Miss Jeffery VOL. 4 No. 4r EDITORIAL Ifack in the years when-the pre- «ent seniors and juniors were mere; undcrclassnien, they wore forced by their superiors, wlto-wvirc back ed by strong tradition, lo use thc side stairways before and after school hours. Each time they were removed bodily from tho ccntcr stairway, they eagerly looked for ward to the day when thoy might enjoy tho privilege of commanding their Inferiors in this manner! But, now that the time has come, thc upper classmen are not enforcing this rule as much as thoy might. Each morning before school, un derclassman can be scon happily ambling up and down tho center atairway, in bold dcfiance of tho rule. If, in tho course of their crlmo they chanco to meet a senior or junior ascending', they merely nod \III1' and continue blissfully upon their courso. That Is thc time whon on upper classman should go into action, and forco tho offendors to got olf the stairs. If one or two groups of people could watch for offenders each day, ,tho under-grads might some day learn that thc upperclassmen mean to make them obey thc rules. In tho years to come, when tho offenders have gained their privileges, thoy will feel thc same as tho presont top classes do— that they have earned a privilege which should bo theirs exclusive- ly. ---- ---- o ------- - SENIORS COLLECT PAPERS Ilavo you any old papers around tho house, that arc just in your way?

What do we mean? Well, it's liko this. When at the. “happy-go-lucky” stage in life, from nine years of ugc to twelve .yearn, there were ways in which we' could entertain ourselves The boys liked a rough and tumbling game of '\Cowboys and Indians\ while the girls had “dress up” and papor dolls with which to play. There was also the park, with swings and slides, where time might be spent in the company of playmates. Suddonly, wo realized that we wero sliding away from thoso oc cuputions as new children drifted into our old places. This is our presents predicament. Wo are standing as onlookers; wo arc lost. Why are wo lost? We have nothing? to do for recreation with our friends; w* don’t call them playmates anymore. All adults living - in this town wero our ago at one time. Thay must know by oxperlonco th»t after home-work is done, girls and boys from tho ages of fourteen to eighteen dosire good wholesome fun. Cards and games are enjoy able for a while, but how can we discharge any of our excess en ergy in thoso games? Wo like action! ! The bowling alloy furnishes a small amount of amusement to tho boys; there is thc local theatre for boys and girls, but thirty cents is expen sive for one evening. Our small allowances aro rather hollow after two evenings In the cinema. Danc ing is out of our favorite sports, but at present we have no place to dance. Won’t somo one take up our cause and furnish us with a room, a coke machine, and a “jute-box”.

Be cause .we haver a few' outstanding bills, ft will soon dwindle to a Jess substantial sum. -“ Kitty” Griener was assigned the task of securing copies of our constitution so that every council member may have a copy. Marge Wilbur was given the task of se curing, sometime in the near fu ture, 'a framed copy of this consti tution to .be hung in the school lobby ' \where all m&y study it more thoroughly. Because Bob Lowe was elected President of the Student Associa tion, ho no- longer has a vote at council meetings.

