Carringtons' number five as the best flocking' player of the tournament. The boys too busy fixing hot dogs or lugging coke to find much time to flirt with the girls, so it seemed. They were earning money to go to the Girls' District at Jamestown. Uust what would they be doing at a girls' tournament? ?l Plans for the Annual Foster County Tournament now received our undivided attention. Pop and candy had to be purchased, and pennants and pep novelties, ordered. Arrangements for the banquet were also completed. We sprang into this work with zest, with major portion of the work falling upon the seventh and eighth graders, with other non-basketball players pitching in. The basketball mothers under the management of Mrs. Vance, prepared and served the banquet, while the student assistants decorated the assembly and banquet tables. cleared the assembly for the dance following the banquet. The banquet was much fun. That ham and apple pie ala-mode was supreme.. Melvins jokes as MC, kept things humming. Tournaments followed each other on successive week-ends, with the boys going to New Rockford, and the girls to Jamestown. It was during this time that the Annual staff was busy writing their material, and preparing the High School St. Patrick's Day party. Class room movies were introduced as part of classroom instruction. It brought diversion and made learning more interesting. Spring thaw soon brought pleasant May days, and Senior Graduation activities took the spot light. Plans for the Senior spring dance began to take form, and the Juniors were working hard to make it the season's biggest affair. The first beautiful spring day was given to an all high school picnic at the Lake where we forgot the worries of approaching finals for a day. The week of May ZZ, was graduation week for the Seniors, while for the underclassmen, it was a week of studious preparation for the semester finals. May 27th--the last test is written--the last paper scored--now for that final report card, Yep! l passed em! Good-by teachers, good-by classmates, have a nice vacation, see you all next fall. llllkllflklkik If I cut a beef steak in two, asked the teacher, then cut the halves in two, what do I get? Quarters, answered the boy, Goodi and then again? Eighths Correct. Again: Sixteenths! Exactly, And then again thirty- seconds. And once more? Hamburger! Cried the little boy impatiently. Leonard Derr: Putting your saddle on backward, aren't you? Dude Rancher: Thats all you know about it, smarty. You don't even know which way I'm going. Were you a good little girl at Sunday School today? Yes the teacher offered me a big plate of money, and I said, No, thank you. Auntie: And what will you do my little darling, when you grow up to be a great big girl? Betty: Reduce?3.. 19 Were

EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SOPHOMORE'S FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL SEPTEMBER ZZ! SCHOOL AGAIN ..... Mcl-lenry School, long idle, is again a scene of busy activity. Heads up, heads up--yup, Matt's mowing the school yard. Mr. Smith, brief case in hand, has already begun his daily pilgrimagesi could be he's planning big things? Tuesday, the 7th, I see the kids are coming to school. I'd better hurry, Mom, where's my new sweater? Hi Doreen, gee it's nice to see you. Say, have you seen the new teacher yet? Ya, he's single too. Whoops! Go slow, these floors are pretty slick. Mr. Leir has really put a shine on them. Oh! doesn't everything smell fresh and clean? Hurry, let's get a seat together in the assembly. Sh-h-h---here comes the teachers. It's going to be as interesting as I thought. There's Mr. Billigrneier, look at the satisfied look on some of those girls faces...you'd think it was Frank Sinatra...he's teaching Biology too...the lucky boys who get to take shop...I wonder what's the hardest--Algebra, or General Mathematics? Looks like the whole class is back. I see Chuck Ecker is back, and his hair is as red as ever. Did I hear giggling? Sure enough, it's Doreen and Lois at it already. If I could only see over the tall Sophomore, Irene Smith, I might be able to see her sister Helen, sitting quietly minding her own business as always. Ouchf whose big feet in the aisle? You might have guessed it--Cy's already stretched out for his nine month's nap, I'd better holler boy's basketball practice! if I expect to arouse hirn enough to be able to pass through... Say, I wonder if Phyllis' here---because of her cute, unassuming ways you have to look for her in the crowd...sure enough, she's found herself a secluded corner. I declare, her lawn mowing or her helping Matt Faytle with his milking chores hasn't cost her any weight. The class brains, Hoffman is here...glad to see him aboard again. How else am I going to pass General Mathematics? Shirley Hovet...whoops! she's Mrs. Walter Jones now...wonder if she senses a feeling of regret in not joining her classmates at school? Who's the boy in the cowboy boots and plaid shirt, and wears his legs in parenthesis? Oh yes, that's Leonard Derrf, the new boy from Bottineau.
