ketball season is over for this year.
Baseball practice will begin soon.
This brings to mind the question
which has arisen in various discus­
sions: "When is the baseball field
going to be laid out?” Those mounds
of dirt would play havoc with a ground
ball. And, unless something is done,
the first wind that comes along dur­
ing the summer will blow away ail the
topsoil.
The senior girls traveled to Detroit
for a volleyball and basketball game
with the girls of Detroit high. They
lost both games, a 40-30 verdict in
volleyball, and a 33-16 count in girls’
basketball. In the basketball game,

work preparing its spring concert.

parents of bandmembers and the gen­

It is popularly believed that
natural colors are purer and safer
m foods. This is not necessarily
true, scientists say. Artificial
colors are likely to be brighter,
more lasting, and may even be
safer, as they are required to come
up to government specifications
according to the pure food and
drug laws. There is no such
guarantee of purity for natural
coloring materials.
Bulge fought? Put it this way, then,

to fight the Battle of the Bulge, Not
