Mr. Wing has been able to keep board prices low by his careful management. The boys helped to bring in the vegetables which were planted in gardens made especially for the dormitory. Chickens which were out on shares helped provide for the meat. Dormitory life brightened greatly by the parties which were sponsored by the deans. All in all, everyone has enjoyed their dorm life, thanks to Mr. Wing and Mrs. Kearton and the cooperation of the students. fi' . .f' V 1?

Did you notice all of the football men CBoy, what a plugb Friday? Did they ever look like veterans of the Wounded Knee! I hear Mrs. Hoerner thought the 'Soap foamers' looked bright enough for junior history so she gave it to them in place of English. I think the school should buy com- passes for some of these green fresh- ies. I saw a few of them trying to sneak into geometry class. I don't know how Chief works it, but I notice he is the only boy in three of his classes. I hear that Bob Woltin-g is getting a copyright on his new book, Three Ways of Being a Moron ! And now I leave you with this thought.-All's fair in love or war, and all's war in love affairs. I I I I GRADE NEWS I I I I lst Grade: There are eleven girls and six boys in the first grade.

Cluny, being an orphan, struck a severe blow upon Mr. Porritt, a plumber, as it was his place to handle and care for her. Often peo- ple commented that Cluny did not know her place-Certainly it was not having tea at the Ritz, staying in bed all day Sunday or eating oranges to relax the nerves. Mr. Porritt decided her actions did not help his reputation as a plumber, so he shipped her to Friars Carmel in Devon, which is owned by Sir Henry Carmel. Events began to happen when Sir Henry's son And- American history class is making maps of the early Roman, Grecian, Egyptian and Phoenician empires.

English III class is working on conversation. Advanced agriculture class is studying farm machinery, the pre- sent unit is a study of plows. Freshman shop class is making wooden coat hangers in order to learn the use of various shop tools. Economic class is studying the electrical service in Wessington Springs.

CONCERNING BYGOLLOGY UI think that I shall never see A poem as lovely as a grasshopper, A louse, a flea, or mining bee Or the greasy goo on the food chop- per.' Due to the requirement of two sciences to graduate, most of the little sophomores and two brilliant seniors, are very busy studying by- gollogy. Because most of the students re- quested taking the easiest half the first semester, they are deep in the eart of mesothorax, coxa, trochanter femur and the trachae. By the way, the last year biolo- gists want to know if this year'si biologists have harvested the corn' crop which was planted last year. P We now know why some people remind us of grasshoppers-they have three simple eyes in front, two compound eyes on the sides, one ear 1 on each side.

Probably the poor freshmen willl not suffer to a large degree, but with combined forces of the upper class- men, we promise you freshmen that it won't be a snap. Although time will tell, We hope the sophomores do not get too clev- er, since, after all, We were all freshmen once. So let's everybody attend and watch the freshmen with their clever antics. G.S.B. I - l l I News In A Nutshell I I u l By Phyllis Wood When General MacArthur, allied supreme commander, stated that he could eventually occupy Japan with 200,000 soldiers, things started hap- peningL Various senators in Wash- ington immediately criticized Mac- Arthur for making such a statement. Some think it might be possible that jealousy is the cause of the criticism. It could be they are seeking the hon- or and glory that usually accom- panies the occupation of a defeated country. Those opposed to MacAr- thur feel he has an eye on the '48 election, although he has publicly claimed he has no interest. 1 ll l I I GRADE NEWS I I I I First Grade: Mrs. Hulda Burg and Mrs. Ann Hasz visited first grade Tuesday.

Last spring the C.I.O. News predicted industrial peace for the postwar period and look what they got. Labor troubles seemed to be brewing, but when Ithe explosion finally came, Wash- ington was not ready. Labor's de- mands were for shorter working hours and higher wages. It is de- manding a 30 per cent wage increase which would give us a good start towards an inflation unsurpassed in the U. S.

The attention of all stu- dents centered around two freshman boys, who, with a piano and an ac- Icordian, were trying to create some- thing related to music.

Instead of making trade ne-l gotiations with foreign countries,. we are spending all our time withi internal problems: this is hindering, the establishment of a world organi-I zation. I Very little had been said about the political situation in Greece until Archbishop Damos Kinos, Regent of Greece, made a visit to London last' week. The Greeks believe he still holds his Regency and controls the government, which, by the way, is' supported by the British in Greece. As winter grows closer, Greece isl still a hungry nation-whose job will it be to feed it? . The uprisings in China are steadily growing worse.

Many of us hear of it but few of us really know what it implies, or if we do know it, we fail to do anything about it. As football and basketball seasons approach, we should turn our thoughts to those victories we all want this year. The football boys have made an extra effort on the field for this coming Miller game, so let us behind the lines, make a special effort and cooperate with our cheerleaders in making it a real vic- tory. Of late years few businessmen and townspeople have patronized our games. Is it because of the crowded condition of the gym? We would like to have a new auditorium as much as any of you, but for the present we will have to be content with the one we have. As for foot- ball games, you have all the room necessary to have a hilarious time if only youill let go of yourself. Maybe you recall way back when your high school team walloped such and such a team. It does mean a lot to you and that's the way we want to remember this 1945-46 team. Maybe you don't think a cheering crowd means much, but I'm sure if you ask any of the boys they will tell you it does. A wagon is not much good with only three wheels, even if you have the horse to pull it. Well, anyway, think about it be- fore the first game, Oct. 5. ---9-9-Qi-... pg I I Class News I n ll m The bookkeeping class has re- ceived their workbooks. English I classes will complete the study of business letters this week. Algebra I classes are studying the formula. English ll are giving book reports. Spanish classes are corresponding with people from South America. General science class has finished a unit on the air and the various ways it serves man. I I Several new and interesting books have been added to our school library recently. Among them is a very impact novel on World War II, which consists of two volumes. Waverly Root, in The Secret History of the War, goes behind the scenes of World War II and brings forth many of the first developments and progress of the beginning war in Europe, which has resulted in chaos throughout the entire world. Root, a noted news- paper man, has not been prejudiced in his opinions, but has covered all paits of the global conflict from the blitz in Poland through the African invasion. Waverley Root began his journal- istic career in 1927, and up to the present has worked for several American and European publica- tionsg since 1940 he has written the aewspaper column Backstage of the ar. Material for Mr. Root's book was obtained during his visits in Europe as well as his authorized private srurces. In reading this book an idea is obtained of events of this war as well as better understanding of the post war conditions in the world. i-9-Q-gl.

Tommy Thompson and Ramona Kearns gave their version of modern jitterbugs. Alice Hille and Merrill Gunderson, Geraldine Rhodes and Gene Scott, blindfolder, fed each other syrup with teaspoons. A group consisting of Elaine Mettler, Robert Kirton, Delores Monroe, Vin- cent Reisland, Beverly Yttreness, Ervin Palmer, Alice Hensley and Willard Snyder were a comical sight as they placed grapefruit under their chins and passed them to the next person. Beverly Lasson, blindfold- ed, was given a ride on a board lifted by Robert Swenson and Mike Magee and then told to jump off after she had been lifted off the floor a few inches. Dihl Hasz and Elaine Knigge presented a duet Don't sweetheart me . Betty Jean Conklin gave forth with What a goose I amn to the tune of America .

I 'Ihe first four named will reign as cheerleaders over future activities. Pat casually walked on the stage, very stiffly knelt down, and said, Come on kids, give with a boom- a-lackafi With just a few cracking bones she got up and strode off the stage. I Leanna Thompson made a grace- ful debut, was introduced, and asked the assembly group to spell Springs, Incidently, there might ibe an excuse for the freshmen's not knowing how to spell Springs, but certainly not for the upper-class- men's not knowing how. l Very straight and noncholant, Hein climbed the stairs and walked to her place on the stage. After she had stood there for some time, George Krog said This is Miss Hein, who stays at the dorm. I After she had fallen upstairs, Ruth Ann Hodgson led the group in spelling Springs, Virginia Schwabauer very timidly sirode to the stage and with a big giggle spelled Springsf' After the ceasing of the wolf calls. Beverly Knight very gracefully led the group in spelling Springs, With a spring, a jump and a gig- gle, Breezie was on the stage wait- ing to be introduced. With an equal amount of energy, she led the as- sembly in a very well-known yell. Last but not least, Hermine, very much at ease, Cso we were to be- iievel said O.K., you guys, stand up and led us in a new yell, called Springs Altogether, voting was not easy.

For in- stance, the other night all the little freshmen boys were preparing for initiation. Just ask a number of ,girls wno were downstairs doing IK.P. Mr. Wing, came up to these 'girls and asked if they wanted to sce the boys. They did, and when they entered the boy's room, cries issued from each and every boy. Those who were yet dressed in trous- ers pulled those who had those charming skirts and sweaters out ,from under the beds Cnow, what jwere they doing there?J. I That's not all that happens at ,the dorm either. Anyone would be isurprised if they were awakened in , the middle of the night by someone's ifalling out of bed. A certain girl ifell out of bed, received help to igo downstairs, aroused both deans i l 4 and then had to have splints. The' rest of the night was spent in peace, but the next morning it was discov- ered that her wrist was broken. Someone should tell her not to have ,such dreams or else wait until she gets home where it isn't so far to the floor. For more information ask Ruby Knigge. Sometimes Mrs. Kearton wonders Iwhat all those boys are doing by the Ig1rl's door. They seem to be occu- ipied by something private.

Anyhow I know that you who read this could not be rightly accused of things such as making basketball shots for the waste paper basket, or otherwise cluttering the floors with articles too numerous to mention. Then, too, there are many books that seem ownerless after the four o'clock rush every day. If these were returned to the proper desk and I properly assembled, we would have much less confusion. . In any case, we must all realize that this carlessness causes someone unnecessary work. This seems com- pletely wrong when it is left to such a small minority-mainly the faculty and janitor. So lets everybody make use of waste paper baskets and drawers on our desks and really try to keep our desks in a straight aisle.

