SCHOOL DAYS H I.lTl'l.E TEN TIQACK MEET The Dawson Lions retained their championship at the Little Ten Track Meet by a wide margin. The Lions clearly showed their power in all of the events except the hurdles. The Dawson team was paced by Billy Auxier, who garnered four firsts and a third for a total of 22 points. In the javelin throw, Auxier eclipsed the record of 149 feet, six inches, held by Orville Yocum, with a throw of 152 feet, six inches. This was the only record broken as the field was not in good condition. 100 Yard Dash-B. Auxier CDD lst: Sailors CShD 2ndg Schutte CDD 3rdg Snodgrass CSD 4th. Time 11 sec. v 220 Yard Dash-B.

SCHOOL DAYS 0 TDACK ACTIVITI ES . The track season at Dawson for this year has every prospect of being successful. Several lettermen and other candidates have turned out for practice. Lettermen include Bill Auxier, Dean Suchsland, William Hasenyager and Roy Auxier. Lowell Helmick, Eugene Wopata, Lawrence Gerlt, Gene Ray, Lowell Heim, Charles Schutte, LaMoine Beachy and Loren Noa have checked out equipment and expect to participate this year. Every member of the squad is looking forward to the Little Ten Track Meet, which is to be held in Auburn. Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Williams, our coach, the Tracksters are working out regularly and expect to do their best for Mr. Williams and with the assurance that this season is to be another lap in the race of accomplishments for Dawson High School. I i SNEAIY DAY On Wednesday, April 8, 1942, at 6 a.m., the Seniors of Dawson High School were actually starting on that oft-thought-of and long-awaited-for so-called Sneak Day. Fifteen members of the class and Supt. Herbert E. Little chartered Orville Wuster's bus and we were off for a big time! After a short stop in Nebraska City we arrived in Omaha, our destination, at 9:00 a. m. Our first stop was at Boys' Town, where we were shown about the premises and inspected their various shops, dormitories, and saw some of their workmanship in the woodworking shop, sheet metal and pottery shops. After returning to Omaha from Boys' Town we stopped at the Joslyn Memorial, where the highlight attraction was an interview with a London Auxiliary Fire- man. He accompanied various relics and debris, left by the fires in London, and had many expensive paintings, which were painted by one of the members of his group. . Immediately after dinner we visited the Fairmont Creamery and witnessed the stages of butter making as well as viewing the ice cream department. Art the close of this trip each of our group was treated with an ice cream bar. ' From the Creamery we went to Supreme Bakers' plant and watched crackers being made.Besides seeing the cracker process, we saw how cookies are manu- factured. After nearly an hour of joy walking we were given a box of cookies, which seemed to disappear readily. At this point in our trip we went out to the Municipal Airport. After an imagin- ary landing, we viewed the various buildings from the outside only, and then went to the cafeteria where we waited for an incoming plane. At 4:42 we saw the first passenger plane land. Before we finally took off, we saw three planes land and two depart. Everyone seemingly enjoyed this visit as much as any place we visited. We then returned to Omaha and spent the rest of the evening as we pleased. After a short stop in Nebraska City on the way back, we arrived home at an early CU hour, and called our Sneak Day 100 per cent complete, with all the trim- mings included. H

p cuooi DAYS NEWSDADEIQ The newspaper staff of the Dawson school began, as was its custom, the work of mimeographing a newspaper. This procedure was followed until Christmas, since which time the practice has been discontinued. Because of a paper shortage and a wish to aid the government by conserving in every way possible, the staff secured permission from the editor of The Dawson Herald, Chas. M. Ross, to have its news printed each week in The Herald. Every week, news of the Lion's Mirror appears on page two of the local newspaper. The staff of The Lion's Mirror is: Editor ----,..----.----..--- ..........,..
