THE FACULTY Of all the elements that the crew of the Scholarship must brave, the one that is sometimes most obstructive and yet at other times most helpful, is the faculty. The Class of 1933 feels indebted to, and attributes its success, to a great extent to the continued efforts of each member of the faculty, and it is with sincerest grati- tude that we express our appreciation-of our pilot and chief executive, jordan Larson, who has so efficiently managed the school system for two years, and has shown real enthusiasm in all school activities, of our principal and chief disciplin- arian, Miss Irene Sterrett, who in this capacity is deeply concerned with the welfare of every member of the crew, of our matchless sponsor, Miss Sue Dodd, head of the English Department, who for two years has continually sympathized with our failings and infirmities, and encouraged our abilities, and has kept us as one harmonious family, of Miss Maggie Gray, who as head of the Mathematics Department, with her fine ability helped us absorb the fundamentals and intrica- cies of mathematics, of Miss Josephine Thielen, supervisor of girls' athletics and French classes, whose magnetic personality makes her the idol of every basketball girl, of Miss Ruth Dodd, on whom as sponsor of the junior class, rests the respon- sibility of exalting our successors to seniorship, of Miss Ada Tollefson, who most efficiently supervises the Normal Training Department, of Miss Pearl Roberts, chef of the Scholarship, who manages the Home Economics Department, of Kenneth Wells, effective coach of football and track, who even succeeded in mak- ing senior girls absorb some of the principles of physics, of Lowell Carver, who energetically coaches basketball and teaches manual arts, of Miss Elaine Meikle, who coaches dramatics, and of Dillon Seyb, who collaborates with Miss Meikle in the Music Department , of Miss Carol Payne, who teaches high school geography, of Miss Audrea Price, who as general secretary, chief operator of the mimeograph and typewriter, and chief substitute for absent professors, is a real asset to the institution, of Robert Kaufman, chief of shovel and broom corps, who freely and willingly offers his services to accommodate everyone.

N e llie Kirkpatrick The student consultation and governing body of the Scholarship is made up of representatives from the Various organizations and is supervised by the high school principal. This august body has striven to prevent any niutinous conduct and to maintain peace and harmony Within the crew. If the Student council had accomplished no other thing for the 1932-1933 cruise, it could be proud of having organized the crew into a most sportsmanlike and enthusiastic cheering section to support its teams. 10 Nx 'sl X, I 11112 .

Lee Davis, Lucius Clark, VVilliam Stark, and Varina Des Marias were selected first mate and assistants. After setting sail and once more settling down to the routines of the ship, a large number of the crew turned their attention to activities. This year, as last year, members of the crew were given the opportunity of showing their ability as actors. Two plays, At 9:45 and Minick were pre- sented under the guidance of commanders Meikle and Dodd. At the beginning of the last six weeks of the journey, the crew was assembled and told that for the last few weeks they could enjoy senior privileges. Many times throughout the remainder of the journey the commander would have to remind the crew that talking while on deck was not permitted, and there was danger that privileges would have to be removed. Finally on May 25th the crew sighted the last part of the journey. On look- ing back over the four years spent on the K'Scholar Ship the crew will never forget the good .times enjoyed by them in spite of the work that was necessary to be done. il 'I' .U- Q miQ6C .e...ws:. ::9as..ozef-wsmwezv QQ.-Q-X 9 ' V 5- 'I wfle wee- , -3 K THE SPARFAN for 1933 :mmf s uxs xv, .34 V, ,rn J3- ,, l 3-,X , '53 96 ., ty, N x K N- A 'X' aeszaszv' :Q -6:5515 -:R Q: -s- 55?

