Bauer Photography Faculty Advisor A Friendly School Friendliness is a quality necessary in order to make any school a success. In fact, it is a basic quality necessary to make any undertaking of a school a success. Everyone enjoys having friends, a few close friends surely, but also a wide range of people that they are on good terms with, know something about, and are able to speak to when they meet. - There has been a lot of talk lately on the matter of school spirit. Well isnt school spirit really just being friends and being acquainted with everyone? Knowing your classmates, teachers, and fellows on the team? Surely if you know the players on the team, you will be more interested in the games they play. With your pals going to the games, you wont want to be left behind. When all your friends are dancing and having fun, certainly you will want to join in the fun too. Its no good going to a school dance, and then standing around and watcihng the others enjoy themselves. Not only that, but youll want to start getting in on helping with the school activities. Being in the school plays, writing for the paper, and joining in the assemblies. Its all fine and dandy to sit back and watch the others perform, but then the others would enjoy just as much watching you do your stuff once in a while. You cant expect someone else to do all of the work, and besides, who wants them to? Half the fun in life is doing things yourself! Now probably youre not one of these people. But then, suppose you were. Suppose you were a stranger to the school this year. Of course you would want to get acquainted with everyone, and join in all the school fun. But you couldnt do it all by yourself, you would need some cooperation. NOTICE Actors Actresses Hopefuls -- A. dents. 3:00 llth-12t- 250-- h.

Mrs. Bauer for securing a newspaper for the High serious. Hi every body and welcome back! How do you like having some new ideas around the school? One of them is our elections. Mr. Christensen decided this year that his Civics class should learn something about voting from experience, instead of just reading about it, (Not that they mind). Anyway our voting this year has been done as nearly as possibly like the national voting. The three judges may have seemed like a lot of trouble, but you seniors ought to be glad for the experience as you should start voting next year. Besides, it surely was a lot of fun for the judges. About the only thing different than the real elections is that we didnt have to register. In real elections the first time you vote you have to fill out a card giving School. Life history.

The sloppy Joe has made its exit, and in its place are soft, short sleeved sweaters with more of a fit. Wide belts are more in style than ever and peg skirts still hold top rank. Lengths are longer this season, and give the impression of a more conservative miss. length sleeves, full or otherwise, are in great demand, and the Chinese or roll collar points one out as a sharp dresser. Baby doll shoes are back in the lime light, with the wedge cut down into the plain oxford heel. Loafers in black or brown suede are nice for dates and school. Almost anything new is classed as clever, and there is no longer any reason why anyone shouldn't look really smooth. er Don M. My mother drowned one of my little kittens.

All her spare time is spent sewing, which is not only an enjoyable pastime for her, but also a very practical one. She makes most of her own clothes. The only feature she dislikes about Provo is the low hanging smoke from the coke ovens at Ironton. Smoke is really a problem for blondes. Seventh Graders Think Junior High School Fun KANE'S KI MOI T The dear sailor we saw around the halls about two weeks ago Friday, September 27th at North Park, the high school had its first school party. Known only as the K. K., it was really Kane's Kumout. The seniors boasted of the best volley ball players, while the junior class attempted to take the honors in softball. Mr. Lewis kept his and of more more promise eating hot dogs and was last seen being wheeled home on a tricycle by his son. Strangely, the sweet cider was cant missing, the reason was, be spiked. The little seventh graders made their size count by being there They reached a magnificent one hundred per cent in turnout and set a good example for the school. The seniors also did adKK cards mirably with thirty-fiv- e to their credit.

The brown But, doors swing open, there are bumping thuds and suddenly the hall is full of light, the janitor has arrived. He wastes no time and pays little heed to the silence that surrounds him. Doors are unlocked and opened, here is the resonance of chairs being moved and the muffled sound of a hair broom or heavy-mobroom as it is forced over the floor. Then the clamor of wastebaskets being emptied fills the early morning air. Piles of dirt are gathered up, halls are swept and dusting is begun. From room to room, dust rags fly, until each desk seems to shine with the first indication of daybreak. Rooms are indoors locked, mops, brooms spected, and trash cans gathered up, and the janitor, weary with a good job done, leaves a clean building and goes to his other tasks as an unsung hero on the school front.

She graduated from North Sanpete, and from there she went to Snow college in Ephraim, Utah.
