THE SKETCH 39 There is a certain 9A girl who is watching the footsteps of Harvey Detrick. You had better check up on it, Harvey. She is a blond. We have been looking around and we find Frankie Welch and Joan Wilson going together. Now, Frankie have you been holding out on us? When Patty Miller and Violet Anderson left at the mid-year James Beekman was left stranded. We all wonder who the next lucky gi.rf'will be. Martin Boots once again claimed fame by defeating the McCulloch freshmen in the city Series. The Martin Boots Carnival went off with a bang again this year as usual. Thanks to the cooperation of the whole school, it was an over- whelming success. This year after a long absence Martin Boots had a school paper. A contest was held to get a name. The lucky winner was handed in by home-room 6. The name was The Astonisherf' Billy Bundy the dark haired canary has a very good friend who is a junior in High School. She doesn't even give you a chance, does she boys? Frank Butterworth's return from Chicago was a bright spot in the hearts of many girls. The mid-year basketball game between the 9A's and the 9B's was a success. The 9B's won but they were only too glad to help the graduating class gain some money. The Sketch movie The Ghost Goes West was very good. We think every one enjoyed it immensely. Walking down the halls I saw a crowd of boys. I thought they must be organizing a baseball team. but I found out the attraction was Betty Whisler who was visiting Martin Boots. Miss Miller must have had a lot of experience teaching. She said she taught David Copperfield. I have noticed a certain 9A girl who has someone or something on her mind. She carries a picture in her purse of a very prominent High School boy, who is about 5 ft. 6 in. tall. I wonder if this is the reason for her troubled look. How about it Lizzy. is it? Hank Dillon. a new comer to our school has made a place in the hearts of most of us for himself. You're tons with us, Hank. Katie Magers is having a good time this year going from one person to another. Becky Connelly and Jim May were seen having a good time together. Could this be the starting of a romance? Only time will tell. And so we come to the end of our stay at Martin Boots, where we have spent three very happy years, which we will long remember with affection.

33 THE SKETCH 9th Grade News We want to take time and space to thank Miss Hall, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Milhon and all of the teachers of Martin Boots for their kindness throughout the year. Looking back to the mid-termers who graduated we find that Violet Anderson and John Jones received the American Legion Awards. I am told the students of Martin Boots have bought a great number of Defense Stamps. We must keep up the good work in order to keep our freedom. There have been quite a number of cases of measles going around in Martin Boots. Many students were sent home to spend that long vacation of seven days. It seems as if Barbara Pence and Donna McGriff ought to be great musicians, judging from the fnotesj they write. Whistler's mother has a new rival since Mr. Campbell posed for the ninth grade art class. I wonder why the girls of Martin Boots aren't better in History. Most of them have fdatesj on their minds all the time. The government's worries about the rubber shortage would be over if they would buy Mary jo Lett a combination lock. Think of all the rubber shoe heels she uses going back home after her locker key every morning. Jim Sanders went to the office to get an absence slip but found he was not absentg just absent minded. What will Martin Boots do after our most perfect couple has left, Mary Lee Schultz and DeMoine Frye? Does anyone know who Becky Connelly's heartbeat is? She hasn't had any one on her hook since E. J. Dayne Bonta please tell which it is-Shirley Crisler, Dorothy Cougill, Charlotte Curran, or Ellen Freel. I hear Dick Runyon has been coming over here at noon for quite a while. Pat Clark, could you by chance tell us why? Do those sweet little smiles and notes Robert Chenoweth gives Carol Chamberlin mean anything? All the girls are asking why Paul Smith is so hard to get. Wake up Paul and get yourself a lady friend. What happened to Barbara Nicholls and Bill Coffman? Are you through with the boys, Barbara? Katie Thomas, what is this we hear about you going out with that high school boy? Warning boys, Louise Smith is out to find herself a boy friend. Calling Fred Shinault, calling Fred Shinault, be on the lookout for all girls. They seem to be swarming after you. It seems as though Joan Smith is having competition. Barbara Pence is after Bob Blacker also. Hopkins and lipstick don't mix so well this year, so the 9A girls tell me. Violet Stewart, what's that we hear about you trying to get your big sister's boy friends?
