2 f THE .VISKODEED VCU! By MARGARET LVDELL IT may be clad in a pair of brilliant cords set off by a peppermint striped sweater, or something equally as startling to the eye. The carriage may be slouched or swaggering, depending upon the atmos- phere and number of feminine admirers. Address it as Heyl You'll be sure of a response. Expect any minute to be treated to an exhibition of its vocal talent or cleverness. Don,t mind its manners. No doubt they'll startle you, and if you can't understand its language, just act interested. It will be appre- ciated. Who is it? The answer, dear people, is a high school student. V If one were unacquainted with students, some of their mannerisms might be a bit confusing. lt seems that most of them think alike when it comes to following ideas or new things. For instance should someone find that Dame Fashion has decreed some- thing new and gaudier in wearing apparel, two days later would find such an array of color in the high school, that rainbows could but hide their heads in shame. V It seems that one identification tag lies in a name. If some people call you by a nickname, you have friends 3 if a great many people do, you rate',g but, if you're dubbed anything from Butch to 'LPal, you may be assured that your acceptance into the inner circle is taken for granted. V The greater part of a student's vocabulary may be called slang, but really it is not. lt is a language unto itself, and anyone trying fully to acquaint him- self with it would find it so. The best place to learn it would be the school hang-0ut.' Here, in all their glory, the students spend their extra time. It is a veritable heaven of the admiration seeker, and wise guyf' V Don't think of high school students as odd crea- tures who, it is hoped, will outgrow their foolishness. They are having a grand time even though some of it is understandable only to themselves, and if you must have some feeling for them, a little envy would be better.

It was then Mishawalta began to debate with other schools. ln non-decision debates, her op- ponents included H1lll1l110Dd, Wiley of Terre Haute, Huntington Township, anti Plymouth. Then there was a non-decision debate tourna- ment at Bourbon, Indiana. 11011 january 17, the school double debated Concord Township and the following Saturday traveled to Hammond and Washington, East Chicago. By this time the team was picked and lim- ited down to six people, they were Margaret Kizer, Eldon Schalliol, and Wylie Voorheis, who composed the affirmative, and Jacob Swartz, John Wolf and Henry Heintzberger, who made up the negative. l1On Ianuary 27. the team traveled to North- side of Fort Wayne for two double debates. After staying all night, they contested the state champions of Churubusco the next day in a double debate. That afternoon saw them in Huntington for another double debate. They spent the evening at Manchester college where they had dinner. lt was a wonderful trip for all. 9 On Ianuary 24, there was a debate with Elk- hart's negative and the following day with their affirmative. Warsaw brought the non-decision debates to an end. Mishawaka's team was then ready to take part in tournament debates: they had their first judge's decision on February 2, when Mr- Coyne of Notre Dame decided in favor of Central of South l3end's affirmative against Mishawaka's negative. The following day was the debate with Riley's negative there. Apodaca of the eco- nomics department of Notre Dame gave the decision to Riley. V011 Feb. I4 were two debates with l-aPorte. Our aHirmative team won, negatives lost. Stoner of Plymouth gave the decision to Mishawakzfs negative against Riley's affirmative when they debated here on February 23. llThe last debate was with Central's negative team, which we lost. This closed the debate season for Mishawalia. A record of four losses and two wins does not show up very well on paper, but when one considers that this team of only a month's ex- perience had to COIDPCKC with debaters of two and three years' experience, one feels rather satisfied at the outcome. V With this one year's experience, having lost only one detbater, Mr. Huber has hopes for a fC0m'luded on page 712

OF THIRTY-THREE II 19335 l-ICDNCDIQABLE DISC!-IARGES By MARIAN WURZ ' O discussions of friends, clothes, or S. P.'s should disrupt class cabinet meetings this year. It is not certain whether woman's return to feminity via the Victorian mode she's been wearing or the depression is the cause. QIt's safe to blame 'most anything on the depression -it's the nation's standard alibi.j Anyway, the honorable discharges of 1933, leading the entire school, went masculine and elected all boys as class officers. An exciting, miniature party campaign yield- ed this list of names to guide the senior ship of state--for better or for worse--during that class's last year of parking privilege at old M. H. S.: Hugh Shown, master of ceremonies, Charles Baldwin, president of the senate, Isa- dore Rosenwasser, ecrivain de tellres, George Long, keeper of the coin, Paul De Caussemaker, Olympic council delegateg and Robert Zimmer- man, ambassador to the august controlling bill- board. How's that for a snappy line-up? Did you catch it all? QAnd is somebody ever up on his titlesll V The first wheel this train set in motion was work on the scenic and literary effort you are now touring-wading through, perhaps. One of the first steps in that direction was the elec- tion of the effervescent lane Myers as Miss Kodeed. The staff also staged a baby parade which starred several prominent seniors such as Tommy Richards, Brewer, Dot Foerster, Tobey Ramsey, and other well-known juve- niles. fSee pictures on another pagej On November 4, the lid popped off the social teapot with the Senior Kick-offf' which was a dance-not a funeral. The stags at eve were numerous, perhaps because, 'being dough- less, they had to be doe-less, although at the end it cost many of them nothing to take a girl home, since it was raining so hard that one could scarcely see the drug-store. If However, the glorious success of The Nut Farm, that crazy comedy of a screen-struck girl, aided and abetted by her mother and hus- band, made a big hit with the 800 persons who saw it. Fittingl Hugh Shown, the class presi- dent, played th mrincipal role, that of the young brother who made a lot of money for his family and acquired a bride besides. The part suited Hugh well, because he is naturally the type of young man he portrayed. fThat was a cute scene in which he kissed Becky Kreps, wasn't it?j The other characters also, made the most of what was probably their last opportunity. Nearly all of them have been in class and club plays before. Harry Castleman, who has been tap-dancing his way through school-when he wasn't playing football and escorting Helen Walters around-has been in four plays, as has Herbert Germann, who plays in the band, is president of H. S. S., and also has a weakness for a certain girl-a different certain one for almost every day fand nightj of the week. If This was the third and most important stage appearance for Rebecca, the sweet young thing, and Iim Cone, Uhe handsome film hero, Marianvixtg-ji Wurz, the mother. We'd like to know what her dead huslband looked like, for, though a red-head herself, she possessed a blond daughter and a brunette son Qnothing like variety in a family, and Ruth Ann Iernegan, her daughter, have each been in two class plays. Ruth Ann really deserves a paragraph for herself. She is an honor student, a member of N. H. S. and H. S. S., president of the Girls' Glee club, a member of the girls' septet, and a praiseworthy artist. If you don't believe it, look at the drawings in this book. They were all made by her own fair hands and those of Carl Hossler, who turned out to be a good yell leader and has put so much advertising on the blackboard and made so many posters that if all his work were put in one of those end to end problems it would look like ingredients for a big bowl of alphabet soup. WRobert Zimmerman, who was Ruth Ann's husband in The Nut Farm, just stepped up from the part he took as her fiance in A Shot in the Dark, that English VII play which was presented at a general assembly. Bob usually doesn't talk unless he has something to say, but he hast made a name for himself scholasti- cally and has also done a lot to make this year's tennis team rate.
