THANK YOU, MK. NANCE!
Now that the school year la drawing near its close, the students
are beginning to reflect on the past activities, classes, and student
affairs and extend honor and gratitude where such should be bestowed.
Many of the teachers and students quite obviously stand out as de
serving praise for the things they have done to make the year success
ful, but many deserving people may receive little or no thanks for
their contriDution to a prosperous year. One person in the latter group
who instantly comes to our minds is our Janitor, Mr. Nance.
Each day when we come to school we take for granted that we
will enter a warm building, but few of us stop to consider that some
one must have had to build the fire very early to provide that warmth.
Perhaps if the building was cold a few mornings we would appreciate
this act of Mr. Nance a little more.
Several times each year Mr. Nance is called upon to get out of
his warm bed at some outlandish hour of the night to turn out a light
or lock a window or door thai some negligent teacher or student has
left undone. We hear of this very seldom because It is done uncom
plainingly by our janitor. Peibaps If we were compelled to do it one
of these cold nights we might appreciate Mr. Nance's action more.
One play has already beta given this year and another will soon
be started. The building doesn't Just happen to be warm and ready
for night and Saturday rehearsals which often are held on short no
tice. Some one must do extra work to provide that comfort. Perhaps
if we were asked to do it we would appreciate Mr. Nance's services
more.
Many times each week a teacher or a student will ask Mr. Nance
to do some little task for hin. or her. Each individual act takes little
time, but the combined services require a great deal. Perhaps if we
were called upon to do a few of these numerous small requests we
would appreciate Mr. nance's contribution to our activities more.
We could go on enumerating the services daily performed by Mr.
Nance, but we know that if we will stop and think a minute we can
nut fail to remember them.
To our janitor on behalf of the Rogue News staff and the entire
student body we express our gratitude. We might wish to write an
elegant composition to do this but we are sure he knows nothing could
be more sincere than our "THANK YOU, MR. NANCE!" P. W.
THANKS TO MISS BRASTED!
There is one organization in our school that does much to keep
alive the school spirit but receives much less publicity and praise than
either the football or basketball teams. That group of girls making up
the drill team entertains the spectators during the half period of both
fall and spring athletic contests.
The forty girls and the three baton-twirling majorettes under the
direction of Miss June B rasted have put on many fine exhibitions. Miss
Brasted is to be commer.deC for the splendid work she has done in
" getting the girls to work as a unit, a goal for which all organizations
of this type strive. "Cricket," as the girls call her, put in a lot of
time arranging a different drill for each game and we all want to
thank her for the time spent and hope she will have a still more suc
cessful drill team next year. L. R.
BOUQUETS TO THE GRIZZLIES!
We would like to take this opportunity to say "Hats off to our
Grizzlies!" Kids, you've done a swell job. Teachers, student body,
townspeople and Quarterbacks all are proud of you and are backing
you 100 percent. You've sailed through with more than your share of
wins and you're good winters. But we think there's something
more important than being good winners that's being good losers,
and that's what our Grizzlies are. You've fought a good fight, you've
proved yourself the beet bunch of good sports we've seen in a long
time, you've practiced and trained like troopers, and we're proud of
you. The years that are passed have been successful, but it's the future
we must now look forward to. And we know you'll carry on Just as
you have before.
And we want to extend special congratulations to our senior Grizz
lies, who will graduate this spring. Many of them have played three
years for AHS; some hnvti.g played before in junior high. Whatever
the case may be, our C-rizzlits deserve plenty of bouquets, and may
we speak for all the rooters "Hats off to the Grizzlies!"

Manv times VP hpflr ntiirion
complain about their stiff courses
and overdose of home work. 1o
these pou. zouu we offer this
classic example ot a perfectly
planned program of a typical sen
ior. First period is a masterpiece
of craftiness; you merely slip into
chorus and slumber with the se
curity of melodious ( ? J voices to
drown out your audible sleeping.
Second period finds you com
muning with nature in the biology
lab. Sometimes you are allowed to
take walks and go moss and slime
hunting on a spring day. By this
time you are able to prop one lid
open to enjoy the scenery.
After this bit of mental exer
tion, you are set for a strenuous
period of gym; a fast game of
ping pong. Oh me! Life is so
trying!!!
Noon time is spent in throwing
paper bags at one another and
hashing out the latest "dirt" with
anyone you can get to listen to
you.
Somewhere you have heard that
you should sleep after a meaL Ac
cordingly, study period follows
lunch so that you can relax, or
try to, when those vicious con
traptions called rubber bands
zoom by your head, (and a lot of
them don't!). If the situation gets
out of hand and there isn't a study
hall teacher in sight, you proceed
to grab a half dozen of the little
nuisances and oxidize them rapid
ly with a match. The delightful
odor of burning rubber follows
and it isn't surprising how soon
the class surrenders.
Fifth period and you rush to
the cooking room inorder to grab
someone's pie left to cool. Then
you wait around while your cook
ing partner makes the food for
the day and you show up to eat it.
Having been branded as a play
boy by your friends you are de
termined to make good your boast
as a scholar. As unbelieving eyes
look on you maich into the physics
lab in a moment of triumph. They
don't have to know that you've
flunked the course twice and you
are making a third attempt!
After this final ordeal is over
you make a grand rush, for the
front door. School is over for an
other day; that is, unless some
teacher grabs you on your way
out and asks about the test you
failed to make up! Trapped! so
you stumble wearily back into
school wondering "Oh, why was I
born?"