Very naturally they were green and knew very little of the dangers of the voyage. As a result a few of the members were left behind but through skill- ful maneuvering of the ship, the remainder of the crew has kept the ship headed straight for the port Diploma, , The usual procedure of electing ship's officers was executed by the crew. This year Evelyn Crary received the position of iirst mate and Phyllis Dynes. Genevieve Kuhlman and Keith Canfield as second mate and assistants. They adopted Miss Ruth Dodd as their sponsor. Two years' experience had made the crew accustomed to the ship and they were better able to cope with the unpleasantries of the sea. This year an added attraction was offered. Members of the crew were allowed to show their ability as actors. After much preparation the play Girl Shyv was given. Many of the members reported for other activities. A great deal of ability was shown by the crew, and those who complete the cruise this year expect great things from this crew next year. Dawn of June lst saw the port Senior,' appear above the horizon. The crew landed and looked hopefully and longingly across the last stretch of water at the end of which lay the esteemed port Diplomaf' 21 rx! Q4 5 6 2 2 THE SPARTAN for 1933 N.. - sm.

They have successfully guided their craft through the channel of Inexperience and have kept the winds of Algebra, Latin, and English from blowing them from the course, although they lost a few of their members the first year. Before sailing the crew chose Adeline Price as first mate and Harold l'urvis and Carl Eggleston as second mate and assistant and Miss Roberts as official supervisor. To brighten the outlook for the months of labor lying ahead of them, many of the crew reported for activities such as athletics, music, and dramatics. The sailing was even more rough than the year before, the fog of History enshrouded the ship and the giant waves of English tossed it about. Suddenly a tremor ran through the ship. Pandemonium broke loose. The ship had run into the dreaded rock of Geometry. Finally the fog cleared and the sea became smooth once more. On inspec- tioni it was found that the ship had been somewhat damaged. The crew was assembled and roll-call was taken. lt was found that a few members of the crew' had again been left behind, but with stout hearts the remainder of the crew fought on. Then one May morning the port Junior hove into sight and the ship sped on its way. e 23- A X KE XXXF- 5 T ,mx ,. xt i ...R .QR , . lg- I, , Y 2 A : 1.525311 Q D1 lf 9 .. I -f C, .Is .I Im.

Most of the recruits join up for four years, but because of diffiiculties encountered enroute some require extra time to complete the cruise. The ship set sail on September. The lighthouse Sterret lighted the recruits through the channel of Inexperience and helped them avoid the rocks of Idleness and Trouble. The first duty performed by the crew was to elect a member to the ship's council. This post was awarded to Herman Cook. The newcomers had some difficulty in becoming acquainted with their new commanders, and in obeying their orders. but after several weeks of training they became fairly well accustomed to ship life. Trouble was encountered soon after sailing. The winds of Algebra, Latin, and English blew a few of the members from the course. After four and one-half months of this comparatively smooth sailing the storm clouds arose and the fury of examinations struck. The crew slipped and fell but staggered up and on. Thus they struggled until the storm broke and things became quiet and peaceful as before, although a few of the members had been washed overboard. Do not get the impression that the whole voyage was toil. At times the commanders would relax and the weight of duty was lightened by different ship activities and parties. Venturing farther and farther from shore each day and learning more and more from experience, these recruits are eager to become full Hedged sailors next year. 25 I, .M ' x ,I u fx ruff , x xfqm- V ' 1,73 V - R - . . . -- Brig-xc::,:aa,:aaamema:sxzrfrszzafarfewasfwemeiz-measwuetf-tegaxww Vw Q: 2 si 'f wa? wr - 9 J ' if 5 n 5 Q , 7 1 1 zpw. : THE SPARTAN for 1933 1 JA f In ' 'K I Af ' ---3-S ,,- . ff.

