On Getting Out of Bed Abad morning lor me (all mornings arc bad for me) always begins around midnight since this is about the tune 1 wander home. When I finally crawl into bed, I lie awake and count slices of bacon (this is much cheaper than lamb chops) jumping into a frying pan. After about ten minutes of this I am hungry, so I get up and get something to cat. After I am stuffed, I return to bed feeling like a balloon; and. therefore, I do not get to sleep for about two hours. Next comes the real torture, trying to get up in time for school and still catch a couple little naps. About seven-thirty the first call comes; 1 roll over and emit an elegant groan or grunt, whichever one happens to come. A few quiet and uneventful minutes float by and all of a sudden there is a violent shaking of the bed. and I sit up and stick my foot out at my mother and wave it. This, she evidently thinks, is a good sign; so she leaves, and I once more return to sleep. Next comes the inevitable, a martial voice threatening me with the time; I have not yet found a remedy for this but I still have hope. If you can help me With this, please do so. Or arc you on my mother's side? —Tom Reynolds Fads and Crazes One cannot miss them m the halls. These fads and fashions and what-not-alls. Knee sucks or jerkins, or some such thing, Suddenly becomes just quite the thing. The Central girls keep up to the minute. For their ingenuity surpasses the limit. Fin sure you've seen their new tom foolery. That's right. You've guessed it! Macaroni jewelry. It's easily made if the directions arc heeded. Paint and string arc all that is needed. And you can be sure as the lime slijss by. That the macaroni sales will jump sky high. Yes, they come and go, these fads and crazes. With a speed that really quite amazes. Wedges, pork-pies, and sloppyjocs. What will come next? Well, no one knows. —Carol Si.iciitam My Dog In the world today, there arc probably thousands upon 1 thousands of dogs, all colors, all breeds, and all dogs. They are. most of them, probably quite happy with no work and lots of jd.iy. and food. There arc a few dogs which arc trained to work, and even these must enjoy their work or they would revolt and there would be no working dogs. There are many breeds of dogs. One of these is a Cocker Spaniel which, by some coincidence or mishap of nature, happens to be the breed of my dog Mike. This seems to be a queer name for such a majestic dog as a Cocker, hut his real name is “Black Michael of Boy, what a name for the runt our dog is! I prefer just plain “Mike, as did the rest of the family, and so did “Mike, even though he didn't know it. Our dog is a four footed, enormous eared, black thing with a hump on his nose and hair on his tail. He has an enormous appetite, but does not seem to grow an inch; however, what he does not grow, be makes up for in lively running and jumping around. I had heard somewhere that a Cocker Spaniel is somewhat of a hunting dog, so I was determined to find out if our dog could live up (o his reputation. He did. He chased everything from a lowly field mouse to an airplane which was roaring around in our vicinity. As a bird dog he was .in utter Hop; anything that moves he chases. 'Hie first stupid thing Mike did was to fly out of our car into the field like a cornet and fall headlong into a three foot drainage ditch. He came up a very saddened and bedraggled dog. with leaves and brambles all over his once beautiful coat. But did that daunt “Black Michael of Franklin ? No! He shook himself with a roar and charged like a galloping knight at a dreadnaught like bee which was buzzing placidly around a flower. The bee kept buzzing around the flower, and the dog kept charging. Say, said Mike finally, “this fellow isn’t any fun and beside she's too small to hurt anything. I had better find something else. He rushed ofT and was amazed to find that nothing paid the slightest attention to him. Right then and there I decided that our Mike was not a hunting dog but just a plain Cocker Spaniel wih big ears, a bump on his nose, and hair on his tail. —Bill Carow SUNSET The mu ten all too toon for tut, III colon all in harmony: .h it goei down into thr ir i, Franklin.

Seniors llte Giti estA, Jamawiaiv r-'R three YEAR the present senior class has attended daises, worked with clubs and organizations. and shared the rcs|VHiMhilities and advantages of sell government of Central I ligh School. They are the finished products of a high sc hi Mil education ilcsigncd for life in a democracy. Their character, leadership, and knowledge will Ik the foundation for our way of life in the future. They are the Citizens of Tomorrow. For the last few months the halls, class rooms, lunch rooms, and other meeting places ot the students have been the scenes of tierce arguments and discussions about graduation. Now tin final arrangements base been completed. The caps and gowns arc to Ik grey and the tkiwer to Ik worn is the rose. The banquet, as well as the dance, will Ik held at the University Memorial Union. The class colors are white and blue. Phyllis Pinkerton is the valedictorian and Henry Rinkc the salutatorian. Now everyone is ready for that all important day. So. on June 13, I'M I. another senior class will pass in review before their families and friends. They will receive their diplomas and thereby close the final chapter in the book of high school education and training. From being part of Central High School, they will become members of that large clan known as alumni. Upon graduating from high school, many will continue I heir education in different colleges and universities. They will dig deep into the particular phase of living that inter csts them most, and in a few years will take their places as business men and women. It is then, when the hardships begin to present themselves, that they will prove they arc worthy of their class motto, Climb, though the rocks Ik rugged.” The class of “ ’41' will Ik remembered as a grand group, willing to cooperate and lend their services wherever needed. Each member of the senior class did his part to make the class one of which to Ik proud; and they have succeeded. As in all groups, some persons stand out from the rest as worthy of special notice. Among the more prominent members of the class is George Torgeson, class president. (Jeorge has made a name for himself ImrIi as a football player ansi basketball player. He has proved himself capable ol quick thinking and acting. In addition to being class president and a star athlete, be is also a member of the Student Council. All of these facts show that he has the trust and respect of his fellow students. Mary Ellen Farrell takes her place in the Orange and Black spotlight for her sense of humor, courage, and |Krscvcrancc. I Irr job as editor-in-chief took a lot of hard work and time outside of school. Mary Ellen has given her time and efforts willingly and has done licr job well. Many students have achieved the honor of being elected to the National Honor Society. The senior class is also taking with them several star football and basketball players who have helped to bring us our football and basketball championships, (icorgc Torgeson, J«k Kennedy, (icorgc I-iuck, Jack Boyle, Joe (iollctti, and John Reda arc a few of the best known. In the operetta. The Pirates of Penzance.” all of the leads except two were taken by seniors. These people named are not the only ones of importance in the class, they arc only a few. Every one is important and has his particular |xirt to perform. And mi as another year ends ami another class departs, we wonder what the future holds for the graduates. Some will become doctors, lawyers, secretaries, nurses, mechanics, anti many other things which arc required to make up a civilization. Some may become world famous: others will remain unknown. But all of them will be doing their best to Ik good citizens. And so, to the class of “ 41“ we say. Good luck anti the Iksi of everything ; you deserve it. —Frances Miller Fusrn Mu 11 . a n iwr. ha btonn hair, (try eyet and it fire frri fonr me her lull.
