Ptxge 6 STEEL DUST JOURNAL October 13, 1944 JOKES Colonel Stoopnagle’s Daffynitions Brief steak: What you get at the butch- er’s these days. Brigadear: A female officer of the mili- tary. Cashualty: Dead broke. Idollartry: Excessive attachment to dough. Bargument: Discussion with one foot on the brass rail. Scoff spring: A child who doesn't think that his parents are so hot. Madsltipman: A sailor who doesn't get shore leave. Czargeant: A three-striped despot of the Army. Sprinster: Cltastc but chased. Correspurndent: She won’t answer your letters. 1 owe a great deal to that lady. “Your mother?” No, my landlady.” “My brother takes up French, Span- ish, Scotch, English, Swedish, Hebrew, and Italian. My word! Where does he study? “Study? He don’t study. He runs an elevator.” “What’s the matter?” “Why, I sold an article on ‘Fresh Milk’ and the editor condensed it. One teacher was so boring in her classes that two empty seats got up and walked out. A closet is a place where a girl keeps most of her clothes when she is dressed up. PO: “Chief, there is an applicant here who said he used to make his liv ing by sticking his right arm into a lion’s mouth.” OPO: “Interesting. What's his name ?” PO: “Lefty.” Use Lumbo Soap. Doesn’t lather, doesn't bubble, doesn’t clean. Its just company in the tub. Josephine’s JMom: “Josephine, ain’t that soldier never goin’ home?” Josephine: “He says he’s in the com- mandos. Mom, and he’s gotta wait ’till dawn.” £OYS” Boys are what girls marry! Boys have two hands, two feet, and sometimes two girls, but never more than one dollar or one idea. Like paper books, they are all made of the same material; the only difference is some are better disguised than others. Generally speaking, they may be di- vided into three classes: husbands, bach- elors, and widowers. A bachelor is a negligible mass of obstinacy entirely sur- rounded by suspicion. Husbands are three types: prizes, surprises, and conso- lation prizes. Making a husband out of a man is one of the highest forms of plastic sur- gerv known to civilization. It requires science, sculpture, common sense, faith. hope, and charity . . . mostly charity. If you flatter a man, you frighten him to death. If you don’t, you bore him to death. If you permit him to make love to you. he gets tired of you: and if you don’t, he gets tired of you, any way. If you wear gay colors, rouge and a startling hat, he hesitates to take you out, if you wear a little brown beret arid a tailor-made suit, he takes you out and stares all evening at a woman in gay colors, rouge and a startling hat! If you are the clinging vine type, he doubts whether you have a brain. If you are a modern, advanced, intelligent girl, he doubts whether you have a heart. If you are silly, he longs for a bright mate. If you are brilliant and intellec- tual. he longs for a play mate. A boy is just a worm in the dust. He comes along, wiggles around for a while, and finally some chicken gets him. (Do the boys have an answer to this one!) So. A girl is a maid, A maid is a servant. A servant is a serf, A serf is a vassal. A vessel is a yacht, Yachts are expensive things! What do you think girls.are? After a sailor had followed two girls for sev eral blocks, one of them turned to h:fi and ''aid: You stop following us. or else—” “Or else what?” asked the sailor. , “Or else get another sailor.” replied the girl. “There they arc, sir. now what? Priority on Sugar? (This romantic tale was formulated in the mind of one of the students as she peered into the candy case at our Froe- bel Drugs.) Baby Ruth and Big Yiuik walked the City Blocks in a Blizzard to buy a Milk Shake. His Tootsie Roll, a blond little ll'liiz. was really a Malteser. She was Smooth Sailing along and suddenly spied Jolly Jack. “Oh. Henry!” exclaimed Baby Rath, “here comes my Dream Man.” He knows eveyrthing from 1 to l.” Big Yank was getting furious— “That Snicker is nothing but a Butter Vinner—the old Fluff. I’ll teach the big Ham—taking away my Big Bonus. Come here and take your Honest Square. Big Yank gave Jolly Jack a Mi'ky Whip but Big Yank got a few bW- k Wbikers and was knocked into Mars. This almost put him on the Milky Way. Jolly Jack gave Big Yank his Ration Bar and took Baby Ruth by the arm and said, “Let’s take the Charleston Chew- Chew and go to the Log Cabin for an Honest Square meal.” Really, they had fun! You should have seen them do the Tango. Baby Ruth had a Denver Sandwich and a Seven-Up. “I am Affectionately Yours. Tootsie Roll.” exclaimed Baby Ruth. She Snicker-ed, “Don’t make a Mound- urn out of a mole hill—what would my husband, Clark, say to this? Angie Elmas: “If I marry you, Rudy, will you let me keep my job at the office? Rudy Alaback: “Will I let you? Dearest, I am depending on it!” Artemis: “Hev. looking for a man? Stella: “Yes. Artemis: “Do you want me to dig you up a few?” Stella: “No: I want a live one.” Nurse: “Deep breathing, you under- stand, destroys microbes.” A. Terek: “But nurse, how can I force them to breathe deeply?” ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!! WHAT’S THIS WE HEAR ABOUT A “BOW-WEEK” ' COMING TO FROEBEL???

