The Redwood gazette., 1936-10-15

combined the humorous with the
sublime. The opinion Of four
students was asked here are the
tabulations-one bright senior lad
replied enthusiastically, ut was a
very pleasant way to spend per-
iod. Two alumnae were also en-
thusiastic about the program. One
of the gracious guests replied
laughingly, "It's almost as good
as we have at Hamline". The 9TH
er said rather wistfully, "They al
ways get the best things after we
are gone". One bashful Junior
girl willingly admitted, "It was
rather maddening to think /
couldn't do the hand tricks !
can't even understand how he
could do them" A witty freshman
exclaimed earnestly, after looking
at a dry school book all morning,
"It was a pleasure to see someone
who could still manage to
stretch" grim.
Last years Junior class officers
acted as a committee to select four
graduation announcements out OF
several on display. At Senior
class meeting one of the four was
selected by the vote of the class.
The business end, ordering of an
nouncements and printing OF
cards will be handled by the
newspaper concerns, alternating
thus: the Gazette one year and the
Sun. the next. 1t was also ex-
planned at the meeting that the
purchase of class rings and an
nouncements was optional.
A special pep meeting preceding
the Redwood Hutchinson game
was held in the Lincoln Auditor
ium at $50, Friday. Mr.. Ober-
meyer gave each of the students
a gift of a score book, which was
enthusiastically received by the
sports fans. The students also re-
ceived printed copies of our school
songs and school yells. We hope
this will improve our cheering.
The initiating committee will
draw up plans for initiation in the
very near future. AS customary
only Sophomores will be initiated.
Those selected for the committee
are three seniors: Paul Asleson,
Mary Orth and Richard Whiting.
Two members of the Junior Class
will also be chosen. We are look
ing forward to initiation, with the
exception of the tortured Sopho-
mores.
Persons who wish to try out for
cheer leaders may do so by notify
ing their last years class presi-
dent. We hope to see many con-
teStantS.
A week or so ago, a remark was
made to this effect, "The football
boys made the new football field,
60 into training, 60 out and play
the game; and finally, to arouse
enthusiasm in our new field, get
out and cheer for themselves.
That's not the worst of it. The
football boys who take shop had
to make the yard line markers for
the football field. Eighteen dollars
worth of material was used from
the Material Supply budget,
which the boys usually use for
special projects. Several hours of
hard labor was devoted to making
these markers, and not one word
of appreciation was given for the
gift. Soon the football squad will
have to coach themselves.
A little joke on the shop boys.
The boys were making a sheet
metal Layout Table for laying out
patterns for sheet metal projects
and had to fasten three planks, by
means of a bolt, to the table. Eli
ther the boys like to drill holes
very much, or put in bolts. Any
way, they put nine bolts on one
end of a plank when three could
have done the job. A bit am
bilious, aren't they?
