FRANK HARROW Acquaint-ing you with another third year personality. A major and a per-fect dancer, he also goes in for fencing. He seems to like speech afwully well. Of course, there is no special reason, or is there? DOROTHY TUCKER A tall and beautiful blonde glamor gal who would make a swell model. A sweet person to know. Boys, she walks home going north on State street. BOB BARKER Oh, man! A real-fles- h and blood, tall, dark, and handsome. Clinton's little brother is doing all right for himself. Plays football and hopes to go in for basketball. ELAINE HUNSAKER S.H. A.G.'s newly appointed president. A perfectly swell girl, and good at telling "fairy tales."

Lois Branting and Lucille DuPaix have been added to the Specs depart-ment. . . . Betty Spencer is trying to decide which is of moah importance, the sun or the moon.

It still isn't too late to ask that sweet and beautiful girl in your third period class to go with you. Of course, it is rather late to be getting a date for tonight, but if you ask her right now, don't be too surprised if she accepts. Who knows, she has probably been hoping against hope that you would ask her. No fooling. Such things are being done these days. After you have your date, you're all set. At a quarter of nine this evening, you will find yourself seated in a big chair, talking to "her" father. You're all slicked up, and kind of nervous, wondering what she'll say when she comes in the room. But don't think you're the only one that's worried. She is probably having nervous prostration, trying to think what she will say when sht first sees you. (you looking so handsome and everything!) But then, all of a sudden a door opens, and out she comes, looking ever so beautiful. You both forget your nervousness, and you're off for the dance. Nothing will win a feminine heart quicker than a boy who knows how to be a gentleman. You don't have to read Emily Post's books on etiquette to acquire respect and consideration for a girl. Without these qualities you are definitely sunk! Tonight's the night for a swell time. Get your date now, and fol-low the crowd. Danger! Too Deep For You Aha, Nosey, can't you read what it says up above? This column is so dry you will probably choke while reading it. But since curiosity has the best of you, we will continue. Music, yes, music is one of the most wonder-ful things we have in this war-tor-n world. Now you don't have to look so disappointed, because I'd just like to see anyone get along without it. I suppose the Cadet Hop would be such a big Went without the swell orchestra to furnish the right atmosphere. If you think Deanna Durbin could play football like she sings and still make you sigh when you see her on the screen, plenty of people are going to wonder about you. How in the world would you get your shorthand done without listening to Jack Benny, Kay Keyser, or Bob Hope? Oh, you'd listen to Fred Allen. (You pessimist.) Life has many problems, and everyone has o meet them. There is something about lilting love songs and melodies that rather takes the sadness out of it and puts a little, glow some-where in that thing you studied about in Biology called the heart. Centuries have come and gone, bringing new and beautiful melodies for the peo-ple to enjoy. Millions upon millions of men go off to war singing a simple, but meaningful song, returning years later, singing that same little tune, because they fought for the love of that flag gallantly flying above their home and country. Well, you can quit yawning now, because this column is so near done that it hurts. But those of you who have truly enjoyed reading this min-iature lecture are on the Great American High-way of Happiness. More power to you! For you, Nosey, there are possibilities. "End, Center, Tackle, Guard. South high hit em hard. Hit em high, hit em low. South high, let's go!" Yells like these are common now that football is in full swing. Next to nowing- - the fine points of the game, the prime requisite for being a good football date is to know the fine points of proper attire. To "guard" your glamor,, "tackle" one of those new white wooley reversable coats with plaid lin-ing. That ought to be a "first down" in any game. On the fifty yard line, you'll be admired in that classy bias-c- ut pleated skirt, topped with a bright red or yellow sweater. Virginia Hammond's blue and yellow plaid skirt and yellow sweater really catches the eye. For the rainy day, a sure scor-ing point is a nice combination of a transparent umbrella, white storm boots, and one of those bewitching hooded rain coats. Try mixing red, blue, or your favorite color