THE SPUDPICKER' §xliool Calendar SEPTEMBER 5. School starts. Where do these new names and faces among the faculty come from? 7. School starts in earnest. First football announcement. 8. First Senior class meeting. Miss Melvin, because of her capability in guiding the Juniors of ’27, was chosen sponsor of the class of ’28, the biggest and best class in the history of Hemingford High. 12. Another class meeting. “Shall we get sweaters?” 14. First day of the fair. School is dismissed at 2:00 o’clock so that those who wish it may attend the fair. 22. John Laeger says he would like to take up football only he just can’t bear to get rough with his opponents. 26. The Freshmen seem to be learning something—evidently from the facul- ty, certainly not the upper classmen. 29. Seniors order their sweaters (black and orange.) 30. First football game. Played with Minitare on the home grid, in a driz- zling rain. Hemingford started the season right by winning the first game 7 to 0. OCTOBER 3. Only thirteen more weeks until Christmas. 5. Williard was heard to remark that he enjoys coming to school so much because he likes the work. (Jokingly, of course.) 10. Mr. Durfee (during Biology period)—“I would like a few people to under, stand that this is NOT a period for their beauty nap.” 17. Mr. Elkins demonstrated his ability in oratory. The freshmen looked overawed. The long suffering upper classmen already knew his ability along that line. 18. Said Mr. Elkins to Miss Hucke, “Don’t you know that it is wrong. To read the notes marked ‘Post Script’ In all my letters long?” “I’m sorry. Sir,” quoth Oneta in grief Of that I’ll be more wary I thought the letters ‘P. S.’ meant ‘For Private Secretary!”’ 19. We wonder how many birthdays P. D. Johnson has; he acts as though he had one every day. 21. Second football game on the home grid. Big pep meeting ending with a parade down town and several yells given around the flag pole. Hemingford wins 31 to 0. Hot Dog! After the game the Juniors treated the Seniors to a good time and a weiner roast. 24. Oscar Planansky says that parallel lines are lines that are the same dis- tance apart all the way, and they don’t meet unless you bend them. 25. Mr. Elkins (in Physics class)—“Define a vacuum.” Delbert Peterson, (very nervous)—“I can’t explain it at present, sir, but I have it in my head.” 27. Miss Spence (in Short Hand)—“This test will be conducted on the honor system; please sit three chairs apart and in alternate rows.” 28. Miss Gregg, (to Latin class)—“Now watch the board closely while I go through it again.” (Continued on Page 21) —16—
