B. r.. I ' F s F- -," I'M ' J "SALMAGUNDl" CContinuedJ "MY IDEAL WIFE" ' If the woman whom I marry turns out to be my ideal wife, she will not be ten years older than me. I can't go much for length, because I am pretty short myself. She will have a magnolius complection and hair to match. She will be willing to work when the financial need calls for it. She will do the arguing for me, because any woman is posted on any subject, or at least it appears that way. She will love, obey and support me. Jerry. ENGLISH LITERATUR We studie English Literatur, Not to lern how to spelg But to get some beter ideas About Heaven and of-wel, The things people usta do, And how they used their grammar to. Take for instance the finest thots That hav ben put in verse, The Author seemed to murmur: "Whats The way to spel this wurse?" That's the way all authors do So yhy can't me and you? Now Shakespeare wrote a Iota stuff That has undying fame, But Shakespeare didn't know enuf To writely spel his nam And Shakespeare was a faimous man Why can't we be the saim? Take old Giff Chosser-he who gave Good poesy its start Accordin to the way he spels He couldn't hav ben so smart. If we all speled like him, we'd Give our teachers quite a start. And so lets spel in off hand stile Just as we go along And naturally most all the time We'l1 get our speling rong, And then we'll all bee faimous In word and poem and song. PARENT-TEACHERS BANQUET GREAT SUCCESS A banquet was held at the Creston School on the evening of February sixth. The ladies of the town, assisted by some of the accomplished cooks ot C. H. S., served a de- licious meal, after which a boy's basketball game entertained. This game was followed by a girls' mock basketball game. As soon as the games were over, nearly all gathered in the auditorium for a short program, which under the excellent directorship of Miss Brlllhart, was very flue. The program consisted of a play and two readings, one by Miss Daisie Fullerton, and the other by Miss Brillhart, who gave "The Meechin Ro- mance." The program over, everyone depaxted for their homes, concluding that the evening had been well spent. SHAKESPEARIAN READER ENTERTAINS The High School, Faculty and seventh and eighth grades were entertained by a Shakespearian reader on the afternoon of February third. He acted out passages from "The Merchant of Venice," "Macbeth" and others. 'F!'f'5-' W f 4 -aff ff

M., teams were selected for the "Pole Rush" and "Tug of War", to be held in the P. M. of the same day. The "Green and White" with the "Old Rose and Black" took the honors of the day. They barely won the first period of the "Tug of War," but the second was a plain walk-away. The first period of the Pole Rush, the "Purple and Gold" with the "Scarlet and Gray" were put up with Freshmen and Juniors defend- ing the pole-But thanks to the Senior and Sophomore husky lads, Warren Knepp or "Snapper", went up the pole and handed down the enemy's colors. Honors to the Se- niors and Sophomores for the first period. At the beginning of the second period, the "Old Rose and Black" and the "Green and White" were put up with the Sophomores and Seniors defending. These fellows are sure some defenders, for not one man on the opposing side could climb the pole three feet before they were haul- ed down. Honors to the Seniors and Sophs! !! These colors still being up, the Seniors and Sophs defended the pole for the third and last period. After some rough scrapping, Nelson' Glessner fBillyJ went up that pole like a cat and down came the proud "Green and White" - "Old Rose and Black." But Seniors and Sophs were sports enough to give their so far defeated opponents the credit due them for their last struggling effort. Never.the-less, the Seniors and Sophs had seventy-five points out of one hundred for the Pole Rush. Those fellows can fight! !! Those girls can yell!!! Daisie O. Fullerton.
