Chandler, Gwen Porche, Manuel Cano Flay James Judy Blackman, Sue Ann Gore Mrs. Cappi Adams A F TUTTER OFF SOCIETY EDITOH'S DESK Well kids! How does it feel to be back at school? Fine! You know, some of you don't know how lucky you really are. You had a nice Christmas and New Year's. You had parties and worshipped in the church of your choice. Many of you went on trips. But do you know that in some countries that children don't even have shoes or enough clothing to keep warm. Those kids don't even have a chance to go to school. They l1HVCHll got the chance to make something out of themselves. We have the advant- age of hundreds and thousands of kids. The teachers aren't here just to earn a living. They're here to try and teach us something. VVl1y do you think we have teachers? Just to make sure we get to school or to make sure who we don't cut up in class? You don't like school it must be because you're always getting into trouble. Or else not making good grades in your school work, But we do have the chance to come and learn, not for our mother or father but for ourselves. Listen! What you learn no one can take away from you, Something may hap- pen to your family or your Dad may die, but no one will ever be able to take away the knowledge you have learned at school. If you quit school right now, do you think you could get a decent job to make a living for yourself? You boys, do you think you could make enough to support a family like your father is doing? Well, I can 'tell you now, you l1aven't got a chance. By the time you get out in the world to support yourself, you won't have half a chance. This world is get- ting hard and tight, why now it's hard to get a good paying job with- out college education. Much less a high school education. What do think it's going to be get to be 18 or 20? around in class, why some of your teachers and buckle down and work. Ann you you fool fool like when So don't don't you Meet the Press This week our personality is Bren- da Cecile Blackmon. A ninth grader who has been on our Prairie Press Staff, this making the second year. Cecile is 15 years old and has green eyes with brown hair and she is 5'4 tall. Cecile has gone to school in four states. They are: Louisiana, Califor- nia, North Carolina, and last but not least Texas. Cecile's telephone number is TU 3-3946. Well, Cecile's going to Miller next year. so let's make her work hard while she's here. Welcome Back To School Well kids, it's back to school again, and I bet you got a lot of gifts you wanted. There's one gift that is given to you that you should think about. I guess you know what I am talking about, that is your school. Do you know how hard it is for any person who didn't finish school to get a job? VVell, you can think of it as trying to find a needle in a haystack. I've talked to a lot of boys who for one reason or another didn't get to finish school. About nine out of ten told me that they wish that they could come back and finish school. You know that if you quit school you will take away a privilege that is given to iust some kids. In other countries some kids are not fortunate in getting a good education. So you should try to make the best of it and not complain about enough holidays. Let's all start the new year off good and I'll bet you will be glad that school is given to you.

Now our next game with Podee will be a lot tougher than this past game. You're going to have to hustle plenty to win this one. I think you can do it, the students around school and the teachers know you can do it, but the trouble is, do you know you can do it? inquired Coach Simpson. A series of cheers, hand clapping, whistles and whoops showed that they were confident. With spirits running high Coach sent them into the paces of the days practice at a fast tempo, wanting to use their spirit for some- thing useful. After practice and a shower they all felt chipper and al- most half the squad went down to the ice cream parlor just to celebrate. This in itself was a good sign that they were looking forward to the game with Podee. Practice went smoother than it had gone all year with everybody hustling and full of chatter. thus the scrimmage games were closer and better contested. Coach knew that the team was in fine shape both physically and mentally and had no worries concerning the up-coming game with Podee. Podee opened the game in a spurt with four points before the Hills- dale boys could catch their breath. Afterwards they seemed to be pretty well matched, matched basket for basket. The quarter ended that way with the score 20-16, in favor of Podee, In the last of the second quar- ter, with only a minute and a half left and the score reading 32-28 for Podee, the Hillsdale five got hot. Stumpy sunk a long set shot from a position between the free throw cir- cle and the half-court line. A mo- ment later Slick Millehick stole a pass from the Podee forward and dribbled the length of the court, with a man guarding him, passed off to Phil who sunk a lay-up. VVith only ten seconds left Tin blocked a hook shot by the Podee center, picked up the ball, and threw a pass almost three-fourths of the court to Tommy who was running down the side of the court, and he sank a push shot. The half ended with the score tied 32-32. In the last half the teams both played over their heads. They scored with almost every shot.