These are our bids for the limelight in the season's all around superiors. ELWOOD CONE Abie led the north half of the Iowa Cedar League in scor- ing. He was our mainstay in the backlield and carried the hardest job at fullback. Abie received that position on the all-league football eleven, and honorably men- tioned for all-state and northeast Iowa honors. Cone could always be found in the thick of it, and how he blocked and tackled! LLOYD GNAGY Gnag was the team's flash at halfback. I-Ie was awarded that position on the all-league team, on northeast Iowa team and on all-state third team. Gnag was noted for his long punts, which were often over sixty yards. Besides that he was a very clever open field runner, a fine long passer, and excel- lent at receiving short high passes. LEE DAVIS Lee was co-captain of the team and a fighting tackle. Lee took many hard knocks but always came back smiling. On the defense he was hard to move. On the offense he was a charging blocker. fLee's one Weakness was the inability to catch passes, punts, or what notj. MILLER STRACK Prof the other halfback and co-captain, came to his turn on the running. He was a fast man on the wide end runs, a nice blocker on off- tackle plays and punts. Prof tossed the short, high passes to Gnagy and never missed. Then, too, he used his ability to punt and dropkick. RUSSELL MAMMINGA Russ played end and was always going. He was on the receiving end of Gnagy's long passes and often hooked one. Russ played a charging end but knew when to slow down and was very seldom run around. ET CETERA Bunis ? Hero ? anyway the rest of the team. All had their ups and downs, and all were stars at one phase or other. At least they were in there working their best. 30 ui Q Y.

However since November eleventh, that's all been past, some deeds were done and some undone and now all we retain is memories. '4Ye sports editor usually has some thing to say about the season but not often do the coaches and players get to express their opinions and memories. VVith that in mind the coaches and players have summarized the season's games. GRUNDY CENTER 54iWIIITTEN 0 1 Our first encounter was with Wliitten, small, weak, but plucky. The Spartan team performed well and cherishes the memory of Gnagy's and Strack s long end runs, and the return of a kick-off and punt for a touchdown. GRUNDY CENTER 6-TNDEPENDENCE O The size of this new opponent was imposing, but the Spartan went to work and emerged with sandburrs and sandburrs. Cone played while out of his head Strack got off a long punt from back of the goal line, and Ware tackled the re ceiver in his tracks, Springer tossed a pass to Strack, who with the aid of good blocking, made a touchdown. Independence waged a hot aerial attack, but our defense held. GRUNDY CENTER 15-CONRAD O The team experienced its first night game and still thinks of Tiny's touch down on a blocked punt. Cone's fine line smashing, and the stopping of our end runs, the two seventy yard punts by Strack and Gnagy. It was the roughest game of the year. 31 '. , . ce 1-Q! - T N soaks ----- M- ------A A ---- Yam.. vnuzsmw.

GRUNDY CENTER 32-TRAER 0 The first league game of the year made the team recall the efficiency of their offense, Traer's first quarter attack, Gnagy's consistently long punts, the success of a new pass from Strack to Gnagy. Cone's smashing and points, Springer's sixty-four yard run in the last minute of play. Now We have revenge for last seasonls defeat. GRUNDY CENTER 6-CEDAR FALLs 7 From this hard game our over-confident team recalls Gnagy's long pass to Russ Mamminga, Roger's of Cedar Falls long run for a touchdown, the first half ending with the ball in our possession on Cedar Falls, one yard line, the smashing play of Russ M., at end, our failure to carpe diem. GRUNDY CENTER O-TEACHERS, HIGH 7 Now let's see, just what did happen in that game? Oh, yes, Gnagy threw a long pass to Russ, who caught it in the midst of his opponentsg Clark fumbled on the two yard lineg everything went poorly-team work, offense, defense, each was sluggish 5 we should've won but-. GRUNDY CENTER 9-ELDORA 0 We're ready to go again and are out to show ,em something. Anyway We got a freak safety on the first kickoff, the turning point, Diehl put up a slick de- fensive game 5 Gnagy had his first and only punt blocked and ran forty-five yards through tackle for a touchdown5 the last quarter was nerve racking, Soballe of Eldora kept up a continued hard smashing game5 the Spartan defense was both good and bad, but it worked 5 this game was our comeback and the hardest of the year. GRUNDY CENTER 33--TOLEDO 7 Toledo, our sole league victory of 31, was a puzzle to us, so we had to go to work and Russ Mamminga and Gnagy pulled a nice bit of head work on a fumbled placekick 5 Gnagy and Strack ran long end runs with huge successg Cone collected three touchdowns5 Toledo's slowest player intercepted a pass and ran eighty yards while Cone and Gnagy blocked each other out5 Gnagy made nearly every placekick5 we were going strong. GRUNDY CENTER O-REINBECK 6 The last game of the season was cold, windy, and full of snow Hurries. However, Cole of Reinbeck ran ninety yards for a touchdown on the first kick-off 5 Cone was injured and left the game in the Hrst half 5 Bailey and Coulson played well as Cone's subsg our backs slipped Cliterallyj at every opportunity 5 Gnag was in the open several times and slipped 5 the Spartans seemed superior in every way but scoring and thatls what counts.

