Williams, and Dick Hurst, with Mr. McBride, Mr. Fu- qua and Mr. Shere, the group worked throughout the night at the News-Gazette office. The following day was a bit trying for classwork but all survived. They drew the praise of the editorial staff of the newspaper and were com- plimented as the most out- standing bureau to carry on this task since World War l. Usually, the special workers are supplied by the Univer- sity of Illinois from the jour- nalism classes, rather than the high school. The report cards, coming at the end of the semester, brought both joy and grief to the students. Some of the courses actually proved to be tough, and some of the teach- ers-regarded as soft touches by a few of the non-workers -were not too generous. The honor roll post-ed in- cluded the following names, the majority retaining the same standing throughout the year: Individual students on the honor roll for the quarter were: Senior: 5 point: Patri- cia Brown, John Flesher, Pete Fletcher, Robert Hansen, Nancy Holmes, Barbara Jolly, Charlotte Keck. Betty Thomas, Charles White, and Anna Withers. Seniors, 4.5 to 4.75: Jean Geisler, Margaret Hayes, Har- vey Hunt, Charles Kaufman, Helen June Krabbe. John McNabney, Alma Miller.

Dempsey, Richard Kelly, Ruth Munk- vold, Richard Paterson, Jeanne Potter, Jean Temple, Charlene Watson, and Betty Wilson. Five point, Juniors: Dor- othy Armstrong, Barbara Grumley, Mary L.

v l Jim Cottrell, and accompanied by a number of kindred spirits from the girls' section, they formed a fence wrecking crew with the Shmikler fence pickets as the goal for devilment. Caught in the act-with Joanne Bresee carried off to the police station to do considerable explaining, the younglmen gladly assumed the role of fence re-builders to appease the urgings of the city officers: ,A number of other students had likewise encountered the blue coats at various times, with Ernie' Wright. Robert Jones, and Dale Cioodling paying speeding fines for operating their mo- torcycles at a high rate of speed. The'Student Council had entertained representatives from member schools at a district council conference, with Dick Hurst, outgoing president, carrying the burden in providing the program. '- e ' The cheer leaders made up of Ruby Zimdars, Pat Kenney, Jean Bruder, Maxine Medlock, Marvine Bell and Virginia Luscaleet--later replaced by Norma Nugent-had very ably dem- onstrated. their ability to arouse the students to top heights in supporting the team. And they were largely 'responsible in making the snake dances thetalk of the town. ' .At the bonfire-held on the evening of' November 2 and immediately preceding the origi- nal date ofthe Champaign-Urbana game-the cheer leaders had the team supporters at fever pitch, Had the game been played on the following evening. spirit alone would have carried the boys through to 'a topheavy score. s Butlthe rain,tcoming in torrents, caused a postponement of the game until November 16. chilling the Student Council ambitions to sell thousands of 'mums to the fans, the publication classes from putting out the Iirst game program, forcing the bandsmen in further rehearsals. and of course, obliging the victory 'hungry Maroon fans to sit in the biting cold to see the team win by a score of 13 to 0. To be sure, the Maroons were the superior team, and certainly deserved to win. And there are no complaints. The one victory - the slimmest in Maroon Big Twelve history - made amends for all misfortunes earlrer in the fall. The country had elected a President, passing on that honor to Franklin D. Roosevelt for the fourth consecutive term, and between the original date of the Urbana game and the time played in postponement, report cards had been tallied and passed out to the student body, the Thanksgiving holidays were just around the corner, and as another highlight of the month, the dramatic section was ready ,to present the fall play on the 17th. The students themselves, did not decide between Roosevelt and Dewey at the polls, al- though the sample balloting at the school showed strongly the national trend to retain the Pres- ident for another term., p Ten. of the studentswiththree members of the faculty did, however, have a most active part in tallying the local votes.-'Forming an election bureau.
