Text from Pages 1 - 114 of the 1941 volume:

Prepared by SENIOR CLASS OF ROLLING PRAIRIE HIGH SCHOOL ROLLING PRAIRIE, INDIANA To KENDALL HEWS Kankakee Township Trustee� whose support has enabled us to publish this book, the Class of 41 Dedicates the first Volume of tho Rollinc Log FOREWORD In beginning the fifth decade of this cen- tury of progress., the senior class takes an- other grea ; stap in the development c� £‘ a bet- ter Rolling FrairJe High School-, Thau step is the leaving in permanent form a record of the activities of th z c-h ol year, 1940-41 Since a record is often called a log, and since Rolling Prairie is a timberlJne town, an appropriate name for our yearbook seemed to be the Rolling Log'1. Having provided a name for the book, we set out to develop a theme. Without any pre- vious experience or knowledge of yearbooks, we are, indeed, pioneering in the production of this annual. Accordingly, we adopted a ‘pio- neer theme for our first edition. It need not be mentioned that the cost of producing this publication greatly exceeded the price at which the book sold. A greet part of this deficit was made up by entertainments throughout the school year. We would like to thanl: everyone v7ho played even the smallest part in the production of this yearbook.

With Mr. Kays at the brake and Miss Hoisinger with the whip, the schooner went traveling over the hills. The wagon was filled with the following boys and girls eager for adventure; Billie Abraham, Bob Adison, Joe Bennitt, Rita 3olakowski, Arthur Brewer, Ruth Brown, Lillie But- ler, Eleanore Clark, Clifford Davis, Margaret DeFoy, Phyllis Erickson, Harlan Felty, Joe Flitter, Paul Godsey, June Harrington, Floyd Harsh, Noma Ha vers took, Janice Hoffman, Virginia Hope, Barron Houston, Dean Hunt, Ewell Hunt, Geraldine Irtatt, Ted Koziol, Frances Meyers, June Mitch, Clarence Morrison, Carl McDonald, Harveline Mc- Intyre, Phyllis Ncblung, Paul Nelson, Robert Nickerson, Lorraine Povolock, Margaret Proud, Dob Riley, Ethel Rogers, Ruth Schrieber, Dob Scarocder, Frances Shoemaker, Irene Stakielon, Charier. Strauch, Maurice Tompkins, Ray- mond Williams, Duane Williamson, Irvin Y ojcicchowski, Dorothy Zabel, Glon Zellers, and Lloyd Zook. On the evening of October 12 we camped at a pretty little lake known as Red Lake where the class roasted hot dogs Indian fashion. At this, our first social af- fair, the boys were much more bashful than they aro now. The schooner rolled along very merrily until the morning of Octoter 22 when wo were attacked by a band of Indians who called themselves Seniors. They put on a v nr dance that left us poor freshmen greatly subdued. After our Initiation a long period of peace and quiet hoverod over our camp until January 22, when we enjoyed a sledding party on ono of the hills north of Rolling. In chocking over the list for the school yoar in the fall of 1930 we found several changes made. Those who were no longer with us were Bob Adison, Rita Bola- kowski, Clilford Davis, June Harrington, June Kitch, Clarence Morrison, Marveline McIntyre, Margaret Proud, Ethel Rogers, Ruth Schrieber, Raymond Y illioma, Dorothy Zabol, end Lloyd Zook. Others who entered were: Lester Buss, Marvin Kill, Barbara Reece, and Charles Strauch. Mr. Hays wan still at the brako and Kiss IIc.3kcll was at the v hlp. Tills year on April Fool's Dcy we made a pil- grimage� to tho Field's Musoun and the Aquarium. In September, 1939, wo again entered our prairie schooner. Our Journey was half way completed, and now that we were called juniors we felt a bit older, and left our Indian war dancing for the underclassmen. As wo entered the schooner in the fall of 39, we found that Eleanorc Clark, Virginia Hope, Ewell Hunt, Ooral- dine Istatt, Carl McDonald, Irene Stakielon, and Maurice Tompkins were no longer with us. There were throo now passengors on our schooner. They wore Mary Buell, Ray McCarty, and Curtis Smith. This yoar there was much to bo done. Our chief pro- blem was to rai30 monoy to ontertain the senior class. Mr. Tower had taken over the brake and Mi3s Haskell was still at the whip. Wo took time off from our thoughts to hold a wiener roast at Hudson Lake on Septombor 22 Later in the ovoning we returned to tho school house and playod games and danced. Early in October tho groat actors and actresses of tho class were scloctcd and work was begun on tho play, Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost. This was presented before the pooplc who lived on tho prairies on Friday, November 10. Sinco tho boys and girls of tho surrounding prairies were very fond of rol- lcr skating, tho juniors sponsored two skating partios, ono October 13 and the other March 15. The boys and girls spent their spare time in the spring preparing for that great event, the junior-senior reception. They also planned a dance on April 11 to get tho boys in practico for tho event. When we awoke Thursday morning. May 2, wo found a very gray day awaiting us with cold, rain, and snow. Despito tho woathor, the prom v as a groat suc- cess. It was hold at the Peacock Fountain Inn. In September, 1940, wo started on our last trip to Commencement. Mr. Tower v;as still at the brake and Mr. Post was at the whip. Warron Houston said good-bye and loft our schooner as Rosamond Benjamin joined us for the last lap of our Journey. On the early part of our jour- ney tho froshnon askod to join our company to carry on our past duties, so wo initiated thorn and gave a mixer party in thoir honor. After tho boys on our schooner played basketball with other teams from near by prairies wo gave dances to raise money for our annual. In early March a play was selected and the cast chosen. This play, Professor, How Could You, was presented on April 4 bofore a large audience seated around our campfire. We are now about ready to close the log of our lives on tho prairie 3chooncr. As wo leave our campfire, wo carry with u3 many fond memories of the past four yoars spent in our high school. Although the going has not al- ways been easy, wo feel that our experiences on the perl lous road to Commencement have fitted us for the more hazardous path of life. Wo shall meet our now dangers bravoly and unafraid. ACTIVITIES Rosamond Ida Benjamin New Carlisle H. S. 1, 2, 3 Junior Play, 3 Senior Play, 4 Tattler Staff, 1 Baton Twirlers, 2 G. A.

