DORM DITTIES By Arlene Kraft I haven't time to count noses, but I think everyone has survived Christ- mas vacation and is back to dorm liie. I have gathered evidence to this effect by the testimony of cer- tain fellow students. Here are some of them: Richard Haddort: I worked a lit- tle, but not too much. Darlene Peterson: I spent some time visiting in Mitchell. Willard Snyder: I did a little of everything-hunting, working and staying at home. Betty Krog: I spent my time slav- ing away over a dishpanf' Mrs. Kearton: 'tMary and Jose- phine were home so I spent my time visiting. Mr. Wing: Christmas day found me in Sioux Falls with my sister. The rest of vacation. I visited my brothers in Minneapolis. I take it everyone's in a good mood. I noticed a whole string of volunteers doing K.P. I wonder if that show was really good. I have been requested to add a lit- tle after thought. I have been told 'that two senior boys were in a lit- tle accident. The worst part of it was they had their father's cars. iTl1ey just scraped bumpers a little for did they?D For further inquries ,speak to Scooper and Tony. Addi- ytional information: No one's tem- per was aroused. We have night-hawks in the girls dormitory. Every night at twelve they keep the rest of us awake. Ev- ery morning at seven-thirty theylre lstill asleep. A word to the wise is sufficient. ..--3-9-L--- FACULTY TEA HELD IN HOME EC.

I 1- A ' '1 CHRISTMAS m la I Throughout the years many dif-I ferent Christmases have presented various different views and customs. But as a whole it is easy to see that this, the greatest of memorials, is still remaining, with its true tradi- tion and spirit. We all enjoy the merry event and carry its festivities forward by giv- ing gifts as a token of remembrance for the original day. It seems that everyone, including those who oc- cupy foreign lands far and near, have some reason to continue this belief. Since this is the first Christmas in four years that we have not been engaged in some terrible war, we should be able to make this Christ- mas a more successful affair and by this recreate its whole purpose.

Jenny's time is pretty well filledz up with English IV, chemistry, gov- ernment, typing and bookkeeping. Bookkeeping ranks high. Besides keeping busy studying for her subject, Genevieve finds go- ing to shows a good pastime. Dancing and hiking are A-1 on leer sports calendar as is The Lone Rangerl' A-1 in radio programs. 'tAt Mail Call Today, is O.K. in the line of popular music, but Pist- ol Packin' Mama is disliked by this senior. Those movies which are humorous and are in technicolor appeal to Jenny very much. She especially likes red and blue. After graduation, Jenny plans to go to summer school and take up teaching as a career. Glen Burchfield. Of medium heighth and red hair- ed, Glen Burchfield is one of our mighty seniors. Impertinent children Cwhatever that is? happens to be Glen's pet peeve, while his ideal dish is a blonde with blue eyes and 5 ft. l13fZ1 in. in heighth. Often known as Burch he states that Judy Canova is his fav- orite radio program and postoffice is his favorite sport. Sheppard is his favorite personal- ity. In the line of actors, the blonde one of the Andrew Sisters and the first bass fiddle played in the New York Philharmonic orchestra top the list. Besides being in Glee club, chorus, sports, Thespian and staff, Burch is busy with English IV' economics, Typing and chemistry. Glen's one ambition is to be an antipedestrianisticanaryainligist.

I shouldn't ask that after the enthusiasm you showed at the game Friday evening. From the looks of things we have a good chance at the tournament this year. Boys I surely hope the farmers have plenty of hay this year, if they don't have now. Cause I know a few boys from Springs hi that burned some hay to keep warm while jackrabbit hunting Sunday. And that ainit corn! Oopls There I go trying to start an argument again. A man who has three wives is not only a bigamist, but he's crazy. It seems Pat and Mike CPat Pin- ard and Mike Magee, of course? were flashlight beam. Mike: Maybe Pm in here, but II'm not that crazy, because when I ,get half way up you'd turn the flash- light off. -i1-.-:a- GRADE NEWS 'First Grade: A party will be held Thursday for the mothers and Wednesday for the 'second grade.

HELP GIVEN The used clothing drive is under the auspices of the Victory Clothing collection. The clothes that are col- lected will be sent to the war-torn countries in Europe and Asia. Last year many of the people who donated clothes to the drive put a letter in the clothing. This year they are asking people to do this be- cause it promotes good will. So, if we have any spare clothes let us help create better good will. 1 I oua MIGHTY saruons 'I 1 By Zilpha shoff 1 Richard Bradley Tall, dark Richard Bradley, one of our this year's senior boys, says he enjoys music, especially a slow smooth swing thats easy to dance to. Concerto No. 5, done by Spike Jones and his Music Butchers' is O.K. Proof was shown that Richard isnlt hard to please when asked who his favorite actors were. Just any gal will do. Most often known as Pat , his pet peeve is to hear someone chew gum like an old cow. F Ih sports there are many difierent varieties he likes, but he believes that he enjoyes basketball, postof- fice, basketball and postoffice best. Pat likes any kind of food which coach says he can't have. And when asked the kinds of girls he prefers he said Red heads, brunettes, like Burch, I love 'em all.

Mary had a little lamb It stayed home from school, she thought, But when she got there, She found the lamb was the one that taught. CI'll take the blame for that one.D Here's a little poem I heard 'tZip Shoff saying: 'They kissed in the park, On a moonlit night, She was a marble statue, And he was a little tight. Boy, that was a whopper of a game Friday night, for a while I thouiit that Alpena was going to get cky and win again. I only beard one complaint from Alpena, and that was that our gym is too small, which I think it is too, but I know that wasn't the reason they lost. And then there was the student in science class that thought that naval stores are the place where sailors buy things. I noticed Archie and Chief picking up things after the pep meeting Friday. That's the begin- ning of a bad habit, pretty soon every time they go up town they will start picking things up.
