MY FIRST DATE “Mom, do you think this dress is long enough? “Oh, Daddy, please put on a tie. You do want to make a good impression, don't you, and what time is it, please? Only 7:30. Mom, I’m worried. Do you think he’s had an accident? I know he’s coming at 8:00, but he's probably coming early. Are you sure your watch is right? Daddy, you haven’t said one thing about my new dress! Oh, sure, now its pretty. Men are all the same. “When he gets here, if he ever does, please be nice to him; he’s a real nice boy. Sure, you're always nice, just try to be a little bit nicer and please, please keep little Judy away from the stairs. She will probably try to see him, as she does when Carey goes out on dates. “What time is it. Daddy, please? I’m sure your watch has stopped; it can’t be just 7:45; it was that time at least ten minutes ago. “Mom, guess who’s sitting by the stairs in the hall? How did you guess? Please make her leave. 1 can’t stand to have someone staring at my back. “First we’re going to the dance at school and then we’re going to have a snack with the rest of the gang. Yes. a real band, not the school band like last time; remember it was at that dance that I met him. “Oh, Mom, there's a car at the door! Someone is getting out. but there’s still someone in the car; maybe his folks did need the car after all. I’d better go upstairs because I don’t want to look real anxious. Who is it. Mom? Oh. Nancy, aren’t you going with John? No, I don’t need a ride, lie’s picking me up, but thanks anyway. See you at the dance. “Daddy, what time is it? Five minutes of eight? I don’t like waiting. He should be here any minute. What should I do if he tries to kiss me goodnight? No. I’m not going to slap him. 'There’s a car coming up the street. . . it passed our house. I hope he isn't late. Ill die if I have to wait much longer. “Oh, a car stopped and he’s getting out. I’m going up- stairs and please be nice. Hi, Curt, that’s a beautiful flower. Thank you very much. Yes. I'm ready to go. I’ll be home late. Good-bye. . .” . . . Nancy Linn NOTES The last bell rings! As people scramble to get into their seats the monitor says above the noise, ‘That was the last bell. Everyone please Ik quiet and take her seat.” As you settle down to hard study it dawns on you that you’ve forgotten to ask Joan what the English assignment is. The only alternative is to send her a note. This can be very dangerous if you don’t go about it in the right way, so I will proceed to explain the correct way to send a note in study hall. The first step is to write your message on a small piece of paper. When this is accomplished the method of transport- ing the note from you to the recipient has yet to be de- cided. For example, if the person you wish to receive the note sits more than three desks away, you tape the mes- sage onto a pencil and accidentally on purpose roll the pencil on the floor to her desk. Rolling the pencil must be made to look very accidental. A popular method used bv most girls in study hall today is the Futurama lipstick technique. All that is ii(‘cd( d is a Futurama lipstick case. Underneath the refill of the lip- stick there is a compartment in which you insert the note. Then, the same as the pencil method, you roll the lipstick case to the receiver of the note. Before you roll either the pencil or the lipstick, make sure the monitor isn't watching. Sometimes the person to whom you wish to send the note sits clear across the room. In this case you may use one of these ways. The most dangerous and the one that re- quires the most skill is shooting the note to the recipient in paper wad fashion. A simple rubber band is the means of transporting the note. But before anyone attempts this method, he should have some skill in paper wad shooting. 'Hu danger lies in the fact that if the monitor looks up at the wrong time and sees a piece of paper flying through the air. she knows something is up. Therefore you have to pick the opportune time to shoot the note. Sending a note to a girl sitting in the same row as you. but two or three seats away, is very easy, especially if you sit by a window sill. All you have to do is slide the note along the window sill to her. If you don’t sit by a window. I would suggest the waste-paper basket method. All that is needed is an excuse to throw something into the waste- paper basket. Then as you walk back to vour seat, go past the recipient’s desk and secretly hand her the note. That finishes up my suggestions for passing notes in study hall. I hope they have been of some help to you. Re- member if the monitor catches you, she will not hesitate to give you two demerits, so always 1h on the look-out. Right now the monitor of this study hall is writing out two demerits for some unfortunate person. Well, what do von know? I am the unfortunate person! . . . Carhjn Vog

IT IS UP TO US. Today is the age of the 11 bomb and the most up to date jet planes, fighting ships, and other new war equipment. It is also the time when countries are struggling to under- stand each other and when a dared temper or a wrong move can mean that the country we want as a friend is now an enemy. Because the weapons we are now produc- ing are the most deadly and fearful ever made, we can't afford to have any country our enemy. All the nations must work together to try to prevent world war. Everyone wants his country to he the strongest and the most forward, but we can’t try to have all our wants fulfilled. The feelings of other countries must be considered also. Soon it will Ik our turn to govern our land and help to keep the world at peace. It will he up to us. We must leant now all we can about government and the relationship of countries with one another. We have to keep the honor of our country clean by fair play and good will. Our ancestors have done these things in the l est way they knew, and we must not fall down on our obligations. We must start to prepare now for the great load of re- sponsibility that is our heritage. Soon it will he up to us. . . . Betsey Wright TRUFFLIGAN’S SCHOOL The screaming mob in fain.' land just about drove poor King Truffligan mad. He was the hit of the town. His sing- ing for a gnome was of the l)cst. But these fairies followed him around night and day and day and night. A thought struck him and he made a magic sign and there appeared a lake. I Ie called to the fairies and said. “Obey my command and for me jump in the lake and sink below the quicksand. I love fans but you are driving me into a crazy man. “Oh. we’ll obey your request, but couldn't yon make a lovely home for us and let us live there? “Say. that’s a good idea because maybe I can get rid of you peacefully. I’ll even make it a sehool as you little fairies certainly need some teaching so you won’t be so foolish. Truffligan called his fellow gnomes and dwarfs and had them search for tools. They made the most wonderful place that anyone had ever seen for a school. The fairies settled down at once to life in this new place, but all at once some- one thought that it would be nice to have a gnome school nearby. “We need them to have loads of fun and gaiety. Tlu school across the lake was built and soon it was installed with gnomes of all sizes and shapes. Everyone was so happy that the fairies named their school Kingswood after the King of the gnomes who had built it for them. . . . Jenny Green . . . Sally Fead . . . Betsey Wright
