MID-TERMS OVER
AT LAST !
Now, after picture making, bas-
ketball tournaments, and mid-term
exams, students can get back to
more basketball games, less study-
ing, more dates, and late horns.
The delay of the examinations
(which we didn’t mind at all) was
due to some fault with the heating
system. We didn’t mind missing any
of school except basketball practice.
But we are through with tests, *111
the end of the year, that is, all ex-
cept dally tests, two weeks’ tests and
six weeks’ tests.

TALKING TURKEY •
Once upon a time there was a
nice brown turkey resting himself
on the cabinet at Coach Page’s
house waiting for dinner. While
Mrs. Coach went out to call on a
neighbor, along came some Rough-
ettes then sniff, sniff, gobble, gob-
ble, goodbye, tuifcey.
Next week along came a huge
pineapple cake with “Gobble” In
chocolate Icing across the top. That
Is all the Pages ever saw of the big
baked turkey.
