For it is written, 0Come to the office, state what you think, and we shall endeavor to enlighten your benighted intellect till you think as we do.' Now, faculty, we sincerely hope you will recondider your'unwdtten law' and let us sit together for getting our lessons when we so desire. we steadfastly promise that we shall not abuse that rare and coveted privilege. Then, oh, please! Will our lady teachers make no attempt to find their tempers whhnathey have already lost several times in tgp ing to corall a few wayward sheep back into the fold. A finally, on faculty, we ask hestiantly, in order tH8t GX joys be undimmed, that you Keep none from passing. uh, honorable faculty, we love you I As the united body, do away with the rlunk man.

But, reallv, it is difficult to drive those twenty-five miles four or five nights a week with this gasoline rationing program in full swing and the F. B. I. agents active. Then, too, '1t's difficult to break an old pre- served hebit!! It's rumored that Joe even wanted to enter Central of Muncie this year. Better make it Burris for real convenience. Joe. I see our Number l magazine salesman, Jackson, is atit again. However, after all, Jackson, that first period lg 295 band and not selling magazines. What sort of cut are you expecting anyway? What's the matter with Betty C.? She forgot to go to History Class the other morning. That's alright for a freshman but---a Jun1or!'!! Perhaps Purdue has something to do with it. It seems Annaruth Robinson is kept busy the first pertod every morning reading letters from the -Navy. E That last period :shorthand class is really industrious. Few but mighty! What's this I hear about cer- tain E. H. S. boys being so popu- lar at Selma. There's nothing slow about the students of E. H.S is there? Huffman, Tuttle, and Stsnack have assumed the responsibility of washing dishes in the cafe- teria. They really look pert in those aprons. It's plain to be seen too, that Jane thinks this experience will tend to improve Bi1l's qualities as a husband. Flash!! Mildred Jones reported to have been in Eaton Wednesday night, September 20. Puzzling, isn't it? 'Appeal' continued. from those terrifying exams: lt might be the very incentive for all that nerd work the faculty expects rand rarely getsJ. All this we doask is the name of our- selves, tHE nigh school. New tneu I THORNS AND ORCHIDS Orchids to the Eaton Norsemen for the thruling game with Royer- ton which Eaton won to the tune of 5 to 4. Royerton slid back further than they climbed up the Friday before, Tut! Tut! Too bad they awaked and their dreams van- ished. Orchids to Dave Riebeling and Ralph Medsker for their good rec- ord at the State Fair. Orchids to last yesr's Seniors for the Saga which was drooled over by all who gazed on its intriguing interior. Orchids to Mr. Gibson for being brave enough to assume the r1q n- sibility of both the Junio! and Senior Class Sponsorships---But, won't Richmond expect to welcome him by Spring? Thorne to Ralph Medsker for calling Mrs. Brueckheimer Mary Ellen in mechanicaldrawlng class. 'An 'F' for todayll' Thorns to Karl Dix for disput- ing Mr. Ross's intelligence con- cerning death rates. Excruciating for the rest of the class, wasn't lt?? Orchids to Mrs. Eastman for improving the morale of the typ- ing students by adding frilly white curtains and plants to the commercial department. Hooray for the mirror, too! Thorns to the girls coming to school with then'tresses in curl- ers. We think they're horrid. Don't they credit us with enough intelligence to realize they look terrible longer while their hair ls drying than they look beauti- ful when lt ls dry. We prefer to see it shiny, well brushed, and combed. Orchids to the grade children for their splendid co-operation in the milk weed pod collection campaign. Thorns to Hrs. Wallace for not permitting political discussions in United States Govenument Class. We know 1t's unethical but would- n't it be enlightening? Orchids to the hhnzschool stu- dents who are helping the war ef- fort by working outside school YET are maintaining their school grades on lor above the' average level. Thorns to those girls who con- tribute more to the' advertising of other high schools than their own by flaunting the foreign school sweaters under our noses each day. Thorns to those students who work outside merely to get out of school. Thorns to Hr. Gibson for not -speaking loudly enough in the assembly. Q5 can't hear lg thg beck! Say, did you hear about Mr. Gibson beating his wife up the other morning? He got up at five and she got up at six.
