.WEMTN DMGI SCNDU DAY nf-5 A-X' y -x f .- If ,N Z 1 x. I blffihgassas Monggy, January l, 1945 rrrrrr---was it ever cold out and my, how icy! Everyone was 'slipin and sliden' around-the corners on this new Year's Day! - There were a few 'droopy eyes' but as a whole the assembly was real bright and cheerful after our long vacation. The Great Jackson marched up the isles of the assembly to ac- cept an award which was presented to him by Mr. Gibson. Nearly all of the country 'kids' returned home after lunch as the roads were very bad. Thats one advantage of living in the country. A change of the program sort of disrupted the student body, but it finally worked out alright Tuesda , Januar 2 S5me of the busses were unable to gc on their routes. The teachers were detained, awhile and two of them d1dn't make it at all. For some of the students that meant no classes. lHow sad they were!! As I ether M Ross had E re quite a time getting to school this morning. He sa1d,WThe ice is pretty hardl' , Wednesda , Januar 3 -The ,grade card? were distri- buted..CUnfortunately!5' K Mrs. LaFol1ette and Hrs. East- man are back with ue again. Thursday, January 2 everal announcements were made the first period pertaining to the yearbooks and ' tourney tickets. It snowed some more! Pretty soon we will have to dig a tunnel to get to school. Frida , Januar 5 s TEe slick roads kept the maj- ority of our fans from traveling to Center. The game was really a snap though. Unfortunately, the bus in which the team was traveling broke down five miles south of Muncie, but they soon recieved aid from Charlie Hahn, who 'slid' down after them in no time at ah. The pep session today was really a Wwh1z.' . Monday Januar 8 Say: have any of you noticed how Wslicku Dave Riebeling has been looking since Christmas? He certainly is giving his new shav- er a work out. My! My! Mr. Hell really took a 'raz- zingn when Principal Gibson an- nounced after the .Friday game with Center that we would play the first game with them in the Co. Tourney. Just think, Mr. G. knew it when he bet with Mr.Hall. You'l1 learn one of these days, The sixth period study hall seemed to have a Wmischeiviousn air--or at least it seemed that way to me when I saw three vic- tims going through to the office with expressions on their faces that made them look as if they had bumped into obstacles too great to conquer. . Tuesda , Januar 9 THe Jr.HIgH tain came out with new, flashy Jackets after lunch. I saw a couple of girls the same kind. Gee! when Hall start letting girls the team? A Sr. 4-H meeting was Room 20 the first period. wearing dld Mr. play on held ln Wednesda January 10 Hr. Gibson annouhied there has been 125 yearhooks sold already. Mrs. Wallace has started prac- ticing her seniors for the play ,which wlll-be glven this month. Thursday January ll ' . An eih arent group of stu- dents gathered ln the gym after lunch and formed one of the best 'pep sessronsu of the season. Three cheers for Mrs.LsFb1lette's brief the 'Mighty Norsemenn and Joe Ell1ott's speech on good sports- lecture on the history of emanship. I think Mr. Ross 'sorta'. intentionally skipped out on us, don't you? We'll get him another time though! The class rooms of E.H.S. were filled with excitement- ourole and gold streamers were npoppingl up with nearly every student through the halls. Frida , Januar 12 ' Hy gooa n'e s's! ,The rn-st period study hall looked as if everyone had deserted E.H.S. Dhe to cir- cumstances beyond our control, some of the bus drivers were de- tained from making their routes. As a result, we were dismissed for the day at 11:00 o'olock. The Norse played an exhausting game with Selma, but the 'sharp shooting' Bluebirds deterred us from victory. A Monde , Januar I5 I do 5eIieve'I saw some more 'love birds' lingering through the corridors and class rooms this last month or so. Maybe some of you have noticed Bob Walters, Bob Phillips, and B111 Simmons quietly approaching H. Cooley, B. Nixon, and B. McKinley., . The tourney didn t come out exactly as we had hoped!!! . 1 Tuesda , Januar 16 The 'Muncie Teachers' had an exciting event occur while coming to school this morning--a red fox dashed in front of them. CThey ,say it was headed toward Mr. Gib- son's farm. The Play 0hSTacters are work- ing strenuously every day. Wednesday, Januar 17 I think Bother Nature has for- sotten us. We haven't seen .the ground for just ages. Some of us have even forgotten we have warm urn'-45.4.15 :ann-get--I mnn If anyone needs any instructkm about laying out a pattern in Home Ee.