Many students have been known to dream about it at night. Therefore, no one can blame a student if it becomes a habit and is carried through to his other activities. When one par- ticular person was being bawled out for being late to class he re- plied: Well, you've drilled me so thoroughly about never watching the clock lure at school that I've lost the habit at home. 'l'ltr'rc nrt' In mr' turn lrirzrls of guys .-tnri only two that I rIw.vpisr', 'l'l1r' first l'1I really! like to slum- 'I'hf' fury who copies my !'.1'tl1lI.

The Xl'.N.A.'s tNVe're No Angelsi, a group ef Amundsen girls, has been in existence for twenty-three years. That would make the clubs' birthday in 1933. Mrs. Essie Bloom Albrecht, Mrs. Bernice Bloom Ehlert, Mrs. Esther Albreacth Hayward, Mrs. Betty Gates Meier, Miss Charlotte Gates, Mrs. Mildred Euler Albrecht, Mrs. Jeanette Miller Rentsch, Mrs. Mil- dred Johnson Oswald, Mrs. Mar- jorie Hessler lioll, Mrs. Evelyn Newberg Tarpey, Mrs. Shirley Gal- lagher lsaccson, and Mrs. Betty Spoonainore Ahl, are the present members. The club still meets once a month but they don't talk about boyfriends anymore. The conversation tends more toward children, knitting, and church business. On their yearly agenda is a mother and daughters banquet. an outing to be held this year at the Conrad Hilton Boulevard Room, and charity work in veterans hos- pitals. STUDENTS TAKE Over 100 Chicagoland high schools were represented at the Atomic En- ergy Exhibition at Navy Pier. Sep- tember Z7. At l0 a.m. Mr. George Lobenger, from Westinghouse Cor- poration, introduced Dr. Erie: Walker. president of Penn State. His speech was on Infinite Horizons of Sci- ence. This subiect well suited Walker. who is vice president of President Eisenhower's committee of scientists and engineers. The lecture dealt with the four main requirements of scientific progress: l. proper political and social climate, 2. materials, 3. en- ergy, 4, scientists and engineers. Walker believes that the only problem in this country is the lack of skilled personnel. He went on to say that we cannot continue this rapid advance of progress with- out nicn and women to carry on the research. Following this, Mr. Burditz, of the Chicago Junior Chamber of Commerce, introduced Dr. Law- rence Hafstad. He is a graduate ol' the University of Minnesota and John Hopkins Vniversity and or- ganizer of the CJCC Reaction De- velopnient. Certified Photo Supplies 1949 LAVVRENCE AVENUE LO 1-7029 EVERYTHING PHOTOGRAPHIC GREETING CARDS i Fire Prevention Skit Highlights Assembly Hnnnmin--The result of faulty wiring was the verdict of Judge Otto Becker when the drama 2 class brought its cases to court, On October ll, a number of amusing skits were presented at a fire pre- vention assembly. The scene was a court room where different types of fire hazards were tried. Such things as faulty wiring, smoking. oily rags, kitchen care- lessness. cleaning fluids, bonfires, and a forest fire were called to the attention ot' the judge by Clerk Jerry Minzhor. The crimes were enacted by the remaining members of the drama class. The play was written by the drama 2 class and the members auditioned for the different parts under the direction of Miss Marion l'hilbricli. Pat Wittlinger was m.c. of the program. ltr. C. K. Anderson said a few words on the importance of maintaining an orderly fire drill. As a grand finale, the cheerlead- ers put t'orth with a few vigorous cheers. ATOMIC TOUR He spoke on cconoiuics and its relationship to science and engi- neering and the need t'or more system analysis. A box lunch was served at noon. The final talk was given by ltr. Fredrick Hovde, president of Pur- due llniqersity. He spoke on the requirements ot' an engineer, which amounted to as uvrch nrath and science as one had the opportunity of taking. He marked that an rn- gineering school was fine. Init a t'ew years in a good liberal arts college was well worth the time, A tour of the exhibits ended the fair.

