McVout Soiree This cute looking trio of Senior girls l?l, Marty Shanahan, Bobbie Dougherty, and Carol Lipscher, did a great iob of selling outside the Serior Room this year. Grunts aplenty were heard around the Indian Wrestling booth, as con- tests like the one Bill Brandvold and Mike Kertez are engaged in, raged throughout the evening. It looks as if Mal Starch, Mickey Shlens, is really testing that Shevlon lipstick that Carole Lipscher is wearing. lf you don't believe it, iust ask Tex Pinkledort, Bill Carter, the contestant in the booth. l f WWQ ,,,.40h.. l .2 , i fifrr.

iii? 1. Rex ,L , The royolty ot the McVout Soiree, Mr. McVout, Bruce Miller, ond Miss Soiree, .lonet Weiss, ore congratulated by Vince Colombo, co-choirmon of the big evening, A rousing success was the vvoy this yec1r's McVout Soiree could be des- cribed. The community worked tor mony weeks prior to the big night to moke this the best one ever. Vincent Colombo ond Ann Woiohn were the co-choirmen ond they spent mciny o worried hour plcinning the progrorn tor the evening with Miss Armington. Fridoy, Mdrch 22, scivv mobs ot people, young cmd old, descend upon the school to sworrn through the hells. Once inside the door, one had no choice os to which wciy he wanted to go. lt was just step inside ond get shoved cilong. Lciughter wos the key- note ot the evening os people were pushed from booth to booth. At 9:30 ci donce was given, ot which time the royolty ot the evening vvcis onnounced. Bruce Miller, Mr. Mc- Vout, ond Jonet Weiss, Miss Soiree, were the lucky poir. By -llZ3O the school hod begun to cleor considerobly. Only Ann ond Vince were lett in ony con- dition to run ground the holls trying to collect proceeds ond see thot the build- ing vvcis cleoned. Everyone else hod either gone home or collcipsed.

Study! Study! Study! Well, comfortable? Bet the only sound that could reach Karen Woiahn's ears at this moment is the newest Elvis Presley record or the dinner bell as she studies for the big test tomorrow. Now let's see. Use shall with second and third person and will with first. , .No. Wait a minute. Use shall with .. .. .. . Well, good luck, Mary Bishop, and here's hoping that last look at your notes will pull you through. l 1 8 While most of the last minute studying we do is at school, the heaviest burden at other times falls on those all too few out of school hours. Stretching out on the living room floor, curled up in an easy chair, or last, and usually least, sitting upright at a desk. These are the favorite positions for that ardous task of crack- ing the book. Ardous is hardly the word for the iob set before the students, for the temptations set be- fore us are overwhelming. A good television program, a good book, a good ball game. Why does everything have to be so good when we have to study? Perhaps the biggest demon is the radio. Listening to it and writing a passing Eng- lish theme is a feat accomplished by few. Many of us try it, though. Have you ever read an English theme written in four-four time?
