YeU Practice Hield Two yell practices were held last week on Wednesday and Friday afternoons, but lets* yeU at these sessions, fans! It's a PEP session, remember? Get to work and learn the new yells. We can have the best cheering section in Kosciusko county if we honestly try! Det’s really make ourselves heard Friday night! Jane Bachman. Senior News At the Senior class meeting last Wednesday it was decided that we would hold four cake walks at home games to earn money for our trip next spring. Last Tuesday the first annual staff meeting was held. We have decided on the cover and the paper for the annual. Now we are all busy thinking of a good design for the cover. The twelve girls in third year Home Ec. are cooking their lunch at school this week. Every day we have chosen a menu and committee for the different duties. So in case you were wondering about the pleasing aroma around school the fourth period, it’s just us “aflxln’ vittles”. Lots of luck Friday night, fellows? Let’s beat Webster.

The Seniors wish a Happy Birthday to: Lee Oyler, Nov. ®. Junior News Friday night, Nov. 21, is the date set for our turkey dinner. It is to be pot luck with all the class participating. In addition to our class, we are inviting our sponsors, principal, and their wives, and Mr. and Mrs. Vance. Mrs. Vance is graciously helping the losing team cook the turkey. Quite a few of the Juniors were on hand to witness the basketball game last Saturday night, which shows we were ready to start the season and like to back our team. We were sorry to lose, but we know someone must always lose, and we’re proud of the way our team played. We stand back of the team — win or lose. It is easy to back a winner, but we show our true school spirit and good sportsmanship when we back our losing team. Marilyn Hursey. Sophomore News If tear drops were pennies the sophomore girls would be very well to do. In Home Ec. we had fried onions and quite a few tears were shed. Saturday night started the 195'2-1953 basketball season for the Syracuse Yellow Jackets. The boys played a good game and tried hard. Milford had to have a good team to beat Syracuse. The Sophomores have one boy on the first team. He is Tom Koble. The Sophomore boys on the second team are Stover Hire, Red Denton, Dennis Firestone, Don Hapner and Arthur Coy. The president of the sophomore class appointed a committee of Lenora Reagan, Pat Anglemyer, Lee Oyler, Joe Shewmon and Tom Koble to plan our class party. Patti Anglemyer. Freshman News Wow! What a time! That was being said by most of the freshman Thursday morning in school, after our class party Wednesday night. The party was supposed to start at 7:30 but, I never yet have gone to a party that started on time. The game committee was right on the ball because we were doing something every minute. Say, those refreshments weren’t bad either. • I imagine you will see some evidence of the party the early part of the week because some low down freshman took a camera. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Mock for letting us have our party In their barn and we also wish to thank Mr. Garner, our sponsor, for being able to put up with us for two and a half extra hours, although I think he had just as much fun as we did. The freshman class was well represented on the second team. You did a swell job fellows—first

Who’s Who ' My little boy had been after me for days to let him join the ! new Boys’ Club that was just ! starting in our town so I 'finally ; took him down to the club to ; join. The boy at the desk said • we would have to talk to the director first so we waited. When |we were told to go in, a very good looking, 5’ *ll, brown hair- ( ed, green-eyed, fellow opened the door for us. I thought I should know him and finally I realized It was Dave Longenecker, a fellow Senior in '53. Dave told us all the details of the club and

then one of the guides took my little Homer around the club while Dave &nd I had a coke and talked over what Important things had happened to us since graduation. Dave said he liked his ,v o.k real well as it had always been his ambition to be a Boy’s Club Director and they did a lot of work on photography, his hobby. Also most of the boys liked to play basketball in their spare time and that suited him fine as it was his favorite sport. I asked Dave if they fed him enough and he said the food was swell and the meat loaf, french fries, and cottage cheese for supper and they were all his favorites. I asked him if he ever had time to listen to the radio or records and he said not much but he managed to hear Billy May and also Nat King Cole. Dave said everytime he heard “You Belong To Me” he took time off to sit down and listen to it. I asked Dave about his pet peeve* and with a very disgusted tone of voice told me it was, cars that break down and won’t start. Dave said that next month a very Important program was to be given at the club and all the parents were invited. He had a chance to have any two movie stars he wanted to come so the boys could see them In person, so he chose his favorites, Corrine Calvert and Richard Wldmark. I told Dave I would certainly be there, | then little Homer an I started for home. Every place I go, I see one of my classmates and I’m hoping I always will. G. A. A. The meeting was called to order by the president, and the roll was called. Kick ball was played in the gym since we couldn’t go bowling because of repairs being made at the bowling alleys. I also wish to report a mistake I made last week. The girls went bowling at Ligonier, not Goshen. Patricia Charters. ' Library News A book of one-act plays has been placed in* the library. It was presented to the school by the publishers of “Not In A Thousand Years”, the play produced last
