Q , C, - Cf rf' il SCHOOL LIFE What is more conducive to school than a September day, crisp and clear, and per- haps the thought of some new face, pre- ferably good looking! On September 9, 1946, 325 students wandered up the hill to be in their places by 8:00 a.m. It's nev- er hard to spot the Freshmen: they cling together with ereeking knees and cold hands awaiting what everybody seems to think is doom. The Seniors, eagerly grasping their new promotion to the high- est rank. always come late swaggering and discussing past events in loud bold voices. By the time Mr. Dawson has called the different groups together. there is no doubt in anybody's mind who is who. A- long the back wall of the auditorium are the teachers. It is really quite interesting to try to match new teachers with empty positions, but for some odd reasons we never get them right. For about two weeks before school actually does begin, there is a group of boys who spend their afternoons jumping around and getting themselves in a white- hot pitch for that disease that affects a vast majority of the American people - - football. They moan and groan about the terrible exercises and tactics they are put through. but just try to change the subject when they are talking about foot- ball. More than one group of girls has re- tired to the powder room because the t'men are talking football. Not even a hard-earned tan or new hair-do can in- terrupt the train of thought which revol- ves around the pigskin. The Hrst two weeks of school rind much attention fo- cused on the football field and the heroes who show up with all sorts of scars and scratches. It was a toss-up to see what the girls were taking pictures of. the coach or the fellas. There is always much speculation up and down Main Street and around dinner tables as to the outcome of Pag X' f x bp!

Ladders were toppled over backstage leaving bodies crushed. Too bad for those flies that in- sist on staying around until it snows. but the members of the cast were undismayed and proceeded with affairs at hand. As the time for the opening night approach- ed. Freddie's desk was buried deeper and deeper in little odds and ends. Even that had its advantages: she could go away and her classes never knew if she were behind the desk or not. On the 26th of November the curtain went up on another one of RFHS's Junior class plays. Jerry Healy probably would tell you it wasn't as good as theirs and I won't admit it was up to our play of last year. but A Case of Springtime was mighty good. fFifty cents. pleasell Smells like snow along about now, and we wake up in the early morning, about 9:00 or 10:00, school or no school, to find snow on the ground. It doesn't last long, but it sticks around long enough to re- mind us that football is over and basket- ball hugs the spotlight. But we would have soon heard about that anyway by the most peculiar noises coming from the gym after school. Due to one thing and an- other. it was awhile before we got start- ed. but at last the team got under way at Ellsworth, In spite of the fact we lost that first game, the team was intact and hard at work. Competing in the confer- ence was hot and heavy, but River Falls proved its skill by winning all but three of their games. Not only were the basket- ball musclemen at work, but also those brain tease-rs and travelers, the debaters. It's never hard to tell a debater. He does- n't wear letter sweaters, but he has that dictionary look after a few Weeks of scout- ing for material to build a case on. It's wise to stick to subjects you know some- thing about when talking to a debater. be- cause after a few of his Words you'll feel twice as ignorant as you are, and bro- ther, that's bad. As for those words, he probably doesn't know what they mean either, so just play along for his sake. In spite of defeats and new material, the de- bate team made it to Madison with their coach. Mr. Booth. I never did find out how they came out: it seemed to be a hush-hush affair. but all reported a rous- ing time. Fingernail gnawing begins in earnest now in preparation for the winter formal. Trips to the city produce new formals and white dinner jackets for the main event of the pre-Christmas festivities. R Club president. Carl Finstad, and his date, Lib- by McClellen, led the Grand March a- round the gym that looked like a winter ballroom. Before the dance actually took place. there was much flutter and flurry providing a lot of color and atmosphere to the local gossip. 