I'll never make it to May. and when's payday? ’ ■ ' October — Who will I ask to Sadie Hawkins, and how much money do I have to spend on a shirt? November— Well, basketball season is here again, but it’s too bad I can’t make the practices because of the FFA Convention in Kansas City! December—I'hope Santa comes early with a date for Homecoming—I need someone to Stand By Me!” January —Although it took 20 years, we are once again the Vermilion Coun- ty Basketball Champs! February — My precious sweetheart better remember Valentine’s Day with lots of Valograms, candy, and roses, or that two-timing rat will never see tomorrow! March —Now that Mr. Wise is gone on one of his famous “trips, we can really enjoy school. April — People are meeting themselves coming and going—the Wizard of Oz” is coming to ATHS, and the FHA is going to Springfield.
