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.

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,

Yep, but it was pretty close, 22 to 28.0 Mr, and Mrs. Iulian Stripe, the Public Speak- ing Class, and the chorus gave us a mighty nice send-off for our short vacation from our ranch duties on December Zlst. Maybe that put a little pep into our ranch-hands to lick Capron that night by a score of 40 to 27, lt was a different story when we played last year's Seniors, on the 27th. The former cowhands beat us, 20-38. So we spent the rest of our vacation recoverin '. And guess where our cowpuncliers were on Ianuary 3 you guessed it, back to school! The vacation must have done our boys good. We roped St. Marys on the Sth, 3l to 40. Whicli reminds us: from now on we may have an all- star forward named Terry Kent Pearce, who made his debut to Z-B Ranch on Ianuary V. Une of our older cowhands iust can't take it Otto was asleep in American history class lanuary Qth. Maybe he was resting up for the Highland Park game on the l2th, and Warreri game on the l5thg but it didn't do rmrch good because we lost both games the first 41 to 27, and the latter 3l to 28. That was really a heart- breaker, Say, Clem, the seniors hard time party was really a rip-snorter. Mike won a gallon of milk in the baby bottle drinking contest. The next night at the Moose Benefit Game, Mooseheart won 30 to 38. From then on we all tried to benefit by studying for the exams, which were the 23rd and 24th. Reckon our vacation was for us to rest-up for a spell, but then on the 28th we got our
