Have you ever said to yourself wnile participating in an athletic prac t ice or game , "Why am. I pla11ing this sport?" If you haven't , try football practi ce around the last of August when the temperature is in the 90 's. You will then. Sercously,it is a good question to ask yourself. Host, at one t im.e or anothe; participate in som.e form. of athletics . Surel y there m.ust be a purpose . A basketball team. m.em.ber will tell you that the purpose . is to win . A weekend golfer will t ell you that it is just fo r the pleasure of pla11ing . An educator will tell 110u that the is to develop s por tsm.nnship, the ability to win or lose graciously. Actually the true value of s por ts lies in a combination of a ll of Usuall y , the chief reason for p laying is to win. don ' t agree; yet, exam.ine the dissenters You will probably find thev sav this because thev can 't win . not because they do n't want to wi n. A person hates to adm.i t that he is incapable of doing something; it is easier not to wan t to do it. Playing just fo r pleasure is wonderful, but if you could, you would win ever y tim.e . Fortunately for our character , we don ' t win every tim.e . Thus , we do or should develop a sense of sportsmanship. Yet the m.ost value of sports is the the challengeto control your m.i nd,mdconsequently your body , in competition with others . This is the m.ost difficult task we face . If you ll!ellt it successfully, you will have m.ade the m.ost important conquest of your life . But it isnot an easy job; it requires whole- hearted st riving and desire . This up a pr eat team.: m.en who can control them.selves and m.eet the challenge . The next tim.e you are participating in a sport , be satisfied with doing the best you can . Then, the true value of par ticipating in sports will be realized in

If he can, winter remains for six more veeks;if it is cloudy, or rainy, or snowy, or i f the groundhog can 1 t seem to find his shadow, spring begins. This year Bill Wright 1 s birthday was on February 2 just like it has been for the previous 17 years .

'FANS ARE FUNNY' Are you one of the lazy American fans who gets his enjoyment of sports by vatching others perform? Do you get a k1cii out of vatching football, basketball, golf, or tennis frOlll an easy cbair in i'roat of a television set? Do you follow your favorite high scbool team faithful.ly through its schedule? er are you a .fair weather fan who follows the team only as long as it wins?

Is the coacb a hero only as long as his team is on top; a tum when the team is down? Unfortunately, both teams cannot win and the American fan is pretty apt to pUt too much emphasi s on victory. Ax¥:1 the loss is alvays s0lllebody 1 s fault, be it the coacb, a player or two, or the officials . Ian •t it possible that sometillles we lose because the other team is better on that particular night than ours? Don •t misunderstand me. We all •.m.nt to work to win, and st-irit and determination can go a long way in llf'ting a team to great achievementa..

All day you have to stand in a corner or elsewhere just to have people thrOI'J things into you, to be pushed and kicl<ed around, and t o listen to those boring lectures hour after hour . In the course of the day, you receive many things. For instance, gossipr notes (which you like most of all), sticky gum (OHJ llhy won ' t they ever learn that you can't chew gum in school?), old tests and papers (which you just igllore), am many other uninteresting things. • Then you can hardly wait until that manent when you are emptied and everyone goes home, so that you can hold your nightly meet ing of the W.

"Shorthand" is a skill which aids the student, the secretary, the newspaper reporter, the court reporter, and many individuals including poets md presidente. The student who is planning his or her future should caretu.l.l,r consider "shorthand" as a personal aid and as a vocational aid. Those interested 1n business opportunities may well take note the fact that there is a trend requiring "shorthand" of all office employees. Wlzy-? Because the person who has "shorthand" usually shows more ability, he is better 'prepared to fit into the job opportunities that come up. Many great men have considered shorthand a valuable tool. Samuel Pepys wrote his famous diary in shorthand, George Bernard Shaw did all his composing in shorthand, President Woodrow Wilson drafted his state papers in shorthand, James F. Byrnes used his shorthand while he was Supreme Court Justice, Secretary o£ State a.nd Governor of South Carolina. Miss O'Haver Business Department

Only 69 more days, or 2,136 hours, or 128,16o minutes, or 7,689,6oo seconds until the bell rings 1n S"UIIIIIIer vacation. However, for the seniors, i t ia only 82 more days, or 1, 968 hours, or ll8,o80 minutes, or 7,o84,800 seconds until graduation. Time paasea quickly as spring approaches but will the snow? Remember there are only 68 more days tor it to melt until the biigest event of the year-the Jr.Sr. Prom. The question is: Will we be going by boat or sled? or will May 27 sefl the seniors graduating in boots and overcoats?

