Doodling ...... Doodling is on the up-swing. The wastepaper baskets and the janitors have been suffering from overworkg the tablets have run out long before the end of each six weeks period, pencils have heen worn to stumps, caricatures and works of art appear everywhere. loin the doodle parade 'A' Hi1Evgfyb0'dy. Doodling sounds like a silly theme for a yearbook, doesn't it? Year book stalls usually use, as a theme, some ponderous subject like, The Seven Cardinal Principles of Education , or School Subjects . But you know our staff! Formality would kill us, for we are still kids. Honest and truly we had Mr. Iones worried, He thought we would never find a theme that suited us, and, as you know, yearbooks must come out on time. In order to give us ideas he searched everywhere and got all the dope he could, yet at each new suggestion from any member of the staff the rest of us all groaned. No one on the staff knew what she or he wanted, but we all knew what we didn't want. We didn't want a book in which we had to write like Voltaires or Edgar Allen Poes, or one in which all the pictures were arranged like those in a history book. We didn't want anything formal, that was a cinch. So, meeting after meeting, we sat and doodled away on scraps of paper. Blank was the expression on all faces, except for an oc- casional glimmer which soon faded away. Finally somebody said, Why not use doodling? We've done enough of it. Silence reigned while the idea was sinking through our thick skulls. Although someone inquired, What's doodling'? , the staff knew this was what we wanted, for here was something that was informal, yet universally done. So-that is how Doodling became the theme of the eighteenth edition of the Chimrock. Come along with our staff as we doodle in words and pictures the activities of Hollidays- burg Senior and Iunior High Schools during the 1940-41 school year.
