ESE at 5 -f wg. X31 35152. As we See il SABOTAGE IN DENMARK Hans quietly sped through the dark alleysg suddenly he stopped shorty he had sighted a Nazi patrol. nThose Nazi swine,n muttered Hans, as he waited for them to go past. Two, three minutes passed before Hans dared to continue his journey,then heslip- ped out onto the main street of Kopenhagen and dodged in and out of doorways to es- cape detection. Once he heard some one scream, he looked about to see if he was being Rjlow- ed. NSome poor devil being questioned by the Gestapo,N thought Hans. It was a cool July night and he made good timeg it wasn't long before he was U fore a house with drawn shutters. He quietly slipped to the door, and making sure no one was around, he knocked: two, pause, one, pause, then four knocks. A long pause,then the door opened a crack, a voice asked, nwho is it?n 'Libre Dansk,n replied Hans. The door opened wider and revealed a rough, bearded man, who said, UCome in, be quick before a patrol comes along.n Hans slid through the opening, into a dark room. The bearded man took him by the arm and led him through a room where he opened a door, and motioned Hans to descend. Hans went down ten steps and was in a little room where four other people were seated around a table where a candle stuck in a bottle was burning. Before them were maps of German held shipyards, factories, and docks. There was quite a contrast between Hans and the other men. Hans was small compact, speedy, but thin. The other men were like the bearded man, big and bulky. HRHS. and Nells the bearded man sat down in their places after an exchange of greetings. It soon became apparent that Hans was the leader. nTonight, our objective is the Nord- smmjerg and Wedell shipyards, and we must not AN . 3gQfail.n He paused to light a cigarette, EiEnJanl you have' the dynamite sent by the tgm .

Be sure to get your plunger a safe distance away before it blows.' The men paired off and took their a mount of TNT and a plunger box and depart- ed leaving Neils and Hans. uLets go,W said Hans, and Neils pick- ed up the dynamite and the box. Hans blew out the candle and they both ascended the stairs. Twenty minutes later the men were cautiously dodging German sentries. Only one sentry they d1dn't pass. When theyap- preached him, his back was turned toward them. 5:.,'. ,g 4 u Q . .............. ll - Hans whispered, nThis is too good to m1ss.m Saying so he slipped his knife out of sheath noiselessly and stole up behind the German. His left hand darted over the man's shoulder and yanked his head back,at the same time his right, bearing the knife passed over the man's stretched throat. What was meant for a cry from the German was only a bubbling hissing. Putting the body down noiselessly in the shadows they continued on their way. They sneaked over the fence without any trouble. They were at their objection in short thme and within five minutes had set their bombs. WLet's lay the wire and go,n said Hans. Neils fastened the wire and then they started rolling out the wire as they went. When at about a quartermile away,they stopped. nThis will be far enough,n whispered Hans. He looked at his watch, it was ex- actly I2:29 minutes, 50 seconds to go. uGet ready,n whispered Hans. Neils placed his hands on the plunger. nTwenty seconds to go, fifteen, ten,f1ve, four,twq one, let 'er go.n The explosions that followed were terrificg it knocked the men off their feet, but they were soon regained. uLet's go, and fast,n said Hans, and they both sped into the night. Later when all six men were together Hans congratulated them. He then wrote something on a paper and handed it to Jan's boy. nDe1iver this to the Danish commis- sioner.n H On the paper were written two words 'Mission accomplished.u H. Nielsen SMILE Let's smile. It takes very little effort and it can mean a lot to some poor fellow who looks as though he had lost his last friend--and really may have. A smile is contagious. It can spread faster than the measles. If your troubles are so great that you cannot possibly smile, remember the other fellow and at least grin. Let's try to keep these serious, war- time days just a little brighter. Remem- ber the old maxim and abide by it, nSm11e and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.u J. Dence

OF 1Q 2 X SENIOR PLAYS Because there was a shortage of man- power in our Senior Class and because of transportation troubles, we decided it would be more advisable to present three one-act dramas. Our plays proved to be successful. nMy Aunt From Gal1fornia,u a farce by Madeline D. Barnum, had a cast made up of the Needy Family: Felicia, Rosalie, Sally and Mrs. Needy played by Helen Kaidon, Marie Green, Mary Andrews and Kathryn Scharf. Miss Wilcombs played by Marion Hill was the family dressmaker, and Mrs. Mary Nuntoburn played by Dorothy Nielsen was the UAunt from California.u In nThe Flattering Word,N a satire by George Kelley, a famous dramatic star, Richard Ahart, is a boyhood friend of Mrs. Wrigley, Katherine Scharf. As Tesh, Rich- ard succeeds in flattering the Reverend Rigley, Charles Butler, and his eccentric but zealous church worker, Mrs. Zooker, CLoretta Benjaminl into going to the the- ater. Our Lena, Helen Andrews, helped the fun. UGrandma Pulls the Strings,n a comedy by Delane and Carb, concluded the program. Grandma and little sister Hildegarde, im- personated by Patricia Staubach and Mary Williams, certainly make it difficult for Graydon Martin to propose to Virginia gosh ier. With the assistance C?J of Mother, Esther Gage, and an older sister, Marie Walters, everyone's romantic desires were finally satisfied. Ira Martin and Robert Weber were stage managers, DeForest Heffron super- fised advertising and ticket sales, so that Dec. IO, 19145 was a memorable day. A The whole world is spread before you, your mind is fresh and alert, your body is clean and strona, your spirits are light and gay. For you, suc- cess or failure. All the tests and examinations you've yet encountered are naught to the test of life itself. The prelim- inaries are over, the main event is about to take place, and you have top billing Here there is no cribbing, here you prove your real metal. with the world at war, doubled isyoir responsibility. The peace that must come has to be a just and lasting peace. It will be your job to make it that. The problem of reconstruction and rehabilitat- ion of a war torn world is also yours. Advancement of medicine, science and in- dustry is your burden too. A new world will emerge from this fray, and leading it will be a strong minority. This group must be firm and just, championing the underdog, and hold- ing high the torch of liberty. The task of this generation is more than great, it is a challenge. This challenge will be met, and the fight will be won because you carry behind you a heritage of great peoples and a greater nation will ndse its flag high and fight for its rights to the end. For you are America's youth.