Love, youth, and spring combine to work magic in the hearts of Joe and Stella. This en- chantment commences this daring love the night before Joe is to go overseas. ' In the months that follow Joe goes overseas to Gaudalcanal and Bouganville, while Stella continues with her former employment and bears conquering fear, doubt and loneliness until his return. For many months no word is heard from him. Trouble arises when Stella applies about an allotment for her child from the corrupt and treacher- ous alderman, Stoney Pike. One of the most terrible tragic iepisodes ever recorded follows. Stel- la is lost in despair, it is at this mo- ment that a message comes that Joe is coming. This is the story of how Joe and Stella, backed by other decent, right- minded people, fight against power- ful forces aligned against them. These gallant Americans are fighting Americans, fighting firm in their American faith. A glorious and in- timate romance is combined with a thrilling, shocking, modern aroma. While walking through the high school during the Teachers Insti- tute, Mr. Wing was surrounded by feminine alumni. They inquired about the dormitory and asked if they could eat there. Many of them came to supper that night.

At the half, the score was 6 to 6 and remained the same until the last few minutes of the game when the Spartans suc- ceeded in making a desperate at- tempt for a touchdown. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1945 rriinsgfgix l 4 i Neither team scored in the first? quarter, despite the Spartans of- fensive which was almost successful. Both teams changed sides at the end of the quarter. The Spartans pushed forward, and a pass received by Mad-- oen from Fitzgerald resulted in a 20 i i i yard gain, From there, the spartansl drove their way to a touchdown, but 1 failed to make their extra point. After the kickoff, the Loggers gained the offensive and finally scored. They also failed to make an extra point. No score was made in the third quarter since both teams held their own. Throughout the entire game, offsides were responsible for a num- ber of penalties. The fourth quarter nearly failed to produce a score until the last few minutes of the game when the Spar- tans, in a furious effort and an end run, proved successful. Fayne Fitz- gerald made both touchdowns. An unlucky fumble made the try for an extra point unsuccessful. The beginning lineup was Reis- land, center, Sheppard, Palmer, guardsg Schryer, Madden, tackles, Krog, Bradley, ends, Haddorff, quar- terback, Winegarden, Rousch half- backsg and Fitzgerald fullback. - Substitutions included Burchfield, Mebius, Wolting and Kleppin. - .l.,,.4T, G.A.A.

Meeting Held At Madison Wednesday The F.F.A. officers went to Madi- son Wednesday evening to an of- ficers training school and a meeting of district No. 2. Several agricul- ture departments were present. The officers were divided into groups and had discussions on their duties. Officers were elected for the dis- trict. Bernard Madden, local vice- president, was elected district vice- president. The trip was very worth- while. in that the officers came back with a broader view on their indi- vidual duties. OH! WASN'T THAT A GAME! Have you all recovered from the football game? Confidentially, I havenlt, and I still can't understand tne principles tif there are anyb of that game. I really spent a hectic afternoon running from one end of the field to the other trying to keep up with the fellows. You know they really get around, and, personally I don't understand why they waste all that energy running with that ball. Why don't they just kick it? After all, they are playing football, aren't they? You couldn't prove it by me. It seems a little silly to go dash- ing down the field with the ball and then land on the' ground with a dozen fellows on top of you. It's so queer, too, for those fellows are al- ways members of the opposite team! Honestly, I yelled and yelled un- til I was hoarse. Everyone else was doing that, and me-I'm not one to be different-so! !! When that last touch down Cand don't ask me what that ish was made, everyone simply went wild. I wondered why, until I saw the puzzled looks on the faces of the kids from Plank, and then I thought Cyou know I do that once in awhile, tool, We must have won the game. So I began to jump up and down and vell-. By that time the crowd had begun to scatter, and there I stood, yelling at the top of my lungs. I felt rather foolish standing there all by myself. and for fear someone would think me crazy or something, I joined the girls and went home. By the way, I happened to hear this chance remark made by one of our senior girls at the start of the game- If we lose the game, train- ing school, here I come! Do you s'pose they'd keep you, Pat? locker room and showers. Lois Haw- lev was elected manager of kitten- ball to complete Ruby Knigge's per- iod for this sport.

Last week our relations with South America were pretty well ironed out until a group of navy officers in Venezuela started a revolution. The revolution finally subsided, but it will be some time before things will be running smoothly again. i Q Come on, little girls. open your eyes, the seven o'clock bell just rangf' As these words rang through the dorm, two or three people roused and began to open their eyes. They continued doing this for twenty minutes when someone shouted the time. They then sat up and yawned for ten minutes. An electric shock entered the room as the warning bell rang. Five minutes later these girls appeared at breakfast. They van into the dining hall only to be turned back. Mr. Wing had made the seating arrangement at the table for the rest of the year. Oh, do I have to sit there? someone re- marked. At last everyone was seated. Well, I see most of our fellow students came back from the game Friday. It looked like a nice place Ito stay-for Weekends, only, of course. ' I I MH, .. I see Sheppard and Wolting had a little business in Yankton after the game Friday.

They rushed up the stairs to find that the first bell had rung, but they made it to first period class. - , Boy, that dinner was good. Sup- Ipose I'll have time to go up town? someone. questioned. The girls thought it was nice that they finally :made it back to school at 1:15. I Suppose we will ever get to sup- per? they wondered as they ran the last few steps to the dining room. As they sat down in their chosen ND places they disturbed everyone Kby being late. I After waiting all during the meal Jlr.

Walter Reuther, speaking for U.A.W., claimed that a thirty per cent in- crease would still allow enough profit on goods without increasing the selling price. Wilson favors an adoption of a 45 or 48 hour week, which would increase production and still allow payment of higher wages without boosting prices. An associated press poll indicates that unless something happens to change the minds of several senators, President Trumanls Bill for Peace- time Conscription may be killed in the senate.

I SCHOOL SPIRIT Even though the football season has come to a close, we shall be equally interested in the coming basketball season. Not only the basketball boys themselves, but all students should help in promoting a hearty school spirit. During the football season, many of the boys were engaged in activi- ties which would not let them coop- erate to their best degree with the coach. This, along, with other small items during practice has had a bad effect on the player's conduct in the games. Naturally, had such an the least we training and this does not occur.

S. wants no territory except bases necessary to hold its power advantages. The U. S. wants cooperation in the West- ern Hemisphere and no interfer- ence from outside. The U. SL will keep up its armed forces to keep peace and defend itself. The U. S. intends to see to it that all nations gree., have a chance to choose their own governments. The U. S. will refuse to recognize any government im- posed on any nation by the force of any foreign power. The U.

The party was a masquerade and stu- dents came dressed in a motley ar- ray of costumes. There were a few ghosts, a skeleton, two or three pi- rates, a couple of Indians, many un- known tramps, one lonely horse, a pair of siamese twins and many oth- ers. From 7:30 until 9:00 the masquer- aders tried to keep their identity un- known. At 9:00 the judging of cos- tumes was held. The prize for the most original costume went to Clair Tiede as Hitler, the prizes for the most beautiful to Zilpha Shoff, dres- sed as an Arabian girl, and Mary Lou Anton masquerading as a pi- rate, the prize for the most unique costume to Francis Nelson, dressed in a skeleton costume. The students who won prizes for keeping their identity were Ethel Jane Powell, Beverly Hein, Ramona Koenig, Elaine Bender, Doris Clif- ton, Alta Rogers and Darlene Pet- erson. Folk games and bingo were carried on throughout the party. A lunch was sponsored by the senior class in the Home Economics room. F I ' F I The Bookshelf I I By Mary Lou Anton I l I Courtesy by Helen Sprackling, is a book of etiquette for the teen-age boy and girl who are interested in courteous living and our changing times. In this changing world of to- day it is necessary that our good manners of courteous living never die out and also that we have an awareness of the new standards and conditions. Helen Sprackling has gained in- formation for this book through con- sultation from audiences and letters and by her travels in various coun- tries. Every occasion has its specific good courtesy habits. Even our tg oops overseas have carried sets of courtesy rules. The basis of good will is good manners and under- standing. Helpful information on courtesy in all aspects of life is found in this book. First Grade: .Judith Perkins, Gary Will, Vir- ginia Hoerner and Tommy McWil- liams took part in the Homecoming piogram.

To us it is past history, as we have before us the fresh recollection of the second World War, more hor- rible and more destructive than ten world wars. War is inevitable at times, but, in a period of twenty-five years, how could man lose all sense of what is! right and what is wrong? Man has no heart, or he could not torture vic- tims as he has in this war. Some authorities say, with the develop- ment of the atomic bomb, that it could destroy the whole universe. 1 Is this what the soldiers of the first world war were fighting for? No! I don't think so. They died for I peace. Let us live for peace. We must not have another war! l i ' PLP I l n l f g WITTY-WITS , I By Wickre I l I Did you hear about the old maid! who had a stove that smoked, a parrot that swore and a cat that stayed out late at night?

S. Forester. A British convoy to Malta was being escorted by five light cruisers and twleve destroyers because of the food supply on board the H.M.S. Ar- tcmis 5000 ton light cruiser. Malta was important because of its strategic position. As long as Malta held out, the German couldn't put much force into the offensive against Russia. Suddenly, after bombing by air- planes, a major Italian fleet was spotted. The British fleet knew that hard fighting was necessary in or- der to win against this powerful fleet. The wind proved favorable for a smoke screen, thus the lighter ships found encouragement. The Artemis, hit twice, with many men killed and wounded, suddenly dispatched the winning shot. Malta's fate was de- cided. The life of the men on the cruiser is vividly described, even to their innermost thoughts during the great battle. Cooperation, knowledge and alertness combine to make these men superb. Mr. Forester, the author, spent several weeks on a Royal Navy war- ship previous to writing this book.

