Elislainrj Down by the river side, Sitting on a log, I spied a little fish And a big fat frog. Out of the rushes, A little snake crawled, The big frog croaked, And the little fish sprawled. I sat on the bank I And pulled out a worm, But while trying to hook it, It started to squirm. I threw in my line And waited a. while, But soon fell asleep- Which was just my style. I woke with a start And pulled in my line, Which swished o'er my head And hung on a pine. I crawled up the bank, And soon reached the tree, But on my shoulder Did light a small bee. I raced for the river But the bee still sat, I jumped and swam And lost my hat. I emerged from the river, And there in my boot Was a cold slippery thing, But I cared not a hoot. I took down my line And pulled out ct sucker, Which had got in my boot, And was good for supper. The Music Goes Bound I am a young boy who has just turned fifty-six.

,A -U L- -,, ,7,,v-,- -... .-...--...-- - The Wiener Roast The scene ,was set at Hoelscher's gra- vel pit. Around a bright fire sat the characters. The occasion was the annual High School weiner roast. The students assembled at the school and then proceeded to the hollow where they -were entertained by each f0I'If1 in turn. Original songs, Grade 13's RHdi0 program, sponsored by 'fiUlCS Tilly TH- blets and guaranteed to CHIC all ail- ments, plus Grade 11's playlets and ustuntsn added merriment to the pro- gram. Then came the feature attrac- tion of the evening. Delicious hot dogs caused everyone to smile with content- ment. The curtain lowered with the singing of the National Anthem, Taps, and a rousing school cheer. -KATHLEEN LORCH, COMMERCIAL The Graduation Dance It was the graduation dance, the last dance of the year, and excitement was reaching a high pitch. The finishing touches had been ,put on the decora- tions, rods for the clothes checkers brought, and all the last-minute details looked after by hard-working commit- tees. The auditorium had been trans- formed into an enchanting ballroom with softly-shaded lights and attractive blue and white decorations. Huge bows adorned the balconies, and streamers hung in 'Criss-cross fashion above our heads. There were intriguing lamp- shades which were made of wood carved to 'form the. letters E. H. S. A large school crest adorned the stage. Shortly after nine o'clock the rousing strains of a familiar orchestra were heard. The music was very good and soon the room was a scene of gay festi- vity. During the evening, one of the dances was dedicated to the boys who are joining the forces: Murray Hein- buch, .Stewart Huehn, Albert Lorch, Ralph Robbins and Donald Snyder. Good luck to them! Dux Hallowe'en Party The night of October 29 was one of fun and frolic for us students of the E, H. S. and a lot of outsiders while we went Western for one night. We decided to hold our annual Hal- lowe'e,n party in the form of ga barn dance, and the gay farmers, farmer- ettes, and dairy maids promenading here and dipping and diving there certainly gave the desired atmosphere, while several outsiders voluntarily supplied the appropriate music and calling out. A grand imitation spider unsuccessfully crawled up a web of thread in one corner and made many shiver, while cats, jack-o-lanterns and witches decorated the surrounding walls. A grand march started the night off, followed by various old-time dances with ordinary dancing in betweeng the popular music was supplied by a wurlitzer. Initiation was enjoyed f?J and I'm sure everyone who was there wgll agree that the kids got their dose o it. We felt that our committees had suc- cessfully achieved something different in the line of Hallowe'en parties. -J1-:AN BRUBACHER, XA li. The Valentine Dance Friday, February 19, saw the gym decorated with white ruffled red hearts, fat dimpled cupids and slender red and white streamers. It was the night of the Valentine Dance, a new extra-curricw lar activityn, sponsored by the Athletic Society. The coat-checking committee were in a slight flurry over the loss of the coat-checks and the soft-drinks committee were continually rushed, but apartifrom that everything went very smoothly. Music was supplied by Nellis,.Wagar's orchestra, which inci- dentally was very good. Couples danced to the strains of Star Dust and 'Gjivedn to The Downtown Strutter's All too soon twelve o'clock rolled Ballv. ammdr--Afwromr'Nmimdr' h' -b'rUug'lTV1lrfrr0rrlyftU01 lusty school yell showed the students' approval of an evening of sheer enj-oy- ment., V-MARY WOZNUK, GRADE XII .w.sl. . short evening to a close and E.
