subject, Preparing Youth to Keep the Peace,', today in an aud for the entire student body. These speeches are greatly enjoyed by everyone, that is, every' one except the teachers who have planned a nice little quiz during the skipped period! The discussion periods are well liked, too - remember the one on atomic bombs? ulf 'A' bombed 'B' and 'B' bombed 'C,' would 'C' .... I, for one, really have to watch my p's and q's in an argument like that! By the way, speaking of atomic bombs, our Mike equipment flunked its finalv today when it simply wouldn't let Miss Kawin utter a word. What has she done to its brothers and sisters to make it so mad at her? It isn't as though she squeezes them Frankie style, 'cauz she doesn't! The techni film entitled America, the Beautiful was shown this afternoon. Seeing a picture like that is almost as good as touring the country - and cheaper, too! Mr. Kelley had a new tie on today. The pattern was a nice conf servative one, displaying an adorable little squirrel. It has a so very hungry look - could it have been searching for some little nuts? CThat's all right, as long as HE wasn't!J Rah! Rah! Rah! Cleveland Dutchmen mounted and stuffed the Central Redwings today. Maybe we should play more games reset because of rain. I-Iere's to our victory C26 to OD, may it be repeated over and over, even more times than I took Algebra 2! 19
