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

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.

I I We all relaxed on lanuary 29 listening to the rhythmic strains of Spike Stanford's band and chorus To start the new month off right, we had an assembly by Mr. Scott-Morrison, called ln- limate Glimpses. Maybe his piano music inspired our rough riders. That night they stampeded Burlington by a neat 20 to 36. Feb, ruary 4th, we welcomed back a former ranch boss, Mr. King, who left Z-B ranch to serve our country. On the 8th, all our cowhands were slicking up again for pictures for our ranch records. On the 9th our cowpunchers did it again. Wood- stock bowed to us, 27 to 38. Everyone on the ranch was singing the praises of Abraham Lincoln on February l2th. We got a vacation from our ranch duties. On the 16th, even the cows had long faces. Highland Park had cor- ralled us the night before, 25 to 42. How's your hobby coming along, Eb? Or didn't that assembly by Edwin Rowland on February 18 influence you very much? Yep, l sure liked it. l wonder if it was Eagles hobby to pile up 24 points as he did at the Kenosha game on the l9th. We won, 51 to 32. Lady Luck threw us then. On the 21st, we lost to St. Catherine by a score of 3l to 33. The Spanish-Latin Club had a late Valentines party on the 25th. All of us almost lost our voices along with the games to New Trier in the Regional on the 26th. They didn't throw us very farg the score was 29 to 35. Again we started the month off right with an assembly by the public speaking class. Then we got set back again when we saw on the 4th, 5th, and 6th what atrocities a camera can commit, but even then some of the dudes bought them. Page Seventy nine