--just ask M. J. Cox. Thursday, January lg e class tressurers are try- ing to balance their books. My! What a headache!!! That reminds me--my ded has had the living room cluttered up with income tax materials for the past several days. Oh! Gee! I'd never make a business woman. Frida , Januar 19 We d1dn't get'to have pep ses- sion today for some reason or other. Too heavy a schedule, I guess. Our game with the Cardinals was an easy win. What! Did I hear I. Addington and H. Roberts are going together now? Say, Maybe something will come of this. You never can tell these days! Monda , Januar 22 Hrs. WaIIace met her classes with an unusual trait. She us- ually soesks with a light voicq but not today--it was- a hoarse, deep voice that made me look twice to make sure it was she. Finally she explained it was only a cold in her throat, Royerton brings her Junior High Teams here for a game with our Norse 'Tots' tonight. By the way, Mr. Ross, what sort of a hobby are you starting that makes you cut Wpaper dolls and'tie hair bows out of rope in 'your sixth period assembly? V , Tuesda Januar 25 The CommercIal'Fbom was pretty Uhot,u so I hear, the fourth per- iod. But Mrs.Eastman, just like a Nmarlne land1ng,u had the situa- tion well ln hand. Mr. Gibson had-to Wcrack down' on us the first period about hurrying through the halls to lunch. Mrs. Wallace doeen't even have a 'squeak' today. It seems like some sort of a contest--her nonmn voice one day, deep toned the next 'and now today--nothing!!! I can't decide which way I like her best. Wednesda January 24 Fevfews are sta?t1ng and you see a few more books go home in the evenings. !Looks good anyway! Thursday Januar QQ A 10121-if 15 s small 'kiddies' office and hall wish this sore are' seen in the- each day. Sure throat epidemic would soon clear up. Frida .January 26 E.E:S.was ons'Wbig uproar' the entire day. One of the feature events of the season occured in the gymnasium this evening. Ween- terteined our Wole cousin,' ROY' erton and some rugged bah playing took place. Whew--I thought I'd get smashed sure! Every little Wcrsckn was taken up with people. It was so crowded that the yell leaders had to stand out in front and direct breathing by yelling-- l-2-Exhale, 5-4-Inheleg l-2-Ex- hale, 5-4-Inhale. We all obliged.

Orchids with silver ribbons ex- , ORCHIDS tended. to Mrs, LaFollette for her ,I ' ' 'L praieeworthy contribution to the t.a12, 'J 'AND pep session. .L K ! M: ,Q tl V,u.:.21 ' 'moans Orchids to Mr.Hall for selling those cute little purple and gold hats. Practically everyone was wearing one except those who got there too late. They just would- n't go around to everyone who happened to want- one! But then maybe he'll get some more in at a later date in time for the Sec- tional ,Tourney. But--thorns to those who wear them in the school building. Orchids to two Senior boys with enough intellect Q or what have you! to put to motion a brilliant brain storm when confronted with the tough problem of getting their car out when it was parked next to the curb at the field house sur- rounded on all sides. They simply backed out via the sidewalk. Sounds simple---but is it??? Just ask H. and K, Thorns to Mr. Ross for peeking in on the Post Office players at the Freshman Christmas party. Can't those poor kids have any Drlvaoy??? Thorns to all boogie-woogie players in E, H, S. for inter- rupting a perfectly beautiful speed test in typing class 7th period. I'll bet every one would have broken their speed records lf their nerves had not been so rude- ly shattered at that lnopportune time H Orchids to the Senior Class for oelng strictly on the beam with their timely selling of purple and gold streamers at the county tour- unamentk .Thorns to the little gremlin that causes cars to collide with, cars! Hon. Spy was breezlng a- round on Mrs. Eastman's bumper one evening last week when the car unceremoniously rammed the one in front. .Now his feelings are de- finately injured over his lost dignity and he refuses to ride with her hereafter, Now, how are we going to learn the inside dope? Orchids to our faculty for al- ways retalnlng their well-groomed appearance and sense of good humor. Hon. Spy was snooping a- round at