CALENDAR they left the dignity that they had gained dur- ing the past three years at home. As the month closes we find things about nor- mal although we are feeling pretty good to- day, because we beat DePue last evening. Hur- rah for our side! NOVEMBER -Excitement runs high as the election returns come in. The Civics classes are conducting an election too. As the High School goes so goes not the nation. -Utica Jubilee Singers from Tuskegee Institute in Alabama entertained us in an assembly pro- gram this morning. If applause equals ap- preciation, the program was very popular. -Freshmen Home Room 112 gathered at the home of Miss Palmer for a party. fThat is almost as good as Mr. Kelsey having Review papers sprinkled around the room to be correctedb. They enjoy school so much that they called it a Day at School . -Mr. Leonard Applequist of the American Legion told some of the experiences of the war. As it is Armistice Day, this great Institu- tion closed its doors at 12:00. So sad thought not a student! -The Home Economics Club sponsored a tea for the Faculty. They were delightfully entertain- ed with music, readings, and tap dancing talent of the club. S. P. Barney was guest at the Science Club meeting. You all know what it means to be a guest at a club meeting. They want some- thing out of you. This time it was how to make yeast. -The Future Farmers of America entertained the Future Housewives at an evening party. The latter discovered that the former were very poor winkers which has its good points. They 17- 20 21 23- 2-1 25 26 at least can't wink at the other girls either. Miss Ashdown, Phoebe Nichols, Alice Peterson, and Norma June Steele attended a Hi-Tri con- vention at Bloomington. We thought that con- ventions were over with for a short time at least. Kane, the traveler Qwe wonder if he uses a cane, raises cain or, if he uses it for sweeten- ingj dons costumes of foreign countries and re- lates his varied experiences in the oriental lands. - The Whole Town's Talking! -about what? Don't you know? The Junior class play of course. And was it a dandy! Three cheers for their side. Imogene Salmon and Marian Nelson repre- sented us in a verse reading contest-mind you we didn't say worse reading. -The Freshmen go Chinese and show that Chop Suey and Tea make excellent refreshments even though the chop sticks were missing. Seniors, the time is drawing nearer-fWe didn't say it was here yetb. The Invitations were se- lected. -The Freshies aren't so inexperienced in sales- manship. Mrs. Mayeur's Home Room 105 placed first in the magazine sales contest. -A basketball season opens as a starter to the Thanksgiving vacation. -Hurrah! Gee, we just can't say it loud enough. We need your help students. Anyway we can do a fair job of spreading the news. It's Thanksgiving vacation! What's more it's the end of a grade period. We know the teachers will enjoy Thanksgiving because their grades are all in. 30-The end of the month finds us beginning to make out our Christmas lists and writing our letters to Santa Claus. tfflfiwxf i Pa ge T wenty-seven

of Morrison expressed his 4'Regrets . For your enlihtment that was the title of his assembly talk. Got your neckties, boys? Girls, is your make- up on straight? Three guesses what it is? You win. It,s pictures for this year's Tiger. Just look the beast over and you'll find them. Harry Arklin showed us a magnificent collection of paintings reproduced by himself. -Ruth Phillips and Ida Jane Bilooks gave re- ports of the A. Y. F. C., which they attended at a P. L. S. in the cafeteria. If you want to know what it's all about we suggest that you ask one of them. We were beginning to think that Princeton had a new landing field but it was only the Fresh- men General Science Classes flying their model planes for a contest. -Here comes the Bride! No itys not a real wedding but a pep stunt for the Ottawa game. A good stunt but it failed to bring victory. The traveling trophy traveled from Mr. DeLay,s Home Room to Mrs. Mayeur's. Don,t let that happen again Seniors. To be beaten by Fresh- ies! Shame! -Mary Trimble and Adele Gibbs represented Princeton in a Freshman's Humorous Reading contest with Geneseo and Mendota. They placed fourth and fifth. Hi-Tri! You Freshies may lie wondering fwandering tool what that is. By Home Room period today you will have found out. -The Spooks and Goblins come to sec the Home Ec. Club girls at a masquerade party. Miss Berry one of the guests, certainly was the Berries . The fact is the costumes were so good that 28- LAUTUMN the spooks and goblins were almost frightened away. -Jim Pitcher who pinch-hitted for Dixon in pep assembly, kicked the bucket, but even then Princeton didn't win. We're afraid you didn't kick hard enough, Jim. Taffy apples at the end of the first period equals what? French Club meeting adjourned until the next time. 25-Bureau Valley Civic League opens its season with the U. S. Navy Band. Students were giv- en an opportunity to hear the Band at a mat- inee performance. 26-The F. F. A. plan a pest contest. Just what do they mean? If its students, we would nom- inate Gene Moran for the Seniors, Jack Vick- rey for the Juniors, Ned Huffstodt for the Soph- omores, and Clifford Fulkerson for the Fresh- men. No doubt about it we could add some more but we'll wait and see what the F. F. A. do about it. Clifford Hayden is picked to represent Prince- ton in a corn husking contest to be held at Walnut. Dad Waite tells the Sophomore girls that they are the hope of the world. One consolation Seniors is that you were once a Sophomore. Alice Bowman and Marcella Schaefer travel to Quincy today to the State Home Economics Convention. The more conventions the more conventional you are. -Annual Home Coming spells victory for Prince- ton and the addition of the t'Jug in our trophy case. -Pigtails. rompers, and jumping ropes along with other such things were at the height of fashion at the Senior class Kid party. There were loads of fun to be remembered because B -- -H? - 5 - M - - HZ? lm -a l F5 Page Tru my-six
