UNIOR PLAY CA T COMEDY ENTERTAINS LARGE CROWD The enticing play, Gypsy Jim, presented by the junior class No- vember 10, drew one of the largest crowds in recent years. Three acts of mystery and com- edy were climaxed when the anti- cipated heart throbs, Gypsy Jim fBill Kellyl and Lucy Blake fWanda Highj stopped beating around the mulberry bush and came out and said they loved each other. The sweeping Romeo or the gal- lant Galahad, would have been swept off his charger had he seen Kelly depict the roaming Gypsy Jim. Employing grace, talent, and charm was the little Juliet, Wanda High, as she captured the heart of Gypsy Jim and many others. Mary Jane Thomas furnished interesting complications towards developing the climax, when she involved the jilted Romeo, Jim Roberts, as Dan- iel Glazer. Splendidly interpreting the part of the rejected lawyer was Donald Gunn as Harry Blake. Charlotte Newman, made eyelids flicker in her realistic portrayal of Mary Blake, the sad wife who believed she had one foot in the grave, but who didn't realize that she was knocking the props from her family with the other. Bill Staten acted well the part of the discouraged son, Tom, While the clear-toned Milton Stear was by no means a disappointment in the pre- sentation of Harold Kent. No less worthy were Vyrl Anderson and Ferdinand Kopf as they gave cre- ditable account of themselves as Gypsy Jim's helpers. One of the smallest moppets, yet not so small as an actress, was Pat Naffzinger in the role of Grace. Darrel Hollibaugh played the butler. ,gg ,L f 61 Newseztes 5 The Home Economics club met Thursday, November 10, in Miss Leech's room at 4 o'clock. It was decided that the theme for the year would be 'tHomemaking in Foreign Countries. Suggestions for Thanks- I . . . . . 'giving entertaining were discussed. Shirley Bourn gave directions for making unusual place cards. Lillian Stock read Thanksgiving Menus which was a clever comparison of 1888 and 1938 Thanksgiving menus. Dolores Kopf presented suggestions for centerpieces. Dick Cranford, sophomore, has been recuperating several weeks from a broken collar bone, returned to school last week. He was injured ln action during the midget foot- ball game with Brady. From the money earned at the faculty dinner this fall, thirty glass cups and two new pieces of Fiesta- ware have been bought for the home economics department. r HAGADONE'S CAFE Come in and try our Steaks and Sandwiches! x Phoenix Hose 3 thread and 4 thread, 790.

EDITORIALS UN-NOTED HEROES The junior play, Gypsy Jim, was a success Csay our friendsj but who made it so? The players, of course, but not alone. They couldn't run out and pull the curtain, nor drop the messages down the chim- ney. They weren't concerned with the furniture, but thanks to the Ros- enberg Company, and to the proper- ty and stage committees, the stage was ready. To the musicians' who added bits here and there, to Miss Soker and her class who made the neat pro- grams, to the janitors who served overtime, the class is especially grateful. In this recognition of unheralded service, the juniors refer, also to Superintendent Miller and to Prin- cipal Ashton, Whose advice, assist- ance, and understanding helped ex- ceedingly. And then there was Miss Leech who stopped her duties one after- noon to sew pockets into Gypsy Jim's costume so that he might pull out powders, charms or wine glasses at the right moment. Finally, there were those Paul Re- vere's who spread the alarm fbillsl to every auto, store window and farm. And so it is all these servers, and others, whom we thank and salute. --The Junior Class.

You will ind it listed as rahaugcum or Uraugroughcumf' In 1612 it became aracoune but still resembled a badger. By 1625 the people were hunting raccoons. The foregoing is an example of a loan-word, this being one taken from the Indian language and changed to its present-day form. A I QXZUZWICZ , He! Ha! Very funny indeed- Isn't it the screwiest thing for someone to go horse back riding at three in the morning? asked Addison. It sure is, answered Dorothy, 'tWho did? Paul Revere.

Go how? interrupted Billie Bob. 'tThat's all, they just go. And now that I have dropped my tongue I must stop my mind from rattling on. Ethel Mae Pedersen, the charm- ing, brown-eyed, senior star rates our honor roster this week. Leafing through her high school career We i unearth three prom- inent positions she is holding capably. S'nce she is vice- president of the senior class, presi- dent of the Nation- al Honor Society, of the senior year- book, and an active Spiz member, we do not hesitate to verify her statement that she is, Too busy to have time for a hobby. Ethel heads her class even though each morning she comes eight and one-half---blocks, no - miles. And they say in the office, She is late only when snowflakes dance up to her elbows. As far as sports are concerned she can inhale either the spirit of a football or basketball game with the same amount of enthusiasm. Her ambition at present is to be a home economics teacher. As I have said before, She is busy-yes, so busy she hardly even had time for this interview.

AURORA HIGHLIGHTS DIM LEXINGTON ARMOR Holding out for nearly three quar- ters against the undefeated Auror- ans, the Minute Men finally bowed to the Huskies here, 13-6, Friday night, November 18. The first half was uneventful ex- cept for a Lexington threat on the Aurora 6-yard line when Lexington's incompleted pass turned the ball to Aurora on downs. Late in the third quarter Britton, behind almost perfect blocking, swept around his own right end for a 48-yard race to a touchdown. Lex- ington fumbled on the extra point, and left the score 6-0 in favor of the Minute Men. Lexington's score seemed to elec- trify both elevens so that fire be- gan to flash in their playing.

This seems to give the Lexington fans more hope in the Minute Men-Swede exhibition for Turkey Day. Lexington reserves mowed the jun- ior Haymakers clean November 8, to a loss of 25-0. The regular re- serve team had little trouble mak- ing headway against the Cozad line- men. Spectacular 55-yard runs were made by Walbridge, D. Stuckey, and Foreman.