CLASS PROPHECY One spring day in 1952, our mailman, Curtis Smith, brought a letter to me from Mrs. Don Stovens, the former Frances Shoemaker, asking ne to cone to Chicago to visit her for a few days. Since I would need some new clothes for this trip, I decided to go to the DePoy Meyer Shoppe in South Bend. I recognized the proprietors as Margaret DePoy and Frances Meyers. After purchasing an ensemble I hur- ried across the street to buy a pair of shoes; to my amazement Floyd Harsh was the 3hoo salesman.I got back to my car to find a ticket for over-parking given to me by none other than Serjeant Harlan Felty. I immediately went to Attorney Vincont A. Brewer's office in the Na- tional Discount Building; he escorted me down to the po- lice station where Judge Robert Riley fined me ten dol- lars. Reluctantly I paid ny fine and returned home to start my packing. The next morning, as Bob Nickerson was taking ne to the bus depot, v e stopped at Joe Bcnnitt's dairy farm to got a quart of mill: for Junior. As we were on our way to the bus station our car broke down Going to the nearest phone to call Olan Sollers'3 Day and Night Sorv- icc Garago, we wore picked up by a big limousine. We rec- ognized the chauffeur as Paul Nelson driving for Ted Koziol, now a famous artist. The neerest phone ? as at the McCarty Grocery Store in Rolling. Mrs. McCarty, the former Ruth Brov n, and her two children greeted us at the door. After getting the car fixed we arrivou at the bus station Just as the Greyhound driven by Lester 3uss was pulling out of tho station. At Gary wo stopped for dinner. I ate at the Hostess Restaurant where Rosamond Benjamin was working as wait- ress. As I was oating, someone came in and sat beside mo. When I looked up, I discovered it was Joe Flitter who had been working across the ctroet at the Gary Steel Mill. While we were talking together about tho good old days in R. P. H. S., a newsboy came through the restau- rant. Glancing at the headlines of tho paper I bought, I saw that Duane Williamson was elected governor of Ohio. On the society pago I saw where Mrs. Cy Singer, the for- mer Lillie Butler, was having a dinner party in honor of her third wedding annivorsary. Turning to the sports page I noticed that Coach Paul Oodsey's Central Bears of South Bend had won tho Indiana State Cliamp ion ship. Prances Shoemaker and her son, Donnie Junior, met me at the La Lalle Street Station and tool: me to their apartment whore Charles Strauch was the doorman. Since I wa3 dead tired, we went to bed early that night. The next morning I awoke with a terrific toothache. Much as I hated to, I went to the dentist Immediately, To my surprise Ltary Buell was the office girl of Dr, Marvin Kill. He fixed my tooth and gave me a prescrip- tion that I had filled from Druggist Robert Schroeder, That afternoon Prances and I went to the Palace Theater owned by Irvin Wojciechowski. We bought our tickoto from Janice Hoffnan. Love Went to College was playing, starring Phyllis Erickson and Clark Gable. Aft- er the Show which we enjoyed very much, we v ent home to listen to the radio. We happened to hear someone read children’s stories. When she signed off, we found out it was Phyllis Wcblung. The following evening we were invited to a ball at the Trianon in honor of the mayor of Chicago. Every- thing was strictly formal. When we arrived Billie Abra- ham and hls orchestra were playing the Grand March. Later in the evening Lorraine Povolock arrived, escorted by a 3tatc trooper. She told us she wa3 work!ng as sec- retary at the Indiana Ltate Barricks at Chesterton. Just at the stroke of twelve the meyor v:as presented v ith a loud fanfare of music. I was bewildored as Dean Hunt stepped forth 83 the mayor of Chicago, he danced until early in the morning when, the ball broke up. The next day I returned home after a very enjoyable visit. By Barbara Reese JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The junior class started on its Journey in Septem- ber, 1333, with 43 loyal members ready tc follov: in the steps of the other poineers into four years of hard work Graduation in 1942 glccxied dimly in the distance as the goal. Walter Buss was given the responsibility of being the leader. Rosemary Barnes was elected to holp him. Bill Crawford kept the diary for this trying year. Betty Miller had charge of the finances. During this tine wo lost Grace Sampson, Ethel and Edith Short, to La Porte; Marilyn Wedcw to Springfield Township; William Prentiss to Weatville; Roy Otter, Marvin Bunton, Carl Conjalka, Edna Raffel, and Pete Youngblood decided they were unable to continue on the long hard journey with us. In November Lloyd Zook decided to undertake the trip with us. The second year the 39 remaining members chose Ray- mond Butler to lead then with Sally Jones his chief helper. Again a diary was kept, this year by Iris Baker. Victor Pagel wao the treasurer of the group. Virginia, Kostka had joined us but soon left. George Faulstitch entered at the beginning of the year and Margaret Me Carty joined up with us in January. We lost Bob Vo3burg Everett Williams, Eddie Chlupacek, and Henry Saidgekow- aki. With one half of our journey completed we rolled on to the present tine, our junior year, with Rosemary Barnes our director this year. Hors was such a responsi- ble job that Victor Pagel just had to help. Dorothy Mc- Guire kept notes on the meetings. Raymond Butler was chosen as guardian of our money. At the boginning of the year, Don DePoy, Merle Hendricks, Thelma Haverstock, Dortha Os ter, and Pauline V arstler didn't return . During the year Lloyd Zook and George Faulstitch dropped from the group. In our travel we got as far v est as Chicago to visit Shead's Aquarium and Fields Museum. Nine pu pile from our class entered the oratorical contest. Every Monday morning we missed seven of our friends in practicing with the school band. At the end of the year wo usod all our hard earned monoy to entertain those who wore completing their journey this year at a festival, held at the Spaulding Hotel in Michigan City on May 14. With three-fourths of our way behind us, hopefully we anticipate the final hop which v ill lead us to gradu- ation.