October 13, 1944 SENIOR MEETING The Senior Class meeting was opened by the presiding chairman, Edwin Ga- jewski. Ballots were passed out immediately. The chairman presented the candidates for offices and also stated that nomina- tions from the floor would be accepted. Candidates for president, with no nominations from the floor, were Ed Yukl and John Baranko. Candidates for vice president, with no nominations from the floor, were Joan Gadbury and Amelia Drakos. Candidates tor secretary, with no nominations from the floor, were Dora Mackin and Dorothy Balash. Candidates for treasurer, with no nominations from the floor, were Christ Anastoff and Robert Cervantes. Robert, however, had to decline the nomination because he is an officer of the Euclidian Circle. Christ, therefore, was selected unanimously. Candidates for Social Chairman were Betty Andrey and Angeline Ra- mirez. Betty declined because she is an officer of the Business Club. Ann Pav- isich was nominated from the floor. Candidates for Student Council were Mildred Johnson, Garrett Cope. Lorraine Bobrik, Rose Polizzotto, Mary Libassi, Olga Kimoff and Gloria Gonan. The latter three had to decline, however, because according to Student Council ruling, anyone holding office in any other club, is not eligible for Stu- dent Council. For this reason, there were nomina- tions a second time, and these included Mildred Johnson, Garrett Cope, Wil- liam Lee, Lorraine Bobrick, Veronica Zimmerman, Ann Marencik, Rose Po- lizzitto, Arnold Bernstein and Violet Frankovic. Election results were: President, Ed Yukl; vice president, Joan Gadbury; secretary, Dora Mackin; treasurer, Christ Anastoff; social chairman, Ann Pavicich; Student Council, Garrett Cope, Lorraine Bobrik, Veronica Zim- merman, Ann Marencik and Arnold Bernstein. Following nominations and ballot? casting, the chairman asked for sugges- tions and ideas concerning means of raising money for the Senior Class. Some ideas were: To have a car- nival, a talent show, a Senior play, a Christmas card sale, or a food sale. These ideas were presented by Verona Huges, Garrett Cope, Gloria Gonan, Marge Zoumis, Rose Lulich and Rudy Alabach and other members of the Senior Class. STEEL DUST JOURNAL Junior Class Class come to order. That’s the voice of Andy Poulis calling the Junior Class to order. Andy was the class presi- dent last year, and was given the job of keeping order during the election of new class officers. Andy introduced Mr. Albright, who gave the class a short talk about sub- scriptions to The Steel Dust Journal and about the new printing press that has been purchased by the school. The chairman of the nominating com- mittee, Jerry Polakis. asked that the nominees stand when their names were called. The nominees were: President, Andy Costakis and Ed Komasarcik; vice president Pete Kovalenko and Anne Feryo; secretary, Gasparine Pampalone and Olga Belkow; treasurer, Sylvia Co- gclia and Chris Angelidis; social chair- man, Stella Demos and Sylvia Enoshell; publicity chairman, Jerry Polakis and Alice Romanow; Student Council, Nell Craig, Nick Stevoff, Joan Micco- lis, Phil Pietrzak, Tom Chakos, Mike Shrendrick, Artemis Kyros and Dorothy Julius. Andy asked for nominations from the floor. They were: President, Sam Bain; vice president, Ted Izak; secreta- ry, Richard Wallace; treasurer, Joe Ko- valak; social chairman, Hubert Robert- son : Student Council, Mike Berta. Mrs. Stewart talked to us about our class activities such as the Pow Wow, the Prom, and our selling of Christmas pen- cil boxes. Mrs. Stewart informed us that we could get the slips for our class rings from Mr. Chamberlain. Then some students were sent out to count the votes. Junior officers elected for 1944-45 are: President, Edward Komisarcik; vice president, Pete Kovalenko; secre- tary, Gasparine Pampalone; treasurer, Joe Kovalchik; publicity, Alice Ro- manow; Student Council, Nell Craig, Nick Stevoff, Joan Miccolis, Dorothy Julius and Mike Berta. The Junior Class sponsors are: Mrs. Lenora Stewart, Miss Marguerite Gohdes, Mr. C. H. Chamberlain and Mr. Val Aurit. The Senior play idea was dismissed because, according to the school ruling, 20 per cent of the Senior Class does not? fill