A1 D , g 8 Y ' . though it does not seem to have any connection, the traffic rules we have here in school are for such a pur- pose. Because nobody stands over us with a club we are inclined not, to heed them. A So next time let's remember- go upstairs on the east side and down stairs on the west side, and let's quit walking up the wrong side back- wards, as the teachers are on to that. In observance of National F.F.A. Day, the local chapter of the F.F.A. held a special meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9. E. J. Daniel, state soil con- servationalist of Huron, was the speaker for the afternoon. im ' in E DORM DITTIES Q Strange things happed at the dor- 'mitory. Anyone who denies this 'fact should live there. For in- stance, the other night all the little freshmen boys were preparing for initiation. Just ask a number of ,girls wno were downstairs doing IK.P. Mr. Wing, came up to these 'girls and asked if they wanted to sce the boys. They did, and when they entered the boy's room, cries issued from each and every boy. Those who were yet dressed in trous- ers pulled those who had those charming skirts and sweaters out ,from under the beds Cnow, what jwere they doing there?J. I That's not all that happens at ,the dorm either. Anyone would be isurprised if they were awakened in , the middle of the night by someone's ifalling out of bed. A certain girl ifell out of bed, received help to igo downstairs, aroused both deans i l 4 and then had to have splints. The' rest of the night was spent in peace, but the next morning it was discov- ered that her wrist was broken. Someone should tell her not to have ,such dreams or else wait until she gets home where it isn't so far to the floor. For more information ask Ruby Knigge. Sometimes Mrs. Kearton wonders Iwhat all those boys are doing by the Ig1rl's door. They seem to be occu- ipied by something private. For more ' information ask the Sing-Sing , Wildcats. 1 Though this may be repeating, lstrange things do happen at the i dorm! l i.,-,..,.7.. l Ag. I class is working on the sub- ject of weeds, their importance, iden- tification and eradication. El I I , GRADE NEWS 5 I I I First Grade: Iva Bower missed four days this week.

During my observation that crazy horn kept honking. All of a sudden it dawned on me that there must be a fire drill scheduled for today. Em- 1barrassed, I rushed out into the hall, only to find out that everyone but ,the teachers were outside.-No.- There were still a few going out. By running down the steps and nearly breaking my neck, I reached the door and walked sedately down the steps with the last few.
