Dennis O'Donnell Rick Johnston Donna Potter Proof reading Pam McCabe Roger Leonnlg Typing Jill Schmidt Advisor Mrs Rachel Dick That Time of the Year Again! It s about that time of year acain time for college students to head bv their various trails back home. And whatprav tell, may all the excitement and confusion be? Why, its Thanksgiv inc. of course! . , , . . Relatives and friends alike make it a special event they re not to soon forget. . When the f'nal bell has sounded for the meal, everyone makes a mad dash for the food. Usually they start with adults and work the way down, so by the time the food comes around to us It's onlv scraps that remain. There's only one way to overcome this problem Get more food! ... Bv the time Thanksgiving is completed the college students vanish back to college and the friends and relatives leave for their separate homes. Whether young or old, by the end of this eventful holiday, we are all far too tired or sick to worry about food. Vmil Christmas Day that is! Old Pop Machine Not Alone That noor old DOD machine is not alone in the hall any more. It seems that a newcomer has taken over the position as break period gathering place. Thic new mflrhine doesn't swll forth dod and ice into a cup it doesn't take the place of a healtniui meal at luncnume; it doesn't lend its products to some more of those mysterious ail ments that sometimes befall teenagers. Nope. No acne and tired blood from this machine! It gives out healthful, delicious, non fattening, homogenized, vitamin D-added, cold, foamy, Moo Juice. (Better known as milk.) Yes, now you can, by just depositing one thin dime into a machine in the hall, get milk, both plain and chocolate, or if you wish you can get an orange drink in a handy, plastic-coated carton. One thing is wrong, though; this monster does not take quar ters: Manv an aspiring milk drinker has had to go dry because he didn't "have change. It seems now that the most common greeting in the hall is, "Have you got change for a quarter?" Maybe we should have a change-making machine in the hall, too! Hehisch Expresses Gratitude The HEHISCH would like to extend a thank-you to Mr. Wes Sherman and his staff at the Gazette-Times for the wonderful job they have done on the past two issues of the HEHISCH. Our otaff is particularly proud of these papers since they are the first of this kind we have had published. We plan to have more issues like these once each month by alternating the dupli cated issues with those printed at the Gazette-Times. Due to the fact that the HEHISCH uses no advertising, we are on a low budget. Fortunately the Gazete-Times prints the HEHISCH at a rate which is much lower than most high schools which have printed publications must pay. The HEHISCH is again extremely grateful to the Gazette Times for the time, effort and guidance given in printing our paper.
