Above is pictured our undefeated NORTH TRAMPLES GREAT BEND 33 TO 0 A great ninth grade football game came to an end with the wonderful score of 33-0 over Great Bend! It was played here, October 6. Touchdowns were made by Ted Coffman, Earcel McCabe and Charles Roth. Coffman and McCabe scored two touchdowns eachg Roth made one. Extra points were scored by Robert Johnson, Ted Coffman and Earcel McCabe. I thought the boys played good hard football, but they must continue to improve if they want to win more games, remarked Coach Burch after the game. NUTTY CHEERLEADERS No sir, I just couldn't believe my eyes, but I guess it must be true! I walked with Marsha Kresge, in the rain, to the ninth grade game on October 18. Our team played against McPherson High. Vlhen we got there, I, of course, head- ed for shelter: but not this nutty Kresge kid. She is a cheerleader, and I guess she wanted to prove some- thing, so what did she do? That's right! She cheered! Here it is now, pouring down rain and a nutty girl is standing there cheering to about four girls! Marsha may be a little odd, but she sure is keeping the school spirit! One cat to another, while looking at an Egyptian mummy in a museum: Dig that crazy band-aid! IT'S SO TRUE mettem we likem likem we- datem, datem we dancem dancem we kissem kissem we lovem lovem we losem Darnem! We We We We We We eighth grade football team. MCPHERSON SLOSHES OVER FROSH: 6-0 Fifty, faithful, gridiron fans sat in a cold, drizzling rain on October 18, to watch McPherson beat our ninth grade team, 6 to 0. McPherson's only touchdown came in the third quarter. They did not make the extra point. Late in the second quarter, we almost made a touchdown. We were on the nine yard line when a run around the end was tried. This was not successful, as we were taken for a five yard loss. Before we could make another attempt, the half was sound- ed. The rain and cold wind seemed to put a damper on our chances of win- ning. UNDEFEATED, BUT ONCE TIED Finishing the season with an un- defeated, but once tied record, the eighth grade football team beat Hutch- inson Plaza 14 to 0, on October 19- Both touchdowns were scored by David Page. William Gadson and Kenny Long made the extra points. Mr. Sackrider and Mr. Pickering felt that the team's record was not due to just two or three boys, but to out- standing team effort, In the game October 19, Kenny Long did a very good job as quarterback. Our congratulations go to our eighth grade team and coaches for playing an undefeated season. Teacher: You boys in the back of the room-stop passing notes! Student: Them ain't notes, teacher, them's cards, we're playin' poker! Teacher: Ccoming out of an anestheticj Why are the blinds drawn, Doc? Doctor: There's a fire across the street and I didn't want you to think the operation was a failure. ARE YOU A GAD-ABOUT AT THE GAMES? Have you been a Game Gad- About lately? If some of you honor- able people don't know what a Game Gad-About is, I will tell you! A Game Gad-About is a person who wouldn't miss a game, only so that he can yell and wave to his friends. Game Gad-Abouts never sit down because they are afraid they might not get to talk to Johnny or Kathy. Game Gad-Abouts only sit down when they are tired of walking all over the stadium. Then do you think they pay attention to the games? No, of course notg they must show Mary or Tom their new shirt, bracelet, or tell them the latest joke. Maybe if the Game Gad-Abouts would sit down and pay attention to the game, they would realize how much work the football players, coach- es, cheerleaders, pep club, etc., put into each game. Then maybe they would find out they have been miss- ing something all these times. Basketball season will soon be start- ing, so let's not have any Game Gad- Abouts there! NINTH VICTORIOUS On October 13, the ninth grade foot- ball team, traveling to Hutchinson, stomped Liberty 39 to 0. Touchdowns were made by Othello Meadows, two, Earcel McCabe, two: Chuck Reinbold, oneg and Bill Eubanks scored on a pass interception. Extra points were made by John Woodward, Chuck Reinbold, and Ted Coffman. An exceptional run was made by Othello Meadows when he ran 80 yards for a touchdown This is the third win for the freshmen team. NORTH TACKS UP A WIN OVER LIBERTY Our 8th grade football team beat Liberty Jr. High with a score of 14-6 on October 12. In the .first quarter, David Page made a touchdown with a set-up pass from Allen Faring to Dennis Culley and William Gadson scored the extra point. During the fourth quarter, Liberty scored a touchdown, but their extra point failed. With only 12 seconds left to play, William Gadson scored a touchdown with a run from the 31 yard line. Dennis Culley scored tne extra point. Coach Sackrider's comment concern- ing the game was: John Wood, Dennis Culley, and-Richard Thompson played very 'well in the line and Kenny Long played nicely as quarter- back.

