085 y developing into Stormy Weather , but the skies cleared a little as the second semester started. Azzever, LLMAlKIFll -Q- DEAR .bMARGIEll February first the band and chorus decided to Say It With Music as they presented their annual concert. It was a very good program but never long enough. Horlick came to Zion the fifth and left, taking the honors of the evening. This is the second time this year they have won, but Somewhere, Some' time we are going to have the pleasure. The score was 25 to 27. Un the seventh Roy Bendell gave an assembly program about Lincoln. Abraham was a very interesting per' son. Mr. Bendell's presentation of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was very stirring and realistic. Look Out Below , the wrestling team is coming. Mr. Hainline took the boys to the Washington Park High in Racine the eighth and they won a couple of matches. On the tenth there was a war bond program. Any Bonds Today for you? Step right up: the line forms to the left. 'rr Y Rosie left the twelf for the l'Army Air Corps . We su ely miss him in chemistry, and the annual staff meetings were awfully different until Bill took over. TB or not TB, that is the congesf tion . Excuse me, Mr. Shakespeare. We had an assembly the fourteenth to show the students how necessary TB tests are. Those little germs certainly are cute on the screen. Cn the fifteenth we went to Grant and, Hip, Hip, Hooray we won again. The score was 44 to 28. Freshies, sophomores, and juniors stepped up to Watch the Birdie as the camera clicked. The group pictures for the annual were taken the sixteenth. Miss Studer had things very well or' ganized, and even under such a strain, she came Smilin' Through . We had a game with Libertyville on the eighteenth and we lost, with the points totaling 22 to their 38. Oh Dear, What Can the Matter Be? Maybe the boys were just Warmin' Up for the tournament game. The G.A.A. sponsored a dance on the nineteenth. Stardust drifted over the swaying crowds and the orchestra played to an audience that was Driftf ing and Dreaming . Page Sixtyftlnet

contest for the fastest talker and I guess we all know why. When that junior Miss begins a speech it makes my head do a Loop the Loop. january eighth we went to Racine and we lost to the Trojans with a score of 14 to 35 . Horlick High is really out and away from everythingg it feels like a twentyfmile hike Crosstown from the station. There was another basketball game the eleventh at Hebron and the Raiders went in fighting but they couldn't raise that 14. The boys kept piling up on the floor and yelling Let Me Up. Our Water Boy was run ragged. Score 14 to 19 in Hebron's favor. The University of Wisconsin had two of their very talented representa' tives give an assembly program the fourteenth. These members of the Theater Workshop gave three very interesting performancesg one on I Knew Lincolnvg another on the dagger scene from Macbethg and the third, a comedy, Her Husbands Ghost. The evening of the fourteenth we played Highland Park. We lost the gameg but Get Happy, don't feel so bad, we can't win all the time. Score 20 to 32. Golly, did we beat Grant the eight' Page Swtyftwo 5 jing eenth! You'll Never Know how we screamed when they had the ball. Final score 56 to 32. Mr. Schacht came back to Zion' Benton the twentieth of january to give us an assembly program that left us a little 'LBreathless. I think we'll all remember him most for his singing of the Lord's Prayer and all the kids hope he will come again next year. Sam Campbell showed some beautif ful colored slides of the scenic beauty of northern Wisconsin the twentyfiirst. It brought back Memories to many of our students of summer vacations spent in that part of our country. I had a Worried Mind the twenty' seventh and twentyfeighth, for they were the days scheduled for semester tests. The seniors were trying to give Consolation to the freshmen and warning them to Stop, Look, and Listen. Washington Park came here the eve' ning of the twentyfseventh and I guess our boys were thinking of the exams because they didn't do so well. The score was 26 to 36. The kids came, regardless of the consequencesg and the crowd was pretty good, considering the fate that awaited everyone. January ended with these dark clouds

just two more points could have tied that score at Northbrook on the twenty' first. That kind of a game gave me Goose Pimplesu, so near and yet so far. The score was 28 to 30. Washington's birthday was A Day of Sunshine . Another holiday for the students of ZfB.T. and it came just about the time when we were getting tired of school, again. The Wedding March began to play and Miss Betty Faassen walked up the aisle to become the bride of Mr. Sanford. Their wedding took place the twentyffifth. The groom had the Shivers and For the First Time was speechless. On the twentyfsixth a large group of students went to Niles High to see a game. A few freshman girls had a great deal of fun going up on the train but were chaperoned by the seniors. The team did very well but the score kept mounting for Niles and no one, it seemed, could Stop lt. We lost with the score 25' to 40. Let's Try Again and maybe we can wing Then I'1l Be Happy. The regional tournaments were held at Libertyville this year on the twenty' ninth. You'd never be able to guess the school we drew to play against. ,415 ZW Niles Township!!! lsn't that a co' incidence! Our boys recalled all their rules and followed up with a good display of Teamwork but the score remained 30 to 36. I hope next year we can win the trophy because we all know that Time Changes Everything. Love, MAit1E -6- DEAR HLORETTAN, A novel assembly was given when the senior members of the basketball squad played against the coming var' sity. The boys couldn't get Angry with their classmatesg so the game was just a lot of fun. The seniors lost, score 19 to 21. We couldn't send a cheering section to Waukesha with the team but we were all rooting for them. They played there on the fourth and won. Score 37 to 17. I could Shout for joy . l don't mean to be Braggin ' but it feels so good to end the season with a win. Daisy Mae and all the Little Abners were at the Hobo dance which was sponsored by the Home Ee Club on the tenth. All Mr. Pearce needed 1 -- W E . . . ., 1' Q emi!! wi Q' -4 m , M 13 Mu Page bixtyffoiw
