Plew, Jean Ketering, Frances Miller, Doris Rodgers, Eugene Gordon, Charles Kroh and James Slabaugh. Here are some more Seniors and songs they remind us of : 1. Lois Held—-“ Riding Down that Old Texas Trail.” 2. Doris Davis—“ Breathless.” 3. Robert Byrd—“ Small Fry.” 4. Beverly Bartels—“Let’s Get Away from It All.” 5. Doris Rodgers—“ This Love of Mine.” 6. Eugene Gordon—“ Praise the Lord and Pass the Amunition.” 7. Phyllis Bitner—“What Word Is Sweeter than Sweetheart.” 8. Jim Kroh—“You Can’t Stop Me from Dreaming.” 9. Decima Kolberg—“Love Me or Leave Me Alone.” Sophomore News Well, we had our class party last Saturday night with a good attendance. We had our party and refreshments, then went to the show. Most of the boys were with their best girls, so the party was great. In our history class, Mr. Henry has been saying for the past week we will have a test tomorrow, but never gets it made out. (Which makes us all very blue.) The Sophomore class , is sorry that Syracuse lost to Milford, but since we can’t win them all, we will forgive them and wish them luck in the game with North Webster Friday night and Breman next Wednesday might. Those who were absent the past week were:- Charles Searfoss, Robert Grimes, Adolph Stieglitz, Bill Cory, Merl Laughlin, Rosemary Telschow, Jeannette LeCountv Robert Grimes wasn't at school Monday morning, and we wonder if his girl on Saturday night could have done something to him. Each day we have a written drill in Latin but the minute we get started the bell rings. “Have to get that watch fixed someday” is getting to be Miss Hamman’s slogan. i The Home Ec students are getting to be wonderful cooks. The girls haven’t burned any toast for a whole week now. “Wishful Thinking” “My! How I wish this war was over!” or “Gee! But I wish we had some more scrap!” or even. “Oh, those Japs are puny!” Some people might call these phrases imagination or dreams, but our president expressed it in two appropriate words: Wishful Thinking. 1 , I wonder how many of us are wishful thinkers; how many like to dream of obstacles ahead as being conquered instead of getting down to subduing them at the moment. Too many of us have this sad plight and realize it. Pity be on the individual who has it and does not recognize it. And just what shall we do about it? We’ll stop dreaming, and start accomplishing. We’ll make our wishes become realities and not by gazing into a deep blue sky of nothingness, but by putting “our shoulder to the wheel.” We will complete our task and ask for another and finish it also in short order. Let’s make our day dreams work. The exclamation: “My! How I Wish this War Was Over!” must be changed to: “It took a lot of work to win that war but it sure was worth it.”, —Dick Johnson.

• •••••••••••••••• • OPINIONS OF THE • • EDITOR’S WIFE • A number of people celebrated birthdays last week. Mrs C. George celebrated her s Monday. Mrs. George has been in bed for . the past week and a half wi,th broncitis. Susan Kroh and Joe Rapp, Sr., celebrated birthdays on Sunday. Tuffy Oswalt celebrated his first birthday since joining the armed forces. Several from here sent him a reminder. J Had a look-in on the Indiana Employment Agency set-up over in Goshen, this week, and more determined now than ever we should not complain. There were, among others, several hopeless cripples seeking employment, persons who if they found time to complain would be in an institution. The best remedy for feeling ■ sorry for yourself is to go out in the world—and you will always find someone much worse off than yourself. Women are running true to form, however —they prefer to enlist rather than be drafted. Many Goshen housewives have offered their services. Many women registered for work who have children dependent on them. Plans are made to offer a kindergarten service for these children. Therefore every able bodied man will be serving his country in one way or another because of sacrifices of women all over the U.S.A. Mrs. Etta Seese, who makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. ■ Perry Hunger, will celebrate her ' 83rd birthday anniversary today ; (Friday). In’ spite of her years, 1 Mrs Jeese is active and healthy , and now during a shortage of ' farm help, with Mrs. Bunger help- ■ 1 ing in the fields, Mrs. leese is do-1

ing the cooking. Just another woman doing her shart for Victory. In time of war men usually get most of the credit—but today we have the WAVES, the WAACS and other women’s organizations working actively in the war endeavor. We must be coming into our own! A recent newspaper item tells of an Indiana woman, aged 55, who had to have both legs amputated because of an accident caused by a tractor she was driving. She was out in the .field doing_ a man’s work, perhaps inexperienced as to how to operate the tractor. Women will stop • some of that by replacing able bodied men in factories so they can get into the fight. A certain amount of men must be retained on our farms to secure our future crops.