Though it seemed we discussed little at last Wednesday’s -meet ing, 'on paper the report shows contributing to school govern ment. THROUGH THE KEYHOLE Mary Thorn has given parties which have attracted fellows of local importance. Bill Hill, Don Moore, Don McGuire and Dave Scribner have all been seen at these social functions. Karl Lebrecht seems to be at odds with tho world They tell us thnt he has overcome some of his former Bhyncss. Wo.wonder whether Bev Cutter has sent her bundle to Britain yet, Bernie Downey, it is rumored, BE HOME AT MIDNIGHT The .dramatics club, under the direction of Miss Butler, is plan ning to present 'a play called \Be Home at Midnight,\ which por trays another incident in the life of thc family about which we learned last year. The family, father, mother, big sister and bro ther, and junior, now grapple with the problem of getting the young sters in at midnight. Tho five actors in this play are Basil Fleming, John Lagana, Fin-, ley Hunt, Elizabeth Clapp and Dorothy Gleason. The other seven members of the club are prepar ing another play. Miss Butler' says tho students show reluctance to joining dramatics for fear they would not be good enough. As -this is organized for amateurs, this fear is un-necessary. ----------o ----------- STUDENT COUNCIL HANDLES BUSINESS A t last our school is to have the trophy case it has wanted so long. With the money presented as a class gift by the class of 1941 plus the balance to be supplied by the Student Council we shall have this to be placod in the lobby of school. Under Mr. Shepard’s di rection We hope to have it com pleted in time for the first bas ketball game. In connection with basketball games, council members discusscd two other issues. First was the question of whether or not danc ing after basketball games could bo extended from 1100 to 12.00. It was decided to try this ^ out; however. It must also be remem bered thc janitor must receive some remuneration for staying so late. Second issue was the idea of stamping thc hands of those who come to basketball games, to’TTTC- CHOICE BITS Mary Thom has been enter taining the “younger set” lately with numerous parties. How about it, Dinty and Karl? Even the “younger set” has taken to courtin’. We have evi dence of this in Chris aitfPsth^* We wonder what Izzy spends her mbney on these days? Will that bet with Jack last till Christmas? It seems that Jake E. and Chuck Burr are fighting over a picture of Mad. Ryan. Jake is very eager about the outcome. Barbara Poyzer was seen with six young men, among whom were Doyle Denosky and the Anderson Brothers. What made Gladys Crosby* stag ger after seeing “Dr. Jekyll and' Mr. Hyde?” Was it the movie or Al? Bev Lynch and Barb Darling are frequent visitors at the local theatre. Don’t keep us in the dark, girls! Who are your escorts? We hear that Brad Griffith is pining his heart away for Lor raine. Did you ever hear of let ters and stamps, Lorraine? Since Don Cullen has been grad uated, he has dropped the simple word “Hello” from his fluent vo cabulary. ---------- o ----------- PALMYRA TOPPLES PHELPS 40-0 For their second consecutive win of the season, last Friday, Palmyra rolled over an out matched Phelps squad to the tune of 40-0. Never encountering a ser ious threat, the Palmyra gridders coasted to an easy victory. With aerial thrusts accounting for four of the six touchdowns, Palmyra’s attack moved forward incpssant- ly. The first half found the locals taking an early lead as a pss from Crowley to Wilbur resulted in first blood for the invaders. Cullen's 60 yard-run -coupled with two other scoring pass plays accounted far the 26-0 lead at the end of the second period. Crowley’s long runs team, which, saw plenty of action, also played an important part in the game as they 'kept their goal- uncrossed.\ • c \ Wilbur ^suffered the team’s only injury aija. will present a serious loss to-the team’s fbrward vJaU.,. Next week Wednesday, -Dundee invades Palmyra to test the locals.

Title: Ramona Author: Helen Hqnt Jackson The story begins with sheep- shearing tim& in Southern Cali fornia at the place of Senora Mar- ena. Because Senora Marena’s son, Felipe, was ill, and because Fath er Salvierden^ hadn't arrived yet, the Senora decided to put gff the shearing, against the w{ll of Juan Can. Finally Felipe became better, and the Father arrived, so tlie band of Indians Were sent for. The leader -of the band was Alessandro, who was very young -and—seeing—Ramona^—i immediately fell in love with her. The mys tery of Ramona's younger life was not revealed until the last of the story. She, herself, knew only that Senora Marena had taken her in for her sister, and that her sis ter had adopted her. Because the Senora knew all about Ramona, she treated her rather unkind ly. Nevertheless, Ramona was of such a type that she carried on, never complaining. Felipe some what felt the way his mother was treating her, but dared not speak to her about it. Alessandro was asked to stay on longer because Felipe had a relapse, and could not get out of bed to attend to the estate. As time went on, Alessandro fell more deeply in love with Ramona, and likewise, Ramona, fell in love with him. One night, after he had sung for Felipe, he and Ra mona went out near the willows ’to talk. Just as he asked her to marry him, Senora Marena came along. Being very strict, she im mediately sent Ramona to her room, locked her in, and forbade her to speak to Felipe about this, Horror-stricken, Ramona re luctantly went to her room, and sat there waiting for the time when she could tell Senora she was going to marry Alessandro. The time soon'came, and natural ly, Senora absolutely forbade her to speak of marrying the Indian, but Ramona, not caring what she said, told her that nothing could stop her, even Father Salvier- derra. Very angry, she went away to ^console Felipe, who told her that the best thing to do Was to let Ramona marry Alessandro if she wished it so. Soon the Sonora had ‘influenced Felipe to order the man away. But this djdn’t seem to help matters at all, for Ramona was all the more determined to go away and seek her loved one. Thus, leaving h'er foster mother and Felipe, she set out looking for Alessandro. Time passed on, and one day, when she was tired and sick, she found him, practically the same way. He told her that his fam ily had lost everything, and that he did not dare to come back. rfian'aged to'be content. Biick at the plantation, Senora Marena was getting—>old, and • suddenly died, leaving po6r„.!B’elipe alone Felipe, who had always loved Ramona, went out to find her* and Alessandro.'

Felipe at once,..set out fo r , Ramona, ak though she did not love him .as much as sh6 did Alessandro, con sented. They both moved back to the old place, where they brought up their own children, but of all the children, the “Indian’s” child was favored the most. I t was lat er discovered that Ramona, her self was part Indian. This ends the story of “ Ra mona,” one of the best books, I believe, I have ever read.
