The Christmas Carol was given on the 21st by the members of the Masque and Gavel. The program was very well done. December 22 was our last day of school for the year. Everyone met in the auditorium the second period and sang Christmas carols. Each home room had a party, with treats and exchanges. School was dismissed at noon and we were told not to come back until 1945. Merry Christmas, Jill January Dear Jack, We started our new year out with an ex- tra week of vacation because of bad weather. We did start on the 9th and learned that in the spring we would have to make up the time we had lost. Arcola and Huntertown started the Coun- ty Tourney on the 17th. New Haven played Friday night, and we trimmed Harlan 63-27. The finals were played on Saturday night with Leo defeating the Bulldogs 37-43. Elvie was high scorer of the county at the beginning of the tournament with 214 points. Pinky and Elvie made the all-county team this year as guard and center. and Ted Butt and Dick Adams received honorable mention. On the 26th the juniors gave a program during activity period. The juniors and seniors had their class pictures taken on the 30th and 31st. I'll be here next month with more. Bye. Jill February Dear Jack, The Sunshine sponsored a Valentine dance on the 10th. The gym was decorated with big red hearts and a white picket fence with love seats on the opposite side of the fence, We danced to the music of Gene Till's orchestra. Our last game of the season was played on the 16th. We defeated Hoagland 51-23. On the 18th we had a lot of excitement. The north-west corner of the gymnasium burned. I don't think any one quite realized the value or fully appreciated the gym until now. The questions most prominent in every- one's mind now are Where is the Prom going to be? and Where are the Commencement exercises going to be held? Don Cheviron and Bud Remenschneider left for Indianapolis on the 27th to take their physicals for the Navy. They came back on the 29th and we learned that they passed. They are waiting for their call now. I'll be seeing you next month. Bye. Jill CContinued on page 459 Sponsored by Harmon's Service Station

ri gg e fm rw r- 5? X ., .X i ig ... September and October Dear Jack, On September 5, our summer vacation came to an end, and we picked up our beloved books and start- ed back to school. Of course, our teachers were very glad to see all of the old headaches again, and to wel- come the green little freshmen. On the 13th our Fall Convocation was held dur- ing activity period. Reverend Ehrman was the speaker. er. On the evening of the 21st the Sunshine Society held its annual Dinky Formal Party. Eleanore Kitchen, Barbara Knox, and Mary Ann Long received all day suckers for having the most unusual costumes. Elea- nore was a doctor, Barbara a nurse, and Mary Ann Cof all thingsi was a baby in a carriage. The Mirage Staff held its first meeting on the 27th, and the Sunshine initiation was held during activity period on October 5. On October 6 the senior class began to feel that they were really seniors and started looking at invita- tions and name cards. On the 18th, the seniors had a class party at the Conservation Club where they stuffed themselves with hot dogs, candy, cider, potato chips, and pumpkin pie. On the 20th we were ably entertained by the band. Joe Bolyard did a fine job announcing the pro- gram. The sophomore skating party was held on the 23rd and I personally saw Mr. Miller take a super flop. Our first vacation came on the 26th and 27th with the Teacher's Association. Soon our activities of September and October were at an end, but I'll be around next month. Bye for now, Jill November and December Dear Jack. November always seems a busy month and every one soon gets into the full swing of things. On the 3rd our basketball season opened with a win over De- catur Catholic. After the game a stocking dance was held in the gym. The Ramsey-Adams band furnished the music. Home room 15 gave a Thanksgiving program on the 22nd. Mrs. Herman Brinkley presented a book of Shakespeare's works to the school in honor of Lt. James W. Krueck, a graduate, who was killed in ac- tion. On Nov. 24 the juniors had their skating party. On December 12 and 13. school was dismissed because of bad weather. Some of the seniors got their class pictures on the 20th. The ones I saw were very good, but I wonder why Jack Birt and Alvena Kanning wouldn't open theirs. Sponsored by Ternet Funeral Home
