DISAR Bois, Our School Days started the eighth of September this year. 'Tll Never Smile Again is the theme of our freshies. Come on Small Fry , cheer up and Look for the Silver Lining . The Hrst few days they were having quite a time removing lipstick from their hair, face, hands, ears, and clothes. Lipstick together with new classes, new people, and locker combinations had them all a trifle Scatterbrained . We met our new teachers in regular classes the ninth, and we were very pleasantly surprised. Misses Krughoif, Gleiss, and Hillborn, and Mrs. Hale are an addition to our very fine teaching staff. Mr. Stanton is our basketball coach and new history teacher and a very good instructor in both. A prec' edent was established by Mr. Hainline when he organized our wrestling team. Mr. Teal, teacher of woodwork, was caught in the draft before he could make an appearance. I wanted to have my schedule changed but there is some rule saying you must have sixteen credits. Silly, isn'r it? And trying to hit the right keys in typing class was almost impossible. Or Page Fiftyeiglit ,415 Em making an attempt at recalling, Italia non est insula . The seniors are really feeling Low and Lonely now. Their first history test was the seventeenth. Indian Summer arrived bringing our first football game of the season on the twentyffourth. Lake Forest came Swingin' Down the Lane to win the game by a score of 0 to 19. jerry must have eaten Wheaties because Lake Forest's center sure looked funny lying on his face in a mudfpuddle. That was one day the Blue Skies were of the overhanging, damp variety. Well, I'll close now but I'm still Thinking of You . As ever, MARIE -.W DEAR BILL, Our classes are mere routine now, As Time Goes By . It really is nice to be back in the grind again but wait until the novelty wears off. On the seventh of Gctober, Miss Gilbert, an English teacher, joined the teaching staff to pour knowledge into the unwilling ears of our sophomores. I imagine Miss G. will be glad when It's All Over .

oed g The seventh and eighth were a little more exciting. We were excused from classes to have our physical examina- tions for gym. On the seventh, Berta caused a slight tremor when she came in looking as though a house had fallen on her. She claims her scooter broke down but you should see their car! The team traveled to Libertyville the eighth and quite a group of students went Over There to watch the game. Richard Bjork had his ankle broken and This Time he is going to have a few weeks of Solitude . Score 7 to 27. My Motto has always been Live and Let Live but the first six week period came bringing the tests. Now I'm Crying Myself to Sleep 'cause It Makes No Difference Now . I'm beyond all hope. The end of the six weeks was on the fifteenth and our cards, with grades, came out on the twentieth. Belvidere was challenged by our Stout Hearted Men the fifteenth, to a rough and tumble game of football on our home field. lt kept our boys On the Alert and they came through with flying colors. Score 8 to 6. The twentyfsecond brought another game to the home grounds when Waukesha came Struttin' Un Down . That game had us on Pins and Needles . Final score 20 to O, our favor. The Harvest Moon rose the twentyfninth after a most exciting game with Warren. Score 19 to O. This was the homecoming and many of our alumni attended the contest and the dance in the evening. The orchestra was grand and time passed so quickly that before we knew it The Music Stopped . This is the End of a Perfect Day . Answer soon. 'Bye now, isMARlEii -Q- DEAR CAROL, The fifth brought a football game at Lake Forest. The cheering section went wild when jerry threw the 200 pound rightfend over his shoulders. It was very cold, but Some One brought blankets and we were quite comfortable. We lost again, 0 to 6. Oh, those seniors really do things up right. Such food! What games! 'Tm Wondering How they think of things like that. Their hobo party took place the ninth. Mr. Stanton was very kindly Page Fifty nme
