INSIDE Sept. 7- The morning after -Labor Day! Freckles, sun- burns, and afternoon swims fade into the background as textbooks and program cards gain prominence. It's the last time that we'll join the hubbub of that First Day. No matter how much we regret it now, it will be on our hit parade of memories. ' Sept. 8-Regular classes begin, and even the Seniors are in a fog. But where IS the civics room? is the plaintive cry gf tilislzo lost lassies, while everyone wonders over these small ros . Sept. 10-With the smell of autumn thick over the field and with excitement sharpened keen, our football season was officially whistled in-against our arch rivals, Decatur. Crum practically played the game by herself, and we were con- stantly hounded by our camera fiend-Wasson. But even so, a zero-zero score stared us in the face at the final gun. Sept. 24-A drizzle straggled our hair and our feet dangled in mud puddles, but our spirits were high-even after that crowded bus ride over. The fellows splashed through the rain to a 13-0 victory over South Side! Sept. 27-This would have been the start of Street Fair, but did Mr. Park HAVE to bring it up? Watrous and Strain missed the Glamour Girls this year-poor boys. Oct. 15-Long, tear-stained faces dotted the corridors as Aunt Bess, after thirty-four years of being a grand sport, a friend to all, and a top-notch teacher, starts a new career in a home of her very own, cooking those wonderful meals for her own man. She was a part of our school life, she will remain a part of our thoughts. Oct. 19-More long faces. Are these the new Victory report cards? Look like the same old grades to me! Oct. 29-Football has been going on, and still McElderry keeps going out! He can get hurt more than ten people, it seems. Tonight Huntington fans received a jolt as we mauled them 20-0. It 'was our last game-and top honors go to Harnish as high scorer of the season and to Zoll who was chosen captain. Nov. 5-Fame and fortune came to the Seniors tonight with the presentation of Western Union, Please. Evelyn Knox simply walked away with the show as the deaf old Aunt Aurora, who was too forgetful to turn on the electricity in her sonotone batteries. Woodward literally brought the ceiling down, both with his exaggerated slapstick and with his two-gun salute to the departed Danny. Broke all previous records on attendance! Nov. 9LThe lettermen turn out to see Tootie Schwartz off for his Navy training, as Zirnmy looks tearfully on. It's really bringing things close home when a well-liked, fun- loving Junior sets out to do his share! Nov. 12-Our Indiana sport takes the spotlight, as the Tigers show Portland how basketball is played. Mary Lou and Bobbie came disguised. Come on, gals-we know you're behind those sun glasses! Nov. 21-- Schlotzhauer Day brings out the giggles and groans as all the Seniors blossom out in white shirts and ties. A grand march to school behind a bass drum and the drill calls of'Sgt. Woodward bring them all on the scene together. Vive-la Dutch! Nov. 25-A convocation paved the way for our Thanksgiving Vacation, and this fun-loving, juke-box crowd turned serious. A prayer swelled up from our hearts-a prayer for peace. Dec. 3-The girls grab the check tonite, the reverse playl' goes into actiong the G. R. show the fellows how' to entertain! Worthman ad libs herself out of this world as the record player stubbornly refuses to run, but the crowd dances on. A few touchy ones disliked the crunch of the carrots and celeryg still Schlotzhauer ate on. Dec. 8-The old redhead pulls up his stakes to get something done, and Buroker takes up his new job as Mayor of the Byron boys. Meanwhile all of us gals will have to Hnd a new rastlin ' partner! - Page Thirty
