Seventh Grade News The seventh grade girls are working on two projects in Home Ec. Some are making skirts and others are making samplers. Poor Mrs. Vance! She’s being tugged, dragged, pulled and has had questions galore about, “How do you put a hem in?” “How do you make a feather stitch?’’ “Help me put in this elastic’’ etc. Well* she wanted to be a Home Ec teacher! —Shirley Moy

I volunteered to bring the refresh- • ments. The meeting then adjourn-, ed. Now that the last line has been spoken and the final curtain call taken, the Seniors of 1955 can breathe a sigh of relief and put in with their memoirs the fun and satisfaction of having presented a ; successful class play. A near-capacity crowd attended the play despite the bad weather, a total of approximately $190.00 being taken in from ticket sales. Again, many thanks of appreciation to the numerous persons who . helped make the play a success, and a special "Thank you” to our director, Mr. Philip Fawley. —Casey Powell Just a note to the basketball team. Good luck. boys. Lets really score the points and stack up the victories. And remember we’re all behind you. win or lose, and we hope it’s mostly win. . —The Senior Class “LIFE .ABOUT SCHOOL” I don’t know how many Syracuse students know it. but there’s a faculty member at SHS with loads of talent. The Chordettes happened to hear him singing “Sweet and Lovely” in the music room and I sure wish you could have been there to swoon right along with them. No doubt you’ll be surprised to find out who he is. He’s J. J. Hughes. Syracuse’s basketball coach. And guess what! He can play the piano, too. He modestly says he can’t play or read notes but he sure can “plink" 1 those keys. Do you know what I think? I think talent like his shouldn’t be wasted! Isn’t this some weather we’re having? It was amusing to me to notice the falling snow (Monday) covering up the soap - designed windows of various cars. My only comment—what happened to our Indian summer? —The Roving Reporter ' _ NOTICE At the regular bi-monthly meeti ing of the Syracuse Town Council ' held November 2. 1954, the follow - i ing resolution was dub’ passed and ’ adopted by said Town Council: BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED.

WHO’S WHO When I was returning from my vacation on a TWA airplane. I was met by a very pretty airline : stewardess with dark brown hair. : hazel eyes, and a very cute smile. ; She was a very vivacious little : thing of only 5’ 2”. I immediately recognized her as 1 one of my old classmates. We were i very surprised to see each other 1 since we hadn’t met since we part- 1 ed ways after graduation back in 1955. We then sat down and began to : reminisce and it seemed we had a million things to talk about. We ’ ordered dinner and as I fully expected. my friend ordered her fav- ( orite food, Italian spaghetti. We : began talking about our school days and she told me she always ] considered Psychology her favorite i subject, and Philip Fawley her favorite teacher. She also told me ] that her hobby was still collecting ; famous quotations and recording them in a book. (That’s interesting!) Perhaps by now I have given : you a clue and you have taken a guess as to whom I have been talking about. Yes. tha’s right, it is Kay Adams. Kay attended Goshen schools for 5 years and then came ; to Syracuse. i Kay lists her favorites as: song, •Take Me Back Again”; singers. Perry Como. Jo Stafford: orchestra. Jackie Gleason; actor. Marlon Brando: actress. Doris Day: Kay also likes to sleep, walk in the ’ rain, sing and play the piano, and ; dance with Purdue college men— i sounds exciting! But like everyone. < Kay has a pet peeve which hap- ! pens to be spoiled brats and catty people. I At the present time Kay is a 1 little undecided what she will do ! after graduation. She thinks she ] would like to become an airline stewardess chiefly because she < likes to travel. But whatever you I decide. Kay. the Senior class of i “55” wishes you the best of luck < ’and happiness, —Dixie Dorsey ; Junior News The main topic of conversation this week is basketball. Lots of luck, boys! Let’s really chalk up the points and victories this year. Suggestions for class parties are: roller skating, bam. and progressive. The Juniors hope to vote on a party this week. Congratulations Seniors for the fine play you put on Friday night. I'm sure it was enjoyed by all. —SuzAnne Brown Sophomore News During the business of a class ' meeting. October 27. the suggestion that the Sophomore class | have a roller skating party was re- s jected. The class will revote Wednesday. Norember 3. on several other ideas. —Terry McClintic , Tuesday. November 2. a bird cir- : cus called “Bertelle’s Birds” enter-1< tained the student body. There were almost 15 different kinds of birds shown, which performed” all different kinds of tricks. Have you • ever seen such intelligent birds, ; Ikids? Such tricks as flying through ! [a hoop of fire, riding trains, and balancing on a rolling ball were seen. Many beautiful birds were j shown plus a scarlet macaw of ( South America. This very beauti- ( ful bird could talk as plain as any- . one! Have you ever, heard of a j talking crow? Also, have you ever , heard of a swordswallowing bird? To everyone's amazement a bird j swallowed a sword the length of j his bodj r . J ( Everyone enjoyed the program • and sometimes it became quite , comical when an escaped bird would circle the gymnasium once j or twice. FIRST GRADE Mary Peters This is a busy month. November < 7-13 is Education Week. We hope J to have many parents from our room attend the program Tues- 1 day evening at the gym. We have Book Week November • 14-20.

With crayons he! drew a green and orange mask. Then the whole picture was • washed with black tempera paint, i All of us made interesting pictures j in a similar way.