To almost eTeryme connected With basketball at Westside this year, the seasm was a total loss. It was even more f'ruatrating lthen one observed the team on nights lfhen the team played well enough to win many games . But was it a total loss? The main reasCY.l was the absence of wins. Very fell would concede that We3tside had one of the toughest schedules in the state. And to win on a schedule like that, one lone regular returned. To bolster the chsnces for the plunge into Intercity play, eight seniors were carried on the squad. They were tried ar.j apparently could not help to any great degree the depths to which t he team would fall. B!Jt after the season was history, these eight seniors litterall7 lambasted any competition stacked against them the underclassmen. The answer to the question in point has no apparent answer. Whether the seniors would have cane through or could have come through during the regular season will never be ailSllered, but they showed cohesive teamwork in every phase of tbe game during the post season tourney. •. •• Ron Petrie

In tact , one Warrior player??{Steve M.) who will be nameless for the moment, and who is scared to death of publicity , , was hoard t o remark--"Ub, I dunno". Anyhow, everybody out here tbitlks we will do superbly , especiall y some who have been with binoculat·s studing the field for possible star s. (This does not include finemen, who just do n?t make headlines. ) The r ooster looks real promising this year , the possible exception tho injury group, who haven't . able to "put" one over on the coach with much ease. In the boys l ook really good , and ought t o make a very good • showing in thei1· big sr>lash .

ALesson In Communist Tact ics This story is from Youth maga zine which received the story from Radio Free Europe. When Alexi Trifoloff returned after the war to Sofia, capital of Bulgaria ,with tbe"victorioua troops of the his faithfulness to the "Party enabLed him to climb to the rank of Major. One day he marched with his soldiers to tne summit or Witosch Inspired by the view of Sofia, he decided to deliver an impromptu lecture. "Comrade soldiers," he said, "do you see Sofia?" "We see it." "Do you see the mausoleum of the leader and teacher of the Bulgarian people?" "We do." "And do you see God, Comrade soldiers?" do not see him, Comrade Major . " then. This means,Comrades, that there is no God. What can be seen exists, what cannot be seen

Grapho-analysis or hand-writing analysis is rather new, is largely in its experimental stages, bas nothing to do with accultism , and requires a lot of study. It is not a science and is therefore open t o criticism. In the same way that two people can see something different in a simple ink blot test, so two different people cannot write the same regardless of their training. Grapho-analysis says that the difference is due to the personality which speaks through hand motions.

does not exist. Sofia and the mausoleum are there. You have not seen God; therefore he does not exist. Understand?" ''We understand Comrade Major." Private Stoil Bojimoff requested permission from the Major to say something. This is the right of everyone in ', state. Comrade Major granted him permission. Stoil Bojimoff stood at attention in front of the soldiers: "Comrade soldiers,do you see our Major, Comrade Alexi Trifoloff?" ''We see him." "Do you see his boots, and his sword strap?" ''We do . " "Do you see his mind?" "No, we do not see it." "So it is, Comrade soldiers, as Comrade Major has told us: What one can see exists, what one cannot see does not exist." understand, Comrade." Reprinted with permission from Youth magazine, September 13, 1959.

