Page4- THE PRAIRIE PRESS Monday, November 21, 1955 Y - + The Whispering Sands Hey, now, what's this we hear about Janice Pulliam and Freddie Cuevas? Seems to be making good time with each other, Tyrone Wen- ger and Trudy Sears are another couple who seem to be enjoying each otl1er's company. Wait a minute, Direce Palmer, whatta you mean shifting around with the girls like you have been. Don't you know there's a law against that sort of thing? Should be a pio- neer and settle down to one certain girl. 011, oh, Linda Woods, you better watch it, there's a certain ninth grader chasing you. I'Ie's a real cute cat, too. Kathy Ryhan has a lot of fun in the halls now-a-days also, what goes on Kathy? Seems Patsy Edgeworth has her eye on a certain boy in Mrs. Hur- ley's homeroom. What about that? Bonnie Collins seems to be CFlip- pingj over a certain boy at Baker Junior High ftraitorj. Let me list you a few of the cats and kittens we got running around For Girls Only . . . Attention all girls! Wanna's get a boy friend? Sure you do. Then here's some GOOD advice. Dig out your gunny sacks, pistols, bear traps, and knives. Oh yes, I almost forgot, be as charming as you can. November the 26th is SADIE HAWKINS DAY. But, maybe you're the shy, timid type and even though you'd like to catch a boy friend you just can't make yourself do it. On top of that you wouldn't even know how to use the knife, bear trap, pistol, and sack. If all of that is true about you, then you need some extra special advice, mainly the steps to take. The steps are: No, 1: Find his locker. No. 2: Set your largest bear trap and put it under his locker. No. 3: Wait until the trap is sprung, then charge with pistol load- ed. Qwater pistols are safer, but don't have as good a results.j No. 4-: Don't release the trap until he promises to walk you home. If he still won't promise, put your gunny sack over him and threaten to suffo- cate him. CBy now it is guaranteed Finals Coming ln lntramural Intramural Football is almost coming to an end. There are eight teams left in the race. These teams are either in the finals or semi-finals. There are three left in the seventh grade and five in the eighth grade.

Thanksgiving Assembly ls Presented By SC On Wednesday, Nov. 23, the Stu- dent Council presented a Thanks- giving assembly in the cafeteria. The eighth grade attended the program in the cafeteria and the other stu- dents heard it over the P.A. system. Beverly Couch, president, intro- duced the program. The mixed choir, under the direction of Mrs. John Scogin, sang Come, Ye Thankful People, Come. Bobo Beynon, treas- urer, read the Hundredth Psalm and the excellent guest speaker. The m.ix- ed choir sang The Lord Is My Shepherd and Mr. Parrish ended the program with a benediction. The program was excellent and everyone appreciated Rabbi Wolf's thoughtfulness in spending his time with us at Thanksgiving. The Stu- dent Council also deserves our thanks for putting on this fine assembly. Pictures Are Received May I have a picture of you? If you were a stranger to Driscoll walk- ing down the halls, this is an ex- ample of what you might have heard. Robert Driscoll received their school pictures Wednesday, November 16. Everyone seemed to be well pleas- ed with them and on a whole they Mrs. Preston gave an invocation. jwere very good. These pictures will Rabbi Wolf of Temple Beth El was be used in the 1956 Ranger Annual. Boy! Talk about a good band! Robert Driscoll's band this year is THE BAND! . . . Mr. Chiorgno, a teacher and director here for four years is real proud of his band, which played very nicely and impressively at the football games. There are 80 members in the band and 65 mem- bers in the concert band. Some of the people in his wonderful band are in the All-City Band. Mr. Chiorgno's band is to start on their concert music and sectional re- hearsals this morning at 8:00. They will practice on their Christmas music for the Annual Christmas Pro- gram. The sixth period band runs on a basis of first chair, second chair, and so ou. These are the people in the first chairs in sixth period. In the flute section we have Julie Dotson. the oboes Margaret Taylor, and the clarinets Gilbert Ita. In the alto saxaphone group We have Gail Eg- gleston, and Harvey Tinnell is first chair in the sax section. In the French Horn section David Irving is in first chair, and Toby Hale is first in the coronet section: Carlos Garcia is in first chair in the trom- bone section, and Bobby Bissett is first chair in the tubas. Jessie Leal is first chair in the baritone section, and Mary Rivas plays the bells. Thomas Dunn and Judy Clark play the drums. Jeanne Maurer acts as secretary in the sixth period class. On October the first the band raised S500 Cwhew!j when they had a wonderful Sausage Supper. They have a tape recorder that they bought with the money. I think we should be very proud of the Robert Driscoll Junior High School Band. They have worked hard and will work harder. I am sure that we have the best band around- let's congratulate the members-they certainly work hard enough! SORRY! Opps! We really goofed this time. The Best All- Arouncl boy in the Ninth grade is David Bremer.
