H old individuals together under high standards. Remember! Tantalizing odors of golden-brown roast turkey, tart cranberry and ajiple sauces, succulent mince meat pies, spicy sage dressing and the many other delii-acies tliat make np the traditional American 'riianksgiving dinner, creep into the taugy. crisp November air. It’s the day held saered by count less Americans, Thanksgiving day. Here the war and its sniVering seem far away and unreal. Hut, is it ? Look over to the otlier side of the world. AVIiat kiiul ot day will the people there have? Ilei*o the stench of Indlct-torn. gangrenous flesh, chok ing dust tliat is caused by liomlis, an odor of deadly cyani(U‘ gas and liiiugn' assail the nose and meet the eye. Stark hunger for millions, young, old. middle-aged and crippled, hunger for all of them.

'Phey apparently don't have much for which to be thankful. Yet. they are! They are grateful for the ehanee to strike at the forces tlireatening to overcome the saered American way of life. Lives Of Pupils Revealed In Class ‘Who’s Who” Confusion of Satellites Makes Journalist’s Worry '^eparate the worthwhile from the r worthless and promote the highest interest of students, teachers, and school. The Yanks Get There The Yanks are coming! The words rang around the world Novemlier 7 and caused the whole of Euroi)0 to heave with mixed emotions. The Allies were jiiliilant ami t!ie war-weary peojde were joy ous. They gave many dimioiistrations, even at the threat of iiunishment ami death because the men who had the blood and intestinal fortitude M’ere on the way. They rememhered the la.st time, when through hell and tire the Yanks carried tlie battered stars and stripes througli the forest of the Argoniie and (-Iiateau Thieri’y and drove the IIuiis before them,. Yes, Hitler, you can hear the tread of a million feet as they intrude into your ill-gotten domain. Soon yon sliall see those avenging faces with looks that tell only too well the purpose of Iheir visit. In tlieir eyes yon see that they rememher Ledice and the thousand other atrocities yon have com mitted. (live ear. Herr Hitler, for soon the empire that you have built from the suffering of innocent people shall crumble into dust. Over it will train- I)le tlie hordes of free people whose aims will live as long as free men tread the earth. —Dewey Andrews “Did T put my foot in it? Ob. no. I only put JtOTII feet in it.’’ declared the unfor- tniiale jonrimlist, as she reviewed an uiiin- tenrional, i)uf neverthole.ss, near disastron.s mistake. The eireumstances were such that she had contemplated a dire future, as she envisioned the jtlare of irate advertising muu- agers and expected to l)e thrown out of a store on her ear. This whole, awkward busi ness started when she secured a High Life ad from Starr Eloetric company. Since it was to t)e a copy of one of last year's blurbs, she thuml)ed through the l)ack issues and ran the only ad Ijearing the Starr name that she saw. ■\Vhen tlie paiKU' finally made its appear ance, she gazed with pride and joy at the ad for Raymond Starr, Inc. Suddenly, she realized with a shock that Raymond Starr and Star Electric company were NOT the same firm, and she had run the wrong adver tisement. You can’t very well expect an advertiser to pay for someone else's copy, she decided, Init the teaclier nevertheless ordered (ho wretched Journalist to see the company im- iiK'dlately and report the error. ■\Viih two of lier friends to give moral sniiitort, slie eiiter‘d the store and spoke to tlie manager. Now. like the “laidy on the Tiger." this is a lioax story and it is the reader's privi lege (o dei-ide the outcome. However, they 10 say that "-Mac" has been singing the praises of satellites ever sinee. I'erhaps the (luestion. "What does a lioy really expect of a girl?" is one that (piite often runs through the minds of many girls, as they try to make themselves more attrac tive in the eyes of the males. This is a hard (juestion to answer, for sometimes hoys expeid too mueh of the ladies. However, the most important thing for which most of them look is to see if she shows inter est in him and the thing.s that he does and sa.vs. Know -About Sports In these days and times, .siiorts leap first in the minds of most boys, and they usually expeef their dates to know something about the matter and to lie able to carry on a reasoiialile conversation on the subject. How ever. she should not lie too athletic-minded, for a hoys likes for her to lie feminine, hut not a clinging vino. He exjiects her to show interest in her clothes, jis well as his, and to dress neatly and aiiprotiriately for The occasion. But she must rememlnn' that he also liki's attention. If he lias on h new suit, she must not forget to coniment on it. Don't Du (he ('Imsing! Till' Ixiy's "pet peeve" si>ems to be the spec tacle of a girl cliasing a boy. If a boy thinks enough of a girl, lie will do the running himself. Neglect in this matter is one thing that always gets his "goat." Therefore, ladies, if you must chase. l»e very subtle about it. Don't he too hard to please. When your date suggests bowling, movies, dancing, or what-have-yon. don't turn up your nose and si'om dissatislied. Re willing to have a good time, and he agreeable at all times. Df course, there are many other things tliat a hoy may expect of his girl, hut don't forget, hoys, the women have their ideas, too! How would you like to have all the inside information, including hobbies, aversions and the pasts of fellow classmates? Wouldn’t it he fun if the girls would know what their hoy friends prefer in the way of clothes and makeup? Seek no further, the members of Miss Cathleen Pike’s English class have actually found a way to learn the life his tories of fellow pupiis. Apple, ener getic member of the eittsc, is wiilais & Who's Who of Miss Pike's second period English 7 class. One interesting item from the information about the students was their middle names. For instance, Frances Theopal Paschal is named after one of her father’s old girl friends. Would you know who Mabel Maur- reen