were Blaney Lee, Howard Taley'
and Atwood Warren. Honorable
mention went to Malcolm Crawford.
There were only three junior-senior
boys entering, all of these beiinF
seniors, so they viii have no pre-
lirninary contests. All Of their de-
claiming will be done on Friday
night and the final winner will be
chosen then.
In the upperclassrnen semi
finals the junior girls outnumber-
ed the senior girls two to one, and
made the best showing in those
to 80 to the finals. Sara X. Jordan,
Barbara Canady, and yours truly
were victorious and have to live
through the rest Of the week until
that awful day comes-Friday, the
day Of the FINALS! Be sure to come
up to the school at 8 o'clock and
hear the winners.
The Wildcats won their con-
ISOLATION game with Greensboro as
everybody already knows. 1t just
goes to show you that our fellas
won't be downed. They always
make a good comeback, and we're
really very proud Of them and the
good work they've done this season.
sneaked in on a rehearsal for
the junior play. Sixteen" the
other afternoon and from what I
saw, it really is going to be one
of the hits Of the year. Sara K.
Jordan is perfectly cast as the
typical teen-ager who speaks in the
language Of all Of us hepsters to-
day. And Frank Bradley is a
scream as Sara KS ardent ad-
mirer and professional consultant
of DR.. Goodrich. Miss Russ and
Miss Adkins have done swell so
far and I know that anything they
undertake will be huge success.
Had you noticed that we are with.
out a principal at school? Maybe
I shouldn't say this cause then
you'll think there's no one to watch
you and slow you down at lunch
so you have to be the last one in
line. But Mr.. Hamilton has gone
to Tennessee and Arkansas for a
while and we at MINIS are alone.
See, most Of us didn't even know
he had gone, and just look how
good we've been! I haven't seen
any Of those water,squirters in
the halls in long time. Maybe
it's because the teachers bulle-
tins every morning read, "Take
all water-shooters away from STU
dents and render any punishment
you deem necessary" huff said!
The Hi-Y Minstrel is progress
ing rapidly under the direction OF
Mr.. Earl Brown and sho' is going
to be good. But it's too bad the
upperclassmen don't want to be in
it since it's their last year to parti-
cipate in Hi-Y activities. It's still
not too late to try out for part.
So come on you juniors and seniors
and show Mr.. Caudill that we really
do care about being in it and that
we want to make it even better
than those Of previous years.
It seems as if Maco has come
back into prominence. Not that I
know cause I've been there, but
from what I've heard other people
say. A little bird told me that
boy whose last name is Goldstein
was running the headless brake
man stiff competition this past
weekend by taking a cigarette
lighter and wandering ainlessly
down the tracks as If he were the
famous light. And someone kept
throwing rocks at him from the
woods near the tracks, and one
time they even scared him so bad,
he threw away the lighter and ran
for his life. Could 1t have been the
headless brakeman's publicity
agent? Anyway, I have seen the
light and it certainly is mystery
to me. Lots of "geniuses" still con-
tend that it's headlights, but I've
seen some of these people who hold
this theory freeze on the spot when
they see its mysterious light swing
ing down the track toward them.
Why don't you 60 out and see it
for yourself? It really is some
thing!
There just doesn't seem to be
much to say during the middle of
the week-nobody new home and
nothing special happening, so I
guess that makes me out Of news
for the present. But I promise to
do better this weekend and have
more to tell. Be good, have fun,
and do lots Of things besides study
ing! So long!
