lt Happens Ever Day What's In a Name? Taft students are somewhat confused to find there are three Millers, three Johnsons, two Perrys, two Mitchells, a Buchwald and a Buchwalter, a Rapper and a Rapier, and a Rodger and a Rogf ers, on the faculty this year. Good hunting, kids! Teachers Trim Tresses Two popular Taft teachers decided to part with their long hair this summer. The shorn sheep are Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Littig. The sacrifice was well worth while because the new style is very becoming to both. Nassau Wins Praise After teaching six weeks of summer school at Austin, Miss Capron took a well earned and well enjoyed vacation trip to Nassau. raft Grad raps That swell grad, Marge Nelson Uune '5OJ, is already putting her talents to work. Her essay entitled How the American Legion Serves the Commu' nity won a S600 first prize in a Legion contest. C. A. A. Sponsor Chosen Miss Jordon will be the guiding light of the G. A. A. this semester. We know she will do a wonderful job and wish her the best of luck. Smooth Song LeRoy Bazany deserves hearty con' gratulations. Roy, a Hne saxophonist and scholar, was awarded a S500 scholf arship to the University of Notre Dame. Nice going, fella. Purdue Snags Star Phil Klezek is a fellow to keep your eye on. He is attending Purdue Univerf sity and is making a great name for him' self on the football Held. Chick Evans, Ta.ft's Friend John Koepke and Roger Sandstrom are attending school on the Chick Evans Scholarship. The grant, renewable year' ly, includes tuition, room, and aid for books and fees. District Sup't Visits Paris Doctor Bell addressed the faculty yes' terday in the Social Room. He related his experiences as a member of the UNESCO Conference which he attended during the summer recess of Chicago schools. V W' WW' ' Tl aft Tribune Tait High School, Chicago, Illinois September 28, 1950 P. T. A. Launches Fall Schedule In the limelight at the first regular P. T. A. meeting held on September 18, was Dr. Kenneth Nolan, Health Director of the Chicago Public Schools. Dr. Nolan's address was correlated with the current P. T. A. theme concerning physif cal education. On completion of his interesting speech, new officers for this semester were introduced by Mrs. Rob- ert Keay, president. On September 25, a large group of women met in the Social Room to attend the annual freshmen mothers' tea. P. T. A. board members acted as host' esses, serving delicious refreshments to all present. A most enjoyable afternoon was had by everyone, and new members seemed to be impressed by Taft's active organization. Plans have been made for the P.T. A. to sponsor a barn dance. It will be held on Saturday night, October 21, at the Norwood Park Field House, 5801 N. Natoma. Tom Pemberton's orches' tra will play, ,and Tom will do the call' ing. Tickets will be 5Oc if bought ahead of time, and '75c if bought at the door, so be sure to get yours early. IT'S FOR YOU!! Hear ye! Hear ye!! On Friday even' ing, September 29, the first Taft Dance will be held in Taft's gym. Instruction in the very latest dance steps will last from 7:30 'til 8:30, and social dancing will last from 8:30 'til 11:45. Phil Herman's Orchestra will play for this dance and for the following two, then Willie Randal and his orchestra will take over for the next three dances. Both bands will consist of seven pieces.

Brace yourselves, here comes some news about what YOU'VE been doing: Why is Anne Breen so embarrassed when she opens 'her lunch bag and finds green grapes? Who's this guy muscles that Diane W. has her eye on? It seems that this semester, same as before, ferry H. is as talkative as ever. Who's this girl Don Erickson is so interested in? Initials PJ M. I. gives her love to G. H. f???No comment???j Could it be that Barbara Anderson still has a crush on that Schurzite? Carol Hauserman and Bob Amfalclern' are still going steady. Good luck, kids! That's about all for now except for this one reminder, when blackmailing your friends, please use as few initials as possible, because you can't tell I. P. from M. J. without a program anyway. Drop all your gossip into locker 1076. FALL FASHIONS Through the halls of TAFT we have our girls trying to decide whether short or long hair is in style. On one side we have Barbara Thompson, and on the other Bette Ha-mal, both mighty attract' ive. Tiny Sally Darnell sure made an en' trance into English with her cute polka dot blouse. We're also wondering if you've seen Gerry Gerharcl's polka dot shirt, not that you could have missed it. Seems as though our Blue Jean clan is finally petering out, let's hope it stays dead, girls! Keglers Form Leagues On September 14, many beginners as well as old timers were present for the organization of new bowling leagues for the forthcoming year. Bowling members will meet on Mon' day and Wednesday, 3:30 in the after' Rolaway Recreation, 4840 N. Mondays will be eliminated if there are not enough bowlers. Fres'hmen interested in bowling, but are unable to attend because of a late pro' gram, will be glad to know that a Sat' urday league will be formed. Mr. Puippo, who is the bowling coach, will be at the alley on Saturday, September 30, at 10:00 for the purpose of organizing this league. Taft has always had fine leagues and school teams and will teach beginners how to bowl. Last year Taft won both the boys' and girls' city championship which is proof that anyone can be taught to bowl. noon at Pulaski. who are Olson Leads Band Have you heard some smatterings of discordant melody coming from the as' sembly hall lately? Well, you guessed it. It's the Taft concert band starting to work on some new music for the com' ing contest. From now until time for the contest, there will be plenty of these noises, but they will steadily decrease, we hope. There will also be the sound of Pop's baton descending upon the head of a would'be musician who happens to play a wrong note. New oflicials have been selected for the coming semester by the members of the Taft Symphony Band. The election was held soon after school started and Gerald Olson was chosen to head the group under the official title of president. Alice La Marche will be the band's sec' retary, and Don Ernst as treasurer will handle the finances of the organization. Nine advisors for the group were also chosen. They are Bob Jacobi, Bruce Geisert, Fred Paul, Graham Olson, Jerry Spachner, Phyllis Geisert, Don Crum' back, Glenn Boas and Judith Moers. Alice Taylor and Russell Deards will take care of the publicity, and in addition to his job as president, Gerald Olson will act as the student conductor. Young and pretty: Which would you prefer in your future husband- wealth, ability, or appearance? Not'so'young, Not'so'pretty Spinster: Appearance, and the sooner the better. Two cross'eyed men bumped into one another. One said, 'iWhy d0n't you look where you're going? The other replied, L'Why don't you go where you're looking?
