HEI!! Cll' lo ti. The iinx held out too. This time it was lack McDowell's turn again. Being Homecoming Week, Monday, Oct. 22, was the first day of a very busy week. To start the ball rolling, we paraded through town and had a pep meeting around a huge bon- lire. Then for the first time we stood, ankle deep in mud, and watched the lights go oh, on our new athletic field. Otto St. Germain prepared for the event by sleeping through English class. On the 24th the rough riders had their lirst practice under the lights. Say, fellows, DON'T forget we got our re- port cards for the first six weeks and a very inspiring talk by Sam Grathwell about the efficiency of our G-men on that same day. The Spanish-Latin Club had a Halloween party the next night. Friday, Oct. 26th, was the lrig night we'd all been waiting for, and it was worth it. Belvidere bowed to us, l4 to O before three thousand people. Before the game, Dorothy Welton was crowned Miss Personality. 'l'o top off the week, we stomped out to the music ol Lenny Iadrick's Orchestra at the llomecoming Dance on Saturday night. To recuperate, we had October 29 off. Of course, there happened to be a Teachers' ln- stitute on the same day. Maybe the rest did the Senior girls good as they won the soccer tournment on November lst. The boys took their cue from the girls and in their second night football game on Nov. 2, they hogtied Waukesha 33 to O. Perhaps it was because Glenn Rich was back in the line-up again. They must have killed a good steer for the P.T.A. dinner on Nov. Sth. As a Swiss steak, it was both tasty and tender for Open House, Wtltillll it, Mike? l l'l l l'lilT lfX'l'lB 'l'll 'YN Nl'Vl'll 1 , JFIN ltlft'l'l' .X All Nil .l il AT 1 Wt 7l.l, Wt Ulll wily

664511 CICLI' Here we are, a bunch of old cowhands sitting around watching the years ao by. Re' member the year of '45 and '4t3? Don't you reckon that's one of the best years we'vo spent? Yeah, That was the year the dudes had a day, September 5, all to themselves so they wouldn't aet under the hoofs of the rest of the herd. The next day the rest of the herd, the Sen- iors, luniors, and Sophornores, parked their ialopies inside the old corral, lrut only lona enough to get instructions from the ranch boss. They really started workin-J on September 7th. Say, Clem. That first football aarne was really a qood start. September i4 was really our lucky day, we won over Palatine, l3 to ti. Remember Sept. l9th when that loco bunch of Senior airls aave Kato Reinier a birthday party complete with sinaina, cake, and useful presents? fDefinition of useful presents: corks, corn pads, rat traps, turtle food, shaving rnua.l September 2lst was the first time in the history of the Z-B Ranch that our vowpirricliers roped and threw the Libertyville Wiltltxtrtas, I3 to 7. Cowhand Glenn Rich was really broken up his nose, that is. ln our first assembly on Sept. 25, Dr. Carnes told us niany intcrestina thin-is alraut tho Maya Indians. Well, of course our luck caultln't hold will forever. So we lost to Burlington, QU to ti, on Cctober 5. Even though lack lVfcDowoll made our only touchdown, he knocked hirnself out doinq it and so the jinx had leaun, lt tool: another step forward when Glenn Ricli broke his thunib at the Vifaukesha qarne on October l2th. Even thouah he did so, we won, 2U to il. Yep, Zeke. Qur luck held out on Octal er' l9th when we beat New Trier lr. Varsity fill

Don't you remember, Slim? That was Nov. 6th, the day after Open House. Too bad we had to lose our last tootball game. We lost, 33 to O, to St. Catherines. That night, the Iunior Play, The Nutt Family, helped us to target our defeat. Yep. Nov. l2 we had a day oft from our chores. The Seniors probably spent that day slicking up for their Annual pictures that were taken the l3th and l4th. ln the assembly on November 16th, Mr. Stickles demonstrated with Yankee Doodle what could be done with one piece. However, it wasn't taken too seriously because that night at the Band party, they played more than one record. We really had fun the next night when the basketball varsity team beat the Alumni by a score of 34 to 17. The Seniors didnt have so much lun the next couple of days as their two thousand word themes were due on November 21. In fact, some of them were seen carrying Mother Goose rhymes around. Despite what people thought, it was really an assignment lor Public Speaking. Cn November 20, we won our tirst basket- ball game, 32 to l6, with Richmond on the losing end. Maybe it was because the team had eaten those man-size turkey dinners at noon that day. Say, I wonder why Otto went to sleep in English class the next day. Maybe the game was too much for him or could it have been his trouble with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania? The long-awaited vacation from the 22nd through the 25th seemed to gallop by. However,