There are at least fifty personality traits that can be detected from handwriting. They can be detected by the slant you use or its degree. the size of the handwriting, and the sixteen different kinds o f the letter T. In addition, the degree o f looping the letters above or below the line and the final strokes all have their indications. Frankness is determined by open a's and o 1 s while irratability is arrived at by sharp or jagged dots. Some of the traits of personality arrived at by grapho-analysis are optimism, sarcasm, procrastination, idealism, concentration, analytical and literary capacity, diplomacy, determination, generosity, moods, and independence. A course in the subject costs $220 and covers twenty months of study. No amateur should expect to be accurate. Even the experts are about 96 per cent reliable. European high schools are teaching it as well as several U.S. colleges. The F. B.I. as well as industry are beginning to rely upon it. It is new and will require time to prove itself. Personally, I think there is something to it. Paul C. Andreas History Department

Joe Escoffier Writes WHS Students

'!'be are exerpts from a letter received from Joe Escoffier, Westside ' s exchange student from France last year.

Before I came to America, it was for me a strange and far away land; a land mostly characterized by its huge dimensions; a land characterized by its great technical discoveries, and I thought that in a way the American people were greatly influenced by all those materialist realizations. I had the idea, and I was not the only one, that the United States a world of r iches, comfort, and pleasure, everybody was making a lot of money and that was all. It did not take me very long t o realize that I was as wrong ascould be, because in a I discovered one of the most wonderful nations in the world. A nation where every foreigner is welcomed as i f he was a very special guest; a nation where smiling is as natural as breathing, and where "be nice" means "just be yourself." I saw that the American people were as human as any people in the world and maybe more so. Americans want to live in peace and peacefully with every country , and they do everything for it. They realize that they lead the free and so that they have to do more about the peace problem then any other country. I love the United States, and I love its people, and I will never stop doing so. But this is not enough. My work here is to tell the French people uhat the United States is really like, and it is not an easy job. French people are a little stubborn. But they are not partial, and they are all ready to admit something that they have seen proved. I am telling them how you, Hansen, and all your staff and all the student body have been nice to me--how you made me f eel at home all at once, and how much you helped me to understand Americans. I will always have a special and dear thought for Hestside. I only wish I could come back again to see once more the place where I spent the most wonderful year of my youth.

letters To The Ed ito Dear Editor, I don't see why we have to s scribe to THE LANCE. I'm sure as many people will buy the pa this year becuase of this. I do realize that it is a idea, since it is hard to est' how many papers to fool with change. But, I do t they should at least print e copies for the people without s scriptions. Another thing I don't unders is: why do they have parking st· ers ? They don't tell us what t are for or why we should pay just to park in that muddy park lot.

In two short years, Mr. Silhouette has become a big part of Westside. He transfered here from Beleville, Illinois. He is also outstanding in the field of music. His tenor voice adds much to top choir and madrigal. In his junior year he had the male lead in the first musical, "Good News". That year too, he was elected to National Honor Society. He hopes to spend at least one year at Massachusettes Institute of Technology in his study to become an aeronautical engineer.

Hhen you hear the lilting music of the Warrior band ' s first clarinet, Hiss Silhouette is close at hand. She sang in Top Choir her sophomore year, sings in her church choir and plays the piano. However, her music does not occupy all her tioe. This blonde ' s name is on the ro l ls of National Honor Society and National Forensic League. She is active in Pep Club, Y- Teens, and International Club. Two of her jobs ore secretary of Thespians and rewrite editor of the LANCE. Last year she was an alternate to Girls' State, and this year she is a National Herit Semi-Finalist.

"They went thata way . .. ' ' The new season of television spectaculars is just beginning. We are all looking forward to another year ot superb entertainment. From the listings in current magazines, we are told that the programs will range from"Gene Autry"to"Maverick" , and from "!lave Gun, Will Travel" to "Restless Gun". Brilliant character portrayals will be seen as millions of dollars have been spent on the sets for Dodge, Tombstone, and Carson City. The outstanding script writters in the business have outdone themselves in developing plots which are thrilling, intriguing, and true to the early Western days. We are lead to believe that the programs , while truly western, will

be still authentic. At least we know the paint sprayed on the "Indians" will be red. Said little Johnny, "My uncle plays Injun on eleven T. V. shows". The Indian charge on "Chochesse", shown one-half hour later on Train", is still terrifying when seen on the late show "Apache " On Saturday afternoon one sees a six chambered revolver fired seven times; you can decide whether to shoot the villian in a face to face duel or when he has his back turned. But regardless of the plot, the villian pays, law is restored, and the hero gets the girl . by Diane Donaldson