There were 45 in cur group. V e elected Lester Underwood as the leader. Dean Wallace as assistant leader, Robert Ebel to keep the company's money and Mary Flitter to keep the company's record. October 10, Mary Ott came from La Porte to join our group. Jaiaos Mayo decided on November 15, that the trip was to much for him and left us. On January 15, James Hicks joined us from Michigan City. In February, Mary Johnson left our group to join a party in Michigan, and several days later Glen Foster also left our group. We completed the first lap of our journey on May 15, 1940, with 44 weary members who were all very glad that thl3 first and hardest lap was completed. We de- cided to wait until September to continue our journey, September 9, 1940 with renewed courage and strength we resumed our travels. There were still 44 members in the group but instead of the 44 v e had in the spring we found four new faces in our midst. The new faces were: Georgians Hager, Elenore Werner, Calvin Wolfe, all from La Porte, and Lois Proud from Kingsbury. John Sureouec had decided to go to Kingsbury, Loretta Ahern had gone to Michigan City, Helen Buss to La Porte, ana Mery Ott had decided to discontinue her traveling. We elected new officers: Richard Tarnow was leader: Lester Underwood, assistant leader; Dean Wallace, secre- tary, and Robert Ebel, treasurer. Although many of last year's dangers no longer held any fear fer ua, now we met the pitfalls of Latin and geometry. The road seemed a little smoother, and members of our party had more freedom in choosing the course they wished «o pursue. Our group showed great musical and dramatic talent, 28 girls and 9 beya sann in the glee clubs, ten were playing instruments in the band and orchestra, five en- tered the oratorical contest.

