With the first snowflakes, came thoughts of the approaching winter and the cold weather, the “flu”, and the slip- pery streets which accompanied it. The faculty reminisced longingly; moments at last spring’s Water Carnival were vividly relived as they glanced through familiar snapshots. Winter seemed long, and spring, far away. With a sigh they hurried to get the childrens’ snow suits out of the mothballs or to put anti-freeze in the radiator of the car. .

Everybody Joined CLUBS PUBLICATIONS “Who’ll write an editorial?” Many such questions were asked during the monthly meetings of the Publications Club. The club was held primarily for those who wished to work on the Fortnight and proved fairly successful. They put out eight copies of the paper and had loads of fun in the process. Miss Britten added much to the atmosphere as adviser. KNOW HASTINGS Did you see the spots of red paint on the Know Hastings Club members? The corlorful display was created by rubbing against a Royal Coach trailer, which was minus a “wet paint” sign. Among the sites they visited, the County Court House proved interesting when they climbed up in back of the clock and literally learned how the place was ticking. The jail, the fire hall, Metal Tile, and Bookcase offered much entertainment, while the Pet Milk Co. offered the whole- some smell of drying milk. The fifty-some members enjoyed a bu«r, as well as interesting and novel, schedule. GUN “Noisy, isn’t it?” could easily have been a question asked by those who were un- lucky enough to be in the vicinity of the fire barns where the Gun Club’s rifle range was located. Under Mr. Gies supervision the mem- bers also went outside to practice as soon as the weather permitted. They also saw movies on safety practices with guns. As was expected the club had a bang- up club year and learned many helpful rules. BOOK “My! how wfell you’ve done!” was one of Mrs. William’s pleased expressions in response to her Book Club, which, con- sisted of twenty-five members. The members ordered a twenty-five cent hook at each meeting and hoped to beg n librar.es to promote better reading. With the memorirmg of quotations, authors, and other helpful information, the club has managed to have three part es in the course of the year. All in all the Book Club was a great success and lots of fun! Seared — W. Gtanscr, M. Hammond. R. Craven. A. Loht. D. Van Hootcn. N. Clark. Stand- ing — M. McDonald. R. Knoptf. W- Cormsht.

JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The Junior Varsity Football squad, coached by Anton Turkal, finished a instructive, but unsuc- cessful season as they were able to cross pay dirt only once during their three games. They opened their season against Middleville, and were trimmed 27-0. They received the same treatment from Charlotte as they bowed to a 28-0 score. In their final game, with Lakeview, Jim Myers crossed the goal to give the Junior Saxons their only score of the year, Lakeview, however, won 24 to 7. Although the boys didn’t have a very im- pressive season, it is felt that they will be able to fill the shoes of the Varsity in their years to CROSS COUNTRY Under the coaching of Anton Turkal, the Saxon Harreirs collected their first victory in two years. It was the first W.C.L. meet since the war, and only Ionia and Hastings participated. The score was 27 to 28. Another meet of importance was the Invitational Meet held at the Country Club in which six C and D, and seven B schools partici- pated. Hastings placed fifth behind Niles, Char- lotte, Alma, and Ionia. Hastings also came out on the short end of the following dual meets: Battle Creek, 17-38; Ionia, 23-32; Charlotte, 20-41. At the close of the season Coach Turkal a- warded letters to Don Golden, Henry Gibson, Dick Taylor, Vern Smith, and Ronald NasTi. come.
