HALLOWE'EN FUN
Soaping windows, moving things, and generally having lots of fun-- that's Hallowe'en! and kids, let's try to keep it just fun.
Destroying property, puncturing tires, and letting people's livestock run loose isn't Hallowe'en fun. It's just plain mean. How would you like to have someone let the air out of your tires when you wanted to get somewhere in a hurry? It wouldn't be a very pleasant situation and it isn't very pleasant for someone else either.
You have probably read in the papers that if minors are caught damaging someone's property, their parents have to take the blame. So officials are urging parents to caution their children about pulling dangerous pranks. Let's co-operate with Mother and Dad and try to have a Hallowe'en of fun for everybody and destruction for no one.
BAND BENEFIT- MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN
Friday afternoon the man from the Curtis Magazine Company was here to start us on our Magazine sales campaign. The school was divided into two sides, the Freshmen and Juniors on one side and the Sophomores and Seniors on the other.
Monday morning $1 [?] was given to Gene Conrady for selling the most magazines over the week-end. On thursday morning Loren received a box of Almond Herseys for turning in the most money that day. Today a similar prize was won by Marilyn K.
The Magazine sales will end on Friday, November 4. The grand prize winner will have his choice of one of three prizes, a watch, a radio, or a Parker "51" pen and pencil set. So come on kids, let's get out and SELL! SELL! SELL!

RUBINOFF PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCE
About 25 students and teachers went to Lincoln Monday afternoon to hear David Rubinoff. He is the world's greatest violinist, as everyone that went realized.
He played several classical pieces which everyone enjoyed. The two favorites of the day were "Don't Fence Me In," which really brought the laughs and "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life," which brought the "Ah's" from most of the teenagers.
Rubinoff introduced his little "redheaded" son, who is five years old.
Rubinoff's accompanist played a few numbers. The best liked was "Etude in Boogie Woogie", which I'm sure everyone enjoyed.
The concert lasted for about an hour so that everyone could be home early-- but were they?
SOPHOMORE PARTY
The sophomores had a hamburger fry and dance, October 21 at Geneva Klokkenga's home. The hamburgers tasted very good although the sponsors had to fry them in the house. I'm sure everyone thought they tasted good especially that sophomore who ate 7 of them. the rest of the evening was spent dancing and drinking cider by some of the boys. Boys why didn't you pass it around? It seems that the most popular boy was Jimmy Kirchner. Everyone had a very enjoyable evening, even Johnny Myers, who cracked his head on the ceiling, but he said that it didn't hurt the ceiling.