Not trusting our destiny to the hands of boister- ous, irresponsible boys, we elected Joan Buss as chief guide, June Reese as Joan’s helper, Evelyn Pagel in charge of finances, and Dorothy Schroeder in charge of records. Before we had progressed very far, several other people decided to Join us, thus increasing our number to 41. Our new traveling companions were Bernice Kessler from Kingsbury, Dorothy Duvall from Union Town- ship, end Jerry Houser from Huntington. Ho one has pre- ferred another group of greeni s to ours, so we have only t)iree new faces and all the rest of the optimistic and pleasant grins of our first 39 companions. On October 11, 1940, the generous-hearted seniors gave a dance and program celled the Mixer Dance , as our initiation, in our honor. After this ceremony we felt we were really full-fledged travelers. Several weeks later our partly organized group gave a dance for the other three groups. This dance, which was the first that wo sponsored, was a great success. We are deeply touched with the notes of Bernice Kessler's violin, John Bunting's clarinet and saxophone, and Jimmie Fritzen's flute. They serve a great pleasure on our long journey and help to while away tho long ted- ious days. Sixteen girls and seven boys blend their voicos in melodious harmony, as members of the clubs known cs our glee clubs. Three bold, yet nervous, members who participated in the Oratorical Contest were Joan ftiss, Carolina Kircher, and Eileen Strauch, who gave dramatic readings. The gii'ls who went out for track were Virginia Burnette, Della Ott, Delores Butler, and Paulino Hegel. Our run- ners make a very good team and wo may soon use them as scouts.

That day the Bulldogs started out for Gary minus the services of the stalwart guard, Lester Buss, v;ho was stricken with laryngitis. Hie three car caravan, led by Coach I coni, started to La Porte to see their sick team- mate Lester. Ihe fifteen fearful Bulldogs left La Porte at 11:20, not one ever mentioning the fear he had in his heart. The boys seemed to foresee the Waterloo which the hard fighting, never-giving-up Bulldogs met at 3:45 P. M. Hundreds of Ians entered tho gigantic arona at Gary each one having a faint hopo, Maybe we will be State Champs . It csened Rolling might have a chance, for the score at the end of the first quarter was 5 - 3 in favor of tho Bombers. At the end of the half the score was 13 - 6 in favor of the Bombers. It looked as though wo were going to have a repetition of tho sectional because as In that game, the Bulldogs were trailing aevon points Whon the third quarter ended, the Bulldogs were trailing 19 - 12. As the game wont into tho last quarter, cv ,ry fan still had hopes. The hundreds of fans backing tho Bulldogs were hoping and praying that our toan would get hot • From first graders and seniors to teachers and trustuo, all faces v eru showing more hope as the minutes ticked av;ay, and the flying-midget Cal Wolfe banged In throe trip-hammer, one-handed shots to drive U3 v I thin throe points of tho Bombers. However, another Bombor backet cinched the game for them, and tho final score was Rensselaer 29, Rolling prairie 24. Hiousanco of fans at Gary 3an the Rolling Bulldogs go down in defeat, but in their minds they knew that the team of lighting, snarling Bulldogs had as much fight as any toan they v ould ver see play. Wo lost a hard game- losing by tho scoreboard but not in spirit. Our team made our one dream of winning the sectional come true, but we still have a bigger dream - we are going to v in the State someday I 1 .1' PR IP LAI au '' Z nTl-, •� «� , ' S' £ M ’«“•' « , o .y j °� i5 N £%gj | £?

