—D.C.H.S.— Hi-Light subscriptions are all in now and the top sellers in each class were Carol Rumschlag, senior; Judy Baker, junior; Mary Catherine Murphy, sophomore; and Joe Geimer, freshman. The top saleman in the school won $2.50 and the other top salesmen in each class won $1.50, the cost of a HiLight subscription. —D.C.H.S.— The high school students and eighth graders are selling adult season .tickets to the home basketball games. Last year the present senior ehukg sold 63ltickets. The season ticket is really an inexpensive way to attend all the home games, and the price this year is the same as was last year. ■—O.C.H.S.— November 4, a basketball clinic will be held in the school gym. The clinic is being held so that parents and students might learn the state of our school athletic department. Coach Lindahl will go over the new rules and the varsity team will play an inter-squad game. This game will be used to introduce to spectators some of the plays which will be used this season. The cheerleaders will acquaint the team’s supporters with some new yells. The clinic will be a fine chance for the people to preview our team in action, and to get a hint of the excitement which will be in store for them at the coming games. —D.C.H.S.Do you like to bowl? Well, if you do, you are just the person that should help get the campaign started. Dick Mies is trying to start bowling teams but doesn’t seem to be able to catch the interest of the students. Yet it seems that most of the sporting fans in this school like to bowl! Dick a DCHS aluminus, would like to form bowling teams in the various schools within the county. He needs supporters in order to get these leagues formed, so if you are a bowling fan, visit Dick and let him know you are interested in his plan. Bowling is as wholesome an activity as basketball or baseball. —D.C.H.S.— Nothing is more invigorating than a glqwing bonfire in this crisp autumn air we are having. Our cheerleaders are trying to plan an evening outing and bonfire for the high school students, but their plans are not yet definite. More will be reported on this subject at a later date. —D.C.H.S.Venetian Tapes and Cords The tapes and cords of Venetian blinds can be cleaned with a liquid white shoe polish.

My boy friend at college wants me to send him a photograph of myself with some “tender sentiment” written on it. What would be appropriate for me to write on it? A. My advice to you is to write nothing! A girl’s picture in a college room is an attention-getter as it is—but written endearments on it can attract the sort of attention and comments any well-bred man or girl should hate. Q. When attending a buffet dinner, is it permissible to revisit the table for a second helping? A. This is perfectly all right. The big rule to observe is to refrain from filling the plate a second time and then leaving acme of it uneaten.