Work is progressing rapidly on "The Dungeon1" the nev student lounge, which will be in Room 1.241 according to Terry Stinson, Student Council president . During Christmas vacation bers of the Student Council and two custodians helped to lay tile and paint the valls. The laying of t he Warrior vhich is to be a part of the tiled portion of the floor, has been postponed until later in the year because of the cost. The lounge should open in about weeks, depending upon when the Art Club finishes the mural . Plans are also being made to have plyvood emblems on tl.e valls of all t he clubs t.hat eonate furniture . Those vho wish to do so should start raisint money nov so t.he furniture can be bought soon, The finishing touches in the lounge will be continued t.Lroughou"t the end of the school year. The Key Club has challenged the Hi- Y to a basketball game. The proceedes will go for t he Studen't Lounge . "The Key Club is going to winl " says Terry but Frank of the Hi-Y voiced an opposing opinion.

Something or other is always the ra qe in America, land of fads and fancies . One day it may be hiqh-button shoes, another time goldfish-swallowing, still another time will see miniature foreign cars or Elvis enthroned. When Grandpa went courting,he had a fancy up- to-date horse and buggy; now, transportation is provided a souped-up jalopy . Remember the good ole days when penny loafers were just the thing? Then came saddle oxfords, forerunners of the not too ancient "buckle in the backs" . Further back in yesterdav we had the da ys of faddish hair styles . Ducktails were common among all chic girls, while boys friqhUmed friend and foe with the "Davy Crocket" hair cut. More recently, we have seen spit (?)curls into Bleached hair,Prench rolls, and false pony tails also have shared the spotlight . Necessity of the moment is the credit card. The r e are cards for restaurant meals , cards for travel , for phone calls or gasoline, cards that cost so much a year, and cards that cost nothing . What does the faddish future of the ' 60 dec 'lde hold? Well, just for fu.n let's picture the tvpical space-age qirl . She definitelv wouldn 't be flighty without that moon-tyoe now wo uld she?

Miss Fisher Most of us have heard the word •conscience," all of us have used t t.e word, and some far greater than ve tave attempted to define the vord. Socrates spoke o!' an "inner spirit" which vas his guide; a more recent user of the word defined it as "a walkie-talkie set through which ve talk to ourselves . " How-

ever, without attempting to advise or philosophize (Socrates was made to drink poison, you knov), I would like to pass along a definition of "conscience" vb.ieh came to me in the natural process of growing up. 1-U mother said to me one dtliY after I had received an especially hard spanking, "Don't you knov that vhat you did vas vrongJ Why can 't you let your conscience be your guide?" The questioning stage through which I vas passing at the time prompted me to ask, "What's conscience?" She answered: "Your conscience is a box vith hard, sharp corners. If you do vrong, the box vill lose its balance and topple so that the corners vill jab. When the wrong has been corrected, the box vill return to its original position; but if the box bas to topple and jab too frequently, soon its corner£ vill be:c:ne rounded and your guide for distinguishing between right and wrong vill be lost to you."

The Ameri(on Phenomenon- APep Rally!

Dear Papa, Today I do not want to tell you how happ,y I am about the constant mildness of Nebrask.a weather, or hov I feel about the dating custom of American teens, instead I am going to reveal you something nev and sensational that you vill certainly enjoy hearing. You are a "relatively11 mature man, father, you knov the vorld and life, still there is one thing vhich you missed in your existence, one thing that your son has the fortune and the pleasure to know, and wants to tell it to you nov. Tlo you recall those :qsterious dances of 2Ululand ve enjoyed so many times in the movies vhen I vas a vild son of nature? And the overflowing enthusiasm of the specta.tors during a winning soccer match? Well, take a "ring", put the tvo memories together, tt.en add a great deal imagination, and you will have at least a pale idea of one of the most fascinating events in the life an American school: Pep Rally. en one side o!' the ring are seated the Reds, the fanatic, the females; on the other side the moderate, the males. In front, on the stage, a good number of selected players make the atmosphere with their musical virtuosities: the tunes are never the same and they include every kind of music, from the symphony to the accompaniment piece of modern noise . But the real animators of the show are the dancera, so f'ull of vitality and excitement: tl.e principal job is up