JUNIOR PLAY The Junior class play, His Ozark Cousin, was given November 8, 1940, at G ofclock before a large audience in the high school auditorium. The play took place in the living room of the Rankin home which was situated in the Ozarks of Northern Arkansas. The first act took place in the morning of a summer day; the second act was mid-afternoon; and the third act was G:30, the same evening. The cast of characters in the order of their appearance was Ned Richman, Martin Stark; Jack Rankin, George Faulstich; Glenda Rankin, Leatrice Lewallen; Sue Rankin, Carroll Dawson; Uncle Zeb Tyler”, Raymond But- ler; Gary Stark, Victor Brewer; Fay Kirby, Dorothy Mc- Guire; Guy Haines, Lloyd Zook; Betsy Haines, Beverly Jones; Frances Ilaines, Betty Miller; Randall Haines, Calvin Wolfe; Mrs. John Rankin, Rosemary Barnes; Cassie May Slurp, Donna Keller; Jlnnie, Lydia Huge; Minnie, Anna Lou Reese; and Winnie, Lois Carpenter. The Haines family were Eastern relatives of the Ran- kin family who lived in the Ozarks. The Rankins, how- ever, were not typical hillbillies. They had a pleasant home and comfortable furnishings. The father and mother of the Rankin family were on a visit when a letter arriv- ed saying that the Haines family was traveling West and would pass through and stop for an old family Bible. The Rankin children decided to make their Eastern, socially- mindod relativos think they roally were Ozark mountain- eers by changing the houso furnishings and their costumes to represent hillbillies. They even planned a genuine Ozark wedding. The naines children discovered the ruse by some of the many mistakes their cousins made when they changed their names and dialect, but they decided to continue with the wedding in front of Mr. and Mrs. Haines. During the wedding ceremony an old lady appear- ed, saying she objected to tho wedding. By her shoes, one of tho Rankin girls discovered it was her mother who ha3 drossed up to holp carry out the wodding. The botwoen acts entertainment was a cornet duct by Victor Pagel and Lester Underwood, and folk dances by Floronco Smith, Botty JJcCarty, Pauline Godsoy, Botty Mc- Clure, Bonnio Wolfe, Glonna Hutton, Volva Rocsc, Mary Jane V arstlcr, accompanied by Phyllis Riley. SENIOR PLAY The senior play, Professor, How Could You I was presented on April 4, 1941, at the high school auditor- ium. The cast was as follows: Keats Perry, Ray McCarty; Vicky Randolph, Rosamond Benjamin; Grandpa Perry, Arthur Brewer; Grandma Perry, Mary Buell; John Appleby, Billy Abraham; Priscilla Morley, Phyllis Erickson;Tootsio Bean, Janice Hoffman; Butcher Boy Bean, Paul Godsey; Valerie Whitman, Ruth Brown; Boggins, Duane Williamson; three young children, Lillie Butler, Margaret DePoy, and Glenn Zeller3. Miss Brower was the director. Vicky wa3 the class nuisance, as far as the woman- hating young Professor Perry was concerned. He ordered her to apologize for her impertinence or else drop his course, so Vicky showed up at the Perry home. There she overheard a bit of gossip: Professor Perry had been offered the position of Dean...if he could get a wife. Vicky saw a chance to get even and proposed a girl friend, Valerie, whose Southern accent and flattering ways always fascinated the men. Professor Perry's dot- ing grandmother and the butler decided that Miss Tootsie Bean was just the girl for the Professor..she won. all the cooking prices. The Professor's helpful friend had a cute little secretary who couldn't spell but would make any man a wonderful wife, so little Priscilla was enter- ed ii« the race. Grandpa didn't tell who his candidate was (unknown to Grandma, each bet $10.00 on his candi- date, winner to take the pool!) Grandma invited all the prospects to dinner, and there was plenty of fun as the three girls flattered and wheedled the harassed Pro- fessor. By a trick, Grandpa made each girl believe the Professor had written her a proposal. They all accepted and the Professor found himself claimed by three fian- cees. Grandpa phoned each girl and suggested an elopo- ment, and the three arrived all sot to elope. There was plenty of excitement when the three angry girls faced each other. To rescue the Professor, his friend dressed up a3 a woman, bribed throe neighbor children, and came in with them as the Professor's long-abandoned wife and children! The family left, the three prospects consoled themsolvos clsewhero, and in a whirlwind romantic finish the Professor found a wifo after all in the littl6 spit- fire, Vicky. Between acts Margaret and Ruth DePoy played a saxo- phone duet accorapaniod by Mrs. Ludtkc. A sextet composed of Lydic Huge, Anna Lou Rooso, Ruth DoPoy, Margaret De Poy, Dorothy Me Quire, and Caroll Dawson sang two selec- tions.