The outlook for the coming season is quite favorable. Miss Josephine Thielen is again coaching and everything is rosy. MARCH 9, 1933 News feature: The Spartanettes complete a successful season, winning live games, losing four, and tying one. They scored 288 points to their opponents' 242 and averaged 28.8 points to a game to their opponents, 24.2. From the begin- ning to the end the Grundy girls' basketball team celebrated a joyful season. They played because they liked it and because they adored their coach, Miss Thielen. The Spartanettes worked enough and played enough, and although they had their ups and downs, they were no slouches by any means. This type of a basketball team, the envy of their opponents, produced a season of games like this-To begin with they met Conrad, December 3, 1932, on their own floor. From all expecta- tions the game should have been nip and tuck but the Spartanettes surprised everyone, perhaps even themselves, and won by a 43 to 32 score. Next on Decem- ber 19, they went to Reinbeck, their Nemesis. The girls seemed to be lost. They tried hard but the ball was too illusive and the season's first defeat was chalked up, Grundy 13, Reinbeck 26. But now, back again against Conrad, at Conrad on December 23. This game was even more of a runaway than the former one with 33 Xx q msn XXNNxxx-m-ewxxuwefsw.-awe'xv4mxmx'mxxmxxxxx'max-aemwmzexwmqiiQQ9Q,'w::cmxmxxwmwas -A 'K' ' ,.

Well, We did in a game well sprinkled with fouls and revealing Eldora's weakness. It was a run- away, 28 to 9. Then Wellsburg came down on January 24, determined to beat us as they had so often in the past. They were surprised for We turned the game into a thriller by coming from behind in the last quarter and tying the game 27 to 27. Whoopee! here comes February lO and Eldora wanting revenge I suppose, but they were badly disappointed, and were more badly defeated. Grundy ran up the biggest score of the season 55 to ll. The next evening Grundy journeyed to Wellsburg. There, much to our chagrin and disgust, we didn't come out so well. We were defeated 7 to 32, the worst defeat of the season. Well, Well, at last on February 23 we,re around to Reinbeck again and we are set on winning. The game was put and take with the outcome in doubt all the way through. Too bad it had to end in Reinbeck's favor 23 to 26. And now, Febru- ary 28 we're all pepped up to beat Laurel who are the '33 Marshall county champs. Maybe they weren't going so well or perhaps we were.'Anyway they were taken off their high horse at the rate of 32 to 24. At last March 9, and the sec- tional tournament. VVe are all set to play Aplington and to end or continue our season. To make a short story long we ended the season, 23 to 29. So far only the official doings of the team have been recorded and nothing has been said of individuals. Captain Varina Des Marias, a senior, served her second year as captain and did an excellent job of it. She played a very nice game of basketball at side-center and once in a while as guard. Bernis Rayburn, a senior, and six feet of basketball center, was another of our standbys as she came in very handy when the ball was almost too high to reach. In the guard positions are usually found Clara May Simms, a red headed fighting ball snatcher, and Lucille Price, captain-elect, who may look slow but was very hard to lose. As to the forwards, we're willing to put our two sophomores, Josephine Kerr and Jean Willoughby, up against any pair in the country, not necessarily at basketball. Oh yes, the subs with which no team can do without-three seniors, Winson Currie, a good player in the center court, Eileen Watkins, a short, but handy guard, and De Loris Albright, a forward, Those are the basketball letter Winners and the chief stars of the season. -Exeunt G ,- -M, 34 -C '-.-. ..

