During' the first week in Oc- tober, the Atsletic Department of Eaton High School installed a new game on the playground. Through the combined efforts of several Junior-high boys and the physical education classes the court was constructed. The game of Wgoal-hin was de- vised by Dr. NPhogH Allen of Kan- sas University as a build-up for basketball. It is played on a circular court with the hoop placed in the center of the court. Manytypes of games can be played, but the old standby, played with basketball rules, proves the most popular.

In- stead of dread, however, there should be a feeling of gayety, so why csn't we make this Halloween season the best for everyone? Halloween Wfunn does not have toinclude those pranks which lead to the destruction of property. In the first place, our boys are fighting in a great war. The least we can do is help preserve what they are fighting for--our. country and everything in it. Also, extra time and materials, of whichwehave a limited amount, have to be used hxmaking repairs. Think what would be saved if everyone did his part during one Halloween season! , Besides, many genuine good times can be enjoyed without harm to anyone. A masquerade party provides no end of enjoyment with all its weirdness of ghosts, witches, black cats, and'Jack-o- lanterns, not forgetting, of course, the usual array of fancy costumes. ' With these facts ln dnd, let's tell coo erate in makin this P 8 year's Halloween season one of pleasure and not one of destruc- tion. M 'FORMER E.H.S.

' 'Qs A PLEDGE I4 Q1 Fos cownsus DAY mt' October 12 is e day which we all should consider important to us as Christopher Columbus was horn ln Genes in 1451 and died in 1506. He loved to travel and by Febuary 1477 he had visited Ice- land twice. he married Felipe Monza de Prestrello ln 1478. Hs left Lisbon, after the death of his wife, and took his son to Spain in 1484. In preparing for his voyage to the New world he received three ships from Queen Isabelle and his crews consisted of prisoners and criminal men. On Friday August 5, 1492 at 8:00 e.m. they sighted and anchored on the Canary Islands. A little later on Friday October 12, 1492 at 2:00 a.m. they sighted the New World where we are living today. Therefore we should thins of this dey as e holiday hm meny American people realize it as just mr other day in NHBIF lives. This year particularly we should have striven, pledged our- forth new and restore peace ours which is result of one selves anew, to put tireless effort to to this world of our heritage ss a Mr. Columbus who lived in the fifteenth century. 1945 GRADUATES. CHOOSE T0 WEAR CAPS AND GOWNS The Senior Class met Thursday, September 28, to decide what it would wea!'st graduation exercises in the Spring. QS. H. Townsend. representing -the Collegiate Cap and Gown ompany explained the quality, color, and price of varl-, ous caps and gowns. The majority of the class voted for grey wrin- kle proof gowns and grey caps with white tassels. There are several advantages in wearing caps and gowns during war time. Boys will be going ln the service, clothes are more expensive, and the class is more uniform--thus presenting a more dignified appearance. Take time to enjoy 'the fine things of life. y 1

Orchids to Miss Kercneval for her eye-catching earrings, even though Mr. Hall doesn't apprecip ate them. Orchids to the Goodlander Sisters for being courageous enough to attempt to glamorize the Seniors--at the expense of their camera. Orchids to the Navy Department for allowing a certain sailor a furlough and cheering up Rosemary Hollowell. She was gg sad!! Thorns to the boys who cause fights and arguments on .school buses.-.Part1cularly Bob Martin's bus. I wonder do all of the buses have so many of them??? Orchids to the basketball boys and Mr. Hall for giving up their valuable practice period to move the new refrigerator into the cafeteria. I , Thorns to that first row of ,trumpets for disturbing the peace and solitude of the rest of the trumpet section by chattering so tmuch. Orchids to Mrs. Brueckheimer for barring various members of that well meaning but egotistical mechanical drawing class from lending their valuable assistance to advanced art class the eighth period. Thorns to the little stork that set the wheels of fate in motion some twenty years ago this month againstthepoor defenseless little dollles in bookkeeping class. U Orchids to Margaret Cduins for being tescher's little helper and informing Mr. Ross concerning the ink upon his face. 'Thorns to the boys who enjoy showing their pretty legs by rolling up their pants legs. ' Orchids to those fellows .who offered their blood for a trans- fusion to aid Charlie Gumpf -Spee cial orchids to Karl Dix, whose blood was used. We all hope that Charlie soon recovers.

CHUMBS AND CRACKERS In order to take a history test--the Junior Class would like to know who discovered American and by the way, when is Columbus Day? n Those students s1ttlnS in the North West corner of assembly would appreciate the school buy- ing them each a fly swatter.

A ETOW' ing romance? wanted: Mrs. Eastmen has ex- pressed her desire for a- small room where she may isolate her- self from everybody for 15 minutes every day. Bookkeeping worries overl!!! Mary Dickson highly recommends 'omitting any entry you don't understand and then forgetting about lt. It probably wasn't important anyway--at least not until it is time to balance the books. E. H. S. Students have the queerest dreams. A certain Sophomore girl dreamed E. H. S. was giving a play of ancient times. It seems Mr. Gibson was playing the part of Hercules and Shirley Lambert was a night-club singer. As I .recall the scene, Hercules lMr. Gibson! was stand- ing with outstretched arms while the ni ht-club singer Cshirley Lambert? was singing to him accompanied by Mrs. Lafollette on the piano. Alas, my story ends, she awakened. ' Anybody wishing to go to a ball game please- notify Ralph Medsker immediately for seating reservations. You will be as- sured of a good seat going and coming. His slogan ls The more the merr1er.' A little bird told me that the ACHNP Fire Girls had some very exquisite visitors Tuesday night AOct. 17. I uess the 8 re are fellow members of the organ- ization now. A man in a Clvll Air Patrol Uniform stood outside the door talking to Mr. Gibsons Tuesday. Suddenly a howl broke out from the bookkeeping class.--And I thought men were the only wolves! Jack R., I understand there is an extra typewriter in the com- mercial room, maybe you could arrange to have it put on your desk in the assembly, that way you wouldn't have to keep the stairs so hot taking passes up each period! . Gee, I wish I were a student at Selma--no school until Novem- ber l. I surely could use some sleep. Jane Norrick and one of the other numerous pupils in short- hand class seemed to have swal- lowed a feather Friday the 15th. and laughed hysterically thereby disturbing the entire class, but aided their digestion--we hope. News came over the wires about the wreck Sunday night, Oct. 15, but beleive it or notg Monday morning the victims, though slightly bruised, managed to come to school.
