If we could turn the hands of the clock back, we would want to stop at Christmas time and enjoy again our annual pageant, The First Noel”, with a star brightly shining over the stable and the children of Bethlehem gathering around, with the kings and the wise men bearing beautiful gifts to adore the Christ Child born in a manger. And, with the lovely music of Gesu Bambino” in our hearts, we would walk out into the cold of the winter’s day and a few of us would remember a cold night not so long before when two pros” and two cons” with a moderator debated at Lew Wallace School: Should the legal voting age be lowered to eighteen?” Like all auditorium projects, it was hard work, but a lot of fun. fhc many programs directed by Miss Ohnstad and Miss Goodman, and the day-by-day fun in dramatics make us want time to linger, but we must speed the hands of the clock ’round to May 10, 2:30, when we went on the air almost in time to celebrate our fifth anniversary of moving into this building. This was new to us, and we were scared, but they tell us it went off fine. Also—but the hands of the clock point to 12:30, and the date on our calendar says May 18—there is so much more we could say, but our trip back into time is ended....... ) ’.4 V14 mill SI’EECH IJp jclfPI S First row: A.

They work hard under their student sponsors at essential war-time jobs. Some of these jobs arc: paper collecting, bond and stamp sales, collection of waste fats, and salvage of tin cans. They also take care of children and collect money for the Red Cross. It is our hope that they will continue as a peace-time organization. MISGERS “A erne on Ranger Court, organized by the eighth grade students of 1941, should receive much credit for the maintaincnce of our natural surroundings. Sponsored by Mrs. Huddleston, the work is done by student volunteers. Most important of their many jobs is that of patrolling the woods and lawns. When a student is brought up before the court he is charged by the Ranger reporting him. After both sides have been stated, the jury comes to a decision and the next case is called. First row: A.

Lns (Urdus Espannles The first and second year Snanish classes under the supervision of Miss Galst have organized two Spanish clubs. The officers are: First Year—co-chairmen, Peggy Wcstcrgrecn and Fred Eichhorn; secretary, Adcle Eichhorn; program chairman, Nancy Mason. Second Year —chairman, Barbara Smith; secretary, Geraldine Nason; program chairman, Phyllis Hughes. The clubs meet monthly for a program, which usually follows a theme set by Miss Galst such as: Pan American Day, Cuban Day, and Mexican Independence Day. Los estudiantes have learned many interesting things about the other Americas—the customs, food, dress, music, dancing, history, politics, and geographical points of interest. Some students have subscribed to “La Luz”, a newspaper printed in espatiol. Pi Fmppa Pi “JJxunLlif During President Adams’ administration, Norma Allen was vice president, Doris Poling was treasurer, Faye Poe was secretary, and Mary Nash was our chaplain. We met on an average of once every two weeks and discussed everything from Love” to Prejudice”, some of the topics being Friendship”, Self-Reliance”, Manners”, and Boys”. Our activities were just as diversified: Some of us took Red Cross First-aid; we had a surprise banquet on Mrs. Griffith, a beach party, a harc-and-hound hunt, and a good old-fashioned initiation in the girls’ shower room. We even spent one evening coloring Easter eggs for the boys at Camp Atterbury, and one Saturday tramping around Chicago. Miss Studcbakcr and Miss Minnicar were elected to help Mrs. Griffith sponsor us. Miss Anna Mary Knapp, for five years a co-sponsor of P.K.P., is overseas in American Red Cross Military Welfare Service. First rou : J. Crawford, F. Nason, I). Poling, M. Nash, A. Adams, F. Poc, I).