is? No? It's Mickey Black! Imagine the confusion if Roliert Joseph were called on. Really, it's only Joe Reynolds. Then, too, everyone was asked to turn in any iiarticular dislikes of theirs : this resulted in ipiite an assortment. Jack Weldon Tliorn- lowe states that he dislikes psychic people. According to the belief of the class, he thumbed through a dictionary to iiiid an impres.sive-looking word, and decided on ■‘psy chic." PKODLCTION Hear the sharp ring of anvil on steel, A sweet .sound to the eager ear. Production, and more production; Like an everlasting rhapsody that has no ending chord. Steady the hand on the drill. Wipe the sweat from an intent brow, Deeper grows the look of determination. A grim smile creases the straining face As a molten holt slides grudgingly into place. Production, and still more production, The chant of a million machines. The dream of a million working folk. The motors whirr on. T'ntil they grow as unceasing As the howl of the wind on a winter’s night. By Dewey Andrews. Fate Plays Tricks on Senior High Lassie To begin the day wrong. Sall.v Senior over slept and had no time for breakfast. She rushed out the door and barely missed the school bus. (’onseiiuently, she had to wait for a city bus in the chilly morning air. At the sipiare, Sally almost missed the "Special'’ to Senior high, When .she linally arrived at school, she tarried too long at her locker and was given 30 minutes in detention hall for that little touch of carelessness. In Sally's first period gym class, she caused her volleyball team to lose an important game l)y continually missing halls. All througli the day she ran info misfor tune at every corner. She flunked a math test, gave the teacher a liad impression of her mental ability in English, and, in gen eral. had an unfortunate day. At last, school was out and Sally dropped Avearily home. Eierything went wrong toda.v." she in formed her mother that night. "I had an aAvful day." ‘'Perhaps it was just fate." replied her mother, "or Friday the thirteenth luck!" November . . . the ground covered with leaves which have fallen from the trees scat tered about the G. H. S. campus . . . stu dents leaving study hall to purchase school rings ... a few energetic souls who have already begun the task of Christmas shopping. THANKSGIVING I’m thankful for my home and friends Whose kind hearts for me yearn, But most of all I’m thankful That the turkey didn’t burn. S. M. We have an author in our midst. Eddie Styers, member of Miss Cathleen Pike’s Eiig. lisli 5 class, recently road to the class six chapters of the book he is writing. The book is on the .subject of fighting Japs, and accord ing to reports, half of it is “blankety blank." The class Avishes you luck, Eddie. We hope that you sell as many copies as ‘‘Gone With the Wind." William Maurice Burgess li.sts his dislikes as the loop-o-plane and poetry books. There actually i.s someone avIio dislikes chicken! l\asehal might have a de-ided Southern drawl. t)ut did you ever hear of a true South erner Avho shunned this noble bird? Other hits of amazing information were these reve lations: Peter I’erkins Price has acquired a great deal of general knowledge, in his own opinion, at least. He also dislikes sim ple-mindedness (in others). Edward Hughes Alexander, who is knoAvn as just "Ed," lists his hobby as the desire to got as much money as he can as honestly as he can. He made no statement, however, as to the exact degree of honesty reiiuived. Even Miss Pike was in on the fun. She rewealed that her ambition i.s to be a guiding star to a high school "gink.” Thus, this class has proved that anything can and does happen in an English class. If one learns that a member of High Life is in a critical condition from injuries .sustained in a mysterious manner, he will immediately know that (he aforesaid students have aveng ed their honor. The Blues ... as sung by a girl who is taking that salesmanship course to Avork during Christ mas holidays. “-All this," she muttered With a sigh, “Just so that I Can sell a tie.” S. M. Hidden Past The members of the English 7 classes are AA'ondering Avhy Ralph Coble and Ed Alexan der are leaving out certain parts of their liA'es in Avriting their autobiographies. Ralph explained that since his mother Avas reading his manuscript, he left out two years of his life. He also referred his teaclier to his junior high instructor for any details. New Words ... to the old refrain : Poefs Corner Over the river and through the woods To grandmother’s house we go; We guess we’ll make the trip on foot— Our gas is running Ioaa’. Over the river and through tiie woods. Now grandmother’s cap I s|)y; It may be fun, but the sugar is gone— We’ll do without the pie. S. M. It Avas Armistice day, and he thought that he could get aAA-ay Avith playing a little jump- rope—you knoAv, skipping. He ran doAvn to the office Avith that old sick slip idea. Was he surprised to learn that teachers Averen’t born yesterday! Inspired . . . by the neAv vitamin pills : Vitamins A and B and C Will make you short or tall; Perhaps we’ll find it’s wasted time To even eat at all. S. M. Miss Moore AA-as explaining to her geome' try class an old formula once used to deter mine the area of the land. She made the statement that the Biblical Joseph might liaA'e been gypped on his purchase of land if he had bought property in a certain shape. A feAv minutes later. Pete Miller, AA'itli a nerv ous look, asked if Joseph ever got his money hack. Wanted—a machine that Avill knock out any students asking dumb questions. If such can he found, notify :\Iiss Cathleen Pike im media tidy. Oh, who has seen a horse fly Or watehed a kitchen sink Has seen a greater phenomenon Tlian elephants flying, we think. S. M. It AA’as in the health class. The teache Avas giving to the students a list of ills Avhic: might result from malnutrition. She ha^ just announced that a person failing to ri- coive the proper nourishment might be siil: ject to infection. One girl looked up am smiled hoix'fnlly as she asked, “Did you sa; ST'BJECT to affection?"