SNOOPER Pat Lewis: I heard that you and Larry Cox were eating lunch togeth- er, and that he asked you to sit be- side him at lunch again. I hope you had fun! , Why do your bassoon reeds keep .getting covered with mold? Huh, Tom Rethard and Kathy Mad- den? Why is it at lunch you always have your head under the table when Steve Bishop passes by? What about that Donna Batcheller? Ed: Did you hear about the cowboy who could shoot so fast the gun didn't come out of his holster? Ted: No! What's his name? Ed: No Toes Bailey. With the passing of old time outlaws, people who lived in the country thought they were safe from unwel- come visitors. Then came the in-laws.

The angry wife demanded, I want an explanation, and I want the truth. Make up your mind. answered her husband, you can't have both! H IM ll As cold winter days approach, we are forced to spend most leisure hours indoors. One of the most profitable and enjoyable fun-time activities for any time of year is reading. So visit your library, or use your own home's inviting bookshelf. TURNING LEAVES By Meta Adams The turning leaves on the trees right now Are a very beautiful sight. Many people are wondering how They change almost overnight. The tree is the one that causes this, For when it feels the chill, It prepares for Winter's kiss, And stops making chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the juice in the tree That makes the leaves turn green. If there's less of the green in the leaf, there'll be More reds and yellows seen. These are the Autumn signs we've found That tell us Winter is near, And that after the leaves are safe on the ground, The Winter's snows will appear.

Nancy Moore played the processional and the program was presided over by Cheryl Wolf. The program was presented as a skit. In the first scene, Barbara Rueb, Cheryl Wolf, Sue Hinkle and Barbara Solberg were planning the program, and in the next scene, it was present- ed. For the devotional period, Deanna Cowan read Psalm 1 and Carol Chris- tensen gave a talk on good election qualifications. Then Sue Hinkle led the group in prayer. Following this, the Saint John's Baptist Choir sang a beautiful song, Lead Me, Guide Me. Jan McAninch told the girls of the qualifications of a good Y-Teen mem- ber. Marsha Kresge then explained the Y.W.C.A. Market Day. The norrgnations and electidhs for officers were then held. Kathy Eng- strom was elected president, Helene Kalb was elected vice-president, Judy Johnson was elected treasurer, and Betty Kastner was elected secretary. YOU CAN KEEP CLEAN The sound of a movie projector could be heard at the eighth grade as- sembly on October 21. The eighth graders were entertained by a film on courtesy and good grooming, both of which should be of great importance to every teen-ager. Mr. Scott then gave the group a pep talk on making good grades this year and on working up to the height of our abilities. He also pointed out that good grooming is very important, and that whether your clothes are ex- pensive is not the problem, but keep- ing clean and being neatly dressed at all times is something that each student can do easily and this will surely make for a greater sense of personal satisfaction. PEP CLUB HAS FIRST MEETING Organization of our pep club was held in the Lincoln gym on October 10. During the meeting, which was held after school, officers were chos- en to keep order during the games and to see to it that other duties are taken care of. The officers are: Sandy Ludes, presidentg Jinna Rittenhouse, vice-president, and Jane Akers, sec- retary. Sponsors are: Miss Cassell and Mrs. Wise. After the officers were chosen, sev- eral cheers were given, led by the cheerleaders, and then the meeting was dismissed. . It is hoped that at the next meeting more boys will attend.