\r.

to them as they make their comrades yell and shout, cry and burst v1 th joy. In their colorful costumes, vi th those huge "'i·fl s" on their breasts, and those gorgeous pompoms on their hands, these lovely creatures of are really alectrifying. They dance the most various dances, from t he fbck- andRoll to the Charleston, from the cha.-cha.-cLa to the French can-can, and always they move vi th the same perfect harmony, tl.e same insuperable e!'fervescence . And vhen they strilre the "iallllle, ianme" Jeez T don't tell you: it is a real pandamonium. All the boys are enraptured by their spiritual grace, and thrill and throb and want to rise and fight against the of the Warriors, and vin him, destroy him, disintegrate him. The players are bold and grace, their voice is loud, their strength terrific: they are the "al.mighty Warriors" . All this uproarious program lasts but a fev minutes, a fev minutes of undescribable enthusiasm which, kidding apart, can never be !'orgotten by anyone, above all by a passive, sophisticated, European. Those rev minutes represent a spirit of obligation, of faith, of hope, of promise, of all those gi!'ts upon which is to be based our tomorrows. They are a moment oi' oblivion and ardor, of vim and exaltation, a beautiful smile in the shining face of \.festside, they are tvo words: PEP ?JlLY! •••• • F1.avio Sarni

'lOuld knov about it, sl e would be queen for a longer time,and certain decorations could be made . \fuat can be done about these p:evailing methods? The road to answer is a simple one . For eA"ru:lf1le, the queen could be chosen in class meetings, each class electing one or t.wo girls to represent it in a i'inal e+ection held during an assembly. hnOther way to do it is to let the team which nominates the candidates go ahead and choose t.he queen .

Warriors

Reserves

S hint

Westside ' s Reserves have furnished some good basketball for ttose early- comers on Friday and Saturday nights . The Reserves had a victory snatched from them by Columbus in the llaning moments of the first game. They then followed vith upsets over Lincoln High and Abraham Lincoln. a 2-0 Intercity record took on an attitude of complacency and lias set back on its heels by Central and Lincoln on successive nigbts. Leading 21- ll, early in the game Westside became cold and let viotory slide away, scoring but one goal the second half'. Holding a 2- 1 Intercity record the Junior Warriors still retain a chance to capture the S-team title. A reminder : This year ' s reserves are next year •a varsity. They enjoy t he thrill of before a crolld as much as the varsity, Aft er they practice all lleek they like to have someone see the finished product. They ll&nt to vin as much as anyone else and your support will be a big factor. It ian •t too early to come at 6 :15, so let's all support the Reserves. • • • • •• • Felix l-i!yer

Noll that the 'r larriors Mve found that they can play ball and llell, the problem seems to be doing it in the second half. Last veeks 1 games proved one thing, the team is going to have to rid itself of its mantal shackles toward the end of tte • game . There should be no reason llby we couldn't break a game open after the half as did Central and Northeast. Team spirit l.as never risen faster than it Las these last weeks, and the same is true of sctool spirit. If that little spark can be found to send tee boys to greater heights, t he rest of tl1e year sl:ould be a lot more pleas:lng to t he people WI•O have faith in tl:e team. • • •• ••• ; :i.ke 1·.oran

A.lmost, but not qui,.e, seems to be the word as tt.e Warriors fell prey to a couple of the toughest teams in tl:.e state last weekend. Westside followers of the roundball game as llell as Central's fans and team seemed surprised as the Warriors threatened the Eagles for three quarters. The Warriors played by far the best of their season, with some outstanding ball-handline by Chuck MUmma, Jerry SWitzer, and Bob Kvaal. The Eagles, led by All-City, All Stater, Johnny Nared, finally managed to pull alley from the Warriors during the fourth quarter; but not without a fight as the llarriors went down 5\dnging to the tune of 39 to 53. Saturday night, the COl:lpE!titiDn llasn 1 t as dazzling, and unfortunately, neiuner were the Warriors. The beys had a good first half, and only trailed by one point, were far from out of the game, but trouble at t he free throll line tad a lot to do with the outcome of the .game, The Rockets overpowered 53 to 40.

