NEW CASTLE NEWS, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1951 * 17 WHAT'S DOING IN THE SCHOOLS High Notes From Kisco The teens in Kisco have been quite disturbed lately, A while af», in another paper, someone sent in a letter to the editor about a telephone conversation that she had overheard. It was one be tween- two,young boys. The conversation was all about girls and she said the boys didn't talk very nicely about them. They told each other what they did. This j person was quite bothered and made that clear in her letter. We kids feel that she put the le^on all of us instead of the j&o, deserve it. She sayo that Vnmst talk that way—at Jle indirectly does. That xue. I hope it is proved to St we all aren't like that. . 'guess we shall have plenty May flowers with the many April showers we have been hav ing. It always seems to rain when there is a school vacation. The showers arrived a little early but we can call them April show ers. ^iere are a few songs and things associated with them: \So Long, It's Been Good to Know You\—to the fellas being called into service; \Shotgun Boogie\— school marks on presentation to parents; \There's No Tomorrow\ —Saturday night date; \Red head\—to the bleached bangs fad; \I'll Be Seeing You\—to our winter clothing; \Abadaba- d^pa\—telephone conversations; \rll Never Be Free\—school; and \Too Young\—teen-agers. We are back to work at school now. By this time, we are used to getting up a few hours early to go to school. No more waking up at 10 or 11 until Saturday rolls around. April Fool's day has come and gone. Many tricks, old and new, tuddif ord Given Marksman Award Marine Private First Class Andrew D. Studdiford Jr., son of A .D. Studdiford of 15 Ludlow Drive, Chappaqua, N. Y., re cently climaxed training here aj^ the Marine Corps Recruit I^jot by receiving a promotion were played. While you are thinking of one to play, some one is playing one on you. What a life! The Seniors came back from Washington, D. C, around 11 . o'clock Saturday night. They I made many friends, per usual, mainly with Ardsley. Our school mates around with them the most. Just wail 'til next year comes. Last weekend the Lions Club play, \Adam and Eva\ was giv en. We are all proud of LoL Wood, a graduate of Kisco High who played a marvelous part in it. The spring concert, given fo\ our school Glee Club and chorus, is coming up next. Then comes our Junior Prom. After that, exams will be taken and ther. summer vacation. Before wt know it, it will be here. There have been so many fire*, around Kisco lately—grass fires, and houses both. One girl came home from Washington to fine her garage had been on fire a little while before. Such a home coming. Sunday found the Goody Shop packed with kids making the most of their last day of vaca tion. A crowd of fellas from Ardsley came up and met all the rest of the KLco kids. I guess the Goody has another town that will patronize it. They are a very nice crowd of kids ana I hope we see a lot of them. The Washington trip was realty wonderful. You make friends so fast and keep them for a long time. I hear the house detectives had quite a time down there keeping tabs on the kids. Enough about Washington for a while. I'll say so long for now. Pvt. Andrew D. Studdiford to his present rank and winning the silver badge of Marine Marksman. Studdiford completed training in field tactics and precision drill. He also received classroom instruction in field sanitation, first aid, Marine Corps history 0d military courtesy. He fired other infantry weap ons in addition to the Garand rifle with which he qualified, and observed operation of the machine gun, mortar and flame thrower. Library Exhibits Works By Turner The current art display in the Chappaqua Library is the work of Wallace Turner of Old Pines- bridge Road, Chappaqua. When ever possible the Library ar ranges for exhibits of local ar tists, utilizing the limited space available to the best advantage. Mr. Turner, in this instance, has not only loaned his paintings of the South Seas but also loaned fascinating curious, including tapa cloth and tools for making it. In June 1940, Mr. Turner and his wife left on a trip to the South Pacific which was to last 14 months. They went to Hawaii, Tahiti, Samoa, the Fiji Islands, New Zealand and Australia. The paintings shown at the library were done during the four months spent among the natives on three of Fiji's most important islands. The natives were en thralled by the \drawingo\ arid crowded around to watch. Both men and women were glad to sit for their portraits, although it was the men rather than the women who asked to be drawn. The reward for a patient sitting was a can of \bully beef.\ Mr. Turner studied at the Chicago Art Institute; Choui- nard School of Art, Los Angeles; Ecole des. Beaux Art, Fontaine- The 40 Hour Week At Greeley Vacation has ended and we are very sorry. There are few, if any, of us who look forward to the ten week tests that are arriving. Those necessary evils would be a great thing, if we could find a place for them; there should be a place for everything, and everything in its place, but. . . . There have been some of us who have ,been working during this vacation. Dave Kuper- schmid, Dave Bakken, Jack Bak- ken, Kenny Higgins and Pete Huberth have been doing rmich to get the Roaring Brook School ready for its new occupanto. They tell us in all fairness that there have been a few \faculty slaves\ too. This all seems a very community-minded thing to do. Some of us have been think ing of our futures. Nancy Laugh- rey and Barbara Stahl drove up to Wells to get a look at what they think will be their next seat of learning. It seems that they were favorably impressed with the place. The main, though underlying, topic