the requirement. The food sale idea also was dismissed because of a school ruling that allows no food to be sold at school. Sponsors of the Senior Class are Mrs. Jones, Miss Southwick, Mr. Fisher and Mrs. Welsh. Page SOPHOMORES At a recent meeting, the Sophomore Class members were presented with a slate consisting of: President, Catherine Taseff and William Poulos; vice presi- dent, Mary Kopcik and Jeanette Marck- ese; secretary, Mary Jane Kozma and Victoria Swalla; treasurer, Ruben Her- nandez and Richard Smolnicky; social chairman, Lillian Pipas, Mary Jane Hric and Joan Ward; Student Council, Helen Ply, Ann Pividori, Mary Zeher- alis, Martha Zamora, Ruth Gordon. Bill Mamclson, Paul Domonkos and Manuel Mendez. After the ballots were carefully count- ed the winners were: Catherine Taseff, president; Jeanette Marckese, vice pres- ident; Mary Jane Kozma, social chair- man; Helen .Ply, Bill Mamelson, Ruth Gordon, Martha Zamora and Manuel Mendez for Student Council. The Sophomore Class is under the sponsorship of Miss Georgia Bopp, Miss Eleanor Deal, Mr. Harvey Knesek and Miss Eloise Brooner. FRESHMAN MEETING For president, we had George Demos, George Daicoff and Joe Pollack running, and the new Freshman presi- dent ior 1944-45 is George Daicoff! We had quite a tussle over the candidates for vice president, but we fi- nally came up with Frank Miccolis. Frank’s competition was Willie Thom- as, Martin Reyes and Saverio Amatulli. Betty Jane Romak and Irene Piet- razk were the candidates that ran against Jean Vavra, the new secretary. The treasurer, lucky girl, is Mildred Cugal, and I'm telling you she and Eloise Keleman, who opposed her, were just trembling with excitement, ’cause, after all, that is a pretty important job. Whew! Then we had the real strug- glethc office of social chairman. Bessie Georgeson and Rose Kobernick were picked out of the six who ran. The other candidates were Josie Cammarata, Marie Alvarez, Sarah Elmas and Joe Varella. The Freshmen then proceeded to elect their Board of Control members. The candidates were: John Sanches, Isadore De Orta, Christ Gastrevich, Dorothy Kish, Pete Bellesis, Dorothy Goudeau, Madeline Feryo and Wendell Chismudy. The top five were selected, and the Freshman representatives for the Board of Control are: John Sanchez, Isadore De Orta, Dorothy Kish, Pete Bellesis and Dorothy Goudeau.

October 13, 1944 STEEL DUST JOURNAL Page ? ELLEN EDUCES THAT . . . John Baranko has a Shaefer fountain pen which he values very highly, and often brags about. Mary Libassi has been wearing “pigtails” frequently to school. Janies McGee is “full of conceit” since he is on the front line of the foot- ball squad. Mrs. Jones and Miss Southwick were absent from school because of colds. Colds are catching people early this year. Beaux are very handy to have around (to wear in your hair). Mr. Knesek has been sacrificing hi 3:15 “free hour” to help Mrs. Welsh set up the printing press so The Steel Dust Journal can be produced. Olga Belkow wears a gold identifica- tion bracelet which she got for her birth- day. On the back it says “from Ida.” Angeline Rameriz dreams of “frog- skins” since she is temporary business manager of The Steel Dust Journal. A debate class has been organized in Froebel. The Froebel cheering section at foot- ball games is very small. Miss Beall has introduced a riew game, called speedball, to the girls’ gym classes. Dorothy Marasky and Dorothy Ki- fela wore skirts and sweaters just alike recently. Mary Zeheralis has blue eyes. Dimitrois may be “Greek” to you, but to Jim Thomas, it’s his name. Miss Gohdcs can’t get her second year typing class to follow’ directions. Ann Suglove is hall guard in front of the auditorium the seventh hour. When football tickets are being sold, it only takes two minutes to get a line of fifty people, but when it comes to subscriptions, it’s a different story. Mr. McAllister has some clock- watchers in his 12:15 economics class. They are the ones who have one o’clock lunch. Veronica Zimmerman wore a dress with seven buttons on it. Mr. Cusmano postponed the test in bookkeeping instead of giving it on Monday. Pop’s on ice. But, we can’t find Mom! Report cards are out this week. Viola