Off Society Editor's Desk Oh, Oh! My billfoldls' missing! . Someone took my P. E. shorts! Oh, dear! I just can't find my lunch money! Boys and girls this is just some of the many, many, things that happen all the time. Someone just shall we say borrows cer- tain things that don't belong to us. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to trust everyone at school? Or do you like going around and not believing anyone at school? Once I talked to a young lady over at another school. She was in her homeroom and started to leave. Some one said, Don't forget your billfoldf! CWell, kids, do you know what she said?4j Don't worry, no one in here would take anything that wasnlt theirs. It is really and truly wonderful to be able to say that and know for sure that it's true. It really hurts to go to your locker and find your lunch money or something else that is of value to you, gone. It not only hurts but it makes you angry, very angry. I'm sure, quite sure, you wouldnlt like it if someone took a notion to latch on to some- thing of yours. Why not put yourself in the other fellow's shoes. Stop and think, '1Would I like that to happen to me? If only more people all over the world would do that, I believe, weid have a pretty different world today. There most likely would be less teen-agers in trouble with the law. You canlt break an old horse of tricks he did long ago and the same goes for humans. If you do little things while you're young. what will you do, when you're older????? -Ann. 'Y 1 'f r Ugh! Oh! Whew! Made it. Is this what you hear while walking down the halls? Most of the students here at Driscoll don't seem to realize that this year at Driscoll we are providing class rooms built for only about half the 1590 students at Driscoll. Due to the forced crowdiness at Driscoll we have tried to make the best of this and provide each and every individual student with his or her own locker. This has only added to the confusion in the halls because many extra lockers have been added to every hall. The Administration has put a lot of their time in trying to help solve this problebm. A way this problem has been helped is by having different passing periods for the boys and girls before and after school. None of us help the matter any by pushing and shoving so we can be the first to our next class. We all have ample time to go to and from our lockers and on to our next classes without pushing and shoving. So next time we want to push or shove while walking down the halls just stop and think that manners show in the halls, too. Remember! Consideration pays. -Beverly. The competition would be tough and would bear down on every play every second of the game. The first round of the State Tournament would be played Tuesday, starting at ll p.m. The Hillsdale team had drawn a bye. This enabled them to get an extra dayls practice. Coach Simpson was thankful for this, for in the last game with Lineingford the second and third stringers had played most of the game and the regulars had become a little ragged on their shooting. The team spent the whole last practice shoot- ing. They left late Tuesday afternoon and arrived late that night at Cen- tral City where the tournament was being held. The first game played Weclnesday was with the home team, Central City. The game was a closely played contest all 'through the third quar- ters, then as the fourth quarter ap- proached, as in so many games be- fore, Hillsdalels stamina and endur- ance began to tell. The game WOUI15! up with Hillsdale winning by a score of 57-49. .The second game with Banning was an entirely different story. The Ban- ning team was ahead all during the game, although never ahead. more than two or three points, they were always in the lead. Finally in the middle of the fourth quarter Hills- dale got within one point of the leafl- Then Tip sank a hook shot. Stumpy stole the ball and went all the Way in for a lay-up. Moments later Tommy sank a shot from the corner. Then Banning countered with. two free throws. To set this Slick sank a jump shot and a free throw awarded him when he was fouled. by a Ban- ning guard while he was shooting. The final! The game for the State Championship! Hillsdale was rated as an underdog as they were playing Enter-Falls from up state. The game was a repeat performance of last night's game for Hillsdale. That is as far as the first half. 'ldien Tip, Tommy, and Stumpy began to get hot, they sank shots from all over the court and were demons on defense. As the last of the fourth quarter Hillsdale pulled ahead by a socre of 65-58. This won the game. A few moments later it was all over and they were the State Champs. THE END. HOLLIS-NEESE A U T O P A R T S ALL ORDERS GIVEN PROMPT ATTENTION Ph.
