HALLOWEEN DANCE The Explorers of Post 'l50 will hold a Halloween Dance October 31. Dancing will begin at 7 o'clock until 10 o'clock. Admission will be 30 cents a couple and 50 cents for stags. Cokes, cookies, and candied- apples will be sold. There will also be a fortuneteller there to tell your fortune. Be sure and wear your Halloween costume because there will be a prize giv- en for the best one. The dance will be held at the Botary Scout Hut at 2510 Demp- sey Street Cacross the street from the Girl Scout I-Iutj. Everyone is welcome, so be sure and come. The Catis lVleow Canteen sure is getting to be a lot of fun, especially for certain kids, Billy Howell certainly does enejoy dancing with Sandra Riley. He lights up like a neon sign, every Saturday night. lVI1nnm1 I see we have a few kids from VVynn Scale this year. And from the looks of them their going to be pretty popular. They're Janice Pulliurn. Ronald Green, Jimmy Mc- Horse. J, VV. lVIartin's new also. Het hails from North Side. Man dig that new cheerleader this rear, boy whoever goes with her is sure lucky. and who else wouldn't I be talking about? but Blanche Duff. I wonder who Buzzy I-Iart and Fred Horne like now? I know its some nice cute chicks, Ginger Bed- ingfield and some of the other girls have been making like singers every day at lunch. Or Iet's put it this way, their trying to. Doesn't Josephine Flores make a darling cheerleader, well as far as that goes they all do. VVhen Linda Crofford falls for some one, she falls like a falling rocket and man that's fast. Ha, ha, wouldn't Louis Leal look funny with red hair? Did you see Glenda Bennett hit a home run and she got to second base too, while playing football the other day. Seems like Beverly Couch has been making eyes at a blond headed boy in the 3rd period choir. Sits right beside her too. VVouder who the boy is Betty Mull likes now. Oh, Oh, shouldn't have ask her. she's going with a boy from Miller High. Well, what do you know, we got all three Lucas here this year. They come in this order, Milte, Linda, and that cute little Billie. You know, maybe I shouldn't say little, but big. Do you think Sarah Jane Smith will get the boy she wants, well she sure won't have to try very hard. J. VV. Alylen sure likes his hunting gun, I believe its his best friend, to tell the truth. KI wonder how Hynie Ky Glasgow, is getting along in his Algebra. I-Ia, ha.j Can you imagine Bobo Beynon not flirting with all the girls, especially the ninth grade ones. Well, I had better bring this column to an end, or it might be the end of 1ne. From, The Editoris Desk I-Iey, kids. how many of you have bought your annual? They're going fast and they'll be better than ever this year. There are going to be 600 disappointed faces November 10th, when some students find out no more annuals can be ordered. The sooner you get your deposit in the better our annual will be. Make your deposit today and we guarantee you the best annual in town.-Mary Mosel. ri fa- M.. ,.

Cappi Adams How About It? Recently Mr. Parish, our principal, requested that Robert Driscoll stu- dents either eat at home or not leave the school grounds at noon. Some students, who are used to eating lunch in Shell Center, seem to think this is unfair. .Perhaps they would understand the situation better if they would realize that Mr. Parish didn't make this rule because he thought it would be fun. He made it because he considered it necessary and he studied the facts carefully before making his decision. Mr. Parish knows that our cafe- teria is over-crowded and untidy, but the students are the only ones who can correct this unfortunate situation. If every student would pitch in to keep our cafeteria clean and orderly we wouldn't need to be afraid some visitor is going to see it and go away with a bad impression of the whole school and all its students. We know our school is the best anywhere but anyone who sees our cafeteria is going to be hard to convince. It is indeed sad that students who behave as they should must be de- prived of their privileges because some students aren't old enough to go to lunch without some one to keep them out of trouble. This includes causing the business people of Shell Center trouble and throwing food in the cafe- teria. CThis would be a disgrace to a child in kindergarten.j Out of respect for Mr. Parish and our school, every student of Robert Driscoll should con- sider themselves on their honor to stay here and help the rest of us make our cafeteria as nice a place to eat as our own homes or any place in Shell Center. Meet the Press This week we would like to intro- duce our assistant editor, Pinina Nor- rod. Pinina has brown hair and blue eyes. She is 14- years of age and is 5' 44 inches tall. Pinina's homeroom teacher is Miss Seiler and is in the ninth grade. She attended Oak Park Elementary School. Pinina lives at 4-206 Mueller and her telephone number is well we'll let you find that out for yourself! This is Pinina's first year on the staff but it seems like she's been with us for years.

Halloween means holy eve- ning because it comes the day before All Saints' Day. We celebrate Halloween with pranks and parties or as commonly called tricks or treats. The early people of Britian cele- brated their autumn festival at this time of year. It was an occasion for feasting on all kinds of food which had been grown during the summer. The modern customs of decorating for Halloween are pumpkins, leaves, and cornstalks which came from the Druids. They also believed in ghosts, spirits, black cats, and witches. Halloween is celebrated by both children and grown-ups. There are special games we play at Halloween such as bobbing for apples and telling fortunes and ghost stories. Everyone always enjoys Halloween, no matter who or where you are. FLASH! From The P. E. Field Mrs. Crider's 4th class organized two teams. The Cliatsj and the CCatsj. For 4- days the CRatsj and the CCatsj played like mad. The fRats finally won' out. VVhat Rats they were-Score 15 to 11. The fa- mous fRatj was Maria Garcia and the famous CCatj of the Week was Delia Torres CWow! What a Cat! Fun was had by all.j tired. Coach had really put them through the paces today. Tommy and Stumpy were still groaning and moaning. Hey Stump, you and Tom come on over to the house and have some cookies and milk. Mom made a fresh batch this morning, Tip in- quired Stumpy. Say Tip that's a great idea. Okay doke, that's fine with me, agreed Tommy. Coming up the walk like a pack of horses they clambered to the house and to the kitchen as Tip got the cookies and milk they hashed over the day's action. 'tYou know Tip, that big guard is pretty classy, com- mented Stumpy. Whats wrong Stump, you getting worried? ierred Tom. '4Well at least we're safe for awhile. We all survived the first cut, commented Tip with a sigh of relief. Next day, while shooting around with Tom and Stumpy, Tip noticed that Coach Simpson was motioning to him. L'Tip I have an idea and I want to talk it over with you in my office after practice tonight, re- quested the coach. Sure coach, but what's this all about? questioned Tip. you just wait until after prac- tice today and for goodness sake don't say anything about this to your team- mates! directed Snuffy. And with that the coach shuffled out to the cen- ter circle and called practice to or- der. As practice progressed through the hours Tip wondered what in the world coach could want to see him about. After practice he dressed quickly and hurried up the steps to coach's office. He stood before the door and knocked and entered as coach called, come in. CTO Be Continuedj F.H.A. Club Organized The officers of F.H.A. this year are Elizabeth Webb, president, Myra Jane Alston, vice-president and Jo Ann Medcalf, secretary.

Bob Holloway, He has black curly hair, brown eyes, he's 5 ft. 11 inches tall, and weighs 210 pounds. He has one little girl that he plans will come to Driscoll in a few years. Mr. Hollo- way attended Peabody University and went to University of Wisconsin, where he played three years with the Badgers. Mr. Holloway is very co-operative in every school activity.