Schmitt visited the journalism class, and also attended the F. B. C. meeting, and talked about the WAVES. She sang three lovely songs for the mem- bers of the F. B. C. Gloria Gonan: “They all laughed when I sat down at the piano—someone had removed the bench!” FROEBEL’S BAND What’s w’rong with the Froebel Band ? Why don’t they march to our football games like the bands from the other schools? Those are the questions that the students in Froebel School are asking. Hearing „those questions, we sent one of our reporters to interview Mr. Resur, the school’s maestro. After asking him several questions, he an- swered that there has been somewhat of a difficulty—a majority of the members did not have band at the concert hour. Therefore, last W’eek, Mrs. Fezko c! ar.ged as many programs as possible. Now the other big problem is to get a substitute, Mr. Teeter, to take Mr. Brilla’s place. A new formation is all planned, and the only thing for the band to do is to practice until they are perfect. New members on the band are: Rudy Alabach, Steve Badylak, Theo- dore Berbas, Mike Kowaliw’ich, Irene Slovenka, George Servin, Martin Reyis, Anthony Pampalone, Frank Miccoles, George Kozaitis and Augustine Leone. Others who have helped keep up the fame of Froebel from the preceding years are: Seymour Abrams, Saverio Amatuli, David Ballerino, James Blat- sion's. Irene Bollog, Bill Chalos, Louis Chukney. Betty Cidulka, Jimmy Cou- gias. Herbert Cox, George Daicoff, Ray- mond Dian, Edw'in Gajewski.

ELECTION OUTCOME After two weeks of hesitation the Alpha G. A. A. members elected the following girls to office: Betty Ci- dulka, social chairman; Fanny Blat- sioris, handball; Vicky Kyros, bowling, and Joan Miccolis, badminton and deck tennis. Handball now is in session. Here’s wishing the newly elected chairmen luck with their new ventures! CO ED BIG SUCCESS The lights were low and the music was slow when the Alpha G. A. A. Co- Ed started this season. Some of the stu- dents wanted Co-Ed to start the first week of school. Imagine! Gosh! We didn’t even have any records or lights, so we got B-U-S-Y. We were going simply crazy, shopping downtown, get- ting the gym ready and telling all the Alpha G. A. A.’s about coming to Co- F.d. Then came the night Co-Ed was to start. The committee got there at 6:30 and had the cloakroom and the gym ready. At 7 on the dot we started the Victrola. Students began to pour in, or should we say, the girls began to pour in. Finally, by 7130, some boys came, and by 8 we had 107 persons present. Many freshmen came (who said they were green?) and asked us to teach them to dance. Boy! Are they fast learners! Then came 9 o’clock, and it seemed as if Co-Ed had just begun. The lights were out and everyone left. Co-Ed is an Alpha G. A. A. project and w'as started several years ago. The main purpose of Co-Ed is to get the boys and girls to dancing together and keep them off the streets. It has been sug- gested to us that we have refreshments at Co-Ed. So w’e are going to try to have them for the next Co-Ed, which probably will be next Tuesday. We also intend to have mixers and Grand Marches at Co-Ed. We don’t know- how it will turn out, but we hope for the best. And we also hope that all Alpha G. A. A.’s will come to Co-Ed from now- on? . . . OK? STELLA DEMOS, Co-Ed Chairman. THE BETA G. A. A. The Beta G. A. A. now is in readi- ness for its social and athletic activities. Many ideas soon will materialize. The n'embers are eager to make this year a bang-up year for success. We wish to achieve much and with the full co-oper- ation of everyone our goal should be easily reached. Freshman girls arc urged to hurry and earn their required 100 points to be eligible for admittance into the Beta G. A. A. This fall there are various sports in w’hich one may participate, such as handball, paddle tennis, horseshoe and tennis. Surely some of these sports should- fit your individual likes. As yet there aren’t many Freshmen participat- ing in these sports. What is the matter, Freshmen? We want you in our organ- ization ; in fact, every girl in high eshool should be a member of the G. A. A. Come o.., T.whmen, and all you other girls who are ont in the Beta G. A. A.
