BAND MARCHES The Syracuse High School band marched for the first time during basketball season for the North Webster game. The band began by playing "The Colonel Miners March” while the twirlers gave a demonstration. Next, Webster's school song, “Hail to the Varsity” was played while the band formed N. W. The Syracuse school song was next on the program with the letters S. H. S. being formed. Three circles were formed and while the band played Barnum Baily’s "Gpand Entry March.” the clowns gave everyone quite a time. The popular time "Man Upstairs” was played as the concluding number. Stairsteps were formed by the band and the twirlers “climbed" them. Even though the band enjoys putting on these marching programs they won't be able too march at their next home game, Tuesday, November 16. as incomes on school night. In other words since the band doesn't play they will be able to begin the basketball game that much sooner. Dixie Dorsey Freshman News One of our classmates. Jane Nusbaum. has been ill and taking hospital treatments. Wert a.! thinking of you. Jane, and we are hoping you will soon be back with us feeling fine age in. Algebra seems to be our pass word, with, rules, signs, numbers, an dmore rules. Were looking forward to our Thanksgiving vacation, because we think we deserve it. Judy Kline Five to four was the final score 1 and no it wasn't a baseball game.; it was a basketball game just last | week. Pleasant Mills defeated ; Berne by this score 5 to g. Altogether there was a total of 11 shots taken in this game. So if you went by the Pleasant Mills gym while this game was going on you probably heard a lot of snoring because this game would get kind of boring. But believe it or not Berne scored 86 points in the contest before this one. The last game would be what you would call “stalling”, no? JUNIOR LADIES MEET The Junior Ladies Sub-Deb Club met Monday evening, November 8. at Carol Weaver s home. Rosemary Losee acted as co-hostess. Refreshments of tuna fish salad, potato chips and cokes were served. Then the meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be December 6 at Lenora Reagan’s home. Meet at the drugstore if you do not have transportation. Also, be sure to bring your dues for the next meeting. Dues are fifty cents and must be paid by this next meeting. Eighth Grade News Monday. November 8. the eighth grade had a substitute General Science teacher. He is Rev. Noble Greene, of the First Methodist Church. He also substituted several times last year for our arithmetic class. I would like to say for the whole class, that we all appreciated him very much, even though we didn't get out of any work. Wednesday, the second period, the eighth grade had their yellleading try-outs. Those going out were: Karen Weaver. Barbara Bitner. Janet Riley and Jill Largen. They also selected their class colors, then. Results of the try-outs will be given next week. Sue Hendrich Student Congress Meets Six seniors. Joe Shewmon, Tom Koble, Charles Haffner, Jane Kroh. Barbara Thornburg, and Lenora Reagan, attended the Fourth Annual Kosciusko Student Congress at Warsaw. The Congressmen were sworn in by Judge Brubaker.

In afternoon session bills were brought before the Congress with only one compulsory education, until the age of eighteen or upon graduation from high school, being passed by a vote of 53-31. —Lenora Reagan Junior News It seems good to have basketball season roll around again. The class of “56" shows it too. because most of them we at both the Milford and the Webster games. - Boy. oh boy. will you dig those crazy mixed-up juniors?!’ Pink and black have been voted as class colors. You might see some evidence of "our" colors later on this year. I heard lots of groaning Monday morning because of the new time.

Senior News The Seniors met in a class meeting last Wednesday afternoon .with Tom Kobte, president, in eharwe • The main topic of discussion was concerned with selling consessions at the basketball games. Joe Shewmon and Lenora Reagon. co-chairmen of the Canteen, made out schedules informing the students who they would sell with. Kay Adams, secretary-treasurer of the class, gave a report on the financial success of the class play. “A Case of Springtime." The meeting then adjourned. j Casey Powell

“Life About School” What a wonderful game ours was last Friday night! The team was busily stacking up points and the Booster section never yelled louder, or so it seemed. I might add that the bend did a very nice job of marching. The skit which they presented, starring Ruthann Cory. Darlene Dust, and Nancy Baumgartner, was quite amusing. Friday, after the game, the Senior girls had a slumber party out at Barbara. Thornburg's in Rainey's Court. Like most slumber parties go, there was little sleep and lots of food. Casey Powell acted as "beautician for a night” and styled several girls' hair. Darlene Rogers is now sporting a becoming short hair-do. By the time the gay old hour of 4:30 a. m. came ’round only three girls were awake but I kind of suspect that they caught a few “winks” before the sun came up. A little black rubber spider seemed to travel around quite a bit that evening, first in some body’s bed and' later in someone's shoe. Though everyone was literally worn out after the all-night party I’m sure they all agree that it was a most enjoyable evening. The 'ole weatherman must have seen my sarcastic remark about Indian Summer in the paper last week. for the weather is beautiful and mild now (or anyway, at this writing it is). Hope it stays that way! Last Friday night was also the first time the Seniors were in charge of the concessions at ball games. It can be fun but it takes work and has one disadvantage. When a ballgame is going on, it never fails to come ‘.time for the Seniors to leave just in the most exciting part of the game! Don’t let any one tell you it isn’t fun to be a Senior though. We love it! Congradulations team, for the. wonderful game you played with North Webster! Let’s beat Pierceton the same way, huh? “The Roving Reporter”

Education My thought to you. Parents are the Childs first, last and most important teachers. The parent who teaches the child to walk. talk. play, and use his hands, is as much a teacher as we in the I class room, who teach the three R’s. The parents understand the I child; for you know his background, understand his emotional problems and physical limitation. Your chid sees life through you— i his parents. Interests, manners, i tastes. even likes and dislikes are; largely formed before the child' goes to school. Having given these consciously or unconciously to your chid, you should not except the school to carry on without cooperation from the home. Rember. your chid goes thru a series transformations. which grow out of old situations into: new. We. as teachers, can do no more than to direct the child's interests to subjects which develop | useful attitudes toward new I situations. with this we need cooperation. » I wish to thank the parents of my room for their splendid cooperation. Perhaps you woud like to know my creed—This I have adopted from Guest. "To live as gently as I can To be. no mother where, a woman ; To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor still; To do my best, and let that stand Therecord of my brain and hand; And then, should failure come to me. Still work and hope for victory.’’ Parents whenever visiting our room. please try to come of a morning. Thanks. Mary E. Peters Third Grade News Two students moved from our room this week. Frank Conner returned to Sulphur Springs. Florida. Tommy Clapp moved to Indianapolis. We shall miss both boys. We have just finished a several weeks study of various living customs of the Indians.
