SOCIAL NEWS—
The Letterman, GAAA banquet
was a great success. Wednesday
November 24 the two organizations
gave a duck dinner inviting the fac­
ulty members. With the help of all
and especially Mr. Hollenberg, the
food was prepared and ready to
serve at seven-thirty.
The center piece of the table was
a lake with the tulleys around the
water’s edge and thedogs ready for
service at either corner. A duck lay
in the center of the glass pond and
several were placed down the length
of the table.
The Lettermen were the waiters
with the assisstance of the GAA
girls in the kitchen.
Mr. Hollenberg, the toastmaster,
spoke on the goed showing of the
football team and then called on
different persons.
Of course no one knew ahead of
time that he cr she was to talk so
it was all at a moment's notice.
Mrs. Young—was asked to give us
the attitude and kind of appetite Mr.
Young, the coach, had before and
after games.
Mr. Parr, assistant coach, was the
entertaining talker of the evening.
We have a faint suspicion th a t he
might have been prepared.
Hustcn Wilson seemed to be hav­
ing an enjoyoble time at the far end
of the table so Mr. Hollenberg call­
ed on him.
Claude Patterson told us of his
disappointment when he heard that
he would be unable to attend Nyssa
high. He came to Nyssa and was an
outstanding football player.
Milton Schneiter told what he
thought of the Nyssa school since he
reurned.
Luella Lueck tcld us the real
meaning of the Girls organization
and its purpose.
Joyce Ashcraft and Floy Byram
sang “Blue Hawaii”, accompanied by
Mrs. Young.
Jack McKee, the Letterman presi­
dent gave an interesting talk of the
cooperation of the two clubs and
Mr. Hollenberg making it possible
for the banquet to be given.
Edward Boydell, a true example of
public speaking, spoke with a spirit
on “We’U Win.”
Ruth Flanary, couln't remember
a summary cf the reading “Work
while you work, and play while you
play.”
Vicla Pullen, president of the GAA
mentioned that the two organiza­
tions should get together in mere
social functions, and that everyone
seemed to be having a good time.
Mr. Young, the coach, and ad-
vis: r Of the N club, was more ser-

ious and thanked Mr. Hollenberg for
cooking the duck and helping In the
kitchen. Mr. Young said, he had a
long speech written out but decided
to tear It up for a more shert orig­
inal one.
Floy and Joyce sang “Veinl Velnl”
with Mrs. Young accompanying.
There were several group songs,
sung through the evening and the
pregram concluded with the school
song.
Jack appointed a large committee
of boys to do the dishes, but, for the
feminine touch, two girls helped
wash them.

the next time he takes me out. And
th at wouldn’t be right.
You see, he always promises the
old man th at If he can take me out
he’ll be very careful, but as soon as
he gets out of sight—well. It’s te r­

across an Intersection in town here
and liked to scared me to death. We
just missed a couple of other cars
and almost skidded into a post.
My brakes don’t all catch at the
same time. L t’s all right If he’s care­

down too quick. My horn’s on the
blink, too, on account of his playing
