36 THE SKETCH Gossip, 7th Grade There is a cute new 7A-1 basketball player whose name is Clyde Green. Clump! Clump! Clump! won't those clodhoppers that boys are now wearing ever go out of fashion. I certainly wish so! I wonder what Miss Curtis meant the other day in Sth period study hall when she told Frank Smith and Jimmy Babb they were flirting with a 10th period? It seems that Roberta Fryer and Patty Gilmore have not had fight for two whole days--Believe it or not! Donna Crisler seems to be fighting a hard battle against Claudia Phillips over Bill Runyon. Is Donna so far the winner? It certainly looks like it. Bill Raabe really shouldn,t make eyes at girls during 7th period Lit. class. Really Bill!?!? Bill Earnhart and Donna Hatton certainly have a wonderful time dur- ing home room period. Dahl Bonta wanted his name in this column, well how does it look, Gus? A cute little dark haired girl seems to think a cute little boy by the name of Donald Powell is just a doll. I want to put a good word in for the 7th grade basketball team. Good work boys! Jimmy Claxon and Kenneth Brown certainly can talk. Don't you think so MR. CAMPBELL? Jeany Denton has the prettiest brown eyes. Hasn't she boys? Mrs. Curless must have a pet by the name of Bud Buck. She keeps him in every night-O'boy Bud. Marcia Murrell-Don't you have a boy friend??? It seems that Schlegel Wallace likes to mark on other peoples art packets-Really? I wonder why Jack Gray wishes his home room was in the basement? As if we didn't know. Jimmy Watson uses X for the answers in arithmetic because it is the unknown quantity. Most girls in the seventh grade should work in a china factory because they always are painting their mugs. Miss Modlin found on one test paper, A polygon is a dead parrot. Bill Earnhart, when asked by Mrs. Curless What is poetry? replied, Poetry is when every line begins with a capital letter. I hear Dale Winder is heart-broken over Betty Daugherty moving away. I also hear that he has been making eyes at the new girl, Dixie Dovin. fAin't love grand?j Robert Anderson has quite a crush on Mary Sue Lavengood, come, come, Anderson tell us all about it. I found out by snooping around that Barbara Scott is moving to Alexandria. Won't the halls be quiet now? What was on that little slip of paper that Eugene Gray handed to Miriam McGuire? It couldn't have said E. G. 86 M. M. for could it?J Bob Showalter was seen following some girls home from the show. His only excuse was, I wanted to see if you were following them.

It was the second time Martin Boots has given a program at Indianapolis during the Teachers Association. In October 1940 the Glee Club gave a program there and was asked back again for 1941.

THE SKETCH 37 8th Grade Chit-Chat There is one in every class, for instance Jimmy Parsons in 8A1. One Wl'1at????? Vfhat is this we hear about Stephen France inquiring how he could get a date with Ellen Freel? We see Max Horn with Winifred Gilmore lately. What's this all about Max? How will Bobby Braunlin get any fun out of life when the govern- ment requisitions rubber heels? Creeping up behind girls is all rightg but he will have trouble with those noisy leather heels.. Patty Pickens says 'QI don't see why he doesn't come to see me any more. We don't either Patty. Jack Harreld should join a ladies gossip club. He is always arguing with the teachers. ' We wonder why Billy Runyon doesn't get a steady. He keeps all the girls in suspense. Hint. Hint. We find Howard Fink skillful in many things. We find him very good at drawing cartoons. We hear Miss Sturgis is giving her General Language classes singing. Mainly, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. All men are fools who fall for dames says Richard Motsinger. What about the notes you have been sending to Joanne Robb? We hear that Dorothy Cougill is fond of a boy over at High School. I wonder who it could be? Charlotte Curran is just another red head, but some-one doesn't think so. We hear Mary Lou Beshore is taking ballet. Keep it up Mary Lou. It seems as though that handsome Dick Dessing is losing his technique. What's wrong Dick? Marcia Draudt seems to be fond of a boy at Washington School. Why not let us in on the secret Marcia? Ronnie Bollett still has hopes that he will grow just a wee bit taller so he will fit into Donna Crisler's environment. Richard Rauch is continually rolling his eyes around at the girls. She will be a lucky girl when he finally gets them set. Don't be surprised if you see Xen Lemon, and Fred Shinault still walk- ing down the halls with 8th grade books under their arms. They stayed because they were mid termers??? It's too bad there is no method of growing tall quickly. Walton Ball Wants to be che tallest 8th grader so badly. Eldon Smith fso he saysj is all alone in this great big world. There's your chance girls. Maybe if Calvin Osborn had eyes in the back of his head, the teachers could save their breath. They wouldn't have to tell him to turn around. We certainly are glad the craze for white rats has passed. How about it Billy Barley?
