Dear GHS,
On behalf of the members of the bas
ketball squad we would like to commend
you, the student body, on the fine spirit
and sportsmanship yon have exhibited
throughout this basketball season. Whether
you realize it or not, your attitude has a
great effect on the play of the team, for
it always means a great deal to the boys
to play before a well-behaved crowd.
At the close of this season, just as last
year, a sportsmanship award wiU be given
on the basis of vote by every team in the
conference. Thus far we have been to only
two or three cities where we felt that the
home crowd was a courtous one. This is a
pretty disappointing situation, but the squad
feels that you are certainly deserving of
consideration for the sportsmanship award.
The final decision, of course, rests in the
hands of the other seven conference teams.
The state tournament next week will af
ford you a good opportunity to use some
real spirit and sportsmanship. Every team
will be expecting the yelling and shouting
that accompany the game. Without them it
wouldn’t be basketball. The teams also
expect, however, that you yell at the right
times. Just keep up the good work, and
we’re certain the visiting teams wiU have
no complaints. Come next Wednesday when
the tournament begins, the squad will be
giving it everything it has. We hope all of
you will come out and give us your whole
hearted support.

COUNCIL
CORNER
By Bill O’Brien
Our council is now busily engaged in
making plans for all of its spring activi
ties which will include the school-wide
elections in April, May Day, May 1, in
stallation of new officers, the council’s
annual report to the school, May 7, and
the Spring Prom, May 24.
In connection with May Day, the elec
tion of a queen and her court will be
held in the next few weeks. The fol
lowing is a schedule of that election:
March 4, each home room will pick its
candidates (senior home rooms will pick
three, and junior and sophomore home
rooms will pick two), March 6, each
class will elect its attendants for the
court, and March 8 the entire school
will elect the May Queen from the eight
highest girls on the senior ballot. The
actual program for May Day is being
planned by the May Day Committee with
Camille Merriman, student chairman,
and Mrs. Jean Newman, faculty adviser.

TEASE
The person who thought of the namea
“term” paper for the dreaded sentence
passed on all those ^ilty of being high
school seniors certainly knew what he
was talking about. Open your eyes ye
lowly sophomores, ye struggling juniors.
Be not deceived by the glory and honors
surrounding the mighty seniors. Be
ware! To quote a glamorous friend of
mine, Hatrick Penry, “liet not such hon
or be brought at the price of chains.”
This term of hard, work-filled days
and sleepless nights is the worst doom
ever passed by any judge. (He got his
Master's Degree in cruelty).

YOU OHVf NEED 10,000
encyclopedias, two
GALLONS INK, ANP A
TOH OF PAPER,
There are several parts involved in
this slow death. At first they, the ward
ens, sometimes called teadher, try to
disguise the obstacles involved by ad
vancing the idea that you have some
choice in subject matter. Then the fun
begins. After the teacher decides on your
choice, you find there are certain ma,-
terials you must have. The thing that’s
really hard on you is spending your
dad’s money to buy the hook on re
search papers, and the folder, and the
4”x6” cards, and the typewriter paper;
it’s always hard to spend someone else’s
money.
Library Assistance
Then a very helpful little lady gives
you five one hour lectures on the uses
and misuses of the library. At last, af
ter a brief reminder that the bars on
the library windows are there to pre
vent any suicida lattempt, you’re turned
loose to find the vast amount of material
available on your subject. The wardens
have divided the topics into two main
groups—those on which there is no
inormation and those which have so
much that it’s Imposible to figure it all
out. The important thing to know in this
prase of the game is which to take
notes on. Copy the part with the biggest
sounding words. It doesn’t matter
whether you need the information or
not; it’s impressive. Besides the more
technical term you use, the more con
fused the warden becomes.
After you feel you’ve copied enough
to write a fairly impressive paper, you
befin to work at nome.
Several materials are necessary: pen
radio, paper, radio, research notes, rad
io, research handbook, and a radio.
The first thing involved is the title
page, where you’re supposed to put your
name. (If you’ve got a good friend you’d
like to see his summer parole, you
might sign his name).
Tell Her
Then the outline to tell the warden
what you’re going to say must be
planned carefully, because if you don’t
tell the warden what you’re going to
say, she’ll say you shouldn’t have said
it. Anyway, next you tell her. With your
litle note cards arranged in the most
confusing order posible, you tell every
thing you know about the subject, and
if you don’t know anything, brother,
you’d better make it up fast! The only
thing is to make up a good source of in
formation to go along with it.
After the paper’s finished you write
another little paper to tell the wardens
what you’ve just finished saying. It
should follow fairly closely to the out
line you wrote to tell them what you
were going to say.
Too Late List
One last step is the bibliography. It’s
the list of boks, eneyclopedias, magazine
articles and newspapers you wish you’d
read before you started. An important
item here is the “see also” reference
which is only a list of the type articles
you might have written if the warden
had extended your two day time limit.
Sophomores and juniors, this lectifre
yas prepared hy seniors who have ben
through the actual terrifying experi
ences of writing “term” paper* and it
is the best way we know of to beat
the rap. May we stress three important
factors?
1. Write a good enough paper to make
the warden suffer in a state of ut
ter confusion.
2. Does little work as possible to
achieve this end.
3. Your summer parole depends on it.

HALL TALES
By Betty Rose
Hail George! Not Liberace’s brother
but Washington. For you that are still
in the dark as to what all the noise is
about—today is George Birthington’s
Washday.
Be patriotic, salute the flounder of our
country on this day of days!
So much for this history. Let’s switch
to something exciting like vocabulary
development.
Geometry, class-sweat shop.
L7 is a new term for a “square.”
Write it down and you’ll see why.
Miss Carter: What do you know about
Latin syntax?
Joe Ritchie: Gosh, I didn’t know they
had to pay for their fun.
Sophomore: May I kiss you?
Senior: Jeepers! Another amateur!
Mr. D. D. Holt: How did this long
blonde hair get on the back seat of
my car?
David Holt: I’ll give you an explana
tion, sir.
Mr. D. D. Holt: Explanation nothing!
What I want is an introduction!
Bobby McNairy: Look at me! I’m a
self-made man!
Sari Winfree: That’s the trouble with
this cheap labor.
Wallace Williams: Is a chicken big
enough to eat when it’s two weeks old?
Kitty White: Of course not!
Wallace: Then how does it manage to
live?
St. Peter at the Golden Gate: How
did you get here?
New arrival: Flu.
So from me to you, this is your 20-20
Zazz gal saying
bye now.
