Much to my surprise I saw students and more students-pouring out of the school house. And there stood Fayne and Glenn holding the 1east doors open Clike the gentlemen they areb. The first thought that came to my 1mind was that school was dismissed 1for the day. But that couldn't be, for there, lounging on the lawn, were some of the football boys. 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. By the time we reached the sidewalk we had to turn around to go back inside. Well, anyhow, I got a breath of N fresh air, and I could get back to my fbeauty sleep undisturbed.-or, so 1 1 1 I hoped!!1! 1 , ected with the veteran's administra- tion previous to joining the Army. The house naval affairs committee reported indications were that an 'effective countermeasure to atomic ,bombs has been developed. About ,ninety per cent of the civilian scien- 1ists who had worked on the atomic bomb claimed it is to be regretted that the naval affairs committee has 1 seen fit to issue such highly mislead- king statements relating to control of iatomic missiles. 1 1 1 According to the civilian scienists the type of electronic device must be known beforehand, as the force for causing the bomb to explode before it reaches the ground acts on only a certain type of bomb, therefore, it would prove ineffective in most cases. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 Rhodes, Norma Schwabauer, Mar- guerite Swenson Mavis Thimsen, De- lores Voigt, Leola Weber, Bernice Winter and Velma Ytterness.

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.

Anyhow I know that you who read this could not be rightly accused of things such as making basketball shots for the waste paper basket, or otherwise cluttering the floors with articles too numerous to mention. Then, too, there are many books that seem ownerless after the four o'clock rush every day. If these were returned to the proper desk and I properly assembled, we would have much less confusion. . In any case, we must all realize that this carlessness causes someone unnecessary work. This seems com- pletely wrong when it is left to such a small minority-mainly the faculty and janitor. So lets everybody make use of waste paper baskets and drawers on our desks and really try to keep our desks in a straight aisle. GSB I I I g GRADE NEWS I I I I First Grade: The first graders donated 5151.46 for the U.S.O. drive. In science they memorized a poem about trees.

They are Carol Ann New- comb and Donnie Christensen. Second Grade: Dennis Christensen entered the class. The class now has ten boys and ten girls. The class gave 32.24 to the U.S.O. Third Grade: Jerry Miller is back in school, af- ter having been quarantened for two and a half weeks. The class donated 82.15 for the U.S.O. drive.

E Perspective-looking for a mine. i Here's something QI don't know whathz Man is but dust and woman settles him. i Archie thinks the only way to double his money is to fold it and put it in your pocket. l Winegarden: How do you spell installment. , Wolting: I spell it wrong every time. l i As one drunkard said to another, Ill be seeing you two. weeks is making colonial houses, and for art, making monochromatic color pictures. The next Y.C.L. meeting is Oct. 26. I x i I 1 I Coming Home, by Lester Cohen, is the story of how a fighting Marine battles against evil at home for the girl he loves. Love, youth, and spring combine to work magic in the hearts of Joe and Stella. This en- chantment commences this daring love the night before Joe is to go overseas. ' In the months that follow Joe goes overseas to Gaudalcanal and Bouganville, while Stella continues with her former employment and bears conquering fear, doubt and loneliness until his return. For many months no word is heard from him. Trouble arises when Stella applies about an allotment for her child from the corrupt and treacher- ous alderman, Stoney Pike. One of the most terrible tragic iepisodes ever recorded follows. Stel- la is lost in despair, it is at this mo- ment that a message comes that Joe is coming. This is the story of how Joe and Stella, backed by other decent, right- minded people, fight against power- ful forces aligned against them. These gallant Americans are fighting Americans, fighting firm in their American faith. A glorious and in- timate romance is combined with a thrilling, shocking, modern aroma. While walking through the high school during the Teachers Insti- tute, Mr. Wing was surrounded by feminine alumni. They inquired about the dormitory and asked if they could eat there. Many of them came to supper that night. OCTOBER DAYS fp 3 A linoleum cut by Jack Anton I -,lf o . is 15- Xi
