Will we ever forget: John Jennings asking a fel- low cornetlst ln band nAre we brass?n UPicklen Bar- rows and his viola renditions which always seemed to coincide with Miss Day's desire to tune the orchestra.

It also ordered awards for our music, athletics, and Jour- nalism to be presented at an assembly in the spring to students who have earned them. Four representatives of the Student Counsel, Eliz- abeth Lohr, Stella Polynlak, Gloria Roberts, and Peter Ward attended a conference in Spencer on November 15. The theme of the conference was 'Leadership Training for Council Officers.' Members of the Council took charge of all ticket- selllng at Basketball games. They also observe the be- havior of the students at games and other school acti- vities and devise ways of correcting faults lf the students do not act as they should. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE RETORTSJ The assemblies this year have been planned asusual by the committee, consisting of Miss Day as chairman, Mr. McCune and several of the new teachers with Edward Osovskl as representative of the Students' Association. During the flrst semester there were several informal Student Association rallles ln the form of pre-football pep sesslons at which the band played and the cheer- leaders had charge. There were several assemblies in which we had movies, purchased by the Students' Associ- ation. The Seniors gave a preview of their play 'Growing Palnsf. The Christmas program was one of the outstanding assemblies of the year, conducted by the music department. Miss Dorsett and the Soclalstudles Dept. planned a play uLook Beyond the Label,' put on by the Senior P.A. D. Class. This play takes into consideration tolerance heredity, environment, and stresses good qualities we should all possess.

Sometime in the spring there ls to be a muslcal assembly directed by Mlss Day with all musical organizations taking part. The grades l-6 have'had some very interesting pro- grams this year, too.

f Hearn. close-urs 5 HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL It's the day of the big game. He're playing the toughest team in the league. Since morning our imagination has been work- ing over-time on the outcome of the game. We try to read our history assignment, butaw the end of each paragraph, the score is either tied or we have just made a basket and know nothing of what we have just read. At last we reach noon and go eat our lunch, Much of the talk is about the game with little interest in eating. le leave most of our sandwiches and just buy a candy bar to chew on. The afternoon rolls on, much duller fhGh the morning with basketball more than ever on our mind. Then at last we're homeward bound on the bus, The chores don't seem to drag on as usual. They are so vague in our mind that we ask ourselves if we did them or not. If must be a relief to dad who doesn't have to remind us on anis any to put away the PUPUT because it's chore time. At last the big moment has arrived, we walk into the gym, and one look at the crowd and at ouropponentsvnakes our muscles sotense that we shiver as if from the cold. We get dressed and trot into the gym getting a rousing cheer from the crowd. It certainly makes one feel proud to be out there TGP- resenting his school in sports. We have a little warm-up of passing and shooting. The game is ready to start and our tenseness has changed to calmness, It's o close game all the way through with the lead going from one team to the other. The last minute of the game puts our opponents two points in the lead that they hold to the finish, Back in the locker rooms the conversa- tion is rather gloomy. 'If I had onlU M040 that pop shot,' or 'I ought to get kicked for missing that layup.' Everyone blames himselt le go home not feeling very happy, but tt was a good game anyway. In bed we review the game a dozen times picking out our mis- takes and planning how to correct them. The only thing that finally relieves our mind is that we play them a return game. ct' lg g DAYDREHMING Jaydreaming is one of the best forms of recreation. One of its many good points is that you don't have to lift a finger to do anything you want to. It is just as good as or better than reading, and you don't have to wear your eyes out. Another thing is that you.are always the hero whether the dream turns out in your favor or not. The villain may whip you or pull your fingernails out, but you never even whimper, and you always find some way to get untied and capture the villain. Sometimes the villain pulls a gun and shoots, but you brave the bullets until you can knock him out. At this moment the police, a doctor, and your best girl friend always arrive to save the day. But, if you don't know the best technique for daydreaming, some of the essence and fine flavor is not acquired. The first thing to do is to pick a place to daydream. It should not be in solitude, as many people wrongly believe, but should be where something else is going on, preferably a senmon or a class. The reason for this is that the contrast between the dull drone of a sermon or the brain-taxing questions of a class and the delightful, relaxed feeling of power and superiority makes daydreaming all the more enjoyable. In peace and quiet there is not this contrast, and the mind soon loses interest. When the mind once loses interest, it is very hard to gain its attention again, and it either falls asleep or begins thinking of something which, like a cold shower,lrings it awake and collected. After selecting the place one should sit and not think of anything until a few ideas of a daydream start filtering into the mind, After these ideas begin to come, the day- dreaming should begin in earnest. Good luck! X31-iweee A TYPICAL NIGHT IN DHYBROOK In this last half of the twentieth cen- tury the counrty is supposed to be quite civilized. At times I think where I live it is still infested with Indians and all sorts of wild animals just as it was back in pio- neer days. To start the night in gruesome style the screech owls give a serenade. Hearing them you would be positive someone was being brut- ally tortured and was crying for help. They set the mood for the rest of the evening. One of the neighbors is usually outdoors somewhere quite close by. Shortly the one outside will be missed by those in the house so another character will open his mouth wide and let out an un-Godly yell. This always is an excuse for an argument. The two will scream back and forth to each other, swearing every other word, if not oftener. If that isn't enough assurance that the Indians are about to make an attack on your peacefull little nook, I don't know what is. The great battle of words continues for some time with the owls adding their helpful little ad libl. After things have once again quieted down and the beautiful little valley is once again at peace and rest, the animals begin their nightly journeys. At least two, and often three, deer come down by the house to dig apples out to complete their midnight snack. They come right within fifteen or twenty feet of the house but don't seem to be at all scared. The radio is always playing full blast and they tip their heads from one side to the other listening to the music. When they get full and are tired of digging out the apples, they meander back up the hill a short way and gc to sleep. Next the rabbits come out to-play. They come to the woodpile by the barn and play tag over the logs. They like.the bark on the fresh logs so they have a little party with refreshments. By the time the deer and rabbits have had enough to eat, the neighbors and owls have decided to shut up, and good old Dry- brook has once again gone to sleep. Ze? fqv Z