A WINTER MORNING nGirlsl That's the alarm clock going off. Time to get up.u I slowly lift my drowsy eye-lids and peer out into the frost-bitten air of our room. Brrl Really winter! Still darke Guess I'll go back to sleep. I heave my sister a kick to arouse her from herright- mare and contentedly settle myself for my delightful pastime of dreaming. Why couldn't it be a warm summer day? Why does there have to be school today? Why anything? But why worry. I'm per- fectly happy in my dream. I can just see myself, lying in a magnificent goose- feather bed, with a servant floating in on the air carrying my breakfast. uGirlslW Dream continued tomorrow. , I jerk the blankets back and spring from the bed. I pull on my bath-robe, gather my clothes in a heap and rush down the stairs. After emerging from the steam- ing bathroom, fully attired, I scramble through a drawer in search of my hair brush and comb. Quote: to obtain brlb liant, sparkling hair, brush IOO times: unquote. Now to tackle the job of putting the lunches up. Sandwiches and sandwiches, a different kind for each person, It is a mystery to me how I remember which kind which person likes. Although I'd never forget my brother's because he eats pea- nut-butter continuously, day after day, year ln and year out and is still crazy about it. Breakfast over, and a quarter past. I leap up the stairs to throw the beds to- gether. What hurricane struck the boysn room? Must have been a violent one by the looks. Having accomplished that job. I race down stairs to gather my things to- gether. nwhere is my geometry? Anybody seen my notebook?n No answer. I guess :nobody around here likes to hunt for things. Oh, here they are, under the dav- enport. nwhich one of you boys did that neat trick?w Mustn't forget to brush my teeth be- cause they're valuable thin s. With my mouth full of toothpaste ang brush, l hear the bridge below our house rumble. Thats the busl I quickly empty my mouth, rinse off my tooth brush, grab my coat and books and make for the outside door. All here! Guess so. Wait a minute, where's my lunch? I dash back for it andreach the bus just before my sister. I obtain my bus seat and drop wearily down and mut- ter to myself, nturn around, I'm notfready for school, I'm ready for bed.u D.W11l1ams A RAIN STORM One Sunday afternoon CAug. 22,I9h5 to be exactl a severe thunder storm rumbled from above. Of all the thunder storms I have survived, I've never seen another so dangerous and yet leaving the environment so refreshed and beautiful. It was 6 oblock when huge dark clouds emerged from nowhere. Pretty soon the lightning began to zig-zag through the sky followed by the brutal thumping and roar- ing of thunder. After a heavy crash the rain gushed down in torrents while the wind streamed over the hill and swept away into the valley. The rain pounded on the panes,oozed and bubbled through the cracks while the house quivered and took a ter- rible beating. The little waves in the creeks tossed against the stones so swift- ly that little whirlpools were formed. As the gale let up a crash was heard outside and everybody rushed to the window just in time to see the ancient apple tree tumble to the ground. After the storm had blown over wewem outdoors to find everything rain drenched, but pervading all the fragrance of the sweet, fresh, pure air. The green grass and the trembling leaves glistened like diamonds when the sun blazed on them. A terrific rain storm is notpleas- ant, but after it is over, onlyPBPHdiS6 is left, J. Talarski ,MICKEY The fact that there can be found many cute, lntelllgent puppies over the face of the globe doesn't make it any easier for me to forget a friendly, brown and white, curly haired terrier whose shrill yaps formerly echoed in our back yard. nMlckeyn made his appearance in the world during a hot summer month. Flve weeks later he peeked into our hack door, from the arms of a dusty, sweat covered lad who had made the long journey over the hills with his burden in an onion sack. The appeal ln the eyes of both the lad and pup got a strong hold on the heart of the mistress of the house and thus it was a puppy came and stayed. As tlme went on the pup began to re- semble more and more each day a well stufi ed panda teddy bear. His brown sparkling eyes were always filled with lmpishness as he bounced from place to place wagging his stubby tall. ln those happy days it was a familiar sight to see hlm gnawlng on a spool, ln full pursuit of a kitten, obviously de- lighting himself by tugging on someones shoe string or welcoming us with a wagging tall as we dismounted from the school bus every afternoon. Then one afternoon at bus time, the tragic end came. Tirlng of waiting he ventured to new territory. Hls stay here was but a brief one, for a truck drlver unaware of such a small pedestrian struck him and snuffed out his life as suddenly as putting out a candle flame. Mg, Parker MUSIC Music always does something to me When in gym class we march to the uSta and Stripes Forevern I am thrilled. heart throbs to its rhythm. Glimpses 'old gloryn upon the stage flash before eyes. I cannot think--an feeling of gladness is the only thing which I am conscious. Suddenly the room is quiet as the music and marching feet stop. I hear the instructor explaining marching tactics become fully aware that America is a where one can be lifted high off troubles and set back on his feet again Along with being thrilled I'm a litt frightened at the thought of beingapart of anything so great, yet I am proud to a niece to the old gent with the high hat who loves peace and justice.
