EDITORIAL. When basketball season has ended it seems there Is nothing more for students to do ’til school is out in May. Os course, there are the two class plays for which rehearsing has started but as far as actual activity and excitement is concerned, there is none. This creates a feeling of restlessness in pupils of all grades and lasts from the first of March until spring fever sets in! From the freshmen to the seniors lessons are forgotten and grades slip. It .happens in every school—caused by a lull in the school’s activities, Seniors in particular are restless, waiting for graduation day to come; sometimes wishing it were here now, other times wishing it wouldn’t come quite So soon. Why is it that so many schools Crowd every activity possible into the fall, winter and late spring, leaving March and April with frothing? Maybe it is so we students who have slipped back a little could take advantage of this spare time to catch upon those history or algebra lessons! — Janet Fenstermacher. Who’s Who A little more than eighteen years ago, on December 5, 1932 to be exact, the town of Van Wert, Ohio, learned oi the birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown. The baby was named Barbara Ann but immediately she became known as Babs to relatives and friends. Mrs. Brown ivas, of course, interested in her daughter’s future so it wasn’t long until they encountered a well-known fortune teller. The gypsy proceded to tel] Barbara’s future up to (and a little after) graduation. At graduation the gypsy said that Barbara would be only about 5 feet tall; would weight 106 pounds; and would have the color of eyes with which she was born: blue. Even

her hair couldn’t change color it’s s color from birth: light brown. ; The schools Barbara was destined 1 to attend included St. Xavier s Academy and Hyde Park High in i Chicago, and Syracuse High r 1 School in Indiana. t Tlje gypsy warned Mrs. Brown j that her daughter would be busy i while in high school. The activii ties she saw Barbara participat- ; ing in were Speech and Journalism -clubs, chorus, Junior Ladies . and Annual staff. Her favorite [ subject would be Latin. In spite r of all this, the fortune teller saw ; that Barbara’s pet peeve was . school. When Mrs. Brown asked • the gypsy what Barbara would re- 1 . member most about her high schools, she was informed that ; Barbara couldn’t forget returning to Syracuse High School to gradi uate. , The scene changed in the fortune teller’s crystal ball and she' found Barbara in the midst of her favorite extra-curricular activities. Listening to Paul Weston’s j orchestra, while Doris Day sang “Again”, eating hamburgers and french fries and talking, her fav-j orite hobby. Yes, Mrs. Brown was Informed, she would manage to' do all these at once. Soon the fortune teller cast her glance far ahead into the future and got a glimpse of Barbara as a nurse after she had completed her training. That ended the interview and Mrs. Brown thanked the ypsy who said: “Remember this, your daughter will always have the best wishes of the Class of ’sl back of her!” — Janet Fenstermacher i Junior High Basketball Our Yellow Jackets defeated Leesburg in the first game at Milford —54-28. They played on Tuesday and Friday and were finally; trounced by Milford by a score of ! I 33-10. The season was an average one with 5 wins over 4 losses.

Totally disabled veterans who have served 90 days or more in the armed forces and are worth $5,000 or less ,as shown by the tax duplicate are entitled to SI,OOO personal or real estate property tax exemption. 3 Checks Acceptable.

/ Sophomore Class News . I Sorry I didn’t get the sopho-J [ more news in last week but the • deadline crept up on me. If anyi one has done something funny, i unusual, or strange; gone someI place; or heard from a sophomore l' who has moved away, I’ll be glad r to write it up. After wading through “Silas • Marner” the Sophomores are now ■ flying with Wendell Willkie i around the world. Willkie’s book ( “One World” was written in 1943 ■ 1 and it deals with the general condition of the Far East at that' i time. Willkie predicts future happenings with such accuracy that 1 one realizes he must have been a brilliant man far ahead of his time. He had a keen eye and his observations, though made eight years ago, are helpful when one I is trying to understand the present world situation. J Deep Dark Secret: Who threw the chalk in Literature class? A severe questioning by Mrs. Charleck failed to reveal the culprit who hurled it and narrowly missed hitting a couple of people in I the head. This sort of thing isn’t | encourage in the class room. It gets on one’s nerves to say noth-' ing of ruining the chalk I Six Sophomore boys attended the Regional games in South Bend Saturday—saw a movie, and some reportedly were politely kicked i out by -two or three ushers. Perhaps the Sophomores need a re-i formation? —Jane Bachman | Junior Class News “No news is good news”, so the saying goes, and this week the j Juniors are practically newsless, j (except for strenuous efforts to get the play ready). Everyone has ! their ticket — we hope! | If you haven’t purchased your ( ticket yet, get yours from any member of the Junior Class. Stu- . dent tickets are only 25c; Adult' 5 tickets are 50c. Don’t miss ' “Babies’ Night Out.” 1 Happy birthday to Patty Spen- ■ cer, March 14. I

He is entitled- ' to” file form if-A, prescribed by the state board of tax commissioners, and will receive $2,000; real estate or personal property tax exemption as well as poll tax exemption.

Freshman News This week it is Happy Birthday to Carolyn Mulholland, who on February 26 was fifteen, and to Sandra Curry, who was fifteen on February 28. Sandra was really born on February 29, which only comes once every four years, so Sandra really is only three or four years old. The Freshman Class seems to be suffering from the annual disease of spring fever. We are glad to see the new season come. One I reason would be that we can give up (we hope) our honorable position as “Freshies,” to a new crop of eligibles. Being a Freshman is quite an experience, sometimes we never recover from it. You know the old saying “you can always tell a Freshman—but you can’t tell him much.” — Marilyn Hursey John Kroh Guest At College John Kroh was a guest of Michigan State College in East Lansing, Michigan last Saturday. He was accompanied by Everett Rookstool of Beaver Dam, Mr. Snodgrass, Mr. Stouffer and son, Jim, all of Pierceton. The party inspected the new Sigma Nh Fraternity house and the boys played basketball in the afternoon. They were introduced to Michigan State’s coach, Pete Newell. After eating, they witnfessed the lowa University-Michigan State basketball game and returned home the same evening. Congratulations Congratulations are in order to' three of our basketball boys for. making the All-County teams. j Gareth Meek and John Kroh were placed on the first team and Jack Darr on the second team. Percentages of free throws this year are as follows: John Kroh, 6-6.4; Gareth Meek, 6(6; Jack Darr, 61.6; Ernie Rogers, 57.1; Tom Gladieux, 53.3; Jim Fry 42.4; Steve Lung, 46.7; Pete Doll, 41; Joel Bates 33.3.
