KOBE AT iVJjKUS VJHY TEACHERS GET GRAY As the old clock in the office ticked nine o'clock, students with a courteous shooing by Mr. 'Valker come stalking into the various classrooms with much confusion and noise. Books are dropped on the desks, chairs drug across the floor, loud greetings are exchanged. Just once a damsel sat ouietly in her seat, only to let out a blood-curdling scream. (I think she got the point) She sat on a tack placed on her chair by an ungrateful classmate. Just as conversation was raging furiously the teacher very audaciously said, Be Quiet! As knowledge gently flows from the teacher, heads begin to drop drowsily on the desks. Like magic, here and there appears comic books, wood carvers start carving hearts etc. on desks, hair doos are adjusted, note writings start here and there, nail polish is out on and taken off, two boys in the back row told a good joke and laughing and back slapping is the only method of congratulation. Through all this the teacher teaches dutiful on and the few front seat students glow with knowledge. Those in the back must be near sighted or something. (Mostly something) As the class settles back to a civilised routine, everyone begins to sense an unusual (yes, very unusual) odor floating into the room. Did you ever get a good whiff or rotten eggs? If so, you know what I'm talking about. Upon investigation it proves to be only an experiment in Chemistry class. Peace? and auiet? are resumed again when wham! the class room door opens and the office girl informs the teacher she is wanted on the telephone. Bedlam breaks 1oose as the teacher dis-apoears. Chalk, reasures, booko, etc. are all in order. The teacher returns with fear and trembling, opens the door cautiously, only to find it is nearly tire for the bell, The bell rings and a mad scramble for the door wich books flying and desks knocked over and the teacher tramped on a-.i the students rushing madly on to the next class room only to start the whole thing over again. Anonymous. SONNET for SENIORS So slowly tick the clock- in younger years,. A jolly freshman thinks he must grow old. To be a sophomore sedate, and bold Indeed to contemplate the work and tears That juniors suffer to produce a prom. Anticipation makes a junior seem Too starry-eyed and rathev off the beam To seniors in sophisticated calm. But wistful visions of the golden day For caps and gowns, and presents, pretty flowers. Admiring hosts, makes seniors' proudest hours Those last fast-ticking ones along the way; Then senior's learn there is no end of things. But ceaseless change and striving all life brings.

Wanda Huffine and Donald Eson were later chosen to represent the class as Student Council menfcers. The class began its first activities by holding a Hallcereen party at Lake Springfield on October 30.

Then came the Junior play—HERE COMES CHARLIE—which turned out to be a vere enjov-able evening. The Juniors next sponsored a St. Patricks Donee on March 14. Everyone attending was asked to wear something green. Everyone enjoyed the evening. The Junior Class worked all year to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. The theme of the Prom was The Old Lamplighter. It was decorated with lamp posts and old fashioned peoole. Music was furnished by Frankie Leonard's Orchestra.

CLASS P30PH3CI Flight 27 leaving on runway 5J This message cane over the loudspeaker at the City 1-Iunicipal Hroort. I was hurrying to catch this plane because I had to be in Chicago by morning. I'll take a roundtrip ticket for Chicago please. Why, arent you Bob Goli ?htly, who used to po to Pawnee Hieh School?” Why yes, I'm Bob, I'm the owner of Golightly Continental Airlines and didn't you go to Pawnee High School also? Why yes.' and I really would like to ston and talk, but I’ve ?ot to catch a plane. I can't stop to talk but I’m verv glsd I met vou. I rushed out to the runwav and boarded my oland for CMca ?o. Soon the stewardess came through to tell the pa sen ers to fasten their safetv belts. As she turned her back the name Laura Student was sewed on her uniform. I remember now that Laura always had wanted to be a stewardess. We were aloft now and I was enjoying the trip immensely. I glanced around and I thought the person seated next to me looked rather familiar. Since my trio v'ould take about an hour I struck up a conversation with this person. I was very surprised and happy to learn that he was tionald Scott, one of mv old school chums. He was traveling to Los Angeles for a business conference. We began talking of those good old days and since Ronnie hadn't been in the old home town for a good many years he, naturallv, wanted to know all about all of his other classmates I told him that '!ary Ellen Smith now owned a Roller Skating Rink and as doing a barrell house business. He said he always thoueht Smittv ould be a professional cheerleader; but, she always liked s atinc and the instructors. Ronnie said that he had been in New Yor1' recentlv and had run into Gene Culvany who was leaving for Eurooe to partieinate in the Olymnics. Gene was always a good athlete and I’m sure he will bring home a cup. Ronnie also said that Gene planned to visit the King and Queen of Zanzibar, the former 3ettie Lou Davidson, being the Queen. The plane terminal was very corwded but I managed to soueeze myself through, and arrive outside the building, all in one piece. I yelled for a taxi and noticed the name on the side of the car; Eson, Eson Eson. Of course, this was Donald Eson, but who were the other two? I later found out they were Donalds' two sons and that Donald also owned a florist shop. Ify stomach told me it was time for lunch and after calling the manager of the hotel I learned that the best place to dine was Burnt)'s Sandwich Shoo. The Sandwich Shoo was one of the finest in the country and was so large that they ran small trains through the lining rooms. I also learned that Admiral Russell Jennings was to be a Guest soeaker ■ at a Sprotsman dinner that evening so for two reasons I secured a ticket. My first reason was to see if it was the ,:Droop Jennings I had known back at Pawnee High School and the second I wanted to hear him talk. Russell was very surprised when I showed up ar.d also surprised at the amount of food I consumed. They also had the top entertainers of the countrv. This included Shirley Manning, the famous oi?no player. Evervone knew she would be a great hit after, A Jeep On A Long, Lon , Load. As I looked over the crowd I sew anda Huffine and her husband dining at a near by table. Panda's .:usband is an agriculture snecialist and it one of the richest men in the worlc. 1ip lunch was served and as I was ' ■'soaring to leave, who should aooear, but Candy Kt-ssler and French Fry. Po . ou remember Ro -emary K«ssler and Gertrude Fry? ’'fell, here they are in the flesh, rtey et� v to r ,ars Models and are both engaged to wealthv oil men from Teyas. I had never dreamed 1 would have such a oleasant trio, and I am oroud to know my school chums turned out So well SENIOR CUSS Last Will and T t ament SENIOR WILL: Being of a sound mind and of a gracious disposition, we the Senior Class of Pawnee High School do hereby will and beoueath the following: To our sponsor.