with the ever pop-ular beige. For stockings, ribbed three-quarte- r length hose in "blue and white," will add cheer and warmth. To convert any costume into a real "line smash," why not pin one of those briliant novelty pins to your lapel? A mustard yellow pleated skirt and a, beige sweater, along with a string of orange, green, and beige "macaroni" beads, made Betty Bolin a center of interest on Monday. Speaking of the rising popu-larity of home-mad- e necklaces, watch for the pine cone fra-grance of Arden Knudsen's new creation. Don't tell anyone, but the new-est style there is, even in Holly-wood, is to wear the baggiest sweaters you can find ; preferably men's slipover V-ne- ck sweaters. The sleeveless jacket type sweat-er is rapidly gaining popularity with all smart dresses. These new ideas are economical as well as fashionable, because, just think, both you and your brother can be flashy dressers together. (Too bad men's long trousers couldn't become a new fad for girls). To star a real "touch down" for your football glamor, take heed of these suggestions, and the final score will be 7 to 0 in your favor. As I See It "What a high school education means to me," is the topic discussed by Betty Jean Bai and Ernest Paulsen, our guest writers. "To me an eaucation in high school means opportunity to take advantage of an unselfish offering to the youth of this nation. Nine out of every ten students go to school because they have to. There was once a l- - , 'JVT-- time in this country when an f'd education was something only L 'W-fj- J very few people ever attained. I 1 ill we have lovely schools, ft VC" J I supplied with men and women I jt who are eager to teach the ci ti ll' f JA zens of tomorrow how to be I mJ.'WJ real Americans. Requirements are set for our graduation from high Betty Jean Bai gchool n Qrder to more fuUy round the knowledge of the graduates. But how many of us would take those required subjects if we were not forced to? School is just one example of the interest and faith this country has in it's youth. Why not show them what we're made of?" "A high school education is very essential to any student who wishes to study for a pro-fession or otherwise. A pupil may derive many benefits from a commercial course, as this pre-pares him for the actual running of a business. Without such training, he wanders out into the world, just f I hoping for an opening that is ti'"" difficult enough to attain any- -. E? way About this time, he starts : 'g vJH' to think- - Whv didnt 1 study : s wnen I bad the opportunity?" f jff" "Nowadays it is almost im t, possible for anyone to get a Tf good responsible position with- - i , 1 out a high school education. They just don't want people Ernest Paulsen who try to ride on the should- - . ers of the real worker with am-bition. Do you blame them? Graduation night isn't the time to start studying. Now is the time to gain your knowledge and ability. To- - day, not tomorrow, is the time for you to learn all you can. If you do, you'll have that key to success right in your hand." Live In the Season of Death What a glorious season' this is! If there were ever a need for an example of the beauty and grace of death, autumn might well be used. Spring is scintillating, vibrant,-alive- ; wint-er is impressive, magnificent, powerful; autumn is beautiful, tranquil, sad. Autumn is the symbolic season of death. Christians believe the spirit leaves the body as the brain ceases to function. Perhaps it is exactly opposite in the case of the leaves. Per-haps a spirit enters and changes them to the gorgeous hues which Jack Frost supposedly paints them. Leaves are beautiful in death. They seem to accept the termination of their usefulenss, and with a sigh of the wind, float gracefully to the earth. But autumn is not the season of death for all of Mother Nature's children. It is the be-ginning of the national defense .program of nature. Animals are donning winter coats and storing food for the siege of winter. Every living thing is preparing for a change. To humans it is also a season of preparation. There is a tang in the air which is ably de-scribed in a line in "Vagabond Song" by Bliss Carman : "There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir:" Autumn brings football. As the first oaks are "lipsticked" with autumn, the general at-mosphere fairly screams, "Football!" Winter is the time to sit before a cosy fire and read a book. Autuwin is the time when your gypsy blood should boil. Get out while the getting's good! Get out and enjoy life while you're young! Play and watch the games of youth. Live in the season of death!
