AQ!! ag When day is done cmd the school doors are closed, one of the most popu- lar hangouts is Shain's, alias the Lodge. There are cokes and sodas to wet those dry whistles. There are sandwiches to satisfy the hunger of those who have starved for three whole hours. There is the lounge, consisting of one booth that causes a stampede every night. Most important of all there are the pop- ular magazines and newspapers. Of course they have the Post, Popular Me- chanics, News, Times, and'Free Press, all in the Scotch edition but it seems that the most popular with Ted Herbst, Andy Burlingame, Dick Adams, Dick Groves, Bud Gasser, and Frank Min- ninger is the Birmingham Eccentric. Oh you loyal, loyal girls! We'll never forget those games of bridge while our men played football, practiced basket- ball, or rehearsed for the Quartet. We had fun, though, talking about next weekend and discussing the fun of the previous Saturday night dance or Teen Canteen. The bridge table was really an excuse for a good gossip session. We never did play much bridge, but we did have fun. Mary Kay Smith, Franny Mead, Rip Van Winkle, and Donnie Helgeson are typical examples of the way many of us that go steady spend our Saturday afternoons and after-school. While our steadies are out earning recognition in some ac- tivity, we sit. Remember the basketball dance, honoring this year's letter winners? Wasn't it fun? The winners must have felt high and mighty, but I guess they deserved it. The dance was one of the two big ones sponsored by the Student Congress this year. The decorations were clever and the orchestra super. A few patrons were caught by the flash, tripping the light fantastic. They are Dan Grigg, Lewis Booth, Bob King. Mary Ann Rainey, Bill Sproull, Mary Quinn, Marty Fox, and Iohn Bones.

Wasn't that Spanish dinner novel? Something new and different to make our Spanish class more fascinating. We learned some of the Spanish customs and attempted to carry them out at the dinner. We can't forget the way we tried so hard to converse in Spanish. We didn't do so well. If one person couldn't speak Spanish, the other could hardly understand. But we did have fun. Pat Higbie, Eleanore Ellis, Nancy Ball and Chuck Adams are a few of the class that enjoyed the ARROZ CON POLLO, irice with chickenl in the Spanish atmosphere. That was one dinner that will never be forgotten. .95 lone Will you ever forget the Hallowe'en dance at the Community House? Re- member how we sat on the floor picking the dry corn kernels away from the cob and having a regular corn fight? Remember the spooky decorations, the low lights, and the heavenly music? Here you were protected from the witch in your date's arms as he complimented your dancing. Then suddenly you landed on a kernel and, boom, there you were on the floor! Iane Breiten- stein, Bruce Robb, Mary Io La Tourette, and Earl Iagger had the right idea to save embarrassment. They sat on the floor waiting for the kernel victims to join them. M- -'-- 'a E 111 'Q 11 Going home is such fun for us who go on the Walnut Lake bus. In the first place we have at least a 20 minute ride twice a day. That's more than most of you get since the gas rationing. We'll never forget the fun we have going to and from school. On our way home we talk over and laugh at the different incidents that occurred in school. We get to be such wonderful friends. When the bus comes, everyone takes his time getting on. Ray Homer, Dick Riemer, lack Goodwin, Iackie Peluso, Hugh Whitmer and Emma Young are the last stragglers to get on the bus. Then we're ready to start home. -BARBARA FOX.
