Mr. Bahr is thorough- ly convinced the Russians are invading the earth from space. Mr. Rounds, who is doing a book on Space History, says he is tired of the earth and he wants to go into space exploration. The Art Department, under Mrs. Sweeney's direc- tion, has put up many Welcome posters. These posters, in many different sizes, shapes, colors, and languages have been placed around the school to welcome the spacemen. Many of these posters are friendly welcome signs. Some are warnings to the students that we have in- structions for air raids. Some humorous artists have completed a mural in the cafeteria, with space monsters reminiscent of the Purple People Eater. The home economics classes checked their cook books and made up recipes of Martian delicacies. Bar-B-Q Meteors and Green Cheese Cake are featured.

Miss Ronglien said, I think we should have the speech classes help us welcome them. Miss Silian interrupted her with, Why just the speech classes?

Martian hats for men and women allowed for antennae, cmd costumes are dyed beautiful colors such as moon green, heavenly blue, starry yellow, comet red and space purple. Mrs. Perrigo's family living classes have chosen two students from each class to welcome the space visitors.

She had to make emergency preparations, in case the visitors had none of these attributes. The physical education department is preparing for the coming of the spaceship. Miss Boettcher is throwing ropes up to attach to the clouds surrounding the ship. Miss Glunn is really going all out for swimming. She has some idea that the earth will become flooded and only those who can swim will survive. Mr. Kotecki and his classes are building up their muscles in order to be aggressive and defend good old West against the spacemen in case they are hostile. The industrial arts department built a spaceship to provide for a quick evacuation, should this flying saucer prove hostile. Mr. Onarheim had a contest in his drawing classes using isometric proiection to design a fast rocket June Weigand .. ., K 11