To the athletes of the school, who play basketball as well as football, is given a lay-off in which to recuperate. After the lay-off of two weeks, a basketball, another pig- skinl' of a different shape and size, is brought into use. The call is sent out by Coach Carver for recruits for the basketball squad. No one needs to be urged to play the game, the sport does its own urging. Practically everyone in Grundy Center High School and surrounding community take some interest in the basketball team. Grundy High School has had some very prominent basketball teams in the past. There have been numerous teams of consistent winners. It is very interesting to listen to the old time fans talk of teams way back wlien- Why, they say, that was the best team that ever played for Grundy. or No, our team back in 19-? was far better than that outfitf, Years have passed and the rules of basketball have changed considerably. A team that was good several years ago might not be so good under the present rules-or it might be better. It is a tradition that Grundy Center must have good basketball teams, and they are rated high in our basketball circle. Players that once wore the maroon and white basketball suits have graduatedg some of them have worn the colors of advanced institutions and have been out- standing there as well as in high school. One outstanding feature of G. C. H. S. basketball is the rooters. The games are attended by a large share of the population. Vlfhether games are won or lost continually, the size of the crowd never retrogrades in large numbers. This season of basketball was not as successful as some previous seasons have been. The boys attempted to learn a new style of basketball, coached by Mr. Carver and known as the fast break. This style will most likely be coached by Mr. Carver in the future. As soon as a team becomes accustomed to this style of basketball, it will undoubtedly win games. The 1932-33 season started in a slump which was only occasionally shaken off. The boys fought hard in every game try- ing to stage a comeback. Regardless of the fact that a good many games were lost, the Spartan spirit was kept, and a consistent attempt to win was made until the final whistle of the last game was blown. In spite of defeat, throughout the season the players showed fine sportsmanship, which is difficult for a losing team. The brand of sportsmanship shown may be attributed to inheritance of the talent from former G. C. H. S. teams, and also from Coach Carver's prescription of and insis- tence upon good sportsmanship. The Spartanis season was started with a good sized squad of experienced basketeers, seven of which will be unavailable next year on account of graduation or the semester rule. There are six players left to form the nucleus of the Spartan squad next season. These six boys all received ample experience and should, with the Spartan spirit go through a very successful season next year. At the close of the season Lucius Clark was selected honorary captain for the 1932-33 season. 36 .

