SENIOR HIGH STUDENTS HOLD MASS MEETING Senior High students were called together in the gym Wednesday, October 29, during the activities period for the second of a series ot convocations. The purpose of these assemblies is to acquaint students with problems and regulations aris- ing in and about school. Mr Kendall announced that faul- ty locker keys are being repaired and hereafter it is required that all lockers be locked at all times. Mr. Kendall explained that sev- eral students made excellent grades in their academic work but were kept off the honor roll because of their citizenship grades. This is all recorded and will reflect back on you after graduation when you are being recommended for a job, he said. Students were reminded that an invalid excuse will give them a grade of zero for the day missed. Following these announcements, Mr. Kendall explained in brief the new student governing body which is being organized by former Stud- ent Council members with the aid and guidance of their new sponsors, Mr. Blue. „ “And let’s not forget, students said Mr. Kendall in closing, that we have a football team. Let s show them that we re with them all the time, win or lose.” CHRISTENED AT LAST “Brickie Sugar Bowl” is the name which has been chosen by the Uhls Club for the sweeet shop, the school wishes to thank the Girls Club members and other students and teachers for their contributed suggestions.

It was merely a portion of the Hallowe’en festival which had been originally scheduled for Friday night, October 31. Highlight of the evening was the lineup of grotesque marchers par- ading through the business district and then down to the athletic field, where they passed the judges’ re- viewing stand, each and everyone of them vieing for one of the many prizes offered. The variety in awards presented a challenge for masqueraders to test their imagin- ations — and what an imagination some of those kids have! Amidst a bevy of clowns, mam- mies, scarecrows, skeletons, Uncle Sams, Red Cross Nurses— yes, and even red flannels, the judges named the following prizewinners: Most Original — Gillian Daven- port and Geneva Gafford. Most Weird — Charles Southard. Most Patriotic— John Walter. Most Beautiful — Jackie Wright. Most Appropriate — Robert Fasel. Most Comic— Allen Dale Blanch- ard. „ . Most Grotesque — Carl Spring- man. . , Best Animal Costume — Richard Ehrhardt. Best Clown Band— Girls. Grand prize was awarded to Gil- lian Davenport and Geneva Gafford. Theirs was a clever arrangement with Gillian atop Geneva’s should- ers, the skirt of Gillian’s dress con- cealing Geneva entirely. Gillian was more or less at ease, but your reporter kept wondering about Geneva. Contests for the younger children included cracker eating, skipping races, one-leg races, an Eskimo jumping race, and a wheelbarrow race. First, second, and third place awards were given for winners in the various groups. Following the contests the field was darkened for a striking display of fireworks, both beautiful and noisy in kind. B. Unexcused absence — 3 C Talking in rank or rehearsal 1 D. Music out of place, etc. 1 E. Forgetting horns, lyres, music, 1 F. Failing instrument inspection 1 G. Discourteous to officer or per- x S on in command 1 H. Insubordination 5 Smoking in uniform causes immediate expulsion. Alfred: “I suppose you think I’m a perfect idiot?” . Helen: “No, none of us is perfect. Modern orator: “My friends, I am full of uncertainty. ...” Wit in the audience: He must have had hash for dinner.

BOOK NOOK “MEET THE WARRENS” If you, like many others, enjoy reading about typical American characters, you won’t need a sec- ond invitation to read a truly en- tertaining story, “Meet the War- rens.” The author, Lucy Hancock, writes here with the same skill and insight that characterized her re- cent popular “North Side Nurse.” “Meet the Warrens” is a story of the family life of John, the father; of Margaret, his capable wife; of Stephen, the banker whose wife Harriet (not a Warren) makes him toe the mark; of Melissa, who has been disappointed in love and is blindly endeavoring to reshape her life along strictly unemotional lines. . . . . and who would have succeed- ed except for a certain young phy- sician, Dr. Reed; of Ted, a vision- ary who wants very much to be a faimer; of Sally, Ted’s gay and ir- responsible wife; and of popular, headstrong Laura, who defies the entire family by marrying young Tom Kennedy, whom her father and brothers hate because of a long- standing family feud. Miss Hancock has presented these character-, with their ups and downs, their ins and outs, their love affairs and their qaurrels— all interwoven in admirable fashion into a story of typical American family life. If you’re interested, why not come along and ‘Meet the War- rens?” PET PEEVES Dorothy Oakley — Damp weather . . . “It takes all the curl out of my hair.” Nora Laurie — “Trying to keep my shoes clean.” June Jansen — Being rushed. Helen Mae Lennertz — “My little niece.” Bill Jordan: “He went blind from drinking coffee.” Joe: ‘Who ever heard of such a thing? How did it happen?” Bdl J.: “He left his spoon in the cup.” Have you ever tried word build- ing? What? You’ve never tried it? Well, here’s how it goes: Take S; add one letter to make a common exclamation; add two more letters to make something you find in the chimney; add four more let- ters to get a word meaning calm- ing. The word is S-O-O-T-HING. Now, try it with the letter A. Add one letter to get a boy’s nick- name; add two more to get some- thing that puckers up your lips; add four more letters to get a very fine metal. If you can’t figure it out, look at the bottom of this art- icle. Try now the letter E. Add two letters to form a girl ' s name: add one more to get an adverb: and add five letters to make a fir tree. Want to try it with B? Add one letter to form a verb: and two more now to get a vegetable; add still two more to get a bug. Begin with the letter T. Add a letter to get a preposition; add an- other letter to form a boy’s name; now add five more letters to form a common vegetable. Did you get stuck on any of them? Here are the answers: For the letter A A-L-UM-INUM. For the letter E E-VE-R-GREEN. For the letter B B-E-ET-LE. For the letter T T-O-M-ATOES. HINTS FOR HEALTH “An eye for an eye” is not a good motto, for if once you lose your sight, it can ' seldom be regained or restored. If you abuse your eyes or have trouble with them, they will warn you in some way. Heed the warn- ings you hear to watch out for headaches, eyeaches, watery eyes, blurred vision, inflammation of the eyelids, dizziness, a tired feeling when using the eyes, and swollen eyelids. Continual scowling and a tendency to hold work too far from or too near the eyes indicate that the eyes need attention. The wise thing to do upon notice of any of these symptoms is to con- sult your physician for advice. A periodic checkup of the eyes is a good thing to have regardless of whether or not you wear glasses, for even well-fitted glasses need adjustments rather often.