4-7'0 -1 Qwwwgwifws yffwttwwhf JAVA' f9'bTe'?.3e Page Twenty-Eight But really, what we all look forward to is Christmas vacation. It turned cold, so the skating was very good and when the skating wasnlt, the parties were. More color for the local girls because every night the Canteen divulged persons head- ed for some house or another. Mother's sugar cannister was empty and the fruit cake was all gone, but we couldn't let the boys lose their strength. I heard tell that a bunch of the Seniors were flying air- planes and playing basketball when they weren't knocking over Christmas trees. Sounds like needles of fun, doesn't it? Blame that one on the typewriter and the tinsel I'm picking out of my eyes. I al- ways heard vacation was a time to get rested up. Ha! Judging from the bleary eyes and drooping ears, rest may be de- Hned in a little different way. Teachers tried bribes, pins and alarm clocks to wake up the mob, but gave up and went to sleep with the best of us. Vacation was soon left behind in the blur of ban- quets and tournaments. Now in school there is a group who, during the course of the year, attract a lot of attention besides dragging in plen- ty of money for the speech contestants to go to Madison. CI couldn't resist Cina.J They are the musclemen of the school, the R Club. But do not think for one minute that these fellas could get any place without another organization that has as its chief job, the moral sup- port of the team - the T.N.T. CI took my life in my hands on that one.J For some reason along about February the boys look thin and run down, so the girls de- cide to give them a feed, with all the trimmings, with even a program for these fellas that play football, basketball, base- ball, box and run miles. The Senior girls had quite a time waiting on the boys and seeing who was going to out-eat whom. Harry Laufenberg won top honors in that field for eating what Nancy Murry brought to him. It was a pretty chewy Valentine. Incidentally, recordings of the evening's program were made for those who really want to know what men say at their banquets. It can be obtained for a fee Cthey don't pay the Kinnick staff muchb. Besides banquets and dates, people were starting to catch those winter colds, the drippy kind. The skating wasn't so bad and when the girls found out the col- lege boys skated, the warming house was jammed. Speaking of college men, at the beginning of the school year, they caused quite a commotion. There were wild ru- mors circulating the town about good- looking veterans, but proof of the pud- ding is the eating , so when the KK was packed the night school started with all sorts and shapes of men ave X1 xr Conversrtrons contarned such trdbrts a Oh thc cutest fclloxxs trred to follow me ro c Frou no rcs Isrx not ont but s v c trcx t IN tl clrnc ll ll lil L lflll S proxccl to bc true The hrgh school boxs nt hrxe nuch to s but those xx rt om 1 rcx 1 f mr holc ir rule srdt of the thrngs th rt go on 1 school there rre certrm outsrdc actlvrtres xx hrch xxc find trme to engage rn The KK for mst rncc m Mom h rs for ye rrs tr rc d to g,ct me to come hornc rltcr school slrc ru c lm but tu smoky atmosphere and drm roar that mx Dad s prpe and radro cannot duplrcate It IS always 5 00 p m before any of us arrrve hom By that trme Mother has peeled the potatoes and started the drnner her self Gthers partrcularly the boys man age to go a lrttle farther down the street and whrle away the hours If rts records xou want a tr rp to Tousley s Ray s Elec tr rc Shop or Davrs McLaughl1n wrll take more of your already wanrng trme but a nevx record The Temp has r fat mugs of cave man coffee rf you really want to rum your drnner After school lrfe rs as much a part of four years of hrgh school as the Prom rnd footb rll Make mrne plarn ' Along about thrs trme of the long dragged out wrnter we start stockrng up on cough drops bubble gum and other 1 tems that spell tournament I dont re member tournaments before I got to hrgh school but I vxonder rf rn ve olde past they made as much norse as we do I s not lrke an ordrnary game you know but a combrnatron of the year s xxork xTh first day of the tournament found an even hrgh 1 prt h of excrtement than the usual Frrlav m le J The pep meetrng xfxas sup pos d to be a scream rt usually xx as xx rth the audrence screamrng from rnhuman treatment On a nrght lrke that 'xlother gaxe up all hopes of havmg dm ner on trme In order to get a seat rt xx as necessarx to get shovrng room rn the xr crnrtx of the doors about b UU pm even though the games drdnt strrt untrl 400 pm There are manx xx rxs to amu1 xoursclf xxhrle xou are xxartrng Brmg xour knrttrng although usuallx xou ll h rve to rrp rt out xx hen xou get home after the rffarr rs all over If there arc member of the opposrng srde srttrng near xou though the knrttrng needles xxrll comc rn handv Others concealed a deck of cards about therr person and plaxed a short round of Old Mard Bx the trme xou are xxell settled rn Vour three rnch sectron of the floor or bench somebodx Page Twenty Nrne t I 4 x.

