WOES OF A JOURNALIST

It IS fifteen minutes to four,
I'm sitting here pen in my hand,
looking, searching and racking
my brain for a topic for a fea-
ture story that will make the
readers of our school paper split
their sides with laughter, hold
their breath in suspense and cry
their eyes out with sympathy,
but to your good fortune and
my dismay my mind is a blank.
It is fourteen minutes later. !
am a wreck. I've racked my
brain until I have none left. !
am exhausted. What will Miss
Alexander do? This should be in
at four. Alas, the bell! Now for
some good old football.

FOR SoPHOMORES ONLY

You know, I suddenly realized
the other day that you sopho-
mores have been very sadly neg
lected. What! You hadn't MOTTO
ed it? Why, because no one has
bit of advice about what is ex-
pected of full-fledged upper
classmen!
Now, I know, of course, that
I really don't need to tell you
that your freshman bewilder-
ment at everything in general
and your giggles which came so
frequently that even you some
times didn't know what you
were laughing at are all de-
finitely a thing of the past.
Since you have entered our
highest institution of learning,
the Senior High school, you have
probably already begun to feel
the grave responsibilities that
have come to rest upon your
nce-young-and-carefree shoul-
ders.
At all times, you should pat
tern yourselves after the we'll
hammered actions of your fellow
upperclaSSmen, the Seniors and
Juniors, because only through
constant training and diligent
practice, have they mastered the
art of true scholastic merit and
good behavior. Notice the peace
full serenity that prevails wher-
ever either of these classes are
represented, whether it be
classroom, assembly, or study
hall, and see how each of those
bright and eager young faces is
bent on only one purpose--to
learn and absorb every bit OF
knowledge possible.
Their instructors have only
the highest praise for all OF
their work and they deeply
appreciate the Juniors and Sem
iors' attitude toward any as
signment, long or short, that
may be given them and it is
the sincere wish Of the faculty
members that you will follow in
their well-chosen footsteps.
I hope, my young friends, that
these few words of advice will
become lastingly imprinted on
your minds, and that, if you are
ever in need of help or wise
counsel in any and all matters,
You will feel free to consult
your friends and conscientious
advisors, the Seniors and Jun
iorS.

WAR I'M THE OOL

Many boys are living up to the
old song johnnie Get Your

homes to fight for uS--students,
parents, and teachers. The peo-
pie at home must live up to
their part of the bargain by
finishing what they once start.
One of the many ways we STU

much education as we can so
that we may take over the job
of making the world a better

Tuesday, September 81, when he
defeated his opponent, Yugo

Vice-President and Madylene

The election was originally
held on Friday, September II,

need tn students in school to
fight--not until all the men
available are taken. We need
those students in school so that
they can write the peace with
understanding enough to write
one for the good of all. There
will be a world after this war
but in order to make it a better
world it will take educated
people who know what is right,
what they want, and how to
get these things. Our job is in

See It

Well, a month of the school
year is behind US, and things
really are beginning to happen.
It looks to me as if we are going
to have one full year which will
require US really to apply our
selves to the work that lies
ahead of US.
Some of us felt out of place
at first-so many new teachers
on the faculty--but now that
we have met them all, they
seem like old friends.
We seem to have acquired a
few new friends this year. We
do hope they like US, as we're
sure we'll like them.
We've noticed that the love
bug has gotten loose again, in
fact it seems to have been very
busy. But also, the war is be-
ginning to show its effects on

I suppose you all noticed

blind. Remember when he said
that he could do some things
that normal people couldn't, for
instance, he could change a tire

AIDS" TRANSLATED

The Spanish Students, who
have been laboring over adver-
tisementS written in Spanish
during their study hours have
sometimes been surprised to
find that after much concentra-
ton they had just translated an
ad for Kleenex or some other
common article.
Miss Holtom, the new lang
uage teacher, states that this
sort of reading helps Spanish
students to read practical Span
ish conversation as well as plain
vocabulary from the book.

JOURNALISTS RATED

At the beginning of the first
semester, self-personality ra-
tings were made by the Journal
ism class. These ratings were
made on fourteen traits OF a
good journalist, such as speed,
accuracy and dependability.
Throughout the coming six
weeks the class will refer to the
list and at the end of the
semester they will prepare new
ratings which will be compared
with the originals. The instruc-
tor will also give ratings. BY
these charts individuals will es-
innate their own progress.

CLASSES ARE BUSY
DRAFTING CLASS LETTERS

The drafting class has finish
ed lettering practice, which con-
sisted of slant Gothic lettering
and vertical Roman lettering,
and is now drawing full scale
plans of micrometers. Microme-
tiers are precision instruments
which can measure to within
0.0001 of an inch. The work
must be done carefully because
of the necessity of accuracy and
neat lettering. These drawings
are made because they aid the
students in learning to read a
micrometer.

wife = dead in the other war. His
son - killed on the Maginot Line.
There had been the soil. But it did
not matter now. either. 1t was
enemy soil, giving up its fruit and
grain to the mouths of the invader.

But first" - he paused as if to
give emphasis to his words -
first, you will harvest your grain.
You will harvest your grain if it

"Oui, M'sieu. understand.
Did they think thus to punish
him? Had he but one wish left,
it would be to walk through his
own fields once more.
"You will proceed at once" The
lieutenant's voice coldly dismissed
him.
Slowly he walked down the quiet
street, past the town hall, past
the inn and the school and the
little knots of villagers, most of
them afraid now to notice him.
When he climbed the knoll out
side the village, he could look down
on the town, spread out like ham,
let of toys below him.
lHE Boche were clever this time.
In the other war they had camped
openly in the town, their trucks
and men coming and going in plain
view. This time was different; their
camoufage was perfect. None
would suspect that under the
woods that spread between his
field and the village lay an air

lines. From a height it must be
completely invisible.
He had always hoped that some
day the British would find it. He
looked at the grain, heavy and
golden and warm at his feet,
stretching before him to the edge
of the woods where the drome
was hidden. HIS grain! No, not
his, but theirs.
He looked at the sky. In an hour

dots in the vast, empty blue.
First there would be the recon-
naissance, flying very high and
fast, since there was nothing below
here to interest them. Then, an
hour or so later, the bombers would
come. heading for the targets that
the other planes had spotted.
They came over every evening

he had hoped. If only somehow -
He bent to his task. The scythe
whispered family in the falling
grain. An hour passed; then an
other. He had cut down to the
edge of the field and back again,
wide, sweeping swathes.
WHEN the first plane came over,
he stood in the field and watched,
his lips moving silently. Too high,
he thought, far too high. He
watched it, arrowing straight for
the horizon. 1t was the same with
the two that followed. The hours
slipped toward dusk. Soon now,
the sun would be down.
When the bombers came, he was
sure that they, too, were too high.
He stood at the edge OF the field,
praying quietly. His heart thud-
ded family under the weather
beaten smock. They are going over,
he thought, as they always have.
Then abruptly the leader of the
squadron turned, sweeping back
in wide circle.
The scream of their bombs was
like the end of the world. Tongues
of fame flowered hideously from
the airdrome. Smoke rolled across
the fields in dark. poisonous clouds.
1t was all over in five minutes.
But before they flew off, the leader
zoomed low over the old mans
field, dipping his wing in grave
salute.
He watched them until they
were out of sight. Then he bent
to his task.
By the time the moon came up,
flooding the valley with silver.

of the pattern that the old man
had cut - gigantic arrow. point

hidden drome.