In the group of twelve contestants our girls placed fourth and fifth respect- ively. WORK OF THE STAFF As the seniors of Rolling Prairie High School began the last lap of their Journey, they also began a year of numerous activities. One of the firsc prodiens to con- front them was that of senior pictures. A representative was sent by an Illinois photo- graphy company to display their picturis and to Interest the senior class in having its pictures taken by them. This company s agent brought with him sample annuals of other schools, and he suggested that the seniors of this school publish such a book as a memoir. The idea of producing a yearbook appealed strongly to the seniors. Several classmen volunteered to assist in the work. Mr. Post, senior sponsor, and Miss Yast, English teacher, agreed to sponsor this project. From the list of volunteers they selected a staff. Being inexperienced, the staff was slow getting its work under way. An Interested alumna, Janet Caler, sug- gested the name The Rolling Log. The staff set a quota of 100 copies. Then, in Movember, began a sales drive lasting a week. Throughout the year dances and othar activities were sponsored to finance the Rolling Log. All stencils and paper were donated by Mr. Hews, to whom we are, indeed, greatly indebted. Production really got under way in February and March. Various students spent several noons taking the pictures you find in our prize snapshot collection. Senior and group pictures were taken by the LaPorte Photo Finishing Company; underclassmen pictures by a Philadelphia photographer. The covers were purchased from Becktold Company of St. Louis, Missouri. The lith- ograph work was dono by the Stauffor Photo Co., of South Bend, Indiana; binding by the Plimpton Press in LaPorte, Indiana. The work cf cutting stencils, typing, mimeo- graphing, etc., was done by various commercial students.

On the north end of the former library wore some of tho school supplies 3uch as the ditto and minoographing nachinos. Finding that tho library was gone, wc began to hunt for a stack of books. Romenbering that v o should go into the assembly to get a pool: at the big room, we stepped In the door, only to find that the room was only half as largo as it usod to be V e also noticed that the walls had all boon freshly painted and the woodwork had been varnished. Proceeding on down the hall we found that the add- itional door led into the other part of the assembly, including the stage. In hero, we found the books that we were looking for; but they were not in great stacks as we had expected Instead, shelves had boon built along the cast, north, and west walls of the room. Tho shelvos on the 3tngo had all of the rcforonco books. On top of the rest of tho shelves wore the many trophies that tho school had won. Soon after school started, tho boys' shop classos made four very nice study tables. Thoy arc large onough to seat eight students at a table to study. This new library Is ono of tho boat improve- ments In both beauty and room space that has boon made sinco the addition in 1936. Wc next wont back downstairs to go to our home oco- nomics class. As we stopped insido, wc saw that this room had also boon remodeled. On the south side had boon put up a large bulletin board and a blackboard. The tables wore turned around and wore set In two rows, north and south, making more space in tho room. Just insido the door, we found a bookcaso containing many helpful books on home economics. A large looking glass adorned tho south wall. The room was nedo homc-like by the addition of dainty dimity curtains and kitchen table and chairs set. Returning to school from our Christmas vacation, we found that the problem of cold halls on wintry days had beon solved Two cloctric fan heaters had been installed while wo were vacationing One is over the door way con- necting tho new and old buildings, and tho other is ovor the stairway leading down to the primary rooms. About the first of April wo walked down to the agri- culture room only to see that the partitions were torn down and the concrete floors had beon torn up. We began to believe the boys had gone beyond their bounds with mischief and were tearing tho school to pieces when the agriculture teacher stopped up and began to oxplain. Ho said they were making tho old gym into a farm 3hop room. A romp was being built on tho outside of tho north wall by which the boys could take thoir machinery down to work on it. Tho partition was taken out, thus adding much more spaco. A ramp was also built connecting tho hall and the old gyroi Steps led across this ramp into tho agriculture room. These improvements add much to the convenience and beauty of the building and aro ones that will be used in years yet to como.