The following officers were elected: President, Mary Lou Willenborg; Vice President, Pete Vangeison; Treasurer, Mary Jane Wright; Secretary, Beverly Dodd. Our first event was a weiner roast and a hay ride. Next was the Junior Play, Busy As A Beaver , which was a ereat success, and we will never forget it. We have been wording verv hard this vear to raise enoueh money for the Junior-Senior Bancuet and Prom. The theme of this prom was Hawaii. This ends a great and busv vear for the Junior Class. COMMA CONSCIOUS A student was having trouble with punctuation and was being called down by the teacher. Never mind, sonny, said the visiting school board oresident, consolingly. It’s foolish to bother about commas. They don't amount to much anyway. Elizabeth Ann, said the teacher quietly to a small girl in the class, please write this sentence on the board: 'The presi- dent of the board says the teacher is misinformed.' Now, she continued, put a comma after 'board' and another after 'teacher'! RULES FOR 7.'KING SXA’ S 1. Enter the oom nonchalantly. 2. If a member of the faculty is in the room it might be well to slip him a quarter. 3. Go up and kid the teacher. U. ’Whatever you do, appear at ease. Get a bunch of kids in the back of the room and tell them a story. 5. Get plenty of naper; any extra will come in handy. 6. When the teacher tells the class to separate, get a seat well up in front. This will throw him off guard. 7. Roll uo your sleeves to show you have nothing concealed. If this is done with dexte iov, the oonv in •' our cuff will not show. Tien vou get through be sure and separate all paper out of loose sheets that mi ht prejudice the teacher against vou. 9. If vou haven't crammed for the exam, Praver sometimes helos. 10. Don't expect God to take the test for vou. He helps those who help themselves. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Prc sI den t... Vice P re sIde n t Secre t« ...... Tre sore ......

All classes and organizations had a concession. The various concessions were a bingo stand, penny-pitch, free throw toss, crazy-house, telegraph office, and several raffles. Ti.e main feature of the evening was the crowning of the Varsity Queen, Bettie Lou Davidson. Dancing was en.ioyed bv a large grouo of people from 9:20 to 12:00. The first activitv of the FHA was a chilli suooer held in recognition of the National FHA Week. Next was a Christmas part held at the home of our Chapter Mother, Mrs. Huffine. At the annual school carnival, the FHA raffled off a basket of groceries. Also our club was proud t at Betxie Lou Davidson, our Vice-President, was crowned queen. Another money-making project was a bake sale held Februarv the 28th at the Legion Hall. A Mother and Daughter Banauet was held March 30 at the ?fethodist Church. Our theme hawaii was carried out on the invitations, favors, and decorations. A formal dance held April 2? at the Hierh School closed the FHA activities for the year. Officers for the year were Barbara Sheedy, President; Bettie Lou Davidson, Vice-President; Anne hinder. Secretary; Maxine Minder, Treasurer; Mildred Abberley, Reporter. BA M D The band began this last school year of 47-48 with 33 members. Sorry to say it has lost several members throughout the year, but it has also gained a few. Every Wednesday and Friday there were regular band rehearsals. The Grade School band members came over to the High School during these rehearsals. Last October three members were sent to olav with the Masses Band that played before the teachers of Sangamon Countv during the Teacher's Institute. Mr. Hitte also selected seven members to go to Jacksonville last January, but it seems only a few dould yo. These olayed in a concert led by a guest conductor. Although some hated to go to band rehearsals, we believe they thoroughly enjoved it after they we e once playing. We dare sav ur. Hitte didn't enjoy some of the oranks that were olayed.

Dozier Sherman Scott Delores Henson Maxine Minder Joan Smith Mary Ellen Smith Ella Vangeison Elizabeth Wagner LETTER E Some one has advanced the opinion that the letter E is the most unfortunate character of the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash, forever in debt, never out of danger, and in Hell all the time. For some reason he overlooked the fortunates of the letter, so we will call his attention to the fact that E is never in war, always in peace, it is the beginning of existence, the commencement of ease, the end of trouble, without it there would be no meat, no life, no heaven. It is the center of honesty, makes love Derfect, and without it there would be no devils, angels, editors, news, or lies—also women I BUS STOP V 0 SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES of P. H. S.
