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.

X Painted by wintry artists, the sturdy building shows its strength against a snowy background of December and January. While it has long been regarded as axiomatic that the fall play presented by Wig and Paint would bring down the house, Best Foot Forward given on November 17 certainly captivated the crowd that filled the CHSauditorium to overflowing. The play-popular on the big time circuit and regarded as one of the best movies of the year when done by Hollywood-was packed with wisecracks, situations and complications that lived up to Walter Winchell's summary of being a honey for your money. Best Foot Forward was based upon the annual school dance at Winsocki Boys' School, replete with many intricate situations including one of a boy having two dates, and a love scene between the movie star, Gayle Joy, and one of the school professors. The play initiated several new faces to the CHS stage, four of these being transfer students from other schools. They were Bill Harkins, transfer from 'Texas who gave a magnificent per- formance of the girl-shy Hunk: the fussy Doctor Reeber, portrayed by Ed Bevans, transfer from Onarga military school: Maxine Medlock from Seymour who very capably played the part of Miss Delaware Watergap, and Gayle Joy, the beautiful actress played by Rose Marie Holmes who hails from Herrin.