October 25, 1940 Dear Diary: Our wonderful trip ended today at 12:15 p.m. It's good to be back home, but I'm determined to return some day. The trip is over and among the things I won't for- get are the funny things we did. The first night on the train one of the R. P. girls ran around in her stocking feet, and the next morning she couldn't get her shoes on. Frances got angry at a clerk for short-changing her, and she suddenly lost the southern accent she was using and said, Do you think I'm a liar? Marvin ordered his supper the first night at the hotel and among the things v ere consomme and milk. The v aiter brought the consomme which looked like weak cof- fee, and Marvin very quickly said to the waiter, I or- dered nilk, not coffee. The second night there we were all out walking and were many many blocks from the hotel; although it was a- bout midnight, we were so tired to took the liberty of resting on a curb on Constitution Avonue. Barbara called downstairs at the hotel to see If it was raining at Mt. Vernon and if it was cool enough to wear a v inter coat. This was early in the morning so we don't think she was awake yet. Margaret had a telephone call; in fact, several. Y hen she received one of the calls the party on the other end informed her that she v as speaking to a boy from the La Porte group.Since it seemed to her the voice was that of a girl, she spent part of the evening trying to convince her caller that he must be a girl. Paul was going to take a fork from the hotel. He put it in hi3 pocket, but as he left the dining room it dropped out. The waiter looked at him with a suspicious leer, and Paul turned red as he picked up the fork and put it on the table. Upon retiring one night the boys decided to put their beds togethor. Since the telephone was in the way, Harlan conceived the idea of putting it under the bed. Y hen he did, the receiver cane off. The bell boy came up and asked the boy who was crooning to the operator to please stop disturbing her.

Galena Damsels Cousins Up and coming 8th grade's sweetheart Nice Dreaming Squatter's Rights Pretty- Laughing Maidons Trio THE IDEAL STUDENT The ideal student gets to school around nine o'clock. He is one who hasn't had a book of his ora all through high school and when he borrows someone's, it takes a week to get it back. His locker has everything in it from bolts and nuts to orange peelings. He hates to study and usually doesn't until the toacher 3tarts to jump on him. His written work is three or four days late and only half there when he does hand it in. School is the least of his worries, and ho gets there about two or three days a week. When a dance or some event Is going on at night at the school, he climbs in the home eco- nomics window or has someone let him In the back door instead of paying to get in. After he Is through with school he blames all his ignorance on the toacher. Jane T.: Can you type? Eloiso B.: Yos. I use tho Columbus’ system. Jane T.: What's that?

Fireman, Save My Cliildi One night after school, three mischievous boys de- cided they v oro going to have some fun. In the physics room they found a fire extinguisher, which they decided to test. After taking it off the wall, they turned it upside down. The chemicals began to shoot out in a stream about ten feet longt From the looks of the room and themselvos, you would have thought the whole school was on fire. Richard Ebel tried to stop the stream by turning the extinguisher right side up, but, as you know, a fire extinguisher never stops until the chemicals are all out of it. After they soaked tho whole room and each other, Leslie Flagg and Bud Newton got the bright idea of tying a knot in the hose. Luckily the chemicals wore almost gone and this stopped the flow. Otherwise it would have exploded. Customer: I wont some con- soluted rye. Druggist: You moan concen- trated rye. Customer: It does nutmeg any difference. That's what I camphor. What does it sulphur?

Now I put the alarm clock beside tho par- rot's cage; and when the a- larm goes off, what the par- rot oay3 is enough to get the whole block up I Both beautiful and dumb must my truo love bo, beautiful so I'll love her and dumb so she'll love me. Isn't it strange how the juniors arc trying to grow up 0 year oarly. They need a little more experience in writing up wills and thoy better look up a gypsy fortune tollor for their prophecy. They have such a hard time trying to keep secrets from their olders, tho soniors. Since class night comes the night after tho prom the old saying still Holds truo, Ho who laughs la3t, laughs best.
