Periscope Staff No doubt you've noticed some person at various times during the year tearing down the halls, bumping into everyone with cheerful disregard for life or limb and upsetting everything in the process—like some frantic hound tracking down a criminal. If so, you knew better than to disturb him, for it was a member of the Periscope staff trying to beat the deadline. Such a burst of activity occurred every three weeks, when the Periscope was scheduled for publication. Throughout all the hectic confusion, the printers moved, wearing a smug look and an ink blot on their noses. But it wasn't all work and no play. The Periscope presented a Sadie Hawkins Day dance, which was, as one person expressed it: Really fun— only nobody caught anything. Victims of Spring Fever found a welcome relief from its devastating effects when the Spring Fever dance, sponsored by the Periscope, was presented in April. But the biggest and most successful accomplishment of the year was the publication of the annual, the U. S. S. Periscope, which was compiled by the Periscope staff with the aid of amateur photographers. Now meet the staff: Editor ..................................................Ruth Van Orsdel (Ruth did an exceptionally fine job this year; did enough work for two editors in fact. Thanks, Ruth.)

At the first of the year the students showed their interest in he club by donating over six hundred magazines to be used by the soldiers at Camp Adair. The boys from the manual training classes, under the direction of Mr. Parrish, voluntarily made two ping-pong tables, sixteen recreation chests, and repaired two guitars for the service boys.

The Ship's Log September 28, 1942—Dear Diary: Well, school has started. Of course we missed the seniors that aren't here. Honesty, diary, the Rooks were a scream to watch; they were all in a tizzy about school opening. October 2, 1942—Diary dear: Tonight was our first and only Student body dance, and I'm sure everyone had just a honey of a time. November 6, 1942—Gee, you should of seen the Periscope s Sadie Hawkins dance, it was really a kick including Sue Hamilton, as Sadie herself, Bob Johnson and Curtis Lamb who were all really genuine dog-patchers. November II, 1942—Diary: Today is probably the saddest day of the whole year according to Dallas High. We played and lost our last game of football to Indep. after a really wonderful season. Jim Smith was the outstanding member not to exclude the rest of the team. Oh, woe unto us ! ! ! November 19, 1942—Dearest Diary: We finally put on the Variety Program, Kampus Kapers, given by the Student Body. It was really a super hit of everything. The main hit of the show was the ballet dance given by the members of the football team. I bet they could have made Broadway. November 26, 1942—Diary dear: Everyone had a two-day vacation and believe me we all stuffed ourselves with turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuff. Boy!! It makes me hungry to think of it now. December 4, 1942—Diary: We all danced to Bob Dunn's record player at a simply dilly of a dance the seniors gave tonight. December 7, 1942—Diary: Everyone was greatly impressed today by the speech given us by Rudolph Haybrooke from England. Also today is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Gee, if that doesn't make you stop to think, I don’t know what would. December 23, 1942—Hurrah, Christmas Holidays!! I know everyone had a wonderful time. Santa gets better every year. 29
