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.

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

025 g to finish his costume was a shootin' iron. The seniors have their calling cards At Last and are feeling quite im' portant. I think the juniors and fresh' men have more of them than we do. Something was brewing at school for a long time that concerned the upper classmen because all of our teachers were so mysterious. Tuesday, the fourf teenth, all juniors and seniors were assembled in their respective rooms when the blow fell. Uh, Why Was I Born? We took a test that lasted from nine until twelvefthirty, and at the end of that time we were a very dumb look' ing group. On the seventeenth the seniors sponf sored an allfschool party that was a success even though dancing was omitted. The pie eating contest was very funny and for a long time there remained a Blue Afterglow on eight faces. Spring is here and everyone's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. Some senior girls made life miserable for a senior boy who is quite famous as a woman hater. The other kids have taken to Day Dreaming and as soon as the weather clears, many of them will be Absent MQ l I .nj X The seniors have been quite busy as usual. The English classes gave an assembly the twentyffourth which was very good. Freshmen and sophomores had a party at school the twentyffifth. The second year students gave it for the youngsters and everyone had fun. School is im' portant, but after all, The Play's the Thing . Everyone practiced in earnest as the night drew near for the annual circus. The twentyfninth was a dress rehearsal and on Thursday the thirtieth, a matinee performance for the grade school chilf dren. The tumbling teams were good and The Clowns were very attracf tive. Carol jean made a very beautiful queen, and in her court were some of the prettiest girls in the senior class. Ch, those lucky, lucky boys!!! Strike Up the Band and the circus has started. Crack the Whip and make the animals dance. This is Zionf Benton High School and we're Tentf ing Tonight. Yours, MARIE -Qj.. DEAR LLVIRGINIA, GEKURGIA, AND CAROLINEH, We have been so busy preparing for Page Sixty fue
