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
