L36 e Uflarzfiafaez e a e 368 QQZQLCZZS Why are all these students lined up by that door? , asks a stranger who has just entered the building. Oh, this is the day The Oracle, our school weekly, comes off the mirneograph. The papers are distributed from the book room and there is always a rush at dismissal to see who will be first to get his copy. And why shouldn't there be a rush? The Ord High Oracle is as necessary to our school life as the Delphian Oracle was to the ancient Greeks. The classic warriors consulted their Oracle to determine whether the gods would smile or frown upon certain undertakings, but our Oracle is broader in its scope. It not only casts a shadow of coming events, but also preserves the substance of those that are past. The Delphian priestess gave her prophesies in such an obscure and ambig- uous manner that many interpretations were possible. There is noth- ing doubtful about the items in our Oracle. The reporters get things straight and report them in the same manner, If it isn't in the Oracle, it hasn't happened and isn't going to happen: if it is in the Oracle the last word is said. This paper under the efficient sponsorship of Miss Slote and with the indispensable aid of Clara, appears again this year in mimeographed form after having been run in the Ord Quiz last year as a school section of that paper. This year's first issue appeared September 25th. A call was issued early in September for those interested in newspaper work to contribute their time and talent to the school sheet. In November definite departmental assignments were made while Laverne Hansen and Eva Umstead shared the editorial responsibility. Eva finally became chief editor but resigned the position to take up her duties as editor of the annual. Laverne Lakin then took over the job, proving himself an industrious and efficient newspaper man. After various changes the production staff became definitely fixed as follows: lddito - - - l.nX'ei'iie linkin I 1 i i l Sobuii Sports - - Robert Williamson 1111 Ruth Hemi Art - - - - Maxine Jones 1 l 1 I ihine Ball bociety Y - - Myrtle- Forne I I bl t I N Iluemei' Feature - I llinn Y: 1 I ill XI XI B ' e- Slove I23I

9 22 il Dec Dec Dec. Dec Dec Dec D60 Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Feb Feb Feb. Feb Feb. Feb Feb Feb. Feb. Feb Dec! Qfwnfaz Cafancfaz DECEMBER Winter sports get under way. First basketball practice of the season. Ping-pong runs close rival to perpetual motion. Red and White Banquet. We find the football stars can make toasts as well as touchdowns. The debate teams go to St. Paul and persuade all the teams there, except Grand Island's, that State Medicine , is the thing. Girl Reserves revert back to childhood and trim a Xmas tree. Ord demonstrates new basketball rules for Loup Valley visitors. The biggest drawing attraction of the school year-the annual Christmas program. The first day of winter, but who cares about that? It's the first day of Christmas vacation that matters. JANUARY Best wishes for a successful Leap Year! 37 to 19 in St. Paul's favor. Too bad Ord! But you can't keep a good team down. Ord 28, Sargent 24. The Chanticleers are coming right up! The Juniors get in a bunch of 'famateursn to put on their class day program for them. Pop-Eye must have had an extra helping of spinach. He made quite a hit. Sophomore class surely has a fine bunch of babies-but you wouldn't think they would admit it publicly. Doubled the score on Scotia. Must have been the effect of that popular music we enjoyed in convocation. You know- The Music Goes Round and Round? Yes, another game. This is basketball season, in case you haven't heard. Kearney, we did hate to lose that game, but we made you work to win it. A new semester. Here's where I turn over a new leaf. Oh, heck, they're stuck together! Junior High convocation. No babies nor amateurs either. There is real talent in that bunch. This time Ravenna was the loser-the score, 35 to 15. FEBRUARY That Heart Sister of mine keeps me running all over this build- ing, but I don't mind. Arcadia, maybe you can hold us in football, but you surely can't in basketball. Chanticleers brave worst storm of the year to keep an appoint- ment with the Broncos at Hastings, only to be snowed under 41 to 10. Freshmen laugh at the elements from the snug pro- tection of their airport. Broken Bow breaks Ord's spirits-but not beyond repair. Who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin ? It pays to know. Confetti, horns, telegrams, pop, puppets, fortunes, King and Queen of Hearts! Guess what! Such a mess! The morning after the evening before. Mr. Cass stars in ping-pong. He should beat a Freshie. Doctor in Spite of Himself? Thank you, Sterling players, for the entertainment. St. Paul, Loup Valley Tourney Cham- pions in spite of Ord. Thanks, boys, for the free-throw trophy. The Sophomores must be Scotch. They see a double feature.

To transact such business as may come before us, to strengthen the ties of friendship that bind us together, and to make the Ord Hi-Y Club, and ourselves as individuals, of greater service to our school and com- munity. i'Fellow members, what is our purpose? To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character. Clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarship, and clean living. Every other Monday evening a group of our high school young fel- lows can be found assembled in the music room opening a business meeting and program with the above ritual. Not always are they so serious, though they do strive to carry their purpose and platform over into all their activities from programs to feeds. In the years to come as some old grad turns the leaves of his 1936 Annual he will chance upon this page and renew the acquaintance of his old Hi-Y pals. As he studies the faces he starts musing and to his mind comes memories of the big St. Paul football rallyg football pro- gramsg the membership drive and chili feedg dispensing hot-dogs and coffee at the football gamesg the Hi-Y district meeting and banquet at St. Paulg the Older Boys, Conference at Yorkg initiation and another chili feedg the pop stand at the Carnivalg Hi-Y pep bandg and the ping- pong tournament. A fine bunch of fellows they were, and we did have some good times together.