The play is under the di- rection of Mrs. A. L. Hoerner. Almost Summer is the story of the Jones family-their trials and tribulations. It takes places a few idays before school is out, and Paul, played by Clair Tiede, is worrying about his grades, his girl and his rival. Jane, enacted by Beverly ,Knight, is Paul's heorine. Jane is lthe most beautiful girl in the world in Paul's eyes. Then there is Mary, played by ,Phyllis Wood, Paul's sister who is l very much in love with Jack, played by Francis Nelson.

Club Initiation l Held Tuesday Night 1 It seems rather funny these days to see some of the future letter men of the W.S. club go tip-toeing down the hall very quietly. But it all ends when a letter man steps up and says, Sing me a song and make it good. There will probably be a weak reply of some little diddy, but it always finishes up with a good dose of castor oil. ' All in all, this is just a sample of what happens at W.S. club initiation and if you stick around long enough you will see Sheppard coming drag- ing in looking like he had been drag- ged through a knot hole the wrong way. 1 But at five o'clock the fire works begin. You will see Tiede come strolling in as happy as can be. Just as he turns the corner Wade steps out with a paddle and WHACK! Tiede walks no more. A Music in W.S.H.S. this year has!

This is due to the fact that, as yet, no teacher can be secured for the position. school spirit would be greatly lifted by the presence of a band glee club at our school activities public performances. If a teacher can be secured, students, in appreciation of this fact, should do everything in their power to bring out the high school music talent and present it to the public as a token of having made possible the music department. So, in remembering we may have a teacher soon, let us make up our minds to work toward that goal which will bring praise, instead of needless criticism.

The first person I ran into was Beverly Knight, and this is her ans- wer: 'The parties can be improved by having more folk dances and games along with the dancing. The class sponsoring the party should think that the students should lead the games. When strolling down the hall, I met,Ethel Jane Powell and Beverly Hein. They said, We need newer records, more interest on the part of the students, and, in addition, it would be a good idea to start a danc- ing class for those not knowing how to dance. The parties would be much improved if the boys that know how to dance would get out and dance. I walked into the Senior Assembly and spied Myron Mebius, who gave forth with- We need new and bet- ter records for the phonograph. Having the parties oftener is a good idea also. Virginia Schwabauer stated that 1 think school parties can be im- proved by having more interest from the teachers as well as the students. Having the parties oftener would help a great deal. Then I caught Bob Wolting and Kenny Kieser dashing upstairs and they agreed unanimously That we cut out -the circle dances, not have plan special entertainment, and II ladies choice so often and leave outI the bingo, so that more fellows will dance. And by all means, theyI said, have more to eat. - 3-O-3- The army-navy game was a bit, surprising. It seemed as though it would be a much closer game due to the fact both teams were un- defeated.

' RESPECT OUR BOOKS Many of the students are having trouble locating books that seem to have been lost, strayed or stolen. Many of us are very careless: when we see a book or a piece of paper we just give it a kick and forget about it. The way these books start flying around are: One student who seems books to be in a hurry just piles his on his desk and goes innocently on his way. The next fellow, likewise in a hurry, hits the desk and plop!! The books are neatly sprawled on the floor. So just a little precaution from each fellow will help the situation. A. L. S.

Pat Bradley invited Bob to have a tug- o-war so as to pull a pipe loose, but no ducks . Don Thompson had to turn his tuba upside down to see if anyone had lost belongings in the top as it sounded as bad as Glee club tryouts. I I I I I An argument was also held be-I tween Alan Sheppard and Dick W de to see whose drumsticks were' a the best, they tested the drumsticks by throwing the sticks on the floor and seeing whose bounced the high- est. In the meantime, the clarinet play- ers sat there licking the cracked reeds, as if they were all day suck- ers, and the trombones frantically worked their slides to find no oil available.

ZZ it Elaine Bender Elaine Bender, of medium height, brown hair and brown eyes is an- other senior of WSHS. In her spare time she enjoys playing the piano while the rest of the time is taken up with American government, typ- ing II, bookkeeping and English IV. Red is very appealing to this senior in any shade as is any kind of food made of chocolate. The movie, Meet Me in St. Louis,,, was really sumpthin' altho there are many others which run close to it in this girl's estimation. Bicycling is Elaine's favorite sport and her favorite personality must have a good sense of humor and be polite. She is undecided as yet what she will do after high school but sup- poses she will work. John Swenson Agricultural minded John Swen- sen, states that farming is his hob- by so is it any wonder that Ag. hap- pens to be his favorite subject out of journalism, English IV, economics and agriculture. To John, apple pie shines, but no hint of spinach or carrots. Not giving all his time to farming he finds time for recreation, too. Skiing is a very interesting sport and the movie National Velvet was tops. Blue is his favorite color. John plans to go into the army after graduation, but he will still have farming in mind.

It is one of the most charm- ing stories Dickens gave us. Writ- ten for the Christmas of 1842, it has forever touched the hearts of men with a personal kindness. After denouncing Christmas as being humbug, Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly, grumpy man proceeded home. Shortly afterwards he was visited by the ghost of his late part- ner Marley, who had been dead for seven years. Marley informed him that if he valued his future hap- piness he must pay heed to what he would be shown by the spirits of Christmas, who were coming to visit him. The Ghost of Christmas Past showed Scrogge his old master, Fez- ziwig, making everybody happy at Christmas. Scrooge even saw him- self as a happy young man. Old Scrooge was then taken to the home of his clerk, Bob Cratchit, where he was shown happiness and good will. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come showed Scrooge at his death, which was a cause of happiness for many. After Scrooge, the miser, had been visited by the spirits of Christmas, he was utterly changed from a miser into a kind-hearted old man. Pre- tending to be angry at Cratchit on Boxing day for coming in late, he playfully dug him in the ribs, saying he would punish him by raising his wages. Thus the spirit of good-will is breathed into this loyal Christmas story. 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 l 1 1 I 1 1 1 Hille.

I 1- A ' '1 CHRISTMAS m la I Throughout the years many dif-I ferent Christmases have presented various different views and customs. But as a whole it is easy to see that this, the greatest of memorials, is still remaining, with its true tradi- tion and spirit. We all enjoy the merry event and carry its festivities forward by giv- ing gifts as a token of remembrance for the original day. It seems that everyone, including those who oc- cupy foreign lands far and near, have some reason to continue this belief. Since this is the first Christmas in four years that we have not been engaged in some terrible war, we should be able to make this Christ- mas a more successful affair and by this recreate its whole purpose.

Darlene Peterson: I spent some time visiting in Mitchell. Willard Snyder: I did a little of everything-hunting, working and staying at home. Betty Krog: I spent my time slav- ing away over a dishpanf' Mrs. Kearton: 'tMary and Jose- phine were home so I spent my time visiting. Mr. Wing: Christmas day found me in Sioux Falls with my sister. The rest of vacation. I visited my brothers in Minneapolis. I take it everyone's in a good mood. I noticed a whole string of volunteers doing K.P. I wonder if that show was really good. I have been requested to add a lit- tle after thought. I have been told 'that two senior boys were in a lit- tle accident.

At 8:30 Wessington Springs en- countered Lane and defeated her by a score of 45-32, The first half was quite close, but Wessington Springs gained the lead early in the last half and never lost it. At 1:30 on Saturday Artesian lost to Alpena. Wessington Springs played Let- Cher at 2:30 Saturday. This was a good game, especially during the first half, but Letcher won out by a score of 45-32. This was also the first time that Wessington Springs and Letcher had played each other this season. Wessington Springs and Artesian played the consolation game, which the former won easily by 37-14.

COOPERATION Cooperation as a technical expres- sion has a very broad definition, but is usually expressed as the rela- tionship of persons who try to work together for a successful ending. With this definition in mind, we may understand how this applies to the various phases of school life.- Such as the sports division, where cooperation is carried on not only by the fellows on the floor but also by the students, both in pep squads and in the audience. The faculty and the students can do a much better job if both are co- operating. The staff must work to- gether to complete the paper and finally the annual. There are times when every stu- dent must cooperateg therefore, this nakes cooperation a necessity. I News In A Nutshell I By Phyllis Wood .. .. - .Q Chester Bowles, head of the OPA, has been spending his time trying to keep prices down. He hasn't had any cooperation from Scyder, recon- version director, or Caskie Collet, economic stabilizer, who have push- ed prices higher with a new price for steel. It seems that the only solution for the meat packer's strike is a one-half cent a pound raise in the price of meat sold to UNRRA, the army and navy. Bowles intends tc. set a ceiling price for cotton, and, if he succeeds, the senators from the cotton states may refuse to renew his price controls when they expire June 30th. The bill for the army-navy mer- ger may be ready in about six weeks. The navy still opposes the merger and has presented a plan in which the army, navy and air forces shall all be tied in at the top under the National Security council. The ar- my is quite sure of its plan for an outright merger since it has gained the backing of President Truman. The State department has an- nrunced the Export-Import bank had lent twenty-five million dollars to Greece. The explanation for such a loan was that Greece could not sta- bilize without money, and some- thing needed to be done to help ease the tense political situation, but the way things are going it didn't seem to contribute to recovery. :rg I l U WITTY-WITS l I By Wickre I I I Flash--Boy hits girl and knocks out five teeth Con his comb, silly.D How many liked the little green ribbons on the Lane cheerleaders' uniforms?

I'll betcha Haddorff got a good grade in government. Did you hear about his taking Mr. Memmer's place as sixth period study hall teacher Monday?