the tournament taking men- tal notes on the subject and he decldely points the spot light with pride to the feminine members of our faculty as rating highest Ln the county, Our hats are off to them! 4 Thorns to those students who just can't get .up soon enough to get to school on time. Wonder why they can't get up any ear- l1er?? Now if they rode on e school bus they would have to get up sooner or else walk to school. Do you -suppose that lO minutes after school will help any??? A broken down car isn't a very good excuse for oversleeping, is it girls??? Orchids to Mrs. Gregory for finally telling the biggest tall tale in Physics class. With Miles Jackson and Karl Dix, the expert tall tale tellers, no one else has a chance.' Does he, Mrs. Gregory? She has proof, too, boys, after all, that Biology class was present when the snake was cuffopen. Thorns to the snow drifts that keep interfering with the 'love- life' of certain EHS students. It's too bad for is it?l when the snow doesn't start to drift until along about midnight when 1t's time to go home. But then maybe she'll keep you over night!!! It's kinda nice to have her dad to pull you out of the snow drift next morning, too, 1sn't it Bob?? Orchids to those fstudents who live in town for coming to school regardless of wind, snow drifts, and ice. Not all arrived but good for those who did. After all the teachers don't like to be the only people at school when it's the least little bit drifted or icy and the school buses can't get in. . Orchids to the Seniors for having such a large number of their class members on the Decem- ber honor roll. Let's keep up the good work Seniors! 'C r 'QW hit ZIGLE fhffbf H G.. N5a Q. v' XQS, Ov 24' Xk 4 ' I O9 CRUMBS AND CRACKEHS Have you noticed K. Dix always site in the back of the assembly, very near the teacher's desk at noon?? Stick around a little longer, Karl, you might manage an E i in band next month. One never knows, does one???? Do you suppose Mr. Glbsonwould be thinking of, starting a dog kennel?? The reason I suspect it is---would you believe itll' Lo and Behold!! At the Center game Mr. Gibson walked ln, sat down, pulled a dog book out of hlspakf et, and ignored the world around him!!! Did you know that Shirley L. has characteristic mannerisms which 'indicate that she might belong to the Junior Class? At any rate, she wears a Jr. Class ring. Have you noticed Junior S. has another shlner? If some guydoes- n't lose his temper and haul off with a right swing, he walks right in, the path of 'Big Dave R1ebe11ng.' ' FLASHlll I heard M. Collins not only writes the sports column for the school papmy but she also participates in the noon basket- ball program. Watch this gall! She might turn out to be a Wdark horsen and win the sectional for use I wonder why the same charac- ters are playing opposite each other in the Sr. play??? Karl, d1dn't you know that Margaret has a sailor on her list? Remember the Navy's tough competition. Why won't Barbara C. type on any other typewriter but the Un- derwood?? Gee, I wish we could all have our choice. Jane is going to have to meet B. H. half way. Gas tanks nowa- days just won't stand those 50 mile trips three times weekly. From the looks of that eye, Phillips, there must be some guy around E. H. S. with a' hotter temper than yours. Wonder who it could be???? It must be wonderful,B. Knotq that Martha Rearick lives within walking distance from your house. Convenient 1sn't 1t??? Say, from what I hear, that -guy- Ben Holdren really gets a- roundlli By the way, who's his latest flame?? I hear that a date with B. Walters on Friday night is liable to end up being a weekend affair ---if there are too many snow drifts to go through. Just ask Helen Cooley if this 1sn't true. Mildred Johnson certainly is interested in the whereabouts of N. Holdren. She even called him, on the telephone one day con- cerning his absence from schoollt Mildred, you are sort of in Twlla Sm1th's territory aren't you???2 P.T.A.

Wilson, who is home on furlough from Fort Jackson, South Carolina talked to us Wednesday,Jamary 17, about farming in North Africa and Italy where wheat and barley is sown by hand as in Biblical tirves. The grain is harvested with a sickle and bound by hand. In some places the grain is thresh- ed by a flail on a clean, hard surface, then tossed in the air to separate the grain from chaff. Pfc.
