The reg1onal draws near SPECIAL DAYS AUGUST 25 This morning as we came to the study hall we gazed a round and saw some pretty, some new, and some old famlllar faces Then our thoughts turned to the fact that thls was the start of the final year of school Will it be the best year of our school or will it Just be work, work, and more work? Then our thoughts went back to the time when we were seventh and eighth graders It had been hard work, but it had been fun The bell rang and our thoughts settled into their rightful place as our new principal, Mr Richer, came to the front of the assembly SEPTEMBVR 9 Was it the sun that kept us awake 1n the study hall today? No, it was the dazzllng smile of the Juniors as they looked wlth admlratlon at their shining new class F1385 The rlngs, sure ly, cast a powerful spell on the school, for we trounced North western in baseball 8 to 2 that afternoon OCTOBER ll We left school thls morning with glad hearts and veiled threats rlnging ln our ears This was the day that we were to have our pictures taken at Kokomo We pald little or no attention to the instructions that we be back at noon or else. After our picture taking was done, we visited the local recreation halls and ended up seeing a show. We came back to Greentown, thinking we had not only pulled the wool over their eyes but the whole sheep as well. 62 I'l ff' Y' SENIOR DAY OCTOBER l2 The senlors came to school this morning feeling a little sheeplsh about yesterday afternoon As usual Mr Rlcher gave the announcements for the day We were all beglnnlng to chuckle and smlle at one another thinklng he wasn't going to say anything to us His last announcement was nS6DlOTS report to room 25 Naturally we thought he would say a few words and send us on our way We walked lnto room 25 and sat down and walted and walted, but no Mr Rlcher Then the true genius of our class began to show up, for unknown to the school we had some composers ln our midst Soon were all singing to the tune of 'Working On The Railroadu the followlng words WWe've been sltting in the schoolroom all the live long day We've been sitting ln the schoolroom just to pass the time away Can't you hear the teachers shoutlng, Seniors shut your mouths ?H Slnce thls song had no effect, we swung lnto a lively tune Wwhere are you now that we need you? Where are you?H There he was! The songwrltlng genluses had brought results, but not the rlght klnd, for he said that we mlght stay ln the room for the rest of the day and that we were to make N0 NOIDE There was a tired bunch of senlors at the flnal bell OCTOBER 26 Oh, hum! The mornlng was very slow and dreary and by noon everybody was almost asleep Woops! My mistake! There 13 a mad rush for the offlce, by the sophomores Now, what? They say curiosity kllled the cat, but I didn't have to walt long, because my curlosity was soon satisfled, for into the assembly strutted a sophomore wlth chest expanded and head held high Oh, what a glare! The sun's reflection on their blue and gold sweaters lighted the whole room, dazzling all of us The rest of the day the sophomore class was the light of the school 65 NOVEMBER 10 Nhewl saved by the SKID of my teeth because that test sure would have been rough The Dramatlc Club saved the day by giv ing a program They gave some sketches whlch were enjoyed very much FEBRUARX 5 The Communlty Civic Center opened last nlght wlth dance which attracted people of all ages For the grand opening Evelyn Collins and her fine orchestra supplled the muslc There were many couples seen glldlng across the floor Refreshments were furnlshed by the merchants Mr Nicholas Richer, our prlncipal, gave a short speech and the master of ceremonles was Mr Boerrlgter lS the Valentlne Dance in the newly opened Civic Center The dance is sponsored by the Senlor Blu Tri There wlll be places for you to vote for your favorlte glrl for queen Judy Imbler was elected Queen of the Valentine Dance with a court of Marllyn Petty, Mary Ann Peters, and Sue Tygart The dance was a success with the magorlty of the high school showing up and casting thelr ballots FEBRUARY 25 Greentown came out on top in the sectional by edging out Kokomo 48 to 47 After the game the Greentown fans bullt a bon fire in the center of town which lasted about one and one half hours with flames reachlng as high as the top of the buildlngs The fire was fed by boxes, papers, and wood contributed by the merchants The Howard County News prlnted an extra edition which ran screaming headllnes across the front and filled the pages with plctures o4 , . . . . a FEBRUARY ll. Things are in a state of excitement today, for tonight MY FUNNIEST EXPERIENCES Probably the most embarrasslnv, mixed up sltuation for a young whlpoersnapper is to be caught ID a Hallowe'en prank or even to be hunted on Hallowe'en It was as if all the people were awake and looklng for would be LTICKSLETS My most embarrassing and costly prank was on Ha1lowe'en night, 1948 Some bold and fearless boys and I were crawling along on the ground toward Kepner's watermelon patch at the old pumplng statlon north of Greentown, by the ceme tery The talk around town was that none of our other COMPBDIOHS had stolen any watermelons from thls heavily guarded area, but you know boys we were determined to get a seat full of shot or some watermelons We were in the midst of a few rows of corn Just by the patch when a strong spotllght glared across the field I fell to the ground and hugged it as if I were in a hole After about two minutes of our sllent lying there, the spotllght went off, but now a new fear came upon me for there was a man walking toward us with a flashllght He was looking at his melons One was gone, I had that one with me He started looking in the corn and walked right past me, actually stepplng on my leg He finally gave up and went back to h1s house we got flV6 or SlX more melons and were soon ln the cemetery again We were gorging ourselves when a car pulled up Mr Kepner stepped out and said, WYou young customers owe me 3 40 or the melons you have gust purchased from my watermelon patch N Well, now, nobody knew what had tlpped hlm off but we were surely in a fix so we all dug deep and flnally scraped together enough pennies to pay for our loot we had thought before we went on our hunting spree that we were sly and couldn't get caught! If I were to choose the slyest man, it would be Mr Kepner funny instances It was a bright mornlng and I was rather down hearted, for going to Mrs Smith's class wlthout your lesson was al most suicide Well, the class started off all right and then I was called on to read a Latin sentence Having not studied lt, I did not know anything about it There was one l1ttle word, tereo, which had me stumped CThey told me it meant to scare J Then Mrs Smith asked me for an Engllsh derivatlve I thought and I thought, but I couldn't get my mlnd on Latin It all looked like Greek or German as far as I was concerned So I thought I would try to be funny and get out of it I thought of S0m8th1ng that meant to scare so I said, Boo! Once, at the Gulf statlon while we were talking about a basket ball game, I dropped off to sleep in the big easy chair When I awoke, I found there was a very strong draft blowlng 1n on me, but it wasn't blowing in, it was blowlng out For whlle I was slumber ing away, somemmscled nmn had picked my chair up and had carried me about a block away from the station putting a sign on my chair, WDO not Disturb When I finally awoke, I was the most embarrassed kid in town When I was ln about the fourth grade, I was at home playing outdoors on a flne Saturday and decided to go 1nto the house mother was working in the kitchen and on the cabinet was a big plater of white stuff that looked exactly like ice cream so without asklng mother Cwh1ch I should have donel I took a blg spoon and dip ped myself a n1ce helplng I sat down at the table and took a big bite I was never more surprised I was so nearly sick that I couldn't do anything but run outside and spit out this awful tasting ice cream But it wasn't ice cream at all It was lard b5 . 8. f ' .
