Brook Park High Life
Annual Athletic Banquet Held.

Annual Athletic Banquet Held.
In a colorful cowboy setting OF
horses, sombreros, whips and stream
ers in the red and white of Brook
Park, the entire high school, seventh
and eighth grades and faculty men,
bers gathered at the town hall Sat-
urday evening for the annual athle-
tic association banquet.
The menu sounded like pages torn
from a cowboys dictionary, "cow-
boys CATCH" "joint lubricant" ere
mains of the last stirrup," ''lariat
snaps" roundup guzzle,"-all of
which turned out to be a dinner that
was delicious from the pineapple
cocktail to the homemade ice cream
and coffee. The meal was prepared
by Mrs. Hall and several assistants
and was served by seven girls and
seven boys from the seventh and
eighth grades.
Pep was supplied during the dinner
by catchy banquet songs and then
with Mr. Nuetzman acting as toast
master the following program was

will be able to return to school soon

well after her operation.
Lorraine Hancock brought a CO.

The bouquets of flowers brought
in by several pupils are evidence
that spring is really here.
In a review test of 100 spelling
words in the sixth grade, Marcella
Syzmonik had a perfect score and
Agnes Runa missed only one.
The sixth graders worked out some
| interesting things in reading last
week. They wrote conversation for
the meeting between Generals Lee
and Grant to arrange terms of sur
render, and then dramatized it. Mar
celia Szymonik took the part of Grant
and Leroy Swedlund represented Lee
They also studied advertising secrets,
collected excellent advertisements and
wrote and illustrated their own, rep
resenting themselves as firm hav-
ing some article for sale.
