VZ forward to a pleasant vacation. The administration had thrown the entire student body into an uproar by considering a schedule change for the second semester. The twenty minute lunch period had drawn cries of indigestion from almost all the students, but when a change was proposed there were louder cries of confusion and red tape. Wfhich all goes to prove that people get accus- tomed to inconveniences and that they prefer dis- comfort to change. A survey conducted by Mr. Howard disclosed that any change would be im- possible. We all breathed a sigh of relief and went back to swallowing our soup in sixty seconds flat. Apparently this was the year for surveys. jack LACROSSE tMembers of Varsityj Hugh Kitchener, Ed Vogler, Burt House-worth, Fred Kyle Mike Henahan, Ross Roberts, Bill Mueller, Charles Frame, Barry Grennan, Pete Kilgus, Carl Lawrence, .loc Gisch- wind.

Diefendorf checked to find out what Student Congress had done during the year. He reported that the Pupils' Activity and Building and Grounds committees headed by Ginny Thompson and Tur- ner Austin, respectively, had secured buses for away games, had the pressure in the drinking fountains increased, and had obtained shower curtains for the girls' locker rooms.

The villain confessed, stabbed himself, and Tweedsworth apologized profusely to Melba. But alas, it was too late-she had drunk the po- tion. Tweedsworth in a tempest of fiery ardor, snatched the bowl and drank the rest of the soup. All wept uncontrolably as the pair died grace- fully, clutching the Tower. and the curtain fell midst sobs and wails. On january 13 six girls gave an unique and entertaining program of Polish dances. The girls, Barbara Casper, Caroline Kushay, Helen Piergio- vanni, Dorothy Sherry, Mercedes Wilhouski, and Rose Rodriguez, wore authentic Polish costumes which had been in their families and danced to the accompaniment of Richard and Stan Kushay and Frank Chicosky. On january 19 George Gil- bert Groman gave a talk on How Other People Talk. He gave impersonations of President Tru- man, Winston Churchill, and numerous radio and motion picture actors. Mark Van Doren spoke to the juniors and seniors on the necessity for liberal education. His talk was the cause of many heated discussions among our erudite seniors, while some of the students found the period a good oppor- tunity to catch up on their sleep.
