PAGE SIXTY- Veronica Veit, Helen Reuber, Janet Sonksen, Myra Dreessen, Ardine Bettin lllf Ellllllll Ellllllllllll Every Friday afternoon the stenog class turned out the school paper to be printed as three columns in The Odebolt Chronicle the following Thursday. After running around to pick up news from the teachers and grades, the girls on the staff made the commercial room ring with banging typewriters, giggles and laughs. Myra wrote those features about some of the special things that happened around school, and news from some of the grades. Helen wrote up the hot lunch menus and senior hi classes. Between trips back to Ardine's spot, Veronica edited the news from junior hi and the rest of the grades. Ardine had the column with the funnies and the senior interviews. Janet was editor and did odd jobs besides writing editorials, and Miss Bruce cen- sored the copy. Our paper got some recognition when this part of one of the editorials was quoted in the bulletin for lowa columnists: There probably isn't any- body who wants to go into service at a time like this-or at any time as far as that goes-but it has to be done. Right now our country is in a state of national emergency, and that isn't a thing to be taken lightly. As much as most people hate the idea, personal feelings and plans have to be put aside. When the future and fate of a country are at stake its people have to take care of that first. They say you can get killed just as easily in civilian life as you can in the service-fall in an open manholt, get run over by a car. But there probably is something about staring down the barrel of some Russian Communist's rifle that isn't exactly like crossing the street. Nobody likes it, but it has to be because it is. But gratifying as it was to be quoted in such a publication, our great- est satisfaction came from having the people who read the paper every week, tell us that they liked it. We had fun putting out the paper, we learned a lot by doing it, and we hope our readers enjoyed our product. FOUR

Sllllg Elllllllllll On March 2 we were all ready for the launching of the big '5l Trojan but thanks to Mr. Snow, scfiool let out early and the carnival was postponed to the next week. Step right up and see the big stage show was the cry of Don Gunderson as the big affair got un- der way March 8. And due to the work of the senior class with Howie Einspahr and Janet Sonksen in charge, the carnival was a big suc- cess. Besides the fellas and girls who ran the penny tosses, basket- ball shoots, scale squeeze, the cast included the midget weight lifters, Ronnie Salmonson, Gordie Haefner, Robert Hart, and Bill Brown, with Rog Buxton as the weight. The grunt and groan department was commanded by Big Don Dreessen and Whiskers Haradon, And be- tween giggles and drooping turbans, Ruthies Kruser and Treman were the Slinky snake charmers, with their snake's aid, Neil Schroeder. Everybody had a swell time intel- l e c t u a I ly and gastronomically speaking, for umpteen cases of pop. and cartons of candy bars were de- voured in the short span of time from three fifteen until four o'clock. And the tinkle of the small change as it dropped into the cash boxes was music to the earts of the year- book staff. lncidentally, a-total of one hundred eighty annuals were sold, at the most successful sales carnival O. H. S. has put on in four years. PAGE SIXTY-SIX LUNCH TIME-POP-CAN DY SNAKE CHARMERS Kruser Treman WEIGHT-LIFTERS l N ACTlON
