Freshman reception provided us with our first venture of the year. D-Day was the nineteenth of October, and the festivities were topped off with a rous- ing reception in the gym. Followed by a dance, it proved a happy time for us all. Our dramatic attempt for the year was the production of the following one- act plays: Ghost Farm, an unusual mystery directed by Mr. Griffith, our class advisorg Hurricane Hill, and Prom Date . Our class has many outstanding ath- letes. On the state champion baseball team of 1951, Paul LeBlanc, Phil Mar- tin, Roland Lauzier, and Robert Ben- nett were our representatives. Our football lettermen were Leroy Lombard, Roland Lauzier, and Phil Martin. Norm Block managed the team. Soph- omores also offered versatile LeBlanc, Martin, and Zeke Mason to our bas- ketball team.

JOKES The brakes screeched in front of the house, but Harry Robbins had not stopped in time. His head hanging low, he approached the door and knocked. I ran over your cat, he said to Mrs. Johnson. Seeing her shocked look he added quickly: But I want to replace him. The woman nodded. Get busy then, she said, there's a mouse in my pantry. Mrs. Chandler is fond of having her fortune told. The other day she was informed: It is terrible. You will be a widow soon. Your husband is going to die a violent death. Mrs. Chandler asked innocently: And will I be acquitted? Be a wealthy pedestrian: sell us your car. -Ripley and Fletcher. Cliff Crooker lived way back on Streak- ed Mountain, where no one had ever seen a motorcycle. So one day when a man came roaring down the bumpy trail on a puffing motorcycle, Cliff, excited, grabbed his gun and shot at it. Did you kill the varmint, Cliff? hol- lered Beth. No, it's still growling back thar in the bushes, but I sure made it let go of that man. Mrs. Mary Wheeler was visiting an ex- hibition of domestic appliances and paused to gaze through the glass panel of a laundry which was being swirled and splashed. Well, said she, if that's television, they can have it. The weaker sex is the stronger sex because of the weakness of the strong- er sex for the weaker sex. Mr. Cunningham: When Union troops captured a Virginia town during the Civil War, they discovered a stockpile of unused grey uniforms. The Yankee commander thought he could make use of this clothing and instructed the local dyer to change the uniforms to blue. The man did, but just as he was com- pleting his task, the Confederates swept in and retook the town. One of the first things the Southern commander did was to order the poor dyer to fade the blue out of those uniforms and re- turn them to their original gray. Faced with this mountainous task for the second time, the dyer closed his shop and joined the army. This is knoum as the case of the old dyer who didn't fade, but just soldiered away. Mr. Huff: Everything in our home is run by switches except the children. Senior Amateur Show All Loco Talent At a recent teacher's meeting the dis- cussion chanced to be concerned with the frustrated feelings and suppressed desires of the group. Mr. Small: I must confess I occasion- ally have a terrible urge to see if the drivers' training car can do ninety. Mr. Chandler: I sometimes wish I could make some T. N. T. and conceal it under Murch's chair.