M iss Lorna Meyer I I I , The Bookshelf 'j By Mary Lou Anton I I I i I 1 Many new novels and non-fiction lbooks have recently been added to Your Public Library. Among these is The Black Rose by Thomas B. Cutain. This exciting, as well as historical novel, moves from England after the crusades to the Orient or Bublai Khan. After Walter of Curnie, the son on the Earl of Lessford, became in- volved in the Oxford riots of 1278, he left college and sailed east to the Mongal empire. He had left be- hind him the lovely Lady Engaine, but had taken with him his best friend, Tristam Griffen. Tristam and Griffen arranged a plan to see Kublai Khan's great general. Presents were sent to the Khan by a powerful merchant, which included a harem of beauties. A- mong them was Maryam, the daught- 'er of an English crusader and Gre- cian woman. Both Englishmen fell deeply in love with her and thus helped her to escape. Walter was tortured for his part in the escape, but later met Maryam and married her. They were sep- arated in escaping, whereas Walter and Tristam made their homeward tourney to England. As years pas- sed and no word was received from Maryam, Walter again returned to his first love, Engaine. This double love of Walter furnish- ed a stirring and dramatic turning point of the narrative. The vivid descriptions furnish the reader with an actual life picture of the Mid- dle Ages. I do hope Alpena isn't disappoint- cd in losing the championship game to Letcher. After all, Letcher was worn-out when they started.

WATER SYSTEM REPAIRED IN LAST FEW WEEKS During the last few Weeks, the water system throughout the whole building has been slowly deteriorat- ing, and there has also been a possi- bility that the basement would be flooded. With the help of a plumber, our efficient custodian immediately took care of the situation by replacing seventy feet or more of the old pipe. Spanish classes are beginning their projectsg for their first pro- ject they are making Mexican dolls. The St. Patricks day tallies have been mimeographed and sent in to the Red Cross. Margaret Wayb- rights' pattern was chosen for the stencil. FIRST CONFERENCE DEFEAT OF SEASON The Spartans were defeated by the Forestburg Buccaneers in the Spar- tan's first conference loss of this season.

ATTENDANCE Attendance may seem a jovial thing to some of us, but actual rec- oi ds have proved that in only a few classes have honor roll students mis- sed more than three days of school. These facts show us that the more satisfactory work is done by students attending classes. A new system of getting make-up slips, in all cases except sickness, is being enforced, whether or not this will solve the problem remains to be seen, but it seems the only Way out. Those students expecting to go out of town or who are forced to miss school for some other reason should see their advisor and have their work in. With this system, we should be able to maintain a higher scholastic standing. Let's all cooperate with the teach- ers and make the last half year of '46 at W.S.H.S. a successful one as far as attendance is concerned. P.L.P. I l I WITTY-WITS By Wickre I l l Well, I've heard everything now. You know what I mean-The game with Forestburg. I guess it was too cold and our boys got stiff jointed. Could be. There's a certain cute freshman girl who is out to get Dean Chris- tensen. Better be on your toes, Dean. Report cards are out again. Some of the kids had to brush up on for- gery. I heard Myron Kleppin going around asking how to spell George. I wonder why?? Could it have some connection with his dad, George Kleppin? You cant' say the sophomores are cheap skates. They furnished a. party to the whole school. It was even completed with eats. It seems that nearly everyone wants to be a business man or wo- man. The Business English class had 85 applications. Congratulations to Doctor Pat Pin- ard for a very unsuccessful operation on patient Betty Wickre. I find but one fault. Why didn't you knife her ir the first place, Pat?? I'll bet that Bulldog could guess iermine Wheeler's weight with ease. He held her all the way over to For- cstburg Friday. Will the person who took off with my column stretcher please return it? I am running short of words. Second Grade: Vernon Miller enrolled from White Lake. In social studies the new unit is clothing. Cotton and how it grows is being studied. I OUR MIGHTY SENIORS , I By Zilpha Shoff I Henry Schrader A big pan of popcorn, a good book and an easy chair by the radio is the hobby of this Week's mighty senior boy, Henry, or Hank Schraeder. When not reading a book, he en- joys hunting or fishing very much- especially when the fish or game are plentiful. Besides popcorn, he can eat any- thing, but steak is what he can eat the most of. Although he hasn't been too many places he finds the most interesting place to be right here at homeg he finds brown and blue to be his fav- orite colors. V Henry hasn't seen any favorite show, but he likes shows like Son of Lassief' Mushy ones are abso- lutely the 'bunkf' Strange as it may seem, he likes romantic songs, or songs that are hot and have swing. As yet he hasn't decided what he will do when he is graduated, but it will probably have something to do with farming. One of the things Hank hasn't de- cided yet is whether or not to be a bachelor. Mary Swanson Blue eyed, medium sized and sweet tempered, is redheaded Mary Swan- son, our Homecoming Queen for 1945-'46. Even though films were and are very scarce since the beginning of World War II, Mary's hobby is col- lecting snapshots. Personality, sporty clothes and good looks are the characteristics she likes to see in boys. Most generally known as Billi', she finds Donald O'Conner and Peg- gy Ryan her favorite actors, and as for food, any kind will do. Aside from bookkeeping, English IV, typing and economics, Bill is busy with glee club, staff and band. As far as on-looking is concerned basketball is her favprite sport. Because they are becoming and she prefers them, Mary often wears blue and brown. Although she is undecided as yet, Mary will probably go to college. Leanna Thompson She lives west of town, is short, small and dark, and is one of our cheerleaders. You're right, it's Leanna Thompson, better known as 'Rabbitf' People who get mad at the least little thing one says or people that steal Bill and her car and don't return it, really make her angry. You Came Along will readily soften her mood, however. Rabbit enjoys rollerskating and biking, and blue appeals to her also. Her ideal boy is of medium height, is a sporty dresser, has a good per- sonalitv, is full of fun and has smiles for everyone that would reach for a thousand miles. Aside from cheerleading, Leanna finds time for bookkeeping, eco- DAY DREAMING Isn't it odd what people day dream about? I have often wondered what other people's dreams are so I de- cided ,to inquire around and find out. They say that curiosity kill- ed the cat, but in this case it paid to be curious!! I found that people dream of trips abroad clear down to American history class! Rosellen Lindstedt told me this- HI usually day dream about senior privileges that are coming up this spring. Maybe I could even skip a day and go to Sioux Falls, or may- be just stay home and sleep, to catch up after the night before. I found out that Peachie Hem- 1'nelman's favorite dream is about the next American history class. Herb Wickre says his choice dream is that of the day when school is out and before that time the tournament at Woonsocketf' About this time I spied Shirley Knigge and she said- Oh, wonder- ing what tomorrow will be like. I often wonder that myself! I usually start day dreaming when I get on the line of music and then start wondering what will be in store for the rest of the day and night. Sometimes, y'know, fun- ny things happen at the dorm, es- pecially in our room! came from Beverly Hein. Mrs. Greener, after second thought decided hers was That stockings would soon be available. While in the senior room, Fayne Fitzgerald sat there studying so hard I couldn't resist bohtering him, so I popped the question to him. He looked at me rather oddly, so I fin- ally said, Don't you ever dream of anything funny? Then he quickly said, Kenneth Kieserf' Hm, I could dream about him myself!! Mrs. Hoerner's day dream is to travel the Orient and the South Sea Isles by plane. Miss Meyer's turned out to be similar as she hopes to take a trip to Europe and visit homes of the great literary men and the composers. Now, after reading these. your dreams don't sound quite so foolish, do they? Y'know, everybody can day dream, even me!

After displaying the same type of good ball handling and skill- ful playing, which has been so suc- cessful for them this season, the Spartans became unlucky in the last few minutes of the game. The Spar- tans were ahead in all the quarters of the game until the latter part of the fourth quarter when Letcher brought the score closer by sinking a free shot and then making a bask- et the very last thing. Bob Winegarden tossed in the first 3 points of the game and from then on the Spartans held the lead until the last few minutes. The half end- ed with a score of 15-10 and the final score was 22-21.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE SUFFERS SETBACK School attendance suffered a ser- ious setback this nine weeks, large- ly because of the epidemic of flu that struck here at Thanksgiving time. The senior class alone was able to improve its record-againg in average daily attendance, they improved it one per cent. In im- proving their attendanve they mov- ed from fourth place to second place. The freshmen continue to lead but by a much narrower margin.

W I SPORTSMANSHIP Sportsmanship is one of the most important qualities of a school. This is a thing that cannot be taught in the class room, but must be learned outside of school. It is a mark of good breeding that is noticed by ev- eryone. To be able to win and yet not let it go to your headv is very important, but it is even more im- portant to be able to lose like a good sport. The thing that I am trying to say is this: As you all probably know by now, some damage was inflicted on the school buses of the Letcher team. This may or may not have been the work of some high school student, but it is our duty to show the persons who did such a thing that it is not thought of as a very smart thing to do. The team that Dlayed here were our guests, and they should have been treated as such. As a whole the sportsmanship at the games themselves has been very good, but this thing has marred the record. So let's all of us start from the beginning and see-if we can do better. ALS --:-Q:-.-- H- I I I The Bookshelf I I By Mary Lou Anton I I I I Don Wickenden has presented an extraordinary descerning novel a- bout an American family in The Wavfarersf' Although an outstanding news- paper man, Norris Bryant, in his world of grief and desolation, had proved a failure as a father. Norris was left with four children at the death of his wife, Laura, ten years before. ' The thread binding Norris to his two oldest children had thinned, un- til now, correspondence had even dwindled between them. Charlie was married. and the father of a son, while Laurette sang at a night club to supplement her meagre salary. The two younger children, who were still at home, were as strang- ers to Norris. Jill was thirteen and Patricia nineteen. Troubles were ev- en threatening Patricia, who had fal- len for a talented young Lochinvar from the East. The wisdom and tact of a neigh- bor, Betty Lou Hanburg, greatly in- fluenced Norris in the solution of his problems. Two former novels of Wickenden have been highly' successful. They are The Running of the Deer and Walk Like a Mortal. Trigonometry class is working with the tangent and sine of an angle. Biology classes are studying ani- mals and plants of the past and future. English II class are finishing oral book reports. They are studying the pluralizing of words and the top- ic and sentence outline in grammar. I I I I News In A Nutshell I I By Phyllis Wood I I I I Now that scientists have succeed- ed in contacting the moon with ra- dar we may be finding out some new and surprising things. Fred L. Whipple, a Harvard astronomer, thinks Einstein may have to re- tract a theory or two. According to Einsteinis theory of relativity, the velocity of light is not variableg a few people believe that this theory may be disproved by measuring the time it takes a radar echo to come back from the moon and comparing that time to the time taken by light waves to make the same journey. Radar contact has tremendous pos- sibilities and findings made by it may prove very interesting. Frances Case, South Dakota re- presentative, has introduced a bill in the House which absolutely for- bids strikes. Drew Pearson predict- ed it would be passed by the House within the next two days, but would be torn apart in the Senate. The provisions of this bill are very harsh, but they certainly would curb inflation. The Labor party in England is concentrating on repealing the ban on general and political strikes. It also favors the passage of national- ization of coal, civil aviation, over- seas cable and radio, telegraph ser- vices and inland transportation. If such a bill were passed, labor would be just where it wants to be. To fix things even better they plan to pass a Bigger Workman's Com- pensation bill and a capital Invest- ment bill providing for the super- vision of all private investment by the government. The question is, Will the Tories be able to keep Labor in check?

