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

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

Nov. 13: The sevens chose their class rings yesterday and today. At last an indication of graduation! Now if our teachers will only give us an indication of graduation at the end of the term, we'll really enjoy being eights. Nov. 15: Approximately 1500 parents and friends attended the Open House program this evening and they really seemed to enjoy coming back to school. After visiting with advisors and teachers, they saw an excellent entertainment in the aud. Some of the participants were members of the Girl's and Boy's Physical Fit' ness Classes, who demonstrated their gymnastic work very effif ciently. They make it look so easy, but when I get up enough nerv-e to try some of those stunts, I always almost break my neck. But then, 1 suppose I should Hnd other things to do which are just as satisfying as standing on one's head! Nov. 16: Again! Cleveland 26, Soldan 7! That's the kind of figures l like to look at, I said. And then a character with his eyes on our cute cheer leaders murmured, Me, too! Nov. 17: Students of the Fundamentals of Speech class gave a dramatic sketch entitled Deadline For Living over the radio today. It was prepared to stimulate thinking about the atomic bomb. That bomb may never fall in this neighborhood Qwe sincerely hope notj, but it has already been the cause of a lot of noise in this school! Nov. 18: Mr. Henry Kemper, president of the Ozark A.A.U., showed the World History classes moving pictures of the 1936 Qlympic games this afternoon. Now why didn't things like that happen when I was taking that subject? All we did was memorize some dates! Speaking of dates, a handsome, very bashful fellow who sits in front of me during the third period, finally mustered up enough courage to ask the fbonnie lassie across the aisle for a date. She didn't even reward him with a smile, but snapped at him, 'i1492!', ' Nov. 21: Wonder of Wonders, it actually happened here! No more do we wander around disconsolately during our lunch periods! No more do we run to the nearest Drive In after school. Those beautiful, golden brown, deliciously crisp French Fries were served today-and the lines curved in and out more than our Conga lines do at school dances! Our lunch room conduct will be exemplatory if only we can enjoy that South Side delicacy more often, Miss Hunter. We'll even consider stacking our dishes! Nov. 2lf22: The Wizard of Oz was presented this Thursday and Fri' day with the usual thunderous applause given work well done. Everyone who participated in the preparation of the production should step forward for a de-ep bow, congratulations! fMr. 20
