turned dim and gay decorations floating about. You could hardly recognize your classmate pals, they were so dolled up. VVe'll never forget those 'LSwingsters and the Three Little Fishes. And, say, donit you remember how dillierent it seemed with the tables set up above in the hall, and also what a terrible time lack Derr had passing out the cokes.

We Like To Plag 'IWLNTY-TWO OCIAL alfairs among pupils make up an important part in the life of the pupil. Dances, movies, parties, plays, and games have been sponsored by outstanding school organi- zations. Play going has become distinctly a part of the social calendar. For the pupils dramatic production is an occasion for enjoying and appreciating the art of other pupils. lt encourages friendships which last beyond high school years. The social committee and Girls' club have sponsored parties, while the Student Council has been most active in planning several events of a social nature. Can you remember those noon-hour dances, with Esther Burhop and Mr. Marsh operating the victrolaP How they couldn't get it to work the First few times and what a terrible time the council had trying to get contributions in the coffee can? Wasn't it nice being able to sit in the aud during noon hour and be entertained by those free movies? If you didn,t have anything else to do you could enter one of the checker games which were also sponsored by the noon-hour committee. Think back to November ll, when the fellows decorated their jalopies and piled the kids in. This memorable occasion was the homecoming parade which followed the band around the square. Certainly you recall the sportsmanship drives for the operetta and the games, which were held both in the aud and home rooms. Canit you just see Graham and Gabbei running around with boxes of candy bars in their hands, trying to stir up business at the basketball games? If you went to Tony Sarg, you'll remember the outstanding little jitterbugs, and if you ever joined the dancing lessons which took place in the girls' gym during Monday and Thursday activity periods, you can bring back many happy memories. But this is not alll The biggest event was the Decoration Day Dance held in the boys' gym. Remember how different the gym seemed? Kinda romantic-like with the lights

Looking Into The Future taken rom Wmchell s '45, with help of Bill H arris, of course NOTABLES sEEN ON BROADWAY: Art Turnquist, Brooklyn's daffy shortstop, with a brunette on one arm and a cane on the other. The kid must have played a com- mand performance before a Brooklyn pawn- shop. Pete Fotes, owner of the Grecian Paradise,', the restaurant with an Athenian Hot Dog, standing. in front challenging anybody not to come in and eat. Kay Abel, that model with the Lovely Fig- ures for Your Accounting Advertising Com- pany, taking an aristocratic party down Broadway in her new Model A sedan. She was doing all right until she got that Hat tire, but she got rid of him in a hurry. Walking down the Rue de les Foux, I noticed a newspaper correspondence office. Always curious about newspaper work, I wandered in. Behind a pile of old news, I found Bill Harris typing the latest on Dictator Bryant Roisum. He stopped work when I entered and greeted me. The title on his desk was Exclusive Foreign Correspondent of the Largest Paper in Americaf, Helping him clean up his desk a little later, I noticed one of his cable-copies starting: K'To the Sun Prairie Sentinelf' and signed, W, Ward Harris, Foreign Correspondentf, Again the Yankees are burning up the Amer- ican Cassociationj League. Back in 1936, 1937, 1938 they Won both the World Series and American League Pennant, finally being stopped by the Chicago Cubs in the World Series in 1939. This year they look stronger than ever with two rookies up from the Madison Blues, one of their farm teams. Cora Cutler, an out- fielder, and Arlene Bronson, a pitcher, are mowing them down. Miss Cutler is batting .396 in 146 games and Miss Bronson has won 25 games and lost 4, while batting only .310. Manager Ioe McCarthy says that he will probably keep these two for the remaining eight games of the season. Their salaries are not definite, but it is rumored that they get ten new dresses and all the lipstick they can eat. Fred Lightbourn, newly appointed circulation manager of the Wisconsin State Iournal, has led a charmed life. Starting out as a mere paper boy, Fred has advanced step by step to the position he now holds. Mr. Lightbourn at- tributes his success to the fact that he peddlefl his papers with a zeal and collected for them with a punch. Dorothy Homberger, leading contender for the Women's tennis title, has recently stated that she Will make a movie with Lucien Til- ker, the man all women are nuts about. The title will be The Womanls Tennis Ball and Chainf, The Main Street of Ticki Wicki in Africa always was beautiful, but is more so now be- cause a few Americans have moved there and have started business establishments. Among the first Americans was Nancy Lansdowne, dressed in his best and most permanent per- manent. He arrived one morning on the 6:15 parachute. Like all farmers do when a stranger arrives, the natives gathered around the prostrate form of Mr. Lansdowne. Finally he moved, not much, mind you, but he did wiggle a little. Immediately the chiefls daughter pounced on him and said, He's mine. Nancy Lansdowne and his wife Yourhooked started a prosperous little resort on Cocoanut Row. Every two weeks after the natives got their WPA checks business would skyrocket to top figures, but then it would decline until another payday came around. Nancy is still running his prosperous little resort in Ticki Wicki, and from all appearances will hold it down until his mortgage runs out. Bill Ioachim has been collecting pennies for a world tour. This is a carry-over from his high school days, when he collected 1,050 pennies to buy the license for his car. So far, he has only enough to get as far as London. One of his biggest contributors is Eugene Rubnitz with a total of 17 cents. The Rowboat Rowdies, formerly the Gates Club, are doing their bit in a Fifty-Second Street Theatre. Included in this group are: Art Harrington, Len I-Iilsenhoif, E u g e n e Graham, Paul Hustad, and Louis Beaudette, all members of Central's old cheering section.

But the critics claim that the dance team that has just come into the lime- light here in Chicago is topsf, Ioyce Switzky and Everett Faust have been literally burn- ing upl' the town by their modern interpre- tation of dance steps. They now have a six weeks, contract to dance in the New Empire Room of the Palmer House. fconfd page 31D