In football he formed a fairly proficient squad into a nice team which won six out of nine games. Wells says we should have won them all and so does the team. In basketball Wells served as referee for the team's scrim- mages and as assistant supervisor. As for track, it seemed that we should have a fairly good team and VVells' able coaching developed some very fine performers. Lowell Carver also spent his first year in Grundy as basketball coach and assistant in track and football. He is an all around good coach in all three sports. He had, perhaps, an unsuccessful season in basketball but that wasn't his fault. He introduced a somewhat new system, and though the squad finally began to click, it didn't keep it up. As a result the boys just didnlt follow their lead. The future, however, holds big things in store for us. -Iousephine Thielen Was returning heroine for the girls. After a year's leave, she was back as girls, basketball coach. For some reason or other the girls did a fine job of playing and even though they did lose four out of ten games played, they showed a decided improvement. The reason is jo Jordan Larson was and is our superintendent, but besides that he was 'fGeneral supervisor of the three major sports and coached boxing and wrestling. Larson has a wide knowledge and many ideas on any subject. He used this faculty to an advantage in his coaching and generalship. William Bill Stark is the most useful boy in school. He was manager of the football, basketball, and track teams and probably worked as hard as they did. Besides this he participated in the practices and was a man to watch out for. janetta Merritt was manager of the girls' basketball team. The girls couldn't have gotten along without her. Really one must be a member of the team to actu- ally appreciate her numerous duties. MINOR SPORTS Hockey was the sports activity for the girls during the boys' football sea- son. Each of the four Classes had a team and these, after sufficient practice, played a tournament. However for various and sundry reasons this tournament was never completed and the championship is still in doubt. Nevertheless a good time was had by all. Boxing and wrestling furnished the boys without basketball minds with something to do during the winter season. The boys attended to meets and did nothing much but grunt and groan, but they had plenty of exercise and that was what they were after. . Tennis, along with Spring football, gives those not out for track something to do. Tennis, lacking a coach, amounts to a recreational enterprise with the day's Vacation periods allotted the various players. Spring football put the 1933 football potentialities through their paces, with the emphasis placed on fundamentals and how and when to do what. 38 5 I I ' 1 4sQ.,Qf-Is., , I G v 4 I , 1 NNN , X Wvklmy ,X Y I, 7 f Al.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Sail On , the poetic motto of Columbus, seems to be the key word of those who attain the National Honor Society. The limited membership of the society and the faculty council's consideration of a nominee's complete high school record inspire the student to put forth his best efforts and to persevere in the activities which he has begun. The Gray Chapter of the National Honor Society was established in Grundy Center High School on March 28, 1927. Election is made on the basis of scholar- ship, leadership, character, and service, and membership in the Honor Society is recognized as the highest honor the school can offer. The active members of the society are Miller Strack and Varina Des Marias, who were chosen in their junior year, and Esther Meier, janetta Merritt, VVil1iam Stark, and Celestine Miller, who were elected at the end of the first semester. The junior members will be chosen at the end of the current year. The alumni members include Crystal Price, Mary Schwyhart, Frances Wil- loughby, Gertrude Dieken. and james Lynch, 1927, Audrea Price, Donovan Baldwin, Evelyn Stark, Bruce Brockway, Zeta Colee, Russell Kaufman, and Charles Kerr, 19295 George Plager. Le Roy Vanderwicken, Caryl Middleton, and Jennie Dirks, 1930, Grace Stark, Chester Brockway, Ethan Akin, Dorothy Miller, and Margaret Coulson, 1931, Lois Hostetter, June Brockway, and George Wil- helm, 1932. 41 - l i ,IM os in X N- .-. f.u.

GLEE CLUBS Sailors and boatmen have always been noted for singing, and the crew of the Scholar Shipl' is no exception. This year there was an especially large group of students enrolled in the glee clubs, which are directed by Miss Meikle and Mr. Seyb. From the large glee clubs, groups of experienced singers were chosen for special work in choruses, sextets, and small group singing. On March 31 the glee clubs presented The Lucky Jadef' a colorful operetta, the principals of which were: Mrs. Courtney, a careful wife ................

Marion, Currie, M. Miller, Boren DECLAMATORY Perhaps because of the general depression there were fewer participants in the declamatory contest this year. However, those experienced in dramatics upheld the honors of the school, and some promising new talent was discovered. All of the contestants received valuable training under the direction of Miss Meikle. The knowledge they have gained of the technique and essentials of public speaking will show itself in their future work in dramatics. The participants in the home contest were Isadore Marion, Marlys Miller, and Bernis Rayburn in the oratorical class 5 Evelyn Crary and Winson Currie in the dramatic class, and La Vonne Albright, Geraldine Boren, Donabelle Mutch, Phyllis Neessen, Mary Pauline Robinson, and Irene Wells in the humorous class. In that contest, Isadore Marion and Marlys Miller, Winson Currie and Evelyn Crary, and Mary Pauline Robinson and Geraldine Boren received the first and second places in their respective classes. In the county contest, Marlys Miller, reading America's Medieval Empiren, placed second in her class. In the pre-district of the state series Isadore Marion won first with his oration, The Eleventh Commandment , and Winson Currie placed second with her interpretation of Mercedes 44 I HN H-s. .fs Q..g, 'i-il rlvw ,gui -.arf E X.

