Victor While the luscious lovelies of South high school are extremely busy attending to their knitting, the male portion are establishing themselvesi as fashion experts. Their code seems to be to use as many colors as possible to make them appear as well-groom- ed rainbows. Girls seem to think that men are more vain than they. Well, pos-sibly, but why take it to heart? All the boys have done is cook up ways and means of livening-u- p the dark weather with flings at bright-ness. For example, there are those flashy ski sweaters, combinations of which are guaranteed to knock the glasses off the most casual on-looker. These are more than ample substitute for the yearly plaid shirt fad, which recently bit the dust in 1941. It seems always to be a r.abit with the male to purchase extra brilliant socks. One can get a d look at them, however, only when the fine fellow feels generous enough to roll his moleskins over those "Lil' Abner" style shoes. If it's not moleskins, it is the new sensation, Bedford cord. Most of these are several shades above moleskins, and look really snappy with a white shirt and zipper sweater. Also guaranteed to put all trousers in the background as far as color goes are the creme colored cords, rendered red, yellow or purple by virtue of the dye bath. They make anything put beside them pale with jealousy. Need more be said? Why not let the eyes do the rest? That is, if anyone has survived the bombardment of colors well enough to distinguish whether that's a hat or someone's idea of a practical joke. Southerners Lobby For Their Hobbies "Hobbies," says Webster of dictionary fame, "are those things which a person pursues with zeal and delight." It is therefore common to see Marjorie Hyde or Beverly Anderson in pursuit of their mutual hobby men. ... In like manner, Gene Pickering couples girls and roller skating to occupy his time, roller skates being used to catch up more quickly with the damsels. . . . Envelopes bearing the handwriting familiar to one, Gloria Partridge, go to California, Idaho, Georgia, and Arizona. Gloria says she likes to write interesting letters. Well, now the other 44 states are awaiting a few lines. . . . Within the next few years, the midget auto racing profession should anticipate the entrance of Keith Brown. Four years ago he was hit by the "bug" and the urge still lives to race about in 'one of those pint-size- d cars. . . . Mod-ern design rides the highways and Alice Gus-taves- on plans to inject a little of it into every-day wearing apparel, for her leisure moments are occupied by designing clothes. Lockheed or Curtiss Wright should see some of the model airplanes Chal Goss and Bill Simp-- , son construct. . . . Although they wouldn't buy her a defense bond, Lillian Larsen still has a love for worldly coins. . . . Albert Ardema is an ardent baseball fan. If in doubt about any Pioneer league events, just ask A. A. He's com-piled all the statistics since the league was reor-ganized in 1939. "In men whom men condemn as ill I find so much of goodness still, In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot, I do not dare to draw a line Between the two, where God has not. Joaquin Miller. "For myself live, live intensely and am fed by life, and my value, whatever it be, is in my own kind of expression of that." This issue, your Nosey Cub previews and reviews the movies to reveal to your wondering senses bits of grief, pathos and drama of Dear Old South. . Only those concerned will be interested. Worth your time. These barely passed our Hays' Office. Just closing (for repairs) at the locals is this spicv romance starring Bill Blake and Naoma Harwood. The couple are "In The Mood" to steady it when the finale comes in the form of a fist fight. The "steady" theme seems to be like a current it's turned on and off. Don't bring the kiddies. Strictly adult entertainment. This one features Norma Gerrard and Ted Ketterer. Ted plays the hard-to-g- et flash of the senior class, but you know how it all ends. "You go your way and I'll go with you." Shown recently at the little theater just around the corner, (the Christmas Matinee Dance to you) was this sequel to the "Four Sisters" and "Four Comrades." Priority rights are waived as cute little Dot Brown breezes by the stag line singing "Santa Fe Trail." Stan Kilbourne, Jack Lowder, Sherm Wright and Stan Jones "trail" after her. Johnny McMillan neglects his code of ethics for the "better things of life." Cokes, gals, and juke boxes were forgotten New Year's for a quiet evening at home. Comment : This one deserves a "daisy." A musical. Scene any place, any time Beverly Astler is present. Leading man, R. M., finds "Oh, You Great Big Beautiful Doll" very much to his liking. Comment from S. K. Russel Mears: "My heart runs after you." As any dope can plainly see, you have the dope, you figure it out. The hero, Don Drage, decides to give the girls a treat, but alas, South girls don't like Dutch treats, so he contemplates snding it all and goes bowling. Enters the sweet heroine (better known as Dor-othy Holmes.) He succumbs to her beauty and all ends happily. One of last year's fare, this one starts out rather slowly but picks up upon advice to Lois Noorda from A. U. E. G. that drugstore cowboys aren't so bad, so long as they are named Garth and work in a local ice cream parlor. She wastes no time, remembering the adage, "He who hesitates is lost." Taking the leading role is Shag Butterworth who keeps pretty steady company with Don Harris. We see them walking down the hall hand in hand toward the cafeteria. Oh, yes, upon the way was Shirley Hoggan flirting with some cute boys in the class across the hall. There in the cafeteria is Blanche Johansen with six of the male cast cluttered around her table. The scene quickly changes to Tuesday evening in the Westminister gym where we find Berdella Brown and Audrey Layton as usual. Summing all of our fare up we have: Dorothy Christensen having an interest in a cute boy in her fourth period class . . . Larry