Many’s the time they have to be on hand for school activities, but in spite of all ; they have to put up with, they still greet us with a smile and a prophecy P| concerning the weather or political situation. .. . | | Down in the bowels of our school we find the keeper of the boiler | room, Mr. Barnes. . . . His task is one of heating and ventilation, while in the many discussions which take place in his domain, he serves as keeper of the Royal Bull. ... This is just a little attempt to thank these gentlemen | i for the way they Have put up with us and we wish them an easier task in | the future.

MR. STOOKEY If you see a nice looking man going down the hall apparently mumbling to himself, don’t worry about him. Pig senote crazy. . Go Not yet, anyway! You see, it’s Mr. Stookey, and he has a bad case of music on the brain... and sometimes it even comes out of his mouth. . . . You understand! And if that weren't the case we’re just afraid that Hickman wouldn’t have the band she does today .. . a band we're proud to compare with any of its size in the state. . . . We don’t know why Mr. Stookey isn’t crazy, though, with all the work he does. . . . He dashes over to junior high . . . he dashes back. mes onthe constant:vo.. . ..andhe accomplishes things . . . big things, like the new school song, “Kewpies on the March” and other things, such as having the band play for political rallies and this and that. . . . But through all his troubles, Mr. Stookey satisfies himself by worrying his tie and working toward the betterment of instrumental music at Hickman: +. M Iss WEAVER Here’s another reason why music is definitely on the upbeat here at Hick- man. ... It’s Miss Weaver, who dates back to our junior high days, and who was drafted a couple of years ago to bolster our faltering music department. Since then a motble improvement has taken place in vocal music. . . . Boy’s Glee Club, Girl’s Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, and the Triple Trio are no longer laughing stock and everyone stops to listen hen. that trio of cute sopho- mores get hot. . . . Miss Weaver divides her time beneed Hickman and junior high and maintains a beaten path be- tween them.

Bh aS RAN Keep that bench warm, fellows! If you should sud- denly change places with a boy on the field, wouldn’t any one of you feel bad if he froze, sitting in your original seat. Mr. Stookey leads . . . the band plays eeeeana. the baton witlers twirl . .. all between halves of one of our football games. Mr. Bealmer apparently is en- joying himself with Miss Weav- er... Notice the smile! But I bet he smiles at all the CIT Sea Boys! Boys! Get your hands out of your pockets! It’s not be- coming. ... And Murray, wipe that sly look off your face! There aren't any Stephens girls around. You bad girls! What is the meaning of this? I bet both of you got sent out of class. Look at Helen sitting there with that guilty look on her face. Now in the future be more subtle, and tliis won't happen. I wish I could dip that low. ... But we can’t all be as good as O. V. and Anna Dean. They've got it down pat. The couple at the right aren’t wasting any energy... but then they’re conservative, you see! !