Currently ohangea in politics and eo developlllenta,our nation can not ford to t ake t his attitude and peot to sunive. In short, i t is to keep ita freedom way- of' -lite, we must not only e o ete ourselves for materialistic vanoell8nt, but we mus t prepare selTes to utilize our talents the protection and betterment our nrtion . In the final analysis, our t ion will only be as strong aa principles that bind us i nto a nation.

SEMESTER BLUES SPIRITS SPEED I LY

.. vu •• .,

First semester has come and gone, now I'm faced with the realizathat the second is inevitable. a terrific chance to start out right. At least I don't have to face 1 new teachers again and be exted to get everything straight first day. So what if my ics teacher has never quite iven me for saying I thought it a course on medicines; I can ighten things out this term by to the library for my bookcourse! And think how happy the librariis going to be when I turn in copy of Understanding Chinese in Two Easy that I out last September. No I've been so confused in leterature, I thought was a part of San Francisco. thing I do know though, is I'm quitting Phys Ed. I'm sick tired of wearing those blue suits--they're awfully uncomle, and the rest of the guys making fun of me at basketball tice. Of course that that I ld take another subject, but I 't know what. I suppose I could Rushin' History, but I don't a thing about sororities or rnities. My mother would like to take Far East, but I've even been to New York, and I 't want to take Modern Problems, I'm not going to have -so I really don't know to take!

at NeTer, Dever berora in my c arear aa cupid have I seen sl.llh a hope leu group aa the st\¥lents of Westside High School. Hot only are they hopeless, they're radicals. Let m tell you I man. I arrived at the glorious Westside Wonderland before Valentine's Day and began to search for air;na ot budding romances. To my delight I notice d several ooaples (if you can stroll in five minutes) dOIIfn the halls . I pio ked out one enchanted couple and foll01tad them until the girl took leave of her compmion. I .,as just dying to hear what romantic words she 11fOuld say about him to her friends. How ever , I wu appalled when the declared that she had just rid herself of " the leach" and that she would have to hurry after this c lA.Ss if she 11fanted to miss "the clod" HOifever, I still retained a high degree of optimism towards Wastside, in spite of this, atrocity, because after all there s bound to be "one in every cra.d". With this comforting thought in mind, I proceeded on my quest for signs of romanoe. While searching I noticed several girls 11fho were .carrying torches for certain guys. Being good natured, I resolved to aid one of these maidens in diatreu. Finding her ideal, I aimed my trusty bOlt and shot love straight into h.is heart . He grabbed his cha·st with such suddeneas that I knn I had succeeded. Aa he opened his mouth to apeak, I sst breathless 11faiting to hear the "aweetnothings" pour forth. I cannot describe my feelings when he said that he must heve heartburn and somethine: ebout school I can only tell you that I was on the of falling on my aamuvai sword, when at last I a11w what I had been seeking---two girls drsased in red(traditional color of Valentines) passing out pieces of paper . Here, I thought, is a true reflection of Valentina ' s Day. These lovely cherubs were giving out little IIBBSages to their friends. I realhad it wu quite unethioal,but I peeked over a boy' s shoulder to get a of the romantic mssage. It reed "Go For Broke!" This 11fas the and! Not only did these students ignore my to spark love, but they

were eocually working against me. Imagine passing out messages that suggest you brealc somsone 's heart . I couldn ' t avoid reality. I lcnew my cause was lost and thus d01tn-trodden I began to taka my le evs. In departing I paaaed a room from which a 111ting dirge poured forth. From our.iosity I glanoad in and there, standing in the middle of the room, was a beSW.ng man and as I Hatened to the lyrics of the song, I realized they were signing congratulations. Could it be? Could there still be hope? Yea! It was true; A his tory teacher had seen the light.lly he.ppinass kne11f no bounds, .l once mora wn right . There is one in every or01td. Cupid