CURNER By Omie Daniels The best musical TV program this season is the Vic Damone Show whose format delights and soothes. This is Damone's voice and casual personality at its best, with Camarata's superb orchestration backing him up. The different female vocalists which appear with Vic have, so far, been well chosen and with fingers crossed, let's hope The Vic Damone Show continues its fine quality. No Time For Sergeantsj' the hilarious new comedy now playing at the Erlanger Theatre, has been seen by many drama and pubilc speaking students who have returned singing its praises. I believe too little interest is taken in the legitimate theatre by teenagers who are losing out on a lot of good entertainment. The reception of the new record Love Me Tender, by Elvis Presley, should prove inter- estingg you can actually hear the words, tune, and his voice. This revelation has proven that his voice isn't as bad or worthless as it has been claimed to be. In fact, he sings rather well. In looking over a list of the top twenty tunes, I could not bring myself to admit that I liked any of them. This is a sad case because I be- lieve disc jockeys have been forcing some tunes on the public by plugging them repeatedly. Something different, a list of records not to listen to or buy: Pink Cadillac, by Rusty Draper, You Don't Mind Dying, by the Jay- hawks g Smokestack and Lightning, by the Howling Wolfg and Dear Elvis by Audrey. 1 Working May Add Money Or Hinder Studies All students in high school are faced with the problem of whether or not to get a part- time job. There is no set answer to this ques- tiong it depends entirely on the individual. A part-time job is certainly beneficial to a teenager. It gives him self-confidence, work experience, helps him to think for himself, teaches responsibility, and gives him experi- ence in meeting people. Also, nothing is so rewarding as having money you earned your- self. Its value is much greater than if it were handed to you by your parents. If you are only an average or slightly below average student, and have a great deal of homework, and need to devote much time to your studies, it is best for you not to work. The extra money you made would not be worth the poor grades you would receive in school. However, you may have a high scholastic record and enough free time in which to work. Maybe you would like to earn money which you can use to pay your high school expenses, or else save for college, or your future. In this case, part time work is the answer to your problem. Trip to the Continent Gives Student Views On European Countries By Sandy Erikson A month usually goes by quite slowly when you're doing everyday things, but this last month seemed to go by in no time at all. This was probably because I was having such a wonderful time. This fall I was lucky enough to travel through Europe and it was an unforgettable experience. Our first stop was Scotland and the minute we stepped off the plane it was quite obvious that we were in Europe. I don't know if it is that old world charm or the strangeness of the customs of the countries, but they certainly were unfamiliar to me. I suppose I felt the most at home in London because I could understand what they were talking about. But in France and Italy it was absolutely hopeless. Despite the talk of how wonderful Paris is, l was very disillusioned. The scenery was very nice I suppose, but the people seemed to be very unconcerned about anybody else but them- selves except where money ls concerned. How- ever we did meet a very cute family on the train in France. They couldn't speak a word of English nor we a word of French, but we managed to talk all afternoon by just using a French-English dictionary and a few motions. We stayed in Scandinavia the longest, visiting relatives and friends, but all in all I enjoyed my stay in Rome the best because the people were great and the city itself was very inter- esting. You never realize how much you miss your home until you leave for awhile. I'm surely glad to be back. SUDDEN THOUGHT Money isn't everything but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place. LOOK! LOOK! DON'T PUSH Look, look! says Jane, See all the boys and girls trying to get on the bus. Oh, oh! says Dick, See all the boys and girls pushing and shoving while trying to get on the bus. Oh, look! says Jane, See how dlscourteous they are while trying to get on the bus. Oh, oh! Look and see how the bus driver sticks his head out of the window and yells and pleads for mercy from all the discourteous children, says Dick. See how Dick and Jane get on the bus. Oh, oh! Look, look! We do not push or shove. We know that is kid's stuff. If you do decide to apply for a job, it should not be for too many hours a day. Even the most brilliant of students require some time for studying. Also, budget your time in such a way that you get an adequate amount of rec- reation.