For actors, he likes most any of them that play their part well, but prefers Judy Garland, Robert Walker and Van Johnson. Favorite songs are Till The End of Time'l and Sypmhony.

New month made official! Monday morning Mr. Memmer, af- ter taking notice that the calendar still read January very gallantly took a chair, carried it to the front of the senior assembly and prepared to change the calendar to the right month. Everyone held their breath as he stepped up on the chair, and slowly- began to tear off the sheet bearing January , then-presto' There was February! Sighs of re- lief were audibly heard as our prin- cipal stepped back to the floor with no mishaps. He sedately picked up the chair and put it back in its place with a smug look on his face. It took us a while to decide why he looked so satisfied, then our final decision was made. It was his good deed for the day. From then on, I took notice to see how many other members of our fair school did their good deeds for the day. Alan Sheppard was the first person I noticed. He very kindly Hhashed things over with Burchfield, thus making it possible for Burch to concentrate on study- ing. Now I consider that a good deed, don't you. Dick Wade graciously,C?D allowed Mrs. Hoerner to destroy his comic book so that he could spend his time studying more digestible material! Mrs. Hoernerikindly made it pos- sible for Palmer to finish drawing his picture by sending him to the study hall from American history class in order that he could draw it in peace. Donald Thompson got soft-hearted and lent Haddorff his physics ques- tions so that Richard could get an idea as how to do his. It seems to be getting to be a habit with the freshman boys to escort some of the Uupperclass women up-4 stairs and actually offer to carry their books-sometimes!! Herb Wickre.

This more familiar March of Dimes carried to the far corners of the states, gives everyone their chance to forward the efforts by contributing their nickels and dimes in various drives. By now you have all undoubtedly invested in the small containers which are placed at the business es- tablishments for the purpose of col- lecting the small change which is so plentiful. The money brought in from this drive is distributed be- tween the county and various other departments when it is needed. We must all remember that we could be the next victim, placing ourselves in an unfortunate condition it is far easier to give. So, when the drive comes to a close, letls support our late presi- dent, and make this 'tMarch of Dimes more successful than ever. -1-so-Q-i H- I I I The Bookshelf I I By Mary Lou Anton I I I I Mary Roberts Rinehart has pre- sented her greatest mystery novel to us in The Yellow Room. Recuperating from a leg Wound, Major Jerry Dane was not entirely satisfied with the summer colony at Crestview. It was not that he was yearning for his former job in the F.B.l. or the excitement of war, but he was just restless. Dane, then became involved in the settlement of a murder. He assisted Police Inspector Floyd to identify a dead body found in Carol Spencer's closet. A charred and badly dis- figured body was found in the linen closet of the yellow room. Carol Spencer became involved in the net of inscriminating circum- stances, when the dead woman in- quired for her in town. Jerry also took an active part in the plot by discovering influencing evidence as well as falling madly in love with Carol. Love and humor are intermingled in this daring murder mystery.

SCHOOL PARTIES This week marks another of our monthly parties, which, as is cus- tomary, will be sponsored by one class. The freshman class, who has willingly consented to do their part to make this school party a success, will be in charge, but it is not only for the freshmen, but for members of the other classes also. Before the origin of school parties, it seemed the students last and only demand. Each and everyone was willing to cooperate to the full- est extent. Now it seems the stu- dents have forgotten their undying plea and have resumed the idea that school parties are not as entertaining as other things, and thereby find things to do instead of supporting the party. True, the party might conflict with numerous other appointments, but as a rule everyone should be interested enough in school parties to postpone the other appointments, or if a majority desired the date could be changed. If everyone would make up their minds to the fact that school parties are the best entertainment obtain- able and then come with the idea that they were going to have an en- joyable evening, I am sure the par- ties would be successful. I I I WITTY-WITS I I By Wickre I I I I Howdy fellow grievers-too bad, isn't it? But it's better Letcher beat the tournament than Alpena. No hard feeling against Alpena or anything, but I still would rather see them lose. Here is a question brought before the public: Why do Alpena's cheer- leaders have hearts on their uni- forms? Hm! Could be they think they're sweet. CNo comment on an- swerb. The great basketball team, the Scoopers, had their first practice game and first loss the other night at the college! The score was 44-16. During one of the games Friday, who should walk in but one of last year's teachers, Mr. Franklin. He was greeted by the students.

Although she does not plan to ride a bicycle, it is her favorite sport, with the exception of girls' basketball. When I asked her her most embar- rassing moment, she said, That would be embarrassing to put on paper. So we shall probably never know.

The love of power has potentially destroyed Hank Martin. In the backland hills and marshes of Mag- nolia State we find himwith a ped- lar's bundle on his back, but with a driving ambition for success. Deeply enrooted in his heart is his love for Verity, a young teacher. Verity al- so realizes her love for Hank. The climax of this personal drama is unforgettable. Hank's shrewd knowledge of mankind drives him to many fearful deeds which you will pity. Verity's faithfulness and loveliness will command your ad- miration throughout.

News In A Nutshell I By Phyllis wood I I I I When Harold Ickes, before the 'Senate, charged Ed Pauley with an attempt at political bribery, things started happening. This accusation left Truman with two choices: either to get after Ickes, or to withdraw the nomination of Pauley as under secretary of the Navy. He decided to get after Ickes and Ickes resigned saying that the President's friends resented keenly the fact. . .and I told the truth. In connection with the nomination of Pauley for under secretary of the Navy, it was re- orted Democratic senators were told not to go to the Senate if they couldn't vote for Ed Pauley. What is Russia up to? Judging from reports issued from Canada, she is after the secret of atomic energy. To be more specific, she seems to be interested in obtaining enough scientific data to start a plant for the manufacture of fus- ionable materials, similar to the Canadian operated plant in Ontario. Drew Pearson predicts Russia Will invade Turkey sometime in April. It looks as if the UNO had better be on its toes. It is not in the least encouraging Ito hear the reports going around about fascism in Argentina. If it gets a good start there, there is no telling what will happen next. It will make things very unhandy for the U.S. when it comes to making Pan-American agreements. lq.,-o..-.- Fourth Grade- George Peck treated the class to angel food cake Friday in honor of his birthday.

As is the custom, each class are selling votes for their candidates for prince and princess. This is a very good policy, as it not only creates a friendly rivalry in- terest betwen the classes, but it al- so gives everyone of the students a chance to try out his or her luck as a high-pressure salesman. This sort of salesmanship gives the classes a chance to show their patriotism to their candidates. A thermometer on the bulletin board in the main hall tells the royal forecastg as more votes are sold the temperature rises. Let's see which class can make it the hottest for the others!

PATRICICS DAY Although the many stories told about Saint Patrick are little more than legendary, his feast day, March 17, is celebrated all over the world, wherever the Irish have penetrated. The favorite legend is the one of his driving the snakes out of Ireland. It is truly a great man who found all Ireland heathen and left it all Chris- tian. The shamrock, the national em- blem of Irleand, is believed to have been planted by Patrick himself and is represented by a white clover with its leaves- of blue-green color and each made up of three leaflets. The traditional Waring of the green is not so customary as it used to be, but we still see many Irish who don green to celebrate the feast day of this great saint. The fact remains that he is ac- tually of Scottish decent and not Irich so we can hardly trace the Irish temper back to St. Patrick.

It may start a civil war in China, which we were trying to avoid when we told Russia we did not favor the presence of her troops in Manchuria. It might be we complained to soon. Speaking of Russia, it brings to mind Senator Vandenberg's com- ments on the situation. Vandenberg believes harmony between the U.S. and Russia is possible if the U. S. will be as open and frank as Russia and will uphold all her policies as Russia does. If we were to follow this plan it might be a sure cure for isolationism, which may get a firm hold on us unless we are exception- ally.carefu1.

It is a grand, sweeping saga of love, life and adventure along the banks of the Mississippi River. Battles with Huey Long around the Louisiana capitol are exciting, but this novel is not merely a pag- eant of the South. The superb love story of Gervais d'Alvery and Merry Randall proves entrancing. When they met aboard the dance boat River Queen it- was love at first sight. Gervais, heir to the d'Alvery fortune, defies his family ire to marry the penniless Merry. The whilwind courtship proved the talk of the town. Gervais brought his bride to Belle Heloise, the star- ied, secret-ridden d'Alvery's house.

