Dick, Flip, and Keith say that the Stags have a good chance to win, even though they placed Hartsburg-Emden second.
We think that the morals [sic] of the team is [sic] very low and the spirit is not what it should be.
We are happy to know that Keith will be playing again after being out with a sprained ankle.
George Lolling says that Hartsburg-Emden will play New Holland in the finals, but the game will be a much better played game than the one at New Holland, but New Holland will win by a small margin.

WHY IS IT!!
That a certain girl on the Emden bus always wants to sit in the front seat. Is it because of the bus driver or Bob G.?
That Arlene and John pick Main Street for their ____________?
That a certain freshman girl can't make up her mind between upper classmen? What about it Janet?
That Billy never pays attention in Bookkeeping. How about it Shirley?
That Bob Gardner couldn't get his car started at Alberta's the other night?
That Harold Jeckel insists upon going to the show on Sunday nights alone?
That Janet W. likes to turn corners too fast in Kenneth's HUdson?
That Dickie F. is always going into the English room? (Want an A, Dickie?)
**************************
Say Winifred, what is this we hear about you and Ralph Newby sitting on the bus together?
There is a certain sophomore girl that wants to go with Dea McMath. Know anything about it, Lyrna?
How do the sophomore girls like the new Biology teacher?
The Big Question? Does Kenneth prefer "Chuckie" to Janet?
We hear that Miss Berninger has been telling English III she has never been on a honeymoon. What about it Miss B.?
The junior class has two good??? businessmen. How about it Bill and Lorney?
What do Donald and Betty Gail do on Saturday nights? Are those Bradley games interesting?
We wonder why two senior boys had to settle an argument with boxing gloves.
We wonder how Marian and Kay managed to be so quiet in English.
We wonder why Joe West said to his mother, "Mom, is Mrs. West there?"

Can You Imagine
Can you imagine all of the students getting an A on their semester tests.
Can yous imagine Junior girls[?] not wearing their purple sweater's on the same day.
Can you imagine the seniors all being able to attend a class meeting at the same time.
Can you imagine Arlene being out with John Bergman 10 nights in a row.
Can you imagine Loretta Fink not wanting to accept an A in typing. (Maybe it's because she wants to keep her straight B average.)
Can you imagine a certain senior betting $100 that he missed no more than three questions in American History.
