November 4-The Three Rivers High School could hang out a sign Morgue Here and everyone passing would believe it. Three Rivers was de- feated Saturday for the first time this season. The silver lining was discovered though, to-wit: Three Rivers won the Regional cross country meet with a wide margin. November 5-Those people who are going about dressed up and looking extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable aren't going to be married or even engaged: they're just trying to keep the dust out of their mother-scrubbed ears until after Senior pictures are taken. November 6-Maybe the Myers-Raglin romance hasn't been progressing satisfactorily: anyway, Miss Raglin has purchased a new 'iChevy coupe. The results are awaited with interest. November 7-The lower hall of the old building was blocked by a mob around the bulletin boards on which was posted the cast of the Junior play. Everywhere, dear friends were almost coming to hair-pulling because they dis- agreed on Miss Comar's judgment. The play will probably be put on in spite of these difhculties among the thinking people. November 8-According to Roland Pease who was here for chapel today from the Lyceum Courses, some of the originalists who sing Yes we have no Bananas and like numbers, are singing a mixture of the dust of songs buried and decayed in Egypt thousands of years ago. November ll-Three Rivers won third place at State cross country meet. Bill Hicks Hnished thirteenth, as the first one of Three Rivers entrees to finish. November 12-Souvenir gatherers have started operating. About the only thing they left of the Niles hotel was the framework. November l3-The Junior Class is buying rings as is the custom. lt seems to me that it would be so much more convenient for Tom Delihant to buy a ring to Ht Barbara Cirant. etc. Then one person wouldn't have to wear his-her ring on her thumb and her-his ring on his little linger. November 14-Basketball talk is starting already. It seems there is more interest before the season than when the season's started. November 15-The time sure flies. This is the second of the six times per year when people study who haVen't studied for weeks. It is the day before the six weeks' exams. November 18-W'e ended the football season by winning the game against South Haven, 7 to 6. November 19- Les Heidamos, unwilling? sheik of the Junior Class heard people aren't allowed to pick on people wearing glasses so he bought a pair which he wears every time he passes the girls' cloak room. November 20-Leroy Hoover is running the third hour A. R. pretty well. We'd like to get Jenny Zierle in the A. R. and watch results. November 21-Mr. Pierce, head of the T. R. Red Cross drive, said girls had more nerve than boys. That's why there's so many bachelors in school this year. November 22-Those people staggering up and down the halls today aren't intoxicated, they're only Seniors who have just finished their intelligence tests. Page One Hundred Nine

October 14--Vicksburg was decidedly defeated by a score of 47 to O. The reserves scored two touchdowns against them. October l5-In U. S. History someone tried to tell about the Hslops of war. ' October 16-Four Junior girls crashed the party tonight given by the Ep- worth League for the Seniors and Teachers. Revengef Ah-sweet revengel Miss Hangsterfer didn't get our papers corrected last night because the lights went out earlier than usual. Evidently the light goes out every night. Well, there's no cause for fear as long as you have company. ' October l7-The Manual Arts sponsored the Assembly program today. We were entertained by the Kalamazoo State Theater orchestra. October 21-Three Rivers beat Coldwater last Saturday by a score of l3 to O. Coldwater is one of the two hardest teams we play this year. The other is Dowagiac. October 22- Keene, answering Mr. Myers, says that the sea gets deeper the farther down you go. Gerald Allen Beggs graduated from the ranks of Ford owners. He now drives a stately Hudson. CHe ought to have some rich uncle leave him an oil well, he'll need it.j October 23-The Senior play was certainly a success. Miss Comar and cast received the compliments of the entire school. As usual, several persons couldn't behave and steps will be taken to prevent them annoying anyone again. October 24-Bob Ruth attempted to absorb some laughing gas a short time ago but was unable to get results. Today he made some more in Chem. Lab. and while taking it, fell off the stool onto the floor. When interviewed he said he didn't feel like laughing. October 25-The Hi-Y Club gave the program today. H. K. Doane held the whip hand over Mr. Myers. As expert radio announcer, he told embarrassing stories of our new physics teacher's childhood before Mr. Myers could throttle him. October 28-The football team beat their old rivals in the old-fashioned atmosphere of Crack Three Rivers. Beat Three Rivers written on windows. cars, and even on the programs. Sturgis is a good example of medieval pro- gress. Rudeness to an opposing team has been out of date for some time. October 29-This is just another week when pupils have a good excuse for not having their lessons. To hear some of them, you'd think they attended Hallowe'en parties eighteen hours a day, sleeping the other six Qin schooll October 30-lt is interesting to watch, when the period for parties-as Hallowe'en. Christmas, etc., the variety of dues signs that appear. October 31-Our cross country team was defeated by a Class A team today. Outside of the officials and the football squad only two or three people were there. It certainly takes guts to keep going, when you're outclassecl and with apparently no backing, with the same spirit. NOVEMBER November lkAfter four days the secret is out Y I lzzy Simmons went hunting Monday: he used two boxes of shells and brought home one crow, and one chicken. Nine razzberries for lzzy.

November 25-Having held the non-stop ice-cream cone eating record for some time, Dean Tarzan Rockwell annexed another record tonight at the turkey banquet of the K. P. He ate more than two ordinary people could eat, plus twenty-two dishes of cold slaw. November 26-Eighty-five Seniors are expected to graduate this year, an increase of ten over last year. However, if, when some irate teacher was explain- ing with great eloquence that we Seniors are the dumbest descendants of apes they ever saw, someone suggested that they were all wet as proven by facts, they would probably be hunting an inconspicuous seat in the A. R. November 27-These few wits who make people laugh by sneaking into class thirty seconds late are still making them laugh but it's a kind of razz- berry laugh Cwith thorns, said thorns being that Mr. Horst has reserved seats in first and fifth hour A. R. for those who persist in being late.j November 28-Vacation Thursday and Friday. Thanksgiving? I DECEMBER December 2-Allegan is entering the Big Five Conference next year mak- ing it the Big Six. December 3-This is the time of year when people are divided into three classes, namely: children, Scotch and Jews. December 4-It has finally been proved to Miss Hangsterfer, advisor of the Junior Reflector, that Mr. Voorhees didn't attend the Army-Navy game Thanksgiving as was stated in the paper because there wasn't any Army-Navy game this year. December 5-Schweitzer: How do you ground the battery in an air- plane? Williams: fSarcasticallyj Land December 6-The speeches in Chapel this morning by boys of three different countries made many people wish that Canada, United States and Mexico were combined. I believe. A December 9-An Annual Stall' conference was held with the Pontiac En- graving Company representative. As usual the girls started in arguing about the colors of the Annual and ended up by discussing the color of dresses to be worn to a certain party which nobody was interested in. Anyway they suc- ceeded in using up my perfectly good A. R. period. December 10-The Physics Class saw for the third time in three years a picture on the mining of sulphur. December ll-The Three Rivers teams easily beat Schoolcraft here after school tonight. The team seems to be well-balanced and strong. December l2-The Juniors who have been acting so superior all week were really within their rights as The Patsy was a very successful play. December 13-The Sturgis game to be played at Sturgis tonight was post- poned because of the weather. December 16-Miss Williams had a surprise for the French Class today. She has secured correspondents in France for them. When she told them the surprise everyone just gasped-so delightful! ? Page One Hundred Ten