What does a girl do in her spare time? Ordinarily you might find her baby sitting with little brother or typing up book reports for Mr. Winchell. But if it is only a week until the Sweetheart Dance and she doesn't have a date, you may find her in a different situation. She may have retreated to a corner (near a phone)to sit staring blankly into space. She will do her homework (near a phone), she will eat her dinner (near a phone), and she will roll her hair (near a phone). She awaits with great anticipation, but when the phone does rinr; she is startled. Her first instinct is to pick it up i111111tdiately,but she restrains herself to let it ring one complete time. She feels like shouting, but she calmly says "Hello." Expecting a perfect masculine voice, she is disappointed to find out it is only Aunt Marge, who wishes to inform the family that Gertrude (her cocker spaniel) has a case of Asian flu. After several more similar disappointments, the phone rings agaiD The unsuspecting (?) girl fidgets with her hair and then picks up the receiver. Oh boy! It's a BOY. And it's not little brother. He asks her if she would like to go to the dance. She cautiously asks when it is (as if she didn't know) and then she has the audacity to say me think if I have anything else planned for that evening"(she jumps in the air three tilll!la , turna two somersaults) and then says 1 think I can make it a date." After a brief chat they hang up. Then she promptly starts planning 11fhat to wear. Her dream has come true and prince charming has rescued this fair maiden from grief. come on boys, why don ' t you all be some girls prince charming for the SWEETHEART DANCE FEBRUARY 20? by l.aren Hess

Longer School Year In sight A ten-month school year for atudenta and ll months for teachers is a dream set b;y District 66 to be accomplished b;y 1970. This was made public by Superintendent Vaughn Phelpa during a discussion or the impact of this year\! weather on schools. District 66 shut down on Januar.y 15 and 18 and March 18 because of the snow. This year was planned with 179 teaching days . The state seta a minimum of 175 days so it appears no make-up days will be required. I f action for 179 days had not been taken last summer, no doubt make-up days would be needed. Previously the school year was 176 days • The extra three days were taken from Christmas and spring vacations . It is hoped that the school year can be gradually lengthened until students spend most of the year in cl111ssrooms.

My Typical Day I am red and black with the name of a school or on me. I think I was sold by the Radio Clubor was it the Y- Teens? Well, it really doesn ' t matter. The point is I was sold. I really expected to find myself in sanebody's scrapbook . Was I ever surprised when I as sharpened to a beauti tul point by my first owner-a junior girl! I thought I would be forced to live the rest of my life in her purse . \'thy just the other day I was told my cousin lived behind the ear of a teacher! The firs t hour of the day I helped my owner do some "busy work" so she wouldn't flunk her anerican History. The next period I was c alled upon to make out an absentee list tar the under water basket weaving class. In another class my owner loaned me to a big handsome boy. I as used to diagram sentences and tell whether verbs are transitive or intransitive. A loud bell rang and I ns put back into the purse very hurriedly. There I found out from a leaky green ballpoint that it was now time for history. )(y rest 118S all too short, for I was being pulled out of the purse to take notes about the "Era of Good Stealing. " I was laid down when the instructor said, "let ' s go to chowl" Rer next class found me taking notes about a stupid hamlet calleri

Pretty stupid i an •t "Yourtown." it? I think I heard someone call the class journalism, but I wasn ' t sure. That nerve racking bell went off again 3lld I found myself being waved around. I think my owner was trying to make sane point clear to one or her .t'riende. 'r rode in IllY owner ' a purse for the longest time until I was . finally pulled out in a class a lot of ouestions were being asked . I didn ' t understand these questions and the way 11\Y owner chewed on me I don't think she understood the questions either. Finally the end of the school day came and back into the purse I lfent. owner promised to meet her friends at the drugstore after school. .All went well until she pulled me out and started writing a note . ThM the horrible thing happened, she forgot to put me back into her purse . She left me there on the counter. I guess she just didn ' t hear me calling to her. After quite awhile a big husky boy picked me up and right now I 'm perched behind his ear. I can ' t help but wonder what kind ot life I will Jead with my new owner! I am a pencil. Lowly state isn ' t? l.!aybe, but we pencils do lead interesting lives, especially i f we are bought by the right people.