IIUHIHIHN HIL Vol. X No. 3 November 23, 1960 H l ' U .Planning to have turkey for Thanksgiving dinner? John Becker fwith axl and Jeff Rees lholding turkeyl are shown at Lowe's Poultry Store preparing to give the ax to this calm turkey. Nancy Moore is attempting to protect the turkey. STUDENT LEADERS OF THE WEEK We have decided again this year to have student leaders of the week in- stead of class officers. They will be recommended by the student body. Students can write letters recommend- ing other students by listing their out- standing qualities. You can send these letters to the Student Council by hand- ing them at either office. This nomi- nates the student named in the letter for Student of the Week. The student council executive board looks over the letters each week and votes on which persons they think should be student leaders in each grade for that week. They keep each letter three weeks and then destroy it. Suppos- edly, one boy and one girl from each grade will be chosen each week. At the end of the year, four students from each grade will he chosen as class rep- resentatives for the year out of this group. The seventh and eighth grade classes es have Written several letters but the ninth grade has sent in only one or two. So keep it up, seventh and eighth graders, and get on the ball, freshmen! CONVENTION TIME FOR TEACHERS Vacation! could be heard at all schools in Salina, as the last bell rang RESOLVED. THE UNITED NATIONS SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY STRENGTHENED Resolved, that the UN should be strengthened is the high school debate question for 1960. Every Tuesday night at 7:00, the debate club meets at the senior high. Mr. Mibeck, who is the debate coach at Salina High, is in charge. Freshmen get a chance to debate other people their own age from North and South. They will also get to go on at least one out-of-town debate trip this year if they have a good case. It is very good training if you are planning to be in debate next year, and it is lots of fun even if you aren't. If you are a freshman and think you might be interested, why not come next Tuesday, room 107, in the Salina High. Wednesday, November 3, at Memorial I-iall. Carnations were given to the teachers as they entered, by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The speaker at the beginning session was lmre Kovacs, a Hungarian by birth. who is an expert on Central Europe. Dr. Carl Winters spoke at the last session on Today's Youth in Tomorrow's World. Many ideas and suggestions were given to the teachers, and they found this convention to be very helpful and enjoyable. THANKSGIVING FORGOTTEN? Thanksgiving has nearly been for- fotten these last few years. Stores and people get started talking about Christmas, toys, and Santa Claus, etc. so early that Thanksgiving no longer means anything except a big meal with turkey, cranberries, and the us- ual extras. When our parents were young, they usetl Thanksgiving as a time to be thankful for all the things they have. They went to church together, came home and had a big family dinner, and made the afternoon a happy, thankful time. I am not saying we should do exactly the same things they did, but at least we shouldg stop think and realize how lucky we are to he alive today. So let's try to remember Thanksgiving and try not to let it get lost in the shuffle of Christmas. STUDENTS VOTE, TOO! Students in Mr. Johnson's five de- mocracy classes had the chance to ex- ercise their voting privileges in a class election held November 7. The election returns were: Presi- dent- Nixon and Lodge over Kennedy and Johnson, 83-48g Governor-Andeh son defeated Docking, 92-333 Senator -Schoeppel was defeated by Theis, 85-39g Sixth District Congressman- Dole overcame Davis, 92-34, Lieuten- ant Governor-Chase over Glaves, 89-37. The school election agreed with the national election in three out of five races. The differences in the two elections were in the presidency, which was actually won by Kennedyg and in the race for senator, which was ac- tually won by Schoeppel. TEACHERS GET NEW OFFICE This Vear is the first time the teach- ers, organization of Salina has had a special room of its own for committee meetings. Before this, the teachers have had to meet in private homes and at the different schools. The room is in Washington building and was decorated by the teachers themselves, The Board of Governors' meetings and committee meetings, etc., are held there. In the future, the teachers plan to es- tablish a professional library in the room.