What about a woman's? I made the mistake of asking a fella that, and he said a woman's fancy is turning all the time. What about that, girls? Mamie and Bill beat a path for all lovers to follow down creek, and the path never did have a chance to grow over. The college kids eventually found out What Down Creek was, and it has been a toss-up to see who went down there more. Often times the boys will overhear a group of girls planning a hen party down stream, or maybe they were supposed to overhear. Anyway it always was lots of fun throwing rocks at noises in the bushes which proved to be nothing more wicked than the local team . Down creek is an institution of River Falls which has grown to mean skipping school hours in Mr. Booth's room to atone for the misdemeanor. Studying by this time has gone from worse to none at all. The baseball team digs out the bats and balls and proceeds to get ready to win the championship as in years past The screen back of home plate is lined with grade school Babe Ruths and inter ested girls. Over on the other side of the field the track team is arduously being prepared. If someone bats a ball over in to track territory, they toss it back: or if a stray discus should get over on home plate ,it's tossed back. Ever seen a discus That's good, because this will make sense to you then. One of the funniest things that happen- ed all year was the donkey basketball game sponsored by the Canteen Council Ruby Roehl prefers 'tgoing to coming and Hip Carisch and his mule had an argument to see who was going to sit on the other the longest. Heal bravely tried a little black number with fleas which was rougher than Charlie's Aunt A good sum of money was raked in from the huge crowd which stood on chairs coats, heads or whatever happened to be near by. v v Cina kept his fingers crossed, but still River Falls won nine first places at the District Speech Contest. More fun at Madison! cried a bunch of the boys! I never knew what the girls said, but Fred- die just about resorted to gags and chloro- form. Results at state were highly satis- factory and the Fanny Farmer Candy ev- en better. Amid a burst of drums and horns, A- pril bows out with hopes of a victory over Hudson. Rumors fly thick and fast from one school to another as to the ability of the Marching bands: but regardless of ru- mors, every night at six the band gathers at school to make blisters a little bigger and waists a little leaner, It was decided nop 1 W3 mg -ignzllli-ui'-. 1 ' J' 'fv Efiii III 1-13 ,Q Eefii 'tea ff f 5 Ill -.. . - .-1-. , 'P I 71 1 Page Thirty-One -Q1 s .

The musicians groups gave a good account of themselves with six groups getting first ratings at the district. That's mighty nice harmonizing, gang! Inciden- tally, it was the biggest number from the district. . You counted the days, and your boy friend his nickels. The Juniors kept see- ing blue crepe paper in their sleep and the Seniors rememberd a year ago that eli- maxed a good year. Stardust has been a favorite dream ballad of lovers for years. so the Juniors, being a romantic class, used that as their theme. Creamed chic- ken made for good banquet fare. By 8:30 p.m. couples started strolling into the gym for the annual Prom. The gym looked very sharp and for remembrance's sake and 31.50, Gene Brown took pictures. Tir- ed as you may be, it is always hard to take off your glad rags and crawl into bed because it seems like time went so fast. But for all of us we can chalk it up as another Cyellow with age? memory. Before long the library loses its cus- tomary low buzz. What's wrong? Final exams, no doubt. Some kids who never open their books from one day to the next spend the whole period looking at the pic- tures in their text books. Seniors go a- round with a happy, far-away gleam in their eyes. Registration. filing away of books and locks until a new class shall unearth them in the fall! After four short years within solid brick walls, I like to remember our old metal loc- kers that line the halls. The books we read, the notes we passed, Friday, May 30, you came so fast! But as years fly by and memories fade. We'll not soon forget the fun we made. tu OO G. R 'U KW' ,JDJ- y.wJ?Yf,f My fT,J 'L Piygfwfuui me Organization K 4' N I in C f U I . 2 f X- 'K N F L .'
