Gordon Lane and his committee have been inspired with some extra special ideas for decorations, At first they were very closed-mouthed about the whole thing, but after a little pressure was exerted, he did tell us that the decorations will be blue and silver, with stars and moons all over the place. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it: The lunch committee is headed by Dolores Hamilton, she quite freely informed us that cup-cakes and pop will be served, Sounds even better than before. Nothing but superlatives serve to describe this\ biggest, best, prettiest, most wonderful dance. So we urge everyone to be at the Wing- ham Armouries on Thursday, Decem- ber 20. ,Around School by By "An Old Timer" (Catherine Heating Wel, folks, did ya, know thet thet there Wingham High School is gonna have another of them there Literary Meetin's purty soon? They have sum right good eclybrations down in the Town Meetin' Hall. They sing and play and recite and perform around, and their programmes is real inter- estin'. Ya know, ah never was much for makin' purty speeches but the presydint, John Lancaster, can speel off some mighty good yarns. High School also has a book or sump- in' that they call a "Journal". It contains some Inlay weird tales and side-splittin' jokes aboot everybody from here 'clean to Kalamazoo. The edytor of the "Journal" - is Gordon Lane; an' how he ever thinks of sum o' them edytorials is more than my pore brain will reckon up! An if ya want to hear all the latest gossip, was, there's a column in the Journal that takes care o' that too. It must be a woman that scratches up thet thar gossip cause no self-respectire man could ever fill his over-worked brain with stuff like that. When the whole High School gets into thet big Town Hall, it leaves plenty o' room for old-timers like you and me. I've bin at a Literary Meetin' and they sure 'are sumpin' to write home aboot! We'd like to see that Town Meetin' Hall plum full at the next meetin', Wednesday afternoon December 19th at 3 o'clock, Come one an' come all, an' don't fergit to bring yer Uncle Louis, too. He might enjoy seem' some o' them thar purty girls in Grade 13. Ah think ah'd bet- ter quit now 'cause ah hear Emma yellin' at me to git to work. Oh, she's a hard wife to get along with! So, we are going to have snow for Christmas after all. "Silent Night" and "Jingle Bells" never do sound right without the snow do they? Once again we are tramping up the hill, through mountainous snowdrifts and we feel icy Arctic winds blowing in our faces. We huff and puff under the weight of dozens of books and heavy winter coats. We proceed outside to be greeted by snowballs and we slip, slide and slither down the hill. Oh, what cheerful thoughts we town kids have when we see snow falling in Wingham! But, Christmas snow and we last-minute shop- pers don't mind it either, It \gives us More of the Christmas spirit (spirit just wouldn't be Christmas without of Christmas, that is.) Now, as I tackle a Geometry ques- tion, I find myself humming some- thing about "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow The Old-Times Talks Wel, folks do yuh recllect that I was talking aboot Literary meetin's? Wal, I found out that the High School is havin' another one this very aft' noon..If Emma')) let me off ehoppin' this durn wood, shore be there too, By the way, folks the High School is puttin' on the biggest jamboree in the Armouries tomorrow night. They call it a dance but I'd call it a shin- dig. Emma and me is shore gain'. Emma said she' haft' git a long dress so I dug out the dress my granmaw was married in. Emma looks real purty and I know she'll be the "Mlle of the ball". The band or ochestry is real musical too. Personally I think Uncle Louis with his Harmonicy is jist as good, but nothin' is too good for Wingham High School. Question of the Week! Who is taking whom to the dance Thursday night? Leff Here The Magna Charta said that the King was not to order taxis without the consent of Parliament. Miss Heard: What did the Spartan mother say to her son? Cliff Coultes: Return with your shield or pawn it. Definitions: A corps is a dead gentleman, a corpse is a dead lady. A sinister is an old maid. A skeleton is a man with his inside out and his outside off. Tantrum is a two seated bicycle. Battle of the Century By Jolm Hanna The crowd roared and all eyes turn- ed to the hallway leading to the cata- combs at the Wingham Armoury. It was Thursday afternoon, December 13, the day of the opening basketball game of the 1951-52 season. It was to be an exhibition affair between the W.D.H.S. teaching staff "Cripples" and the H.S. senior entry in the H.S. S.A. This year's large student body filled the armoury to overflowing and even floor space was at a minimum. However, at this moment all eyes were on this strange conglomeration of humanity emerging from. the dress- ing room. Cries of "Oooh ,there's old Mr. Vogan," "lookit Higenell," "that little guy is Martin;" "old Fergie." "I hear Mr. Jackson is pretty good." Suddenly all is quiet; it is the moment before the jump. Tweet, tweet! The ball and two centres are in the air and the battle of the century is on. Play rages back and forth. The roar of , the student is drowned out by the puffing of the "fast-limping" cripples, A group of students? in the balcony (probably looking for some extra marks) organize a cheering section and yell "C'morn Cripples," Manager Porter of the senior team paces back and forth shouting orders to his charges. Some of the more" self con- scious" staff, or should we say "smarter ones," have resigned themselves to a spectator role. An- other prominent member "Tooter MS- dill," horn and stopwatch in hand has undertaken the job of timer so he can be near the Seniors bench and I hear their plans of attack which he relays to the "Cripples" at every op- portunity. A mighty roar; several spectators faInt and also one player; Mr. Martin has made a basket! The spectators begin to complain loudly that they Cannot hear the whistle due to the "Cripples" heavy breathing but at last the horn ends the game, The tense Moment has arrived, "Who is the winner?" Everyone has gathered about the chief scorer, timer and spy Mr. Madill, who is beginning to turn very red! Finally he announces the score: Cripples 16—Seniors ID. He is mobbed by angry students—Oops forgot the last basket,; Seniors 17-- Cripples 16, He makes for he door— never knew that man could run so fast! Smokers' Sundries the welcome gifts G.B.D.
