Students Score
On Honor Roll
More Than Diploma Needed—
/COLLEGE or a career—This is a question that always seems
^ to be utmost in the minds of senior students as they
enter the last semester of their last year of highsehool educa-
tion. Those who answer this question by deciding on a career
as soon as they receive their highsehool diploma may have
a tendency to neglect their school work, trying only hard
enough to pass so they can receive 1 heir diploma.
What the student may not realize is that the diploma may
help get the job. but the promotions and keeping the job will
depend on how much ho learned while securing the diploma.
Those who are looking for a better future and choose college
as an answer must remember the more they learn in high-
school the easier their college courses will be
All under classmen, who haven’t already started to think
about the future, should begin now by trying to get the most
out of the rest of their highsehool education so that upon
graduation whether he chooses college or a career his edu-
cation will he such that he can succeed in his selection.
—Walter Land
Do You Listen?—
PETTING down to brass tacks, how well do you really listen
in class':1 Staring out the window, watching that good j
looking girl on the second row, staring at the hack of your
neighbor’s neck, or looking at the teacher with glazed eyes
are some of the many symptoms of poor listeners. Of which
are you guilty? You will find that when you really start
listening your grades will soar to a new peak. It certainly
is worth giving a try. especially if you want to graduate.
—Bill Koebrick

fit is trimmed with a black turtle
neck sweater, black belt, black
loafers and white bobby sox.
Vernon Bomhoff combines red
and white stripes to make a
western styled cowboy shirt with
white pearl buttons. This west-
ern attire is worn with levis,
white socks and brown shoes.
A style that ranks high in the
fashion world is Lila Lott in her
beige bnx-slylc suit. A beige
sweater and white collar add
most graciously to blend with
this suit Brown suede loafers
and white hobby sox are accom-
panying assets.

Last Thursday, January 26,/
about 2:30 p.m. during fifth hour’
journalism class, the teacher, Mrs.f
Samuelson, left the class for a
moment, closing the door behind
her. >
All of a sudden the door of thb
dark room flew open with Jerry J
Gerber, and Bobby Allen, both1
juniors, bounding out on the floor,
grappling and tearing one anoth-»
er’s shirts. Walter Land, a gangl-J
ing senior jumped up to separate
1 ihem.
A student ran to the door to get|
Mrs. Etheridge, dean of girls,
thinking Walt’s efforts might be
useless. The lock was jammed, so
she frantically pounded on the
door, knowing an upset teacher
would soon be to the rescue. She
looked back and saw that Walter
Land had them apart, and was
just refraining from her efforts,
but Bobby kept making leaps lor
Jerry. She finally got the door
open and told Mrs. Etheridge, who
told me to get Mr. Mitchell, dean
of boys and school registrar.
The sirl then went back to the
room to find buttons and scraps of
«iii is scattered on the floor. All
the students were uproariously
laughing, with a few girls crying
:s a shocking result of a “most
realistic" but really a very well
planned fight for practice in ob-
1 serving details.
