THE 1946 PEP PAGE FIVE Some are sad, some are mad, some are glad-Rank card day affects us that way. Assembly with Jessie R. Taylor, reader of monologues. If we throw snow balls at noon, we have to go sit in Mr. Thomas's office and wait for him. It's fun throwing snow balls, but it's no fun waiting for Mr. Thomas, it's less fun when he ar- rives-so, no more snow balls. Pintexico Fair preparations-no time for anything else. More fair-Manual training classes are busy building booths. The Seniors finally decided on a definite plan for a booth. It was really no secret-they just cou1dn't make up their minds. The Cuckoois Nest was shown after school for the grade children. First day of the fair. One session of school. The play was good. The Ju- nior booth was good enough to take first prize. Second day of the fair. Auction sale with Mr. Hanson as auctioneer. Prizes awarded-chickens, wood, tablecloths, butter, dolls, etc. . . The dance spon- sored by the student council was the final event. Saturday, the first day of vacation. Clean-up committees clear up the wreckage. The senior committee strolled in between ten and eleven o'clock after being waked up via telephone. Merry Christmas! Someone did some planning during vacation. Lots of changes are going to be made. JANUARY Mr. McLeod begins the New Year right by joining the faculty of M. H. S. Girls' basketball practice. Band prac- tice. First game of the season. We won. The boys are busy preparing Hanson's Field for a skating rink. There's talk of starting a hockey team. The Winter Sports Team is organized with Mr. Norton as coach. Mr. Dyer arrived to finish out the year in Miss Darrah's place. She's getting married. He's married, girls. Girls' gym classes are starting. The boys got their football letters at a special assembly today. We played Rumford. Berlin beat us. I mean--really. The new schedule is working out well, especially the activity period at the end of the day. It's a busy period. Because some of the bus students haven't been behaving, they all have to wait in school until bus time. Big storm. No school. Next Saturday we have to pay for our day off last Friday. We gain a half day, though. We'll be having one session. Everybody connected with school ex- cept the students met at three o'clock, so we went home. The seniors are having their gradua- tion pictures taken. They look hand- some and beautiful all dressed up. The March of Dimes is on. FEBRUARY The group pictures for Pep were taken bright and early, beginning in period one. Did any ten o'clock scholars lose out? A Saturday in school. We didn't win the game with Oxford. We came out on top with Jay. Snowshoe Clubs are organized for boys and girls. The basketball teams went to Berlin. The Winter Sports team went to Beth- el. They placed sixth in the finals. We got criticized for riding on the bumpers of cars. We got criticized for throwing snow- balls. We're being pretty bad lately. Today, We were warned about marking up desks and walls. Today, four boys skipped school. They'll be sorry, because Mr. Thomas found out. How's the makeup work, boys? Lots of prom talk now-informal or semi-formal? Some fun-only one session. What a storm! Back to school after three and a half days 05. We started the day with movies in the first period.