Pearson is interesting . . . interesting means attractive . . . Joyce Kinder is attractive in red ... Sid Faldmo has red hair that is envied by all the girls ... All the girls think Bob Lmde is handsome. . . Bob Layton has his share of good looks, too. . . Two people make a couple . . . Ruth Pay and Lloyd Peterson make a cute couple . . . Vadna Larsen is cute . . . Babs Lott has a cute engage- ment ring . . Francis Young is engaged . . . and I've got an engage-ment, so I'll sign off. Nosey Cub. Speaking of the Month Long ago when the deities roamed about the earth there was a certain god known as Janus. Like many modern folks he was two-face- d, but not exactly in the same way. One "pan" was wrinkled and old, having lived through the past. It was a face that had seen wars, famines, mis-ery and death. His other countenance was young and fair-complexion- ed. (Probably Janus had found his one "pan" to be rough and ugly and had used Lux Toilet Soap to keep the other one soft and dainty.) Anyway, this face was turned toward the future in wonder. Although Janus wasn't head over the deities, he was often referred by many as "father of the gods." In one hand he carried a sceptre and in the other, a key. The key was supposed to open the pearly gates of heaven. (He and St. Peter must have been related in a mythical sort of way.) Because Janus was the beginning and the end of all living things, the month of January was so named. When the New Year came, the old face of Janus was tired and discouraged, because Mars had sent vultures of war to prey upon the earth. Then came time for Janus to look upon the fu-ture. The other countenance was puzzled by the world condition. There was faith, however, in that face faith for a nation that was defend-ing its greatest gift freedom. Bomb, Bullet, Shell, That's an Air Raid, Run LikeOh, Well 1. As soon as bombs start dropping, run like . (It doesn't matter where as long as you run.) Wear track shoes if possible, then if the per-sons in front of you are slow, you won't have any 1trouble getting over them. 2. Take advantage of opportunities afforded when you hear air raid sirens. For example: (a) If in a bakery, grab some pie or cake, etc. (b) If in a tavern, grab a bottle. (c) If in a movie, grab a blond. 3. If you find an unexploded bomb, always pick it up and shake it, the firing pin may have stuck. (a) If this doesn't work, throw it in the fur-nace. (The fire department will come later and take care of it.) 4. If an incendiary bomb is found burning in a building, throw gasoline on it. You can't put it out anyway, so you might as well have a little fun. (a) If no gasoline is available, throw a bucket of water on it and lie down you're dead! (b) The properties of the bomb free the hy-drogen from the water causing rapid combus-tion. (In fact, it will explode with a great big BANG.) 5. Always get excited and yell bloody murder. It will add to the fun and confusion and scare the. little kiddies. 6. Drink heavily and eat onions, ' limburger cheese, etc. before entering a crowded air raid shel-ter. This will make you very unpopular with the crowd in your immediate vicinity. 7. If you should be the victim of a direct bomb, don't go to pieces lie still and you won't be noticed. 8. Knock the air raid wardens down if thev start to tell you what to do. They always save the best seats for themselves and their friends anyway. Fight for Life The small lad in the invalid chair was per haps eleven or twelve years of age. His thin little back was hunched up in pain, and his shoulder blades hung out in a horrible fashion. His ankles and wrists were mere bones, and his little face was distorted and full of pain. People who saw him being wheeled along the street looked back once or twice, shuddered when not-ing his deformity. Inside this little disfigured body was a soul . a soul that wanted to be something in this world. It wanted to be able to run and dance and play like the other children. But, because of his deformity, the little boy was only the object of self-pit- y. Everything exciting life had to offer he couldn't have. He was only a bystander who looked upon life with hungry eyes and a bitter heart. Infantile Paralysis is a disease that you may have tomorrow. The germ that causes it goes undetected under the microscope. The germ is accompanied by a paralysis of the muscles due . to infection of the spinal cord with poison in-duced into the system. The people who have suffered from this dis-ease need your dimes and dollars. Some of the crippled Infantile Paralysis victims may be able to walk some day through your unselfish effort in supporting the cause. Give all and more than you can afford. Keep our flag, the greatest flag that ever floated in the breeze, as the symbol of humanity by putting this foe on the casualty list with our other hated enemies. Presenting Pretty Peaches YVONNE KLING Wherever you find Yvonne you can always depend on finding noise, gaiety, fun, and Emerson Cannon. Beauty pe- rsonifiedbet no other school could boast of such a glamorous girl. VERA LACEY A shining example of qual-ity and not quantity, because remember that all good things come in the smallest packages. Youth at its best, she's little and sweet and can't be beat. LOUISE PEAKE You can't go wrong with a right gal like Louise. Cute, vivacious, and a great pal to have. Georgeous red hair and big blue eyes that can captivate anyone's heart. VIOLET RUGA Say, have you noticed those deep green eyes of hers? If you haven't, they are worth looking into. Personality plus, a smile that is gleaming all the time, and a charming model for her clever clothes. AMELIA MORSE Dark, flashing eyes, black hair, and is perfectly adorable in red, which she is invariably wearing. Has only been , in our school two weeks and has already made many friends. VIRGINIA DYER Loves ice cream, ele- - i phants, new clothes, blond fellows, good food, j enchanting hair-style- s and a good time. She ab-- I hors snakes. Always happy. t i J New Spring Shipment...