Did you notice that King Kieser got Richard's crown on straight this time? The evening ended after a draw- ing of door prizes and everyone journeyed homeward, or at least journeyed. DORM DITTIES By Arlene Kraft Angel food cake and icecream! Can anyone think of a better com-- bination? Thursday night Mr. Wing called for volunteers. He got plenty of them to. Then amid a great deal of hustle and bustle the girls made the cake and ice cream while the boys froze the ice cream. Am I mis- taken, or was that Twig Younie slav- ing over some cooking of some sort? Maybe he was just trying to show the girls up. Some boys had some spoons too. Of course, there's a suitable explanation for everything. Everyone had to taste the results. I assure you though, there was plenty of ice cream and cake left. because everyone enjoyed good homemade ice cream and angel food cake at the carnival Friday night. Even the waitresses and the chefs who served the ice cream were vol- unteers. I'm sure the dorm had a very successful Coffee Shop.

He said that it is up to the younger generations to settle the conflicts which the present rul- ing generation has not been able to do. Ward Miller, professor of botany at South Dakota State College, was also a guest performer working ma- gic much to the amazement of the audience.

The Red Army prepared fake battles in Manchuria. In the Atlan- tic the U.S. Navy has prepared to go to work, and the Air Forces in the Pacific were also prepared. It looks as though very little faith is being placed in the UNO for protec- tion. Could it be World problems would not be so acute if the UNO were better organized? Churchill's plea for combining the forces of the U.S. and Britain did not go over too well with the Ameri- can people. Some felt it would make Russia too suspicious, and that she may leave the UNO flat. Due to appearances the F world knows very little about what is hap- pening inside Spain. It is true Spain could be bluffing, but there is also the chance she could be up to some- thing which may not be of help to democracy. 4 ' Mr. Wilbur Peterson Teaching English III and IV and also conducting instrumental and vocal groups is Mr. Peterson.

KEEP OFF THE GRASS With the annual Spring drawing nearer, and the usual amount of showers, we must resort to the fa- miliar old slogan Keep off the Grass. Although the grass will seem far greener, and the distance so much shorter, we must remember that the shortest way is not always the sweetest way and thereby tread the long and steady sidewalk. After all it is much better when the school year has ended to be able to look at the nice green lawn that doesn't have paths leading away from every door. So again, as before, let's remem- ber this with the understanding that we will keep off the grass. G.S.B. - I I I The Bookshelf I I By Mary Lou Anton I I I I The first novel of Frank Yerby is The Foxes of Harroww which char- acterizes the riotous life of New Orleans in the early frontier days. Stephen Fox, upon arriving in New Orleans in 1925, was bent upon adventure. Ambition to own a large plantation prompted him to work like a slave to achieve this goal. By careful saving he was able to build a magnificent estate that he called Harrow. His bold tactics finally won for him Adalie Arceneaux, the loveliest girl in New Orleans. There was little warmth in Adalie's nature for Stephen. To Stephen married life seemed a failure, and thus he spent more and more of his time in the sinful city of New Orleans. It was at New Orleans that he met Desiree, whom he greatly admired. To Tante Caleen, Stephen's negro slave, the marriage of Stephen and Adalie seemed a crumbled ruin be- cause of Desiree. It was Caleen who helped to solve the problems of Adalie. This exciting romance by Yerby includes many thrilling experiences, which will entrance you throughout your reading.

And not only this, but a few more days of extra cleaning for our valiant janitor, namely Swede. I'1l bet he appre- ciates that . But, towards that end of the week, we find a light shining that will change our view on life, that will brighten everything and awaken us from the sleepy repose in which we have been reclining. Well! Imagine me using all those lo-o-ong words. I must have swallowed that diction- ary that disappeared from the school library-anyway, you've been held in suspense long enough-that bright light shining at the end of the week is CCan you take ith Thursday, the first day of Spring!

Just what does spring mean to us anyway? To many of us it means that it wonyt be long until we can get the faithful rod and reel down from its hook and oil it up and try our luck at the art of fishing, but it should mean more to us than that. It should mean that school will be out before long and that means some thing else again. Yearly projects. Yes, those headaches that we spend hours and hours on and write and rewrite and finally success, the pro- ject is done, but that isn't all, you get one done only to find two or three more staring you in the face. Now, yes, right now, is the time to start to think about such things. You may ask, Whats the use of starting those things now when we have a whole nine weeks to do them in? Well, you see, it's this way- Later on there will be other things to occupy our minds besides projects. There will be the senior play, the music festival, spring vacation and finally, for the juniors and seniors, there will be the prom. The object of this is not to nag as it may seem, but merely to inform you of what is ahead of us. ALS lil H I WITTY-WITS 1 1 By Wickre H- I Howdy!! I'm Wickre. Now you can all cheer.

Most of us at one time or another have heard or read of the inability of the U. S. to absorb the returning veterans of the first World War satisfactorily. The present situation is somewhat better, but the housing problem seems to be causing a lot of veterans considerable trouble. When Truman put Bradley at the head of the Veterans Administration every- thing seemd to run smoothly. Al- most everyone realizes that the re- turning veterans must be taken care of and it must be done right if we are to maintain our present position among the nations of the world. The UNO is no longer headed for the rocks. It seems evident that Rus- sia will play along for sometime as she is in no position to go to war, as yet.

DORM DITTIES By Arlme Kraft Can you imagine seven hundred pancakes stacked up all at one time? According to reliable reports, stu- dents at the dormitory sat down to such a breakfast last Friday. It all started at 6:00 o'clock in the morning when several boys, still groggv and tired, were called by Mr. Wing. They soon woke up to the fact that they were helping the cooks with breakfast. I assure you that everyone enjoyed the pancakes. Bubble gum is back again! Al- though I was one of the unlucky ones Cnot having any myself! I saw the many results. You can blow bubbles with it, you can chew it, but best of all it is such a reliable substance that is can be used for self-defense. It can also be set as a trap by being strung across doors and windows! One learns some- thing new every day!

Profits From Carnival Distributed To Groups Profits from the 1946 carnival have been distributed among the various, high school organizations as follows: jMusic. S753 athletics, S503 F.F.A., S105 Home Ec Club, S102 and dormi-3 tory recreation, 330. The balance. of approximately 5370, goes to the general fund where it is used for a great variety of purposes, such as Ideclamation, assembly programs, u Spartonian',, school parties, upkeep of the projection and recording equipment, the purchase of library books and any worthy expenditure for which no funds are provided. FUTURE FARMERS VARY ACTIVITIES Activities of the local F.F.A. are centered around a program of work which consists of eight committees with the goals and accomplishments of each. With this program of work, the chapter has entered a National chapter contest. The chapter purchased two pure- bred boars with which they hoped to build up the herds of the agricul- tural boys and farmers of the com- munity. The officers of the chapter have presented an informative pro- gram for the Kiwanis and an as- sembly program for the student body. The local chapter has contributed a number of state farmers, at the present time the chapter has one state officer and one district officer. George Krog is state F.F.A treasur- er and Bernard Madden is district vice-president. Having been discontinued during the year, a state judging contest will be held again this year. The chapter hopes to send a number of boys to Brookings to participate. These boys will judge dairy cattle, poultry, eggs, cream, crops, meat. farm mechanics and all livestock. The chapter hopes to acquire a sweepstake award with a number of excellent and superior awards. This year the chapter's group pro- ject of twelve acres ,of oats netted about 3250. The chapter has op- erated a trading post bulletin where the boys who have products for sale or products which they wish to buy have them listed. Members in the armed forces are recognized by the chapter's service flag. It has a total of 78 stars, which includes four gold stars. This year the chapter has had the agency for the Sokota hybrid seed corn. The chapter has sold a total of 82 bushels. The chapter operated a lunch stand at the countv fair. from which a fair sum was netted. This vear the boys in the agricul- tural department have a total of 1428 acres of crops, 40 pork animals. 103 beef, 1200 chickens, 107 sheep and 23 turkeys. Last year the mem- bers made over S8000-net profit on their projects. It is the purpose of the F.F.A. to stimulate in its members leadership and those qualities which every cit- izen should possess. Through ,their activities they hope to give. aid to the farmers and better their com- munity in every way possible. l MUSIC FESTIVAL As the annual music festival draws near, we as students should realize a responsibility not .only in chorus, but as members of a student body who are acting as hosts or hostesses for the visiting schools. It is up to the entire student body to look out for the building and to make it a place that is clean and tidy in all re- spects at all times. Do you realize what it means to those visiting students or even how it appears to you to come into a school building that is cluttered or slightly untidy? With such condi- tions prevailing, We could expect visitors to condemn our school and not wish to return. With the full cooperation of each member of the student body it seems that this festival can definitely be a success. GSB ABSENCE OF SENIORS Friday, April 5, was a day of ex- treme pleasure to the lower class- men land womenb of W.S.H.S. for- CI can hardly wait to tell youb the entire senior class was gone! To- gether with Mr. Memmer and Mr. Gadda, these dear CD friends of ours and this yearls graduates journeyed to Huron for the Senior Planning Dayf' But, as I understsand it, some of the kids didn't go for this reason only! Ahem. Perhaps you've been wondering why those four girls have been wearing ear-rings since then. Well, it all adds up to the fact that they simply had their ears pierced while un there. I hear Zip nearly fainted during the process, or was it after- wards? Thanks to the seniors being gone, the faculty decided that we, too, needed a vacation so school was dis- missed at 3:30. Friday proved to be quite a day despite the absence of the seniors. P.S. I hear certain senior fellows went along only because they heard that Absence make the heart row fonder.

