It is published because we feel that there is a great need for improvement. School spirit is an indefinite quality. It can not be taught; it must be lived. A school either has it or doesn’t, and our school is woefully lacking. The best sign of school spirit is our support of athletics. You have no idea of the lift the teams get from a big turnout. There are more than two hundred students in C.H.H.S.; yet we feel we are doing well if fifty come to a game. This is a sad state of affairs. There has been considerable progress this fall toward a better school spirit. The test will come between now and Christmas. If we can raise school spirit and student morale to a high pitch by then, and keep it high, we can hold it throughout the year. Let’s really try. Football Equipment The PROCONIAN staff on behalf of the stu dents of Chapel Hill High School, wish to ex press their appreciation to the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs and to various townspeople for their large donations to the athletic associa tion of the high school. These contributions have made it possible to purchase new uni forms and equipment for the football, baseball and basketball teams. The need for new equipment has been real ized for several years, but until recently funds have not been available and the squads have been wearing discarded uniforms of the Uni versity. With the new equipment the spirit of the student body, and especially that of the team, has increased. KEYHOLE Having flunked our geometry quiz good and proper, we take off a little time to study up on it. Starting out with simple (aren’t we) figures (maybe this is more complex than we thought) we have: One and one make two and Bootsie Taylor and Ward Peacock make a neat couple. Two on a bike built for one headed for Gimghoul is certainly an interesting angle. P.S.: Bootsie stays out Gimghoul way all the time! The eternal triangle! Angle A, Frances Bowden, angle B, Pearl Birtchett, and angle C, Phillip Durham. Statement: Angle A and angle B aren’t speaking. Reason: Angle C. Two and two make four and Aliene Ross and Virginia McPherson are wearing Jack Horder and George W. Thompson’s rings re spectively. Looks like everybody is getting squared off ((we mean paired off, but it’s got to be a four-sided job). Axiom: A general statement that is accept ed as true without proof or explanation. Ex ample: Barbara Cashion and Bill Kilpatrick on his leave! Need we say more? In a plane one and only one circle can be constructed with any given point as center and any given line-segment as radius. Duh!! Two complementary angles form a right angle. Angle A, Helen Phillips and Angle B, David Sharpe certainly make an all right an gle! What these Senior gals won’t stoop to! Vicious circle!! Christine Cheed and Va linda Haithcock going round ’n’ round with Jack Lloyd and Peanut Durham sort of in cludes Maryon Lloyd and Bill Sorrell out. Two supplementary angles form a straight line, but that line Nita Sanders is handing Colbert Leonard has plenty of curves. To Prove: B. W. (Beryl Ward) plus P. C. (Preston Carroll) is equal to a new flirtation. Problem: What about Roy? Solution: If you ever figure it kids, call us up, 5296 and 8516. Suttle, aren’t we? Well, can you think of a better way? This keyhole is dedicated with fond hopes to Miss Anderson and all congruent triangles. Long may they bisect! SILO —“Full of Corn” OPENING POEM— Mary had a little hike She rode it very well, One day she ran into a tree, And busted it all to pieces. (Editor’s Note: Not poetic — but clean.) * * Typing class—such a wonderful course—It took us three weeks in the class to find out you had to put paper in the machine—We’re pro gressing slowly though, but we’re still as Miss Pilley puts it, “a little off-key.”—Personally we prefer to stick to the Biblical system, “Seek and ye shall find.”—And as we bid fond fare well to typing class, there rings in our ears the chant of Miss Pilley’s voice crying, “Don’t move that index finger or you’ll pull back a nub.” . . . There are two kinds of jokes: Good jokes and the ones our adviser lets us print. You know what an adviser is. That’s someone who finds three meanings to a Progonian joke that only has two. . . . This week at the Car michael theatre: “I Wake Up Screaming” with Betty Grable.... And as the student teacher in Senior English would say, “Back in the 1500’s every female was a middle-aged women.” . . . It happened the other day while the girls were drilling in Phys. Ed. Class. Suddenly the drillma^ter cried hadt^’. Her subordinates ground to a stop. “Right dress,” continued the leader. All the girls execept one carried out the command. “What’s wrong?” asked the dumbfounded one, gazing down at her shorts and sneakers. “Isn’t this the right dress.” . . . Definition of a criminal: A PROCONIAN member who gets caught. . . . And speaking of criminals that reminds us of the jailbird’s theme song: “Bars and Stripes Forever.” . . . The other day in some class or another we were asked what we thought was the hardest thing to deal with. And as we picked ourselves off the floor we de cided an old pack of cards wasn’t the right answer. CLOSING POEM- Jane ate cake and Jane ate jelly And Jane went to bed with a pain in her Now, Miss Manci, don’t he misled For the trouble with Jane was a pain in her head.
