forever bragging about the Chevro- let car and the more advanced de- signs it has than the Ford tand I clon't 'believe the highest priced car has them yetlj They tell what bet- ter programs they are able to get on the Chevrolet radio, but I think the programs are the same on any radio. No matter what they say, they seem to like to ride in a Ford. Delmont Howell '53 The Fleejum The Fleejum is a thing which is and isn't. During the time it Was, some people suspected it of not be- ing. This is what started all the trou- ble that wasn't. For how could there be trouble with a non-existent causeg however, why was there trouble if there wasn't a cause? There must have been a cause for we certainly had trouble. People would not make trouble over a thing they didn't think was, unless this non-existent thing had obtained something from them under false pretence. If it had obtained something from them, then it must beg for what would a non- existent thing want with something? We took this all in consideration and finally tracked the trouble to its non-existent route. By this time we discovered that the Fleejum does not exist, so the trouble died down. Patricia Gourley '54 Waltzing vs. Clumsin-ess As I picked up the pieces of a broken vase, which had just been knocked over by Elwin, I noticed the heading Dancing Overcomes Cllum- siness , on the page of an open mag- azine. Putting the dustpan and brush down on the living room floor, I start- ed to read the article. It said the best way to cure a boy of clumsiness is to teach the boy to dance. Ha, here was the solution to moth- er's broken vases! All I had to do was to teach Elwin to dance and he'd be as graceful as a doe. Elwin is the clumsiest person this side of the moon. He trips over everythQng from a common pin to a piano. The thing for him was dancing lessons. The next night the lessons began. What a mistake! I'm still limping. We started with the waltz. I had him counting 1, 2, 3 to the Blue Danube. So far, so good. As soon as he caught the rhythm, we started the step. Talk about Wooden legs! ! Elwin must have steel! He dances like a tin soldier. And what is worse he bobs back and forth like a cork in a gale at sea. Oh, well, everyone has his own style of danc'ng, but El- win's happens to be the bobbing cork-tin soldier style. Jrst as I t-hought we were mak'n'r progress, Elwin started adding a frncy new step of his own. In spite of my 1. 2, 3's he managed to stick a four in between the 3 antl 1. lt took me a half hour to correct this. I'm warning you, 'before you undertake such a proposition as teaching a boy to dance, buy yourself a pair of men's foundry shoes. Elwin insisted on dancing on my toes. Perhaps the floor was too hard for him. After playing the Blue Danube :Haut Uskatey-dighti' times, I got just a wee bit sick of it, but not El- winl He was content to waltz all night. Finally I gave up. But Elwin continued-alone, merrily tripping over my favorite hit records. He knows how to dance all right. He does better than his teacher does now, but-and what a but! He's be- coming so interested in learning to dance new steps that he practices them at my house continually, while knocking over everything in sight. Dancing certainly has helped his clumsiness! From bad to worse. The last straw came recently. While prac-

Us tffil W. fxl F lil The Thing The night was dark and still, too still, and as I walked along the lone- ly road toward home I had a creepy feeling that I was being followed. I turned and looked but nothing was behind me. Then it came, an un- earthly, 'blood-curdling scream! My heart stopped! The scream had come from the swamp and I had to walk through that swamp before I reached home. Of course it might have been only a bobcat but I couldn't get that scream out of my mind, it had been so horrible. As though someone we-re being tortured, and it had always been the legend that this swamp was used for a place to torture traitors. By now I was half-way through the swamp and growing more frighten- ed with each step. I listened again and heard a sound like footsteps right in the woods- beside me. I couldn't move! I was scared nearly to death! I forced myself to look at the spot from which the sound had come. My blood froze! There it wasg the most hideous looking thing ll had ever seen! It was too dark for me to make out any features but it was covered with the slimy green muck from the swamp. It came almost to me, stretching its dripping arms, then stopped, and I, frozen to the spot, heard a scream ten times worse than the one before. My legs suddenly went into motion and I ran as never fi i My v l . . If .. before, until my foot caught on a stump. I was down, then up and running again. Now the thing was almost upon me. I reached the house, got inside, slammed the door and locked it, then collapsed on the Hoor. When I was able to talk again, I told mother what hai happened. She stared at me, and d'dn't believe a word of what I said. But it was true! I had seen itg been chased by it! I could see when she to.d my fath- er that he didn't think much of my story, either. I went outdoors, then stoppedg for there on the doorstep were two big footprints that couldn't have been made by a human. When father and mother came at my frantic call, they stared at the prints, and the next day we moved away. They knew that I had seen THE THING. Wilma McPherson '56 My Likes and Dislikes I shall tell some of the ordinary things which are either likes or dis- likes to me: I dislike the song, Eliza Jane, sung by the great harmonizing trio known as Victor, Gordon and Rodney. The reason I dislike the song is because they sing so loud and so close to my ear that they Cmy earsj ring for a few minlutes- afterward. They are

ticing the tango, he 'bumped into a stand and broke mother's best lamp. After the mess was cleaned up, I decided to write a letter to that l2'fT'lC'b1'i1lI1GCl author who wrote the cockeyed article and tell him a thing or two about dancing curing clumsi- ness! I I Beverly Coro '55 Gifs' Basketball Team of H. H. S. Pat is the captain of our squad, We all think she- should have a re- ward For giving up praise when the score was near. We hope she'll he captain again next year. Next comes Nonie, who is quite small, l-Sut she gets those rebounds like nothing at all. lip goes the ball and, usually, in. S-he still has a 'feeling that H. H. S. will win. .A rleen is the highest scorer this year. We as a team want to give her a cheer. She dribbles, pivots and shoots with a hook, And she is tops in the SCO1'Gl',S book. Florence is the tallest of all. She has the height for basketball. She gets those rebounds mighty quick. With the help of the others she's very slick. Dawna is our blond bomber, left guard and number 8. We all should hate to lose her for all the fun she makes. She is popular for her fouls, but we really don't mind. The next line we tried, but couldn't make it rhyme. Meredith is a cute little lass. She comes on the Hom' quick as a flash. She's pretty good out on the court, And all in all she's a very good sport. Last comes Jackie, but not the least On our High School Basketball Team. We all think s'he's a very good kid, But Archie thinks she's a dream. We thank the eighth graders For competing on our team: When they play basketball They are really on the beam. Our greatest thanks goes to our coach, Who is new to us this year. For coaching the Girls' Basketball Team He has certainly been a dear. Arleen Ames and Dawna Olson '56 God's Love I went to tell you of a Love Much greater, richer, than we know. It is unbounded, far above Any we 'have on earth to show. This Love can reach a Soul's despair, Can lift it on to newer heights, 'Til it, in joy, gains clearer air, Gois, trusting, thru the darkest nights. This Love can take a man's lost life And guide it to a brighter plane, Free it from all care and strife And, finally, bring it Home again. This Love, infinite, can restore The one whose weary feet have trod The path of life, and, suif'ring sore, Is ready to yield all to God. For this is God's own Love, my friend, The God who sent His Son to die, To grant you life without an end, Eternal Life, with Him on High! Christ lived to die upon a Cross,
