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,

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

HAH! CLI' during our vacation, we went wild at the Lake Forest game on the 23rd, when we lost 31 to l0. Afterwards we relaxed at a dance spon- sored by the Spanish-Latin Club. We were back in the saddle again when we played St. Edwards on Nov. 27 and won 26 to 40. That was too much! Rip Van St. Germain went to sleep, not for 20 years but for one whole period, in BOTH Chemistry and English the next day. On Nov. 29, some of the girls dressed up for school because of the Public Speaking dinner that night. The boys had rounded up the pheasants for it. The next night we all felt pretty sad after we lost to Warren 38 to 20. However, we felt compensated because we won the reserve game 23 to l5, and our cow punchers put up a good fight. Remember December 4, Zeke. Some of our ranch-hands got shot that day, vaccinated, that is. Four days later, Walworth bowed to us, 49 to 27. Afterwards, the Commercial Club spon- sored a shindig. The Seniors were hankerin' for a celebration: they'd won the Bond Drive just the day before. On December ll, we al- most got bucked by Grant, but we lassoed them 24 to 25. We had a mighty good assembly program on December 14. Mr. Lytton's inspiring speech, I Am an American, stayed with us even thru the Home-Ec Dance that night. One of our huskier I?l ranch-hands did right smart as Ole St. Nick. We seemed to be doing all right by our- selves in basketball. We whipped Burlington, 20 to 43, on December 15. Our dudes spon- sored a big round-up after the victory. Our friends south of the border gave a jim-dandy Christmas celebration on December l7th. MR. ROWLANDS AND HIS HOBBIES MR.
