Calendar SEPTEMBER 4-School doors opened today after a joyous sum- mer vacation. Green Frosh crowded the seniors from the assembly. Of course, the senior boys didn't mind. As we walked we could hear, Hey, look at those legs, Hubba-Hubba! echo down the halls. This might not be such a dull year after all. How about that fellows? 22--Frosh initiation-and how those good look- ing kids suffered-paddle line an' alll The girls con- soled themselves by saying, We get a party tonight, but golly, look at our hair. 29-Today the Frosh painted the M They looked like white-washed mummies when they came back. fMiss Flynn would like to know where all the boys went. She declares they weren't at work.l OCTOBER 8-Mrs. Crump left us today and we did hate to see her leave. Miss Dugan took the position as head of the English Department. 'IO-Speed and Norman played instrumentals for the Masons. The Nonetto sang three songs. We were quite uncomfortable as the audience stared at us, but you should have seen the food disappear when we seated ourselves to a delicious meal served us by the Eastern Stars. 16-The Nonetto chorus sang for Eastern Star. We are getting more calm and collected as we make more public appearances. 19-Sophomore girls prepared a banquet for the Commercial Club. lt was a great success-except they find that throwing buns behind radiators isn't such a good way to warm them. Boys' chorus sang but, the boys think their music would promote more indigestion than digestion. 23-Freshmen return party. Dances, dates, and fun. lWe should have more tag dances, don't you think, kids?l Mrs. Daugherty, Pinkie, and Kenny are a very good combination for putting out jazz. 27-Senior Class rings arrive. NOVEMBER 2-Played Ronan a game of football and won the Northwestern Championship Trophy, Weren't we happy and proud though? 6-Hot lunches started today in the new lunch room. No more packing lunches for Mom. Pretty neat. 9-Very sad day for M. H. S. We were defeated by Phillipsburg for the Western Divisional Championship by only a few points gained at the very end of the game. This is the first football game Mission lost since we were Freshmen. i9-Home Economics girls journeyed to Polson Country Club for the Home Economics district meet- ing. They presented a skit, Family Album. 20-Junior play practice started today. Murder Mansion will be presented January l0, with a very talented cast under the direction of Mr. Crump. 21-We had a mixer in the gym, lots of fun but why do some of the boys insist upon dimming the lights? Could it be they have found someone that they like and can't risk the possibility of someone else get- ting the same ideas? How about that Frosh l 22-Thanksgiving vacation. Did that word vaca- tion sound good! That alone, we thought, was enough to be thankful for. 23-F.F.A. boys spend week end in Glacier Park. They left town after the Plains game, returned in the wee hours Monday morning. 30-Basketball begins. We are hoping for a trophy this year, too. DECEMBER I0-Home Economics girls of the senior class cooked a very good meal for the Commercial Club banquet, but Miss Flynn has yet to find out who really let the sauce burn. Everybody says it was because the stove wasn't functioning correctly. Could that be? How about it Marjorie? l9-Junior class had a sleigh-ride party. It was re- ported that everyone had a very good time, but we wonder where those black eyes came from. Chili was served in the Home Ec. roam after the ride. Could that be why the large majority of the group weren't at school the next day? 2l-Home Ec. Club had their Christmas party to- day. Grand affair, food, presents and all. Lila is still trying to decide when they started putting nipples on Coke bottles. 21-Christmas vacation starts today. Eat plenty kids, for tomorrow you may die! And don't forget to return January 2, ISQ

.N . c. Z' e ,,--L .Z ' Q N Q, W-. z s . . H ,.--...--- As l was going into the dark depths of the Pacific Ocean somewhere off the coast of Java onto the floor of the ocean, where nature has provided more beauty and splendor than most people will ever see, I encountered o mermaid sitting comfortably on a huge rock on the ocean floor. Then everything went black. As I came to, I found myself in the presence of several mer- maids, each one more beautiful than the last. It seems that I had caught the air hose under a rock which cut off my supply of oxygen. The queen of the mermaids said that anyone sur- viving such an accident deserved to know what was in the future for him and his classmates. I con hear her soft feminine voice now say- ing: I can see a dark girl, Dorothy Anderson, happily running a beautiful ranch house some- where in Texas. She makes a good ranchers' wife. - That very pretty blonde, Frances Jacobson, is matching wallpaper and draperies in some millionaire's summer home in California. Oh! Oh! she just fell from a ladder when doing a perfect demonstration on interior decorating. Mildred Nuse stands primping before 0 large mirror somewhere in New Leipzig, North Dakota. She's probably attending a ball. Somewhere in California, I see Lela Bates surrounded by several very handsome men. l now see in New York your Montana friend, Alma Clayton, leading actress of the Broadway hit, who is very much interested in the famous sights of the city, but who is a little lonesome for good old Mission. Sleeping comfortably undemeath o shade tree in the backyard of her home you'll tlnd Lorraine Barnhouse. She looks very contented and happy. Ah, for the love of sleep. cess. .-R 'Q 'wifi 33 l,',, 7 ,A - -'gf-' -5 lt is written here, on my beloved rock of knowledge that one of your very intelligent classmates from Mission High, Parley Smith, is really seeing the world through the lens of a camera at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. All I can soy is, more power to him. IHubba! Hubbell l can also see another of your friends, Everett Nelson, out in the sunshine, a specimen of health, growing beautiful roses, all sizes, shapes, and colors. He looks indescribably happy. I now see LaVonne Simon energetically working over the color scheme of her home in Ronan, Montana. She really looks contented, and I'll bet she is. Ah, and here, covered with grease and dirt, with his curly blonde locks continually getting in hissparkling blue eyes, I find Warren Coch- ran. I'll bet he has been working like mad on someone's old Mercury. That's Cocky living the 'life of Riley'. A whale swam past and obscured our view, but it did not interrupt the revelation of the future for long. Now 'Leishman is living alone with a dozen cats, happily surrounded by their family of fuzzy, purring kittens. She is reading a book of Poe, munching cookies, and finishing a five- pound box of chocolates. Through the haze I see Tes Ialias, Tom Stolll emptying garbage cans in a terrific hurry as he has a date with a beautiful red head. Trouble is, he wants to get rid of her and take a blonde, but if he does that, the brunette will get mad. Oh, for the life of a Romeo! l see Lester McKeever trying to control a class of giggling girls. lt isn't every day that girls are taught Spanish by a dashing young casanova. . 'FS v' I W ee ? ' 8
