On Mondays, the characters are cast and on Friday the scenes are presented to the class. Two scenes are presented and all members of the class participate. Each students gets a a chance to direct a scene. one group of actors practices in the lounge and the other in the English room. Parts are supposed to be memorized and some stage properties are used.
The type of plays from which the scenes are taken have been comedies. Some romance in included and Dickie Gardner is the "Great Lover." All the students seem to be enjoying this unit of study (especially the romantic scenes) except for the grades they are receiving.

VARSITY SEES BRADLEY BRAVES BEAT UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII
The Stags attended the Bradley vs. University of Hawaii game on February 9 in Peoria. They were accompanied by Mr. Finchum and Mr. Ryan and made the trip in a school bus driven by George Lolling.
Three Stags, namely, Dick Gardner, Don Wagner, and Keith Williams had the privilege of meeting the Bradley team after the game. Mr. Finchum introduced them to Forty Anderson and Coach Anderson in return introduced his Bradley Braves to them, except Melchorie who left early. and missed our on this interesting experience.
The boys sympathized with the announcers who had to pronounce the names of the Hawaiian players. They were highly impressed with the fine skill of the Bradley team. They said, "If you want to see some really good basketball, see Bradley." They wondered why Robertson's Field House wouldn't be an excellent place to play the State Tournament.

GOSSIP
Why did the photographer tell Marian to pull down her skirt before he took the F.H.A. picture?
We hear that Jane S. and Harry H. h ave a new romance.
Did the Junior boys get rabbits on their midnight hunt?
We hear that Keith can sing very well. Maybe we could use him as soloist at the Prom.
Why did Norman have such a time thinking up a poem about women?
Mr. Finchum says that the gossip writers missed the biggest scoop of the week for our last issue--He took the Sociology and Civics classes to Lincoln State School and Colony and all of them came back.
What's this we hear about Hazel Ann's "Perfect Crime." Ever tried it, Hazel?
We hear Patty W. is allergic to trucks.
We wonder where Lorenie gets his imagination, especially his story, with the green-faced, red-eared, white-nosed, purple-eyed, yellow-blooded, 40-foot monster. Horrors!
If anyone wishes to know what kind of a time the Juniors had at the party, ask Mr. Wrage. He says "They ------------!!!"
We hear that Marg B. likes to go to Emden because of Emden boys. Is that so, Marg?
We hear that some of the girls think Norman H. is quite handsome with those new glasses. Especially one senior.
We wonder if John B. still considers himself a student.
Can't you just see Bob G. drinking a malted milk in Home Ec. class made out of flour and water? Is that a new recipe?
FAME AND SHAME
SHAME on Coach Finchum for taking the basketball boys to Bradley the night before we played Beason.
SHAME on Miss Berninger for telling the Juniors to write a poem or a story.
[page 6, column 2]
JUNIOR PARTY
The Clarence Wrage home was the scene of the Junior Class Party last Wednesday evening. If you noticed a lot of sleepy Juniors last Thursday, this was the reason.
There were twenty-six class members present and the chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Lehnard Grussing and the Clarences Wrages. Linda Wrage was quite a popular girl at the party.
During the evening games were played and later dancing was enjoyed. Near the end of the evening we were enteretained by Keith Williams who told us bed-time stories. Don't get the wrong idea he was telling them to Linda. A delicious lunch was served which consisted of ham salad sandwiches, potato chips, pop, and ice cream. The Juniors wish to take this opportunity to thank the Wrages for the use of their home.
A GIRL'S FIRST DATE
Here I sit in silent bliss,
Waiting for a little kiss;
As we sit in the back porch swing,
I'm sure he feels just like a King.
He sits there with his hands in his pockets,
And tells me about the new sky rockets;
He acts sort of perplexed,
I don't think he knows what to do next.
Finally he gets a little brave,
And I have to make him behave;
He just took off on the run!!
Here comes Dad with the shot gun!!!
--Keith Williams
FAME to the Junior sponsors for not going to the Junior party.
FAME to the girls who stayed awake the next day after the slumber party.
FAME to the Wrages and Grussings for being such nice chaperones.