of conversation during va cation has been that age-old problem of summer jobs. Many of us sound very energetic and enterprising. We are hoping that three-fourths of the suggestion-^ will actually be carried out. Some of them sounded good! Friday night brought the Po liceman's Ball. It was \good\, to quote one of our most critical people. That ought to make someone happy! Many of us have been out of town during this heaven-sent lapse of school. Barbara Stahl, Ed Stahl and their parents went into New York to see \South Pacific\. We hear that they were as impressed as anyone else who has seen it. Ellen Roberson went in to town on Saturday and had a wonderful time going through a museum that was falling apart. \Something about George Wash ington\; this sounds interesting and we are wondering where this place is. Hugh Winterhalter came home from the \big city\ but he turn ed right around and ran back. Life down there must hold some unknown fascinations. It is lucky for the Smiths that Ray has his heap. \The thing\ has come in very handy since the Smiths' car has been out of commission. It may not be beau tiful, but it runs- Last Wednesday tho Sanioro had a meeting about Senior Day. No one can find out ii they came to any conclusions or not, but they must be thinking up a whopper! Alan Deering and Ray Smith have literally been maKing money hand over fist sawing wood. We have heard great things about this team! Tho^e people who went into school during vacation for any purpose have come back with fabulous tales about the changes the place has made. The chemis try and physics labs are hardly recognizable, we hear. Ann Romaine and Ann Snyder THIS WEEK'S GREELEY went to the Senior Ball at St. Mary's in Katonah. This soundo like fun. The pinknesses and bluenesses were appreciated by some of us, at any rate. A crowd of energetic girls bi cycled to the Kensico Dam com plete with picnics and such Susan Figgatt, Dede Freeman, Shiela Nichols, Lorrains DuPont and Linda Dreher on came back with tales of great things. We guess that it will soon become a \thing to do\ thanks to this crew. Last Tuesday Jackie Spalding gave a surprise party for Shiela Nichols who had a birthday. Jackie Caine, Harriet Harper, Kit Roach, Dede Freeman, Susan Figgatt, Judy Scott, Nancy Flint and Sandy Oehman all helped to keep it a big secret. It was a suc cess, as far as we can find out from them as was there. So our vacation is ended and we are all in a state of needing to go to school to get some rest. This we know is not the way we should look at our higher educa tions, but what is there to do? How can one turn down even one little thing during a vaca tion. We crawled gladly back to school. bleau, France; and the Art Stu dents League, New York. He has painted in many countries in eluding France, England, Sco. lana, Mexico and Canada. And there's really nothing to be serious about, now that our ten-week tests are finished. The halls are easier to navigate in without the smaller element (although there are times when we miss the dulcet strains of \Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue\ drifting up to our science classes), and with the end of a rather confused week we've finaly de ciphered our revised bus sched ules. From Monday until about Thursday, we were too drugged with the miscellaneous scraps of information to realize we were being forced by those \higher-up\ to rise and shine 15 minutes earlier. Since the study hall has been moved from 215 to 108, we have finally been blessed with an out side handle for 215, which they obviously didn't trust us with as long as we were inhabiting the room. There should be a moral here somewhere. Mean while, the current problem is that of students who use the drawers of 210's desks as waste- paper baskets. \This is a regret table tendency\ to quote one of our revered professors, and something should be done about it. Suggestions include keeping a small bonfire burning in the middle of the upper hall for rapid disposal, or complete abo lishment of the u.ae of paper for school work. No solution seems forthcoming at the moment, but there's hope. Exclamations of admiration over the newly decorated science rooms are rife (and everyone know that \rife exclamations\ are the most complimentary). As a matter of fact, science classes seem to have consisted soley of discussion (scientific, of course) on the new equipment for the past week. Lately there's been rumor that the beginning of an honor system (an honor system study hall to be specific) may be set up in Horace Greeley. There are two definite opinions concern ing the idea. Practicaly every one is in favor of it but only about 50 per cent think it will work. (As for the \moral integ rity\ of the other 50 per cent— we wonder). So we've taken over the entire school building (what happened to all the extra space we were promised). COOL CAL One day, when Calvin Coolidge was governor of Massachusetts, he invited the state road com missioner to the executive man sion for dinner. When he advised his wife, Grace, that there would ba a guest for the evening meal, Mrs. Coolidge decided that this was the time to bake her first apple pie. Mrs. Coolidge's cooking experi ence was limited, but she fol lowed the receipe carefully, and was rewarded by a pie as luscious looking as she had ever seen. At dinner, when the pie was placed on the table, it was greeted with murmurs of approval, and all eyes lighted up with anticipa tion. Eagerly, the diners dug in to it. At the first bite, however, their expressions changed to one of disappointment. The crust was as hard as a rock. Like Ihe others, Mr. Coolidge dutifully finished his portion. Then, turning to the guest, he commented: \Now this is what we should use on our roads!
