Orchids to Spring gliding in with a three point landing, which malls the senior girls on their :hopping tours for graduation slcthes, set to flatter like mad! Thorns to those 'little city nparrows in brown business suits zalking the day over on a branch nf the tree at the corner of the mssembly. It is so distracting zo one's mind, one is not able to :oncentrate on one's studies. Orchids to all the spring ro- kancers sitting on pink clouds gazing at the stars, the spend- mrift jewelry of evening. k Thorns to the Senior boys who ried to steal some pictures for he yearbook from Mary Jane Cox. pow, llr. Gibson, if you had merely gsked Mary Jane for one of those ntrlguing Pictures it would hue een much simpler. Orchids to the person or per- ons responsible for the class asketball tournament. That's ood experience for the reserve same and also the varsity. Thorns to Frances Vance for ailing to purchase typing paper. very day she comes to Typing lass and asks, 'Does anyone have ny typing paper?' Jeepers, ances, can't you 'get some'of ur own??? Orchids to the trustee, W.

Mr. Gibson is very careful to make an explicit distinction be- tween a four-legged deer and a two-legged dear when teaching his Junior History Class. Wonder why he thought our Junior boys might confuse 'deer' and 'dear'!! Why! This is the twentieth century, Sir!!! Did you know that Miss Cochran is trying to teach ababy advanced algebra??? She is sure having a great time of it. Goo Goo, Norvallj Say, is Mr. Gibson really a teacher of history and Latin or home economics? if you want to foods and 'make ure' just visit Class! From what has taken place in physics class, one might wonder about the I.Q. of certain stu- dents. Karl, the contour of the land is geography, not photogra- phy!--a senior at that! Have you ever wondered what to do if your love affair doesn't go just right? If so, just ask R. ,gEa'Dorothy Dix' Gibson. I heard h' giving love advice to a 'guy' yesterday!! ' ' Just a suggestion to all soph- omore, junior, and senior girls without steadies. Why not wait on the casanovas in the Freshman Class? Not a bad idea, I'd say. Have you noticed every time the fleet comes in Rosemary H.' misses- a day or two of school, but we don't blame you, Rosy, 1t's worth being absent one or two days at least. Anyway, girls, know how to can housework apleas- the J unior History Jane Norrick's most common phrase while working on the Lens is Wle must have a streamer! We must have a atreamerl' P.S. we have the streamer.' She's happy now. . t.

That ukulele comes in pretty handy doesn't lt? H STUDENT: How can you have a 'Bound Table' discussion around a square table? MRS. WALLACE: The table 1en't square 1t's rectangular!!! Wonder why Norma A. walked home from B.F.'s birthday party alone. There must be too many dark streets along the way for Harry. u Just a mere suggestion, but I think Barbara Nixon and Becky Mc- Kinley are very good prospects for future yell leaders. Did you notice the acrobatic work per- formed at the high school tourna- ment?? It was really OKAY + Wonder what Mr. Gibson meant the other day in History class by saying that there were nowolves around here. Heap big JOKE!!!!!! llargaret Collins, !fyou're go- ing to tell a Joke, please get it straight. How can we get the point if you 'muddle' the Joke? Have you heard the latest?-- Dave Riebeling sleeps with the cats!! up M., Gi Wow ww wry Q. -Y.'sLS Have you sown your sweet.peae yet? Have you walked under s ladder lately? Have you come to the decision 'March Comes in Like a Lion' land we hope it goes out like a lambl? If so, you may store your red flannele till next W1ntBre - Many of 'our stately elders have clung to this superstition devoutedly but youth ponders over it with a skeptical look. Dust- -ing off the World Almanac, there- in is found a paragraph on tha .winter of '56' when it was 20 de- grees below zero the last of Feb- ruary and the first of March. -It happened once: it could happen again!!! ' So perhaps, if given time, our new, youthful, generation will eventually overpower this phen- omenal idea and let Mother Nature swing the seasons just as she plans them, regardless of the climatic atmosphere wh1oh.happens to prevail on March first, second ,or third.