Sometimes a comet blazes across the sky in temporary splendor. But it is the fixed stars, shining steadily, by which the ship steers its course. Grundy High has been fortunate in 1932-33 in having student stars of all degrees of brilliancy. They have been elected by a vote of the faculty on the basis of qualifications desirable in a student body. The twelve thus chosen for stardom include eight seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores. Varina DesMarias '33 has been pronounced the most representative high school girl. She is completing a career of unusual activity in which she has been a leader in every phase of school affairs. As captain of basketball and editor-in-chief of the Annual she has carried much responsibility. Advanced scholarship as well as leadership brought her election to the Honor Society in her junior year. Her indomitable spirit, keen humor, and fine sportsmanship have contributed largely to her popularity. Miller Strack '33 is the unanimous choice for most representative high school boy.

Revenue to Feed Library Fund An ancient law was erase-d from the statute books at a special faculty session. The bill was passed unanimously by the faculty, but it lingered in the Student Council com- mittee while Councilmen strove to overcome the oppo- sition of Lucius Clark and Lee Davis to the measure. Gum machines will be in- stalled in the corridors. Gum will be available at all times during school hours, but re- strictions have been placed on gum consumption. Re- strictions make it mandatory that CD giun chewing be confined to classroom and as- sembly periodsg f2J aforesaid gum be bought in quantities of at least one carton: C33 for each unit chewed. a cor- responding unit must be given to a faculty member to chewy 641 gum must not ex- ceed 3.275 rubber. Miss Sterrett requests that all gum wrappers be saved so that she may win premiums offered by Mr. Wrigley for the wrappers. Miss Sue Dodd stated that the extra revenue derived from the sale of gum will be used to buy a supply of short fiction books for deficient readers to chew to meet with last minute outs-ide reading requirements. lT.g..l,.

P R 0 P 0 S E D LEGISLATION Senior Relief Bill Lobbyists in the Spartan Senate have finally succeeded in getting the Senior Relief Bill passed. This bill, in brief, provides that seniors be per- mitted to use study hours for committee work and investi- gation. Sinking Fund Bill To prevent grades from falling, a sinking fund, made up of A grades unused in the past, will be utilized upon ap- plication of worthy students with good recomrnendlations. Iniiation of Grades A Council committee is considering a proposed relief measure to bring about imme- diate inflation of grades. It is hoped that this legislation will raise the cloud of depres- sion from the minds of the over-burdened students. .........5...T..

DEPRESSION-DISPERSER DAILY DISPATCH LEGI, RISI, VICIMUR f0ur Mother Tonguej The English language as she is spoke in high skools is feroshus, and something's got to be done about it. Likewise with the langwage as she is wrote. Consequently, the Cor- recter English League is be- ginning a carnpane to revo- lushunuize the American English. First, Americans talk to much. The reason they do is because theres two many words in the langwage. With half as many words people could only say haff as much. Second, the grammer is too co-mpicated for most people to be right about it. A man aut to have a little common sense and some prozaic li- sense mixed with there gram- mer. The same is true of spell- ing. Extra letters in Words are out of date as petticoats. In skool children lern to spell by fonetics. Then they lern that tough is tuff, but cough is not cuff. What can a poor child do? The oooperashun of all the students is desired and ex- pected in the fite against the dogmas of pre-war langwage. Originality in self-expreshun will bring the country out of the depreshun quicker than a teecher can kick Don Stout out of class. 1-.i.g....l1.