GRIDIRON SENIORS - HEADING FOR THE LAST HUDDLE Bill Truett A great tackier. The most improved man on the team. Albert Kazlauski Co-Captain. A deadly blocker . . .A ferocious tackier. Lewis Rose Co-Captain A remarkable ball car- rier and a fine leader. Jack Tayylor He hasn’t been stopped yet . . . His nickname, “5-YARD TAYLOR.” Gordon Perney Sorry we have no pic- ture of Gordon, who got a late start in foot- ball. Although not on the regular string, Gor- don was always at pi ' actice. Dependability Plus! Bob Hill Little but mighty. . . A “Spot Man” who is a fighter. Lester Ponder He lacked experience but had desire. Always ready, never a quitter. Seeking sweet revenge from Val- paraiso, Hobart Br ; ckies attained their goal Monday night on the local gridiron by downing the Vikings 7-0 in a battle so one-sided that Valpo passed the 50-yard line only once during the evening. Although the score does not lean heavily toward either side, still it definitely was Hobart’s ball through and through. The end of the third quarter was near before the Vikings exhibited any manifestations even of being in the fracas. In the first quarter a pass to “Cy” Ciszek took the ball to the Vikings’ 20-yard line. After a fumble, Valpo recovered the ball, which again was fumbled, this time to be recovered by Hobart on their 12-yard line. Rose passed to Stephens, who car- ried the ball to score the single touchdown of the game. Rose made good the kick, with Stephens hold- ing the baH. The Brickies’ line ex- hibited perfect blocking on the extra ■ point, with every Valpo man being rendered harmless. During the second period an in- compl ted pass in the end ' zone de- prived the Bricki s of an opportu- ' nity to score in that quarter. With ; one minute and 45 seconds remain- j ing in the first half, the ball was on the Valpo 8-yard line, first and 10. Rose attempted an end run, but was thrown for a loss. A plunge took the ball to the 3-yard line, where it rested, still in the Brickies’ posse- sion, as the half ended. Near the end of the third quarter the Vikings started to click, and for a while it looked as though they were to score. However, the Brickie defense tightened up and forced Valpo to punt, and the remainder of the ball game consisted mostly of an exchange of the ball from one end to the other. Valpo attempted a touchdown march during the last period, pass- ing three times to get to about the 30-yard line. An attempted forward pass on the fourth down was fumbl- ed, with Kazlauski recovering for Hobart, who then carried the ball back down into home territory. The defensive work of the entire Brickie team was probably the best j it Tias been this season. The only time the Hobart line allowed any- i one even to come close was when ! Valpo blocked one punt in the third | quarter. Although it seemed as 1 EDISON WINS HARRIER MEET Gary Edison’s brilliant team co- operation netted its boys the win- ning place in the first annual Hobart Invitational Cross-Country Meet held over the two-mile Gleason Park course Tuesday, November 4. Edison harriers finished 3rd, 6th, 9th, 11th and 13th for a total of 42 points. Hobart Brickies placed second with 60 points; Hammond Clark amassed 67 points for third place; Lowell was fourth with 93 points, and Lew Wallace finished last with 110 points. The race was a duel all the wav, with harriers from all five schools exchanging the lead. Pukaeh of Clark stepped out in front by a few steps at the finish, followed closely by Herlitz of Lowell, Guernsey of Edison, and Ritter and McDonald of Hobart, in the order named. though no one in particular was get- ting tackles, yet each player seemed to be in on every play. “Speed” Taylor, Brickie fullback, did a beautiful job of plunging throughout the game, picking up from 3 to 18 yards on almost every attempt.
