The Visitors in Action Sporting Events of 1945 Athletics at Bush during 1944 and '45 were hailed with great enthusiasm by all the classes. lluring the first semester gym classes and after school sports flourished under Mrs. Newport. Then Mrs. VVestlund took over for the latter half of the year in the same spirit. To start the year off was a ping-pong tournament. The victor was Mae- Jeanne Peterson who vanquished Joan Frayn with little trouble. Following on the heels of this was a badminton doubles tournament. After a tough scrap Anne Johnston and joan Frayn finally conquered Midi Sawyer and llebbie Allen. The most anticipated sport at Bush is basketball. Practice games were begun shortly after Thanksgiving and lasted until Christmas vacation. Starting in january, inter-class games were played. There were several close battles that were extremely interesting to watch. For the most part the higher grades beat the lower. However, the sophomores upset the apple cart by beating the juniors, and almost defeating the seniors. The biggest event for the year was the l7acl's Dinner April 3 at which the seniors fought the sophomores for the championship. The seniors, who had tucked away two basketball victories, were out for a third, and although the sophomores did their best to prevent it, achieved this goal, The most fun, however, came at the half. lloffing their coats and donning their tennis shoes, the llads took the floor to give battle to the seniors, The Dads, of course, had to play girls' rules which was slightly confusing. Several of the men insisted on dribbling the length of the gym and then shooting. NVhen they could get their hands on the ball fit was not too oftenl the seniors tried to make baskets, but sad to say, they were not very successful. After a wild but thrilling game, the llads came out on top with a score of 24 to 14. Following the basketball tournament was supposed to have been a baseball tournament. However, the problem of scraping ten girls per class together for a team was very difficult, and besides the general concensus of opinion was that the weather was too warm for good games anyway. lnstead everyone wishing to play baseball Cand get a tan in the proccssl played scrub. The last tournaments of the year were in badminton and tennis. The winners of these clashes were announced Class Day. Class llay the silver sports' plaque was awarded to the sophomores, who had won the most tournaments and had the best representation at after-school sports.

FORECAST YOUR OWN WEATHER THE WEATHER AND THE LAW In China the law regulates everything. Even ladies must dress according to the statute. No man must dare to notice the varieties of temperature before his superiors. The governor of a province lets its inhabitants know when it is cold enough for a change of costume, and when the signal is given by these functionaries, all China puts on its winter dress. WEATHER WISDOM The following are a few of the old saws relating to the weather which abounds in Great Britain, namely: A rainbow in the morning When you see a gossamer flying, Gives the shepherd warriirtgn Be sure the air is drying, HA rainbow at 'flight U When black snails cross your path, I5 the Shepllefdys dellght- Black clouds much moisture hath. If the moon shows like a silver shield, Be not afraid to reap your field. Ulf the cock goes crowing to bed, llwhfn fl'-'3 Pfflfofli loudly b!1Wl5, He'll certainly rise with a watery head. Soon we'll have both rain and squallsf' SIGNS OF RAIN The air, when dry, I believe, refracts more red or heatfmaking rays, and as dry air is not perfectly transparent, they are again reflected in the horizon. I have generally observed a coppery or yellow sunset to foretell rain, but as an indication of wet weather approaching, nothing is more certain than a halo around the moon, which is produced by the precipitated water, and the larger the circle, the nearer the clouds, and consequently the more ready to fall. 'Evening red, next morning gray, Are certain signs of a beautiful day. WINDS Wind from the east-bad for man and for beast, Wind from the south is too hor for them bothg Wind from the north is of very little worth, Wind from the west is the softest and best. CLOUDS When you wish to know what the weather is to be, go out and select the smallest cloud you can see, keep your eye upon it, and if it decreases and disappears, it shows a state of the air which will be sure to be followed by fair weather, but if it increases, you may as well take your great coat with you, if you are going from home, for falling weather will not be far off. The reason is this: when the air is becoming charged with electricity, youimill see every cloud attracting all less ones towards it, till it gathers into a shower. And, on the contrary, when this fluid is passing off, or diff fusing itself, even a large cloud will be seen breaking to pieces and dissolving. -Locke Amsdcn 4. SKY COLORS Red evening portends fair weather-unless spread too far upward from the horizon in which case expect wind or rain or both. Sea green tinge in rainy weather means more rain-deep blue calls for showers. Haziness over the sun or moon-a sun white at setting or going into a bank of clouds-foretells bad weather. A pale dim moon means rain. A red moon means wind. Yellow or gold sun-with purple streaks at sunset-all will be fine. A red predominant in the rainbow means rain or wind, orange for raing yellow for dry weatherg green for raing blue for fine weatherg purple for wind and raing and violet for fine weather. 0 O C: O wi ,.....,-...,,..,...., V..-l
