»» BELIEVING in the old adage All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy (it's no fun for Jill either!', the various school organizations do their part to keep up the social side of this educational grind. The Student Council had a big hand in keeping everybody happy . . . leading off the Fun Parade” with the Fall party. Some farmer must have been hopping” when he found that his stump fence had been transferred to the assembly room of G. H. S. . . . pumpkins and com shocks sprung up over night and added to the rural setting and everybody rallied 'round with pent-up fall spirit to make the first party of the year a supreme delight. Peg O' My Heart was next in the offing . . . Greenville attics had a goin over to costume the production. The entire cast turned in a fine performance— including the dog who made his dramatic debut! The F. F. A. threw in their contribution for pleasure . . . the Fair detained hordes of intellects on their way to class . . . who could resist those eats”? . . . and there were some new exhibits to be viewed at every visit! The Girls League pageant calls for a position in the parade . . . It's surprising what can be done with a few simple stage settings, lights and a little grease paint thrown in! . . . the pageant proved to be even more inspiring than last year's performance. Around December fifth, session periods were given over to the problem of counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds until vacation—and the Blow-Out ! . . . the coaches dampened quite a number of spirits that evening by tucking the basketball squad in bed early, but the boys made every minute count! . . . The remaining fancy-free dancers stayed on and on! . . . Then came Spring! ... a queer season—made you lose your dignity and dig out the skates . . . you found yourself counting the holes in the session room ceiling again! . . . your feet wouldn't stay still when music was played . . . your gambling vein came to the surface and by March everything was set for the C. C. C. More allowances were shot at that affair than at any other but the general reaction seemed to be I had my money's worth of fun! ... At the bottom of this page is pictured a heart-breaking occasion!— remember when the cheer leaders led the mourning as Belding's banner was burned preceding that friendly little game ? . . . Oh me, this younger generation! . . . After running through the events of 1939 there might be some doubt but— no foolin', we study, TOO!! 23