Not only is the title intriguing, but the play itself is one of the most exciting and ab- sorbing stories ever to be presented by the senior class. The performances will be in the high school auditorium on May 3. One performance will be held in the afternoon for the students of the pub- lic schools and one at night for the public. Arthur Jearue, often called one of the most prolific playwrights in the nation, wrote Crackup. The play was released recently by North- western Press of Minneapolis, which quarantees it as being one of the most beautiful plays that Mr. Jearue has ever written. The story is timely, although it, does not contain any of the gruesomel angles of war. It has a touch of a romance in it when the story in- volves a girl who is crippled on her wedding day. Throughout all this runs a sub-plot that affords many thrilling minutes and tears. It is about the downfall of a young man and his heroic regeneration when the happiness of someone he loves: is at stake. This play is truly a masterpiece. GITAHEY EWS First Grade: Lola Jane Hasz treated the class to cup cakes, peanuts and Easter eggs on her birthday. Nancy Peck brought her birthday cake Friday. Gary Bradley was absent because of chicken pox. Donnie Christensen, Nancy Peck and Iva Bauer have chicken pox. Two of the groups are beginning their first grade reader this week.

Alice Fildes and Donald Roberts won in arithmetic contest This is an original poem by Benita Hume: My Dog Once I had a little dog, He jumped like a frog, He was all brown And he ran away to town. He had a funny face, But he would not stay in place. He was always jumping around. THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1946 l l m Q 1945-'46 FACULTY 1 l l l Wilbur Brown Released from the U. S.

NUMBER TWENTY-NINE FESTIVAL PROVES A HUGE SUCCESS A Music Festival was held at Wessington Springs High School on Friday, April 12. Because there has been a shortage of music teachers, the majority of schools felt unpre- pared to participate in a music con- test. At the festival the selections were not judged as a group, but individul- ly, each school receiving criticism from the judges, Mr. Byron Parks, and Mr. Loftus H. Ward. The afternoon program was held at 1:30 and included the following groups: The Boy's Glee Clubs from Forestburg, White Lake, Alpena, Woonsocket and Wessington Springsg the Girl's Glee Clubs from Artesian, Plankinton, Wessington Springs, White Lake, Forestburg, Alpena, Letcher and Woonsocket, and the Bands from Lane, Woonsocket, Al- pena, Wessington Springs, Letcher, White Lake and Plankinton.

I l I Some people don't fully understand their meaning, but everyone should agree that after going to school for twelve years the students deserve to be let out of study halls for the last six weeks. This year it seems to be a great asset to W.S.H.S. Not only does it teach under-classmen to shift for themselves and get along without the guidance and leadership of the mighty seniors, but it stipulates bus- ines down town. All in all it is a pretty good tra- dition by which everyone profits-. except the seniors-they have to spend some of their spare time in getting their lessons so they won't have their senior privileges taken away from them.

When something seems to ail my friends, And they wonder to and fro, A puzzled look upon their face, It must be love, you know. This little poem is dedicated to all lovelorns at the dorm. I would like to ask some of the girls how fishing is? Or didn't you get far enough in that boat to find out? Did you get wet? For those of you who are in a daze some girls took a boat ride. Marvelous-but the boat was on the top of a car. Two boys visited from Platte last Friday. There's a mystery about it though, because no one knows their names. They will be long remem- bered for the way they can balance flapjacks. The noise was deafening in one dormitory room the other night. I wonder who screamed the loudest?

Sheppard says that there were a lot of kids that called him by name on Friday, and that he didn't know them from Adam. Oh, well, if they think that much of a guy it's just as well he didn't know them. The Star Spangled Banner is a good song, but if you sat back by the drum it sounded more like The Star Spangled Bangerf' .

Laura Ingalls Wilden has written many books in which she has told her own life story in fiction form. The last of this series is entitled These Happy Golden Years. Laura, not yet sixteen, teaches school, thus leading a very lonely, dismal life. On Friday there is no hope of going home through the snow. But just as she is dismissing school the air is filled with the chim- ing of sleigh bells. Alamonzo Wil- den has come to take her home. Seven dreary weeks are spent teaching, but the thought of helping to keep Mary in college spurs her on. Mary, who is blind, is learning much, it seems as though she can see again. After moving to a new claim Laura receives her second-grade certificate. She obtains a better teaching position and with her mon- ey buys an organ for Mary. The following summer Laura re- ceives an engagement ring from Almaonzo and in the fall they were married.

The town described is a typical Pennsylvania town in the early 1880's. The entire novel revolves around Doctor Dan Field and his love for Pris Albright, wife of his best friend. She was always uppermost in his thoughts even though he tried al- ways to speak and to act towards her in the most professional way. Dan had served as doctor when Pris' four children were born. He also served as doctor when baby George was dying. Always he remembered Pris' smile of happiness. It was a great wonder of the people of Willowspring that the doctor, a bachelor, maintained a large co- lonial house. In the large house was one room no one ever slept in- Dan and reserved this for no one but EASTER VACATION Did the Easter Bunny make his an- nual visit to all you good fellows and gals? I hear that some of the very dignified C??D students of our fair school get up so 0 o o early Sunday morning to see if the bunny had ac- tually remembered them again this year. Tsk! Tsk! . With Easter comes vacation and so we were dismissed on Thursday. But it appears that not only some of the students, but members of the faculty as well, were not sufficiently recovered from the holiday to come to school, for come Monday morning two teachers failed to appear and by afternoon three were absent. I also happened to notice that someone still had the Easter siprit to- day for they had picked a beautiful CPD bouquet of flowers and used the upstairs water fountain for a vase. Sometimes I wonder, and then again I don't know! Y'know I'm beginnig to doubt whether some people will ever grow up, anyway mentally. When asked what Easter meant to him, one of our Senior boys answered promptly, 'The Easter rabbit' That does it. I think you've had enough corn for one time, so yours until next Easter!

Fourth Grade: Ronald Jensen was absent all week due to illness. Pencil drawings are being worked on in art class. History booklets was finished this week. After the Easter egg hunt on the 'lawn a party was held also and out- door games were played. THE END With the approach of the end of school, it is the natural tendency to stop working, and just relax. When this happens the natural things happen, the grades take what is commonly referred to as a nose- dive. Grades are very important not only because they are needed to pass but because they are valuable in life afterwards. Many business firms write back for information, and the Army and Navy often write back for references when the applicant is applying for a special training school. So with this in mind, let's buckle down and work these last few Weeks of the school year. .slggq-i 7' OUR MIGHTY SENIORS 'Q I By Zilpha Shoff 1 Lyle Will Tall, brown haired, brown eyed and coming from Gann Valley is Lyle Will. To most everyone in W.S.H.S. he is known as Wort. His hobbies are fishing and hunt- ing and his favorite radio program is Gang Busters. In the line of shows, Wort doesn't care anything for those crazy mushy ones, but he did like Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. , His pet peeve is silly girls, so one might guess that-his ideal girl is quiet. ' After his graduation Lyle plans to farm in the Valley. Bernice Lillehaug .Although she has red hair, Bernice Lillehaug does not possess a temper. Having to study for tests during senior privileges is this senior's pet peeve. English IV, Typing II, bookkeeping and economics keep Bernice busy. In her spare time she enjoys cherry pie a la mode. She enjoys rollerskating as a sport. When asked her most embarrasing moment, she said she had many, but they would all be too embarrassing to tell. Bernice's favorite color is any shade of blue. The qualities she likes in boys are personality and friendship. She has not decided as to what she will do after graduation. Josephine Schroeder Josephine Schroeder more often known as Jo , is our last mighty Senior for this week. Jo's favorite color is green, and her favorite foods are icecream and T-bone steak. Her subjects are Trig, Business English, chemistry and English IV. She also takes Phys. Ed. She has no favorite songs, but likes them all. Her ideal man must be a gentle- man above all else-other than that, he must be tall, wth blond wavy By Phyllis Wood Because people are starving in Europe and Asia, Argentine just a- bout has the world where she wants it. Argentine seems to have been causing trouble in one Way or an- other ever since the Second World War started. The fact that she did not break relations with the Axis until January 26, 1944, caused many of the American people to feel that Argentine is still a Pro-axis and Fascist government. Now that Juan Peron has been elected the new president, against the wishes of the U. S. people have been wondering why we don't punish her by discon- tinuing to trade with her, but ii so happens she may export many of the same products we do and finds a very ready market in Europe at the pre- sent. If the present situation con- tinues, Argentine may be able to gain many things in her favor be- cause of her exports, which are so vitally needed in Europe and Asia. Continuing the subject of exports and imports, it is intersting to know that while Truman and Secretary of State, Byrnes still favors Cordell Hull's fewer and fewer trade bar- riers, they have supposedly post- poned a meeting to establish an In- dustrial Trade Organization until af- ter the November elections. If this is so, the establishment of such an organization is a year or more away, meanwhile leaving the nations of the world to settle back and establish prewar trade barriers. The U.S. is not the only nation to blameg Bri- tain and Russia have made no effort to look to the UNO for advice where trade is concerned. ----q- fi., ... hair and blue or gray eyes.

MAY 6 TO MARK DATE OF BANTQUET Junior boys and girls are seen working industriously at all sorts of things and my, how secretive? It so happens that the juniors are spon- soring a Junior-Senior banquet in honor of the Mighty Seniors, to occur on Monday, May 6, at 6:00 p.m. A general committee was selected 'by the class to do the main planning. They were Hermine Wheeler, Bev- erley Knight, Clair Tiede and Harold Hotchkiss.

