Both teams were playing zone defense and held each other out on the floor. The Yellow Jackets shot 87 times and made 25% which is fair footing, while Ligonier shot 66 times and sank 21 for an average of 32%. Ligonier was leading 44 to 37 at the end of the third quarter, but Syracuse made a last minute effort and Finally caught up with them. Allen led the Ligonier scoring with 22 points while Ulrey contributed 17, and both of these boys played a beautiful game.

WHO'S WHO Does everyone remember when a certain 5’ sMi”W>londe. blue eyed girl enrolled at Syracuse High School when we seniors were freshmen? If not, see if you can guess who our mysterious classmate is this week. She was born October 1. 1937, at Goshen, Indiana where she attended school until she came to Syracuse as a freshman. Her favorite song is "Melody of Love” by Billy Vaughn. Her favorite singers are Sunny Gale and Frank Sinatra; her top movie stars seem to be Jeff Chandler and Doris Day. She likes Mrs. Vance. Sociology, the color blue, Italian spaghetti, I slumber parties, movies, and riding in a convertible on nice warm summer days. Her favorite pastime is swimming in Lake Ontario. (Sound exciting?) Maybe by this time you have guessed that Doris Jessup is the one who we have been talking about, and if so, I would like to confirm your answer. Doris' pet peeve is the very con troversive subject of not being able to use the south door of the school building in bad weather. Doris has not made many definite plans for the future, but she, does plan to go East again. Best of Luck. Doris. ■Dixie Dorsey “LIFE ABOUT SCHOOL” This week the Syracuse students are practicing the use of courtesy. On Friday the most courteous boy and girl of each class will be an-, nounced. In celebration of this week some senior speech class members gave a panel discussion on courtesy last Monday morning before the assembly. Friday morning the freshmen did their part by presenting several amusing skits in which they demonstrated ways to be courteous. The Bible Class have made posters on which are written various verses of the Bible pertaining to courtesy. Last Friday night the Yellowjackets played a wonderful game. The game was very close which is not unusual, since for the past couple of years the Syracuse-Lig-onier games have always been dose. Next week the Sectional Basketball Tourney will be held at Warsaw. Best of Luck. Yellowjackets! C’mon guys, we know you can go far in this tourney. Hear tell that the record. "John and Marpia.” (provided by Carroll Koble), was played at the Junior Ladies dance was really a riot! The Junior Ladies would like the American Legion to know how very much they appreciate their making it possible for the dance to be held In the Legion Hall. You’ll never know how much we teenagers appreciate a place where we can have fun and entertainment. Thought for the Week: “Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy.” » The Roving Reporter The spontaneous feeling of brotherhood is a mark of hnmon maturity. —Oveta Culp Hobby

n NEVE* HAVE TO RECORD ANOTHER WA* S IS MOTHERHOOD WEEK V February 20-27 Sponsored by Tha National Confwnc* of Cht sHant and Jaw* The Importance of Good Manners" Good manners are important because the}' are the factors that mold your relationships with others. They may be the things that decide which social class you are in. and certainly they stand for the way in which you have grown up. I think that almost all of a person’s character is made up of manners. Also, they certainly help when it comes to associating with members of the opposite sex. If your manners are not- polished it will be a great burden on your •elationship with that person. Good manners cannot be pick- »-■’ up over night; they must be ormed like habits. It is like brushing your teeth. When you first start you have to force yourself to do it. but after you do it for a while it becomes automatic. A good example of a habit is saying “Please” and "Thank you.” No doubt you start these habits when you are very young. If your house is like ours, mother just simply drills ft into us, and nowit just comes automatically. In summing this article up. I think we will just have to surmise that good manners can make a happy life, just as bad manners can spoil it. Courtesy Week Program This week is known as “Courtesy Week.” We all need to be courteous in obtaining happiness. A courteous person is more likely to get ahead in the world and obtain a better job than one who isn’t courteous and polite to his fellow man. Monday morning, February 14. the student body assembled in the study hall and Mr. Fawley introduced Charlotte Haffner. Tom Koble, Casey Powell. Lenora Reagan and Charles Haffner, who gave us some excellent pointers on courtesy. Charlotte, acting as chairman of the group, introduced Lenora, who discussed some general tips on Courtesy. Tom discussed the importance of courtesy on a date. Charles added a little humor to the subject of courtesy in the home. Last, but not least. Casey gave us some pointers on courtesy at school. Remember. Please, that courtesy should be with you whenever you are. Whether at home, on a date, in school, or any place, courtesy is very important. Dixie Dorsey As this week the Syracuse students are observing Courtesy Week, the News Staff takes pleasure in presenting a theme on manners written by a Junior English student, Jay Brower. We think he has some good ideas worth reading and practicing.
