C 0 MIM E N T S lr. Shofstall's sense of co-operation was impressed vividly when he was a senior in high school. He and a friend were in Literature IV class, and the teacher asked one of the lads to read an essay. The two husky boys were on the basketball team and had a peculiar dislike for essays, So much was their dislike that young Shofstall inquired, nWho's gonna make us read it?' The hair of the literature teacher raised visibly. In no uncertain terms the boys were told to leave the class until they decided to do better. While waiting outside, the boys found a couple of bricks with which they began playing catch. After a time, one of the bricks 'accidentallyn flew through the window into the Literature IV room. It was im ediately following that the lesson in co-operation in- sued. Although Hrs. Lewis has spent most of her life out of Missouri, two most important events concerning her life have taken place in Harrison- ville--she was born there, and she was married there. While traveling along the East coast last sum er, Hrs. Lewis and her companion decided to dress as college co-eds with sloppy-Joe sweaters et cetera--the idea being to hide their identity as teachers. Before the first day ended, the driver of the bus asked if they weren't school 'marms'. Recently Mrs. Lewis was keeping study hall and maintaining strict order. Hearing some buzzing about the room, she told whoever it was to please be quiet and stop disturbing the room. Looking up, she saw, much to her surprise, that Miss Palmer was the one talking to the girl. Besides School 1288-Ching, Mr. Mace has had a newspaper career. For fif- teen years he did everything from delivering to editorial writing. Mr. Mace's most embarrassing moment came when he was in junior high. His class was putting on a play in which he was to take the leading role. In one scene of the play the cast dressed in formal clothes. Mr. Mace was wearing a 'tux' which didn't fit quite so well around the waist. To remedy this, he had pinned his trousers to his shirt. The play was a huge success,and finally the big moment came when Mr. Mace rose to give his speech. Mr. Mace stood up, but his pants remained seated. A more recent trouser trouble came a short time ago in boy's physical educat- ion. Mr. Mace was demonstration a strenous exercise, and as he stooped over the seam of his trousers gave way completely. Class was resumed about ten minutes later. Miss Mary Sullivan attended high school at Glasgow from 1955-37. Having taught there at that time,Mr.Shofsta1l reports that she was the wildest kid in school. But by the way he winked and smiled, we gather that this is the least bit exaggerated. In fact,he later said that there would be fewer gray-haired teachers if all pupils were as nice as Mary. One of Miss Sullivan's greatest thrills came when she heard Tommy Dorsey play in the Panther Room in Chicago. we predict a thrill in the near future that will over-shadow this one, however. The crystal gazer might see a tall, lanky man, with a matrimonial look in his eye, heading for Blue Springs, in general, and for Miss Sullivan, in particular. lr. Miller might be called a jack of all trades, for he has done almost everything from church janitor work to dish washing. But because he is a musician, here his trouble lay. Once he went to a music contest with his girl friend. He was to play a trombone solo, but he had been look- ing at his girl friend, and when he started to play he could not remem- ber his piece. A few seasons back when 'Daddynwas so popular, Mr Miller sang the song in front of the band. This wasn't bad, but he happened to be clad in a three-cornered sorong. B -
