Union Township High School - Caravan Yearbook (Howard County, IN)

1 THE UNIONETTE For the past two years a school paper has been published once a month. Getting the news turned in to the editor has been a greater task this year than last year. The most important reason is probably the fact everyone is busy trying to do double his share of work because of the war effort. The first two on three weeks of the month are spent in writing news for the paper. Each class has a news reporter. These reporters write up the activities and news of the class. The reporters turn the news in to the edit- or of the paper who has it checked for spelling and punctuation. The news is then typed by members of the typing classf Then it is sent to Gal- veston to the printer. Within a week the Unionette is printed and sent back to the school. Due to the cooperation of the news reporters and class members the Unionette has been a success. Much of the credit for the success of the Unionette goes to mer- chants of nearby towns for their advertising.

The class representatives, for the staff were chosen by themembers of each class. It was an enthusiastic staff that took pos- session of the office in February to begin preparations for the year book. The school members were bursting with ideas and suggestions for the first, complete year book ever produced at Union High School. The name Caravan was selected by the student body from several names that were suggested by different students. Caravan was suggested by Theron Brown and it received the most votes. He was rewarded with half of the subscription price of the Year Book. Much of the credit for the success of our yearbook goes to the mer- chants of nearby towns for their cooperation in advertisements and to the subscribers of the yearbook.

P ' The first thing on the evening's program was a half hour's shadow. . 1 play by the first and second grades under the able direction of Mrs. Bu- A ' rolcer. This was ,followed by the minstrel show. Main characters were X K cl Francis Carlile, Howard Lord, Floyd McKinney, Chris Lamb, Max X Downing, and David Long. Musical numbers were given by the Glee Club. . ' it Before and after the minstrel each class furnished individual enter- , ' L , f: :M-1 a Y tainment. The third and fourth grades sold Christine: cards, the fifth and 'SD A 'A sixth made and sold popcorn and cracker-jack, while the seventh grade Q sponsored games of the ever popular ping-pong. The eighth grade lined A5 up pictures of three Axis leaders at which people threw tennis balls, the ' ex object being to knock them out. A V Freshmen drew suckers to the fish pond and the Sophomores scared qs, ,t everyone brave enough to enter their spool: house. Bingo and cake walk c7 were diversions sponsored by the lively Juniors. Prizes were given for games ' 9 won and the lucky winner of the most games was Robert Kirkpatrick, who G: received a large pillow as a prize. 4, yv Tempting odors from the cafeteria drew the crowd that way, where cg they found the industrious Seniors serving hamburgers, cider, ice cream. JD etc., on which they realized a good profit. V If the Seniors were still sleepy on the following Monday we should be polite and not ask them why, but I'lI tell you: they had a party at X A Murlea Lee's home after the evening's event, their plan being to keep the I I-7 remaining refreshments from being left over.