J UNIOR-SEN IOR BANQUET What is a bauquet? Many defini- tions are given for this. In our case a banquet is a time for fun and friv- olity. There is work in preparing a banquet, but with true co-operation from each member of our class why should we fail to succeed in portray- ing a good school spirit in every re- spect and in turning this work into an enjoyable task? This banquet is given by we jun- iors as a jesture of farewell to the senior class in an attempt to give them a last pleasant memory to car- ry with them in the future. A beautiful scene and properties add a great deal to a banquet, and if everyone goes with determination to pass his spirits on to his neigh- bor, he will doubtless enjoy himself. Then our banquet of '46 will have achieved its purpose in full. ' B.J.K. AFFECTIMENESS of SPRING Flash!! April 23-Red letter day for certain senior girls. This lovely spring weather we've been having has proved too great a lure for some of the female mem- bers of this year's graduating class, so, on Tuesday, April 23, 1946, a few of the six went for a dip in the local swimming pool, modestly at- tired in this year's new bathing suits. A r-ruf life, they tell me. This spring weather is even work- ing its magic on Sheppard. I just can't believe it, but it must be true. Saturday he arose from his nightly C?J slumbers at approximately twelve o'clock noon, Cjust in time for din- nerb. Then he mowed the lawn, re- paired the roof and dug dandelions. Moral of this story: The day after the night before isn't as bad as you think. As usual, Valverndale is the main attraction for the fellows this year. We hear that a group of sophomores went camping up there one night last week. I wonder what they though when, on going back to this so-called camping site towards the wee hours of the morning, they saw their tent waiting to be set up again. CPlease note, I said AGAIND. Illl give you three guesses as to why everyone is so sleepy on Tues- day and Friday mornings. Just a little hint: It isn't spring affect- ing them. I- I I I The Bookshelf I I By Mary Lou Anton I I I I Dog stories hold numerous in- teresting episodes for many of us. The story of two outlaws is the theme of Spike by Jack O'Brien. Spike, an outlaw dog, beaten and mistreated by man, took to the woods as the means of existence. Dan Kink also fled to the logging town of Swift River . Here he escaped from the injustice of man. It was J. P. Schwartz who was responsible for the financial ruin of Dan's father. Hatred raged in Dan's heart for this man. By Phyllis Wood Many of the Republican senators are attempting to obtain what they term a moderate program of ex- tending price controls. Senator Taft, a Republican from Ohio, has report- ed that they are trying to avoid ir- responsible last minute amend- ments, but are running into opposi- tion even in their own party. Points of view run all the way from a com- plete abolishment of OPA to a con- tinuance of the present program.- The new French constitution which is to be submitted to the French peo- ple for approval or rejection is in general all power to the parties, framed mostly by a Socialist-Com- munist combination. A single Na- tional assembly will exercise legis- lative and judicial powers. The Na- tional assembly will be elected by popular vote and will sit for five years unless dissolved by govern- ment or parliamentary crises. All men and women over twenty will be allowed to vote. Both the President and Premier will be chosen by the assembly. -The preceeding were just a few of the main points of the con- stitution. If it is rejected the French people will elect a new assembly to prepare a new version. algo-1--.- U n .- 7' oua MIGHTY szmons 'I I By ziipha shoff .. u .. n H .- Gladys Leischner Gladys Leischner has blue eyes and brown hair.

First they estimated the number of cal- ories they eat on a normal day. Then on another day they limited themselves from 1000 to 1500 cal- ories, which is the amount of calor- ies eaten per day in much of Europe. Most students were of the opinion that they couldn't survive for a long time on this amount. Typical com- ments were: I didn't mind , Felt eally hungry at mealtime and Felt better than if I'd eaten three square meals . Girls of the group thought it more adequate than the boys. Many boys used up their calories al- lotment for breakfast and had to eat very little the rest of the day. Nat- urally, they felt they were on a starvation diet. h t .

Bernard Madden, president of the senior class, spoke of the stem of the plant. The branches were taken care of by Miss Lorna Meyer and the leaves by Francis Nelson. Mr. Asa Memmer spoke about the flower, fol- lowed by George Krog, student body president, who concluded with the pod.

Certain people may pick one of the 193 stars and say, 'tThere, that one is my son. Or it may be their brother, sister, or sweetheart. Yet certain people will look at the stars with tears in their eyes. They are looking at the gold stars which sig- nify that this serviceman has paid the highest tribute to his country. There are eight of these gold stars. they are: Wallace Churchill, Ray- mond Schmierer, Philip Romig, Rob- ert Palmer, Donald Kleppin, Paul Fildes, Ivan Kieser, Howard Kopke. The student council, upon sug- gestion of Superintendent Holland, has decided to prepare some mem- orial for these men. They are or- dering trees which will be named and planted on the school grounds. I am sure there is no better idea than this, for it is a living memorial of men who had their lives taken from them. ' C.L.T. BANQUET GOSSIP If you were a looker-oner at this year's junior-senior banquet, here are some of the amusing things you might have seen: The little Negro couple sitting at the north end of the gym. Really they were only two dummies, but this bright remark was made by one of the guests, Which senior couple is that? Guess that was a little too corny. Mebbe we'd better get on with the story. Did you ever see a Negro with blonde hair or one with Calmostb red hair and freckles? Well, it so hap- pened that there was one of each type serving at the banquet. If you havenit guessed who they are, it's Ruth Ann and Rodney. Did you notice Haddorff, Thomp- son and Winegarden dashing up town to get a lunch after the ban- quet. It wasn't that they didn't get enough to eat, it was simply that they were displaying their Emily Post etiquette. E Haddorff felt so flattered when Hermine told that joke about his be- ing a member of the chemistry class. He may be a mad scientist' but he's not in chemistry! Ahem! Who stole the seating arrangement that we spent so many of our prec- ious hours working on? It defintely is a mystery and we're wondering if a certain senior fellow or maybe a junior didn't have something to do with it, for his own benefit, of course. Anyway. let's hope that next year's juniors will enjoy sponsoring the banquet as much as we did. DORM DITTIES By Arlene Kraft There are many stages in making a pie.

Jack Armstrong is her favorite ra- dio program, with the Lone Ranger running a close second. Roy Rogers and Humphrey Bogart are her fav- orite actors. The song Zip likes best is The Gypsy and the most wonderful show she has ever seen was Phap- sody in Blue. . -..Q-,g.. .. English I class are completing' their workbooks.

FAREWELL Another school year has come to a close, and the Spartonian has gone to press. With it has gone much time given freely and willingly by the staff, as they put the life of their school on paper. It has been a pleas- ure to work with such a staff. I wish to express my thanks to the editors, Alan Sheppard, Pat Pinard and Glenn -Burchfield for their un- tiring efforts, and to the remainder of the staff, for their persistent loy- alty. I also wish to thank Mr. Tamblyn and Mr. Webb for their pa- tience in printing our paper. It is with confidence that we turn over the responsibilities of next yearis Spartonian to the new staff and its capable editors-Phyllis Wood, Clair Tiede and Beverley Knight. -Miss Meyer COMMEN CEMENT Commencement is, quite often, one of the greatest moments in the life of a high school senior. Usually he looks forward to graduation all through the four years of high school and then when the 'time actually comes he is a bit reluctant to leave. When a student thinks back over his school days, all the good times had during school hours and at af- fairs connected with school stand out. Sometimes it is not memories alone that make him hesitateg often he is afraid of not finding his place in the world, although this fear is not so common as it was a few years back. The school system throughout America is such that it prepares each individual that he may be able to accept every problem and solve it for himself. Students who have chosen a certain profession, usually with the help of one of the faculty members, and are planning to con- tinue their eclucation, are becoming more numerous. Whether he is go- ing on to college or is going directly out into the world to seek his for- tune, he can be thankful for the thorough training which has been provided for him ever since he start- ed to school. P.W. SENIOB-S15-P DAY Br r ing, Ho, hum.-Four o'clock. Oh, well. I'll turn over and sleep another fifteen minutes. Holy smokes gotta be at the school by five. This was one of the excerpts in the wee- wee hours of Thursday morning nrior to the enjoyable trip to Sioux Falls-anyway, trip. Of course, with seven in Art's model A one could hardly expect a joy ride. All this preparation was not need- ed for Wort as he was out of bed at 5:20. We were all off for a merry time at 5:30, and except for a couple flat tires nothing drastic happened on the way down. The packing plant was visited and also the school for the deaf. In the afternoon a tour of Sioux Falls was conducted. After that the class was turned loose to spend the rest of the I- I I I I I 1 The Bookshelf 3 WITTY-WITS 5 j By Mary Lou Anton I f By Wickre i I I I I- I I Another interesting dog story is Silver Chief, Dog of the North, by Jack O'Brien. Silver Chief is the owner of all the lovable, human traits and char- acteristics that are to be found in every dog. The son of a husky mother and a wolf father, Silver Chief is taught to stalk for food and beware of man. After witnessing the killing of his mother, he hates mankind. Sergeant Jim Thorne of the Ca- nadian Northwest Mounted Police takes up winter quarters in Silver Chief's hunting grounds while on a hunt for a half-breed murder sus- pect. He determines to capture Sil.. ver Chief and make him leader of his huskies. Finally a devoted friendship grows up between Thorne and the dog. While on the hunt for the murd- erer, Thorne is hurt. However, Sil- ver Chief captures the half-breed. With the aid of Silver Chief, Thorne compels the prisoner to carry out his wishes and then all start on the long trip back. Interesting reading is furnished for you in this novel. The details of the rugged adventure through the snow and home are fascinating. UP AND DOWN OUR HALLS What would happen?

If all the Beverly's were called Beverly? f If Snooks had curly hair? If you saw Kenny without Gladys? If Fayne didn't have something to say? If Burchfield and Harold didn't have their freckles. If we had perfect attendance in all the classes for one day? If Beaner didn't say Howdy ? If George didn't have his Model A? If the junior class had a good pia- nist among its members?

Well, here I am again, for the last time this year. I see where I am to write a special column again next year, so I'll probably see you around. I see that the juniors are jealous of the seniors. When the seniors went on a skip day the juniors de- cided they'd go to. I think the sen- iors had better things waiting for them when they returned than the juniors, though. How does Superintendent Holland ever keep rules in school? I hear that a certain party of kids met him going the wrong way on a one way road. Tsk-Tsk. I hear three sophomore boys went hitchhiking Sunday, more fun!- Woody says that she read this some place: Apple pie without cheese, is like a kiss without a squeeze. Q I want to thank all of you for put- ting up with this torture column during the year. Quoting from the song titles, because of your patience and fortitude, I'll plant you now and dig you later.
