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!!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two-hundred streamers were made and sold to the enthusiastic high school and grade 'rooters.' It wasn't unusual to see a student chasing a Senior down the hall in order to purchase a streamer. p The idea of making the stream- ers orginated in Mrs. Eastman's 'brillant' bookkeeping class. After having conceived the idea, the pursuit of the project hbggan, The class members swung into action. Crepe paper was purchased, The lumber yard was called and the sticks were carried ln, The banners rolled off as a result of the assembly line pro- cedure amld the 'piano banging' ln the shopl The banners were appreciated by the students who used them in the county tournament at the Muncie Field House.

Mr. Gibson chose three and Mr. Hall took the field. They wrote sealed them in an the utmost secrecy. consented to hold their bets and envelope with Mrs. Eastman the bets with the reward of drinking a coke with the winner. We won't embarrass Mr. Gibson by dlvulging the names he wrote on the paper, but we will go so far as to say that he honored his own school by selecting Eaton as one contender for the title. In any event, Mr. Hall won the bet, and Mr. Gibson's dollar. Clnci- dentally, she hasn't received the coke yet.I NORSEMEN SPORTS ACTIVITIES EATON BLACKSOUT On Friday, 'December 16 Eaton basketball squad the ice and snow in order to to Redkey to play a game with the wolves. It was a rough and hard played game as well as s fast one as the Eaton crew tangled with the Red- key five. However, the Norse brought home a victory with the score standing at 55 to 26. The wolves willing but inept performers were unable to keep up the pace with the Norse as they were behind at the close of the half 17 to 15. From this point the Wolves gradually gained and came within one point of' the Norsemen. Then the Norse broke loose and ran the score up 15 points and Redkey never was able to threaten seriously again. . There was much fouling! Red- key had three men with four fouls and Eaton had four men with four fouls when the game finished. Our second team squad lost to the Redkey 'B' team 19 to 14. G F.T.

This was the ,Norsemen's second loss on foreign floors and their third in eight starts. Coach Hal1's men played the game under a handicap since Rei- beling, one of the regulars who has averaged 10 points per game in seven starts, was absent from the squad because of illness. The Norsemen showed their greatest power in the first quar- ter when the Tigers were permit- ted to gain only a two-point margin with the score standing 7 to 5. The Tigers went on to hold the lead at the half 18 to 15 and continued to improve their position throughoutthelast half. The game ended with the score- board reading 55 to 25 in favor of Yorktown.

A h The Norsemen got away to an early lead with Huffman starting the leather pouring through the hooks to gain a reward of 9 to 4 at the close of the first period. Eaton had the better of it through the continuation of the g8.lI1eo Coach Hall, by continually substituting, employed reserves after the first quarter to give all players a chance in the scor- ing. It was a smoothly-played game with no one going out of the game via the personal foul route. The Spartans were mediocre in fast and shlfty plays in comparison to their 45-44 squad and were unable to put the anchor on the Norsemen who sailed calmly through the af- fair. Monroe got 14 points for the host club, Dave Riebellng scored 11 and Lewellen 10 for the win- ners. Seven Eaton players broke into the scoring. The second team game was won by Center 24 to 19.
