EATON SCHOOL DAY BY DAY Friday, September 1, 1944 Today many intsrgetic students enrolled in Eaton High School. Two new and very attractive faces appeared on the high ' school faculty this year. They are Elizabeth Kercnavel, music ins- tructor, and Martha Boggy, home economics instructor. lr. Hall, the coach, whom we thought we were going to lose last year, is back with us, making his second year at Eaton. I'm sure it doesdt make any of the students a bit unhappy. The student body really appreciated the enthusiasm and cooperation he portrayed last year. seventh graders were filled with excite- ment upon entering a new, strange world--the assembly! The ever prominent Iggsdgy, Sgptembgr Q This was an ideal day for be- ginning the nold routine.' When entering the assembly, every student was wearing a smile from ear to ear. Even the teachers-- lmagine tnat???? Before the day was over we had a few frowns, be- cause of class conflictsg -and on some lips--'I dldn't get the teacher 1 wehted.' With the co- operation of lr. Gibson, the faculty, and students, most dif- ficulties have been straightened Out . gasps EIQLQI , Sggtembgg Q This is the date that everyone has been eagerly awaiting all summer. 'When lr. Gibson wrote the announcement on the black- board, Yearl:ooks to be del1versd,' everyone was overjoyed. Each of us can say that they were worth waiting for. Ihugsday, September 7 Almost one week has passed now and every morning, noon, and night, we near' Hielpi Help! Hslp!,' coming from lr. Gibson. lr. Butterfield needed help bad- ly to get the tomatoes on their way. Eaton High School students were 'rarln' to do their part and did lt. During the summer vacation most every studmxt ex- posed himself to some essential industry., Some even worked on themselves. For instance, one of the WBlond Sirens' of the Senior Claes got a touch of the 'G. I. Pug' and shortened her hair. Feature this--the boys have let their hair grow a Ifew inches, Some grew a little both horizantally and vertically. lr. Gibson announced today that we would be seated in the morning. A majority of the students were anxious to get their permanent seats, but than the romancers were very much against it, knowing that they would be separated for a few periods a day. CI think there are a few left, at least one couple- who usually come in late each morning.l Eriday, September 8 This morning Irs. Wallace and lrs. Gregory seated the ninth to twelfth grades. lr. Hall and lr. Addington seated the seventh and eighth grades. As a whole everyone likes his seat. One' poor little Senior girl was left entirely out of the seating, so they gave her what was left-- a seat in the freshman section. After waiting eleven years to sit ln the last row, that would be murdertt! lggday, geptember ll ' The first period today, the exceedingly bright, and what's more very dignified seniors marched up the isles to Room 19. With lr. Gibeon's assistance, their' class was organized and officers were elected. Mr. Gibson Just announced that Mrs. Wallace wouldn't be here till noon. Wonder what hap- pened to her? Monday always seems to drag, because everybody acts as if he didn't get enough sleep over the weekend. Really there are two complete days and nights to do nothing but sleep, that is if you don't have a lot of assignments to prepare. This very seldom happens!!! Tuesday, September 12 We were to have a game with Center today but since it rained all day it was postponed. Today' was one of those days when you wish you were home in bed. To makelt worse, Mr. Gibson announc- ed that there wouldbs an assembly program which meant we couldn't attend classes! Ha! Hs! Ha! As if we cared!!!! Convocation was better than anticipated. We had a very ln- terestlng person with us today, Mr. James Klndig, the-evangelist. Assisting him were his wife and the Reverend Elmer Polk. Mr. Kindig played an unusual instru- ment, the hand saw'and also sang uShip Ahoy.' He gave an interest- ing talk. lOne thing he said got me confused though.J He said, 'The good students use plenty of midnight oll.' Some students may use midnight oil, but not always for studying. Neverthe- less, he was enjoyed by all. The Junior Classfbrains 'ofthe entire school! elected their of- ficers today in History Class with Mr. Gibson assisting. As I looked into the library today, I saw Annaruth Robinson and Miss Cochran putting up books which is very encouraging, since some of them are new. Mr. uibson announced today that there would be a contribu- tion from each class for the service nonor holl which is being built on the lndiana General service grounds. YDS sophomores organized their clsss the sixth period in noom lu and mrs. Laxollette is going to take the responsibility of them. Ihis afternoon at 2:50, nston went out on the field for a ball- game with Uenter. before the season opened several rumors were being spread about that we were going to have a terrible team this year. lt looked to me as if they were playing pretty good ball ending the game with a score of 13 to 3. hiebeling pitched 51 innings, noherts,5 and Meyers ll. Joe elliott hit 5 out of 3 and roe hit 2 out of 2. Twenty-one boys were used in all and the crowd was outstanding in sports- manship. yhggsday, ggptgmber 14 l've heard of seventh graders attending the wrong classes or maybe forgetting to go to class, but when wands Lowry, a senior, got into home -sc. instead ,cf typing, that took the CMS- rhat's what felling in love does for a person. l overheard a conversation between mrs. sastman and MP. Gibson today about her being un- able to get gas, endif she didnlt maybe that would mean all ner passengers and she would not be able to come out here and teach. The rationing board wouldn-t do a thing like that to us would they? uene roe was accused of munDEh today, the eighth period. while mrs. wallsce was reading some short stories written by the Juniors, uene was chasing a litde innocent mouse around the english room. After he had finally suc- ceeded in catching it, and by the tail, mind you, he hard heartily lsld lt on the floor, brought down his number thirteens, crush- ed the poor little creature to death, and proceeded to toss it out of the window. Believe it or not????? Providing you stay not longer seconds, put all cos- your face and not on than five matics on the wall, polish it after each using, and when you mend lt if it cracks look into it--you may use Mrs. Eastman's mirror in the Typing Room. Better get in line, girls Friday, geptember 15 The first period the class treasurers finished taking up me collection for the Service Honor Roll Board. Mr. Gibson announced the seventh, eighth, and nlnth grade sponsors. Mr. Addington sponsors the seventh, Mr. Hall, the eighth and Mr. Ross, the . ninth grade. They will organize their classes Monday morning. Kate Wall has deserted E. H.S. She is wearing an Albany basket- ball eweater. She can't do that to use .
