Schwabe Earns Letter;
First Since Chapman
Small yes! But can she swim! That’s
Beryle Schwabe, the second girl of Nilehi
to have earned a swim letter. The pre
vious letter was awarded to Dolores
Chapman in 1944.
Beryle has participated in four water
carnivals. According to Miss Mildred
Schaefer, head of the girls’ physical
education department, the swimming
award may be earned by the possession
of an American Red Cross Swimmer’s
Card, and the passing of three dives
which must include the following: 1.
Swan or front jack-knife, 2. back dive or
back jack-knife, and an optional dive.

An ostrogoth is a man of the tribe

none of these poor little waifs knew that,
so most of them just said “huh?!” or

Some of them, however, took a guess,
and- here are the quaint results.
Janet Larson — “I’di throw my arms
around it and kiss it.”
Dick Swanson — “I’d pick it up and
eat it.” (box and all, Dick?)
Frances Monahan — “Take it home
and give it a bath.”
Carol Krause — “I’d play with it.”
Earle Carlson — “There aren’t any
more of them!” (smart guy!)
Jerrie Rockow — “The Cannibal Kid,”
“I ’d eat it.”
Howard Haynie — “Run for the

Gloria Malnick — “I ’d fry it in onions.”
(such a meat shortage!)
Dolores Lauth — “I ’d throw it in the

Bill Todd — “I guess I’d beat my little
brother bloody with it.” (ah, brotherly

Gene Huber — “I don’t know, but I
wouldn’t eat it.”
Marilyn Pearson — “Wrap it up and
give it to Billy.”
Bob Force — “I ’d pick it up and throw
it in the lake so it wouldn’t explode.”
Jackie Conard — “I’d give it a kiss
and a hug. I t’s the only thing Bob
wouldn’t be jealous of.”
Howie “Dimples’’ Korsmo — “I’d give
it to Frances,” (after looking it up in
a dictionary, he decided to give it to a
museum.)
Patti Norum — “I’d keep it as a pet.”
(think you could train him?)
Don Falknor — “I’d take it to a fur

“Ellie” Nilson — “I’d give it to Gene.”
Jim McNeely — “Take it home to my
ma.”
Bill Witte— “Take it to the hospital

Lane Chosen Hurler
For All-Star Game
John Lane, Trojan pitcher, was chosen
along with Don Voss, Leyden catcher,
to represent the Northeast Conference
in the all-star high-school baseball game
to be played Monday afternoon, July 1,
at Wrigley Field.
The game, sponsored by the Chicago
Herald American, will be played as the
second half of a double-header, with the
Cubs meeting the Pittsburg Pirates in
the opener at 1:30. %
Lane and Voss make up the North
east Conference’s allotment of two play
ers on the Chicago Area All-Stars who
will meet the City League All-Stars.
They were the first players named for
this big event.
The Trojan right-hander is one of the

championship last Tuesday when he

With the “beloved” game of soccer
going full blast in the boy’s intramural
classes, it sems only fair to give it
worthy mention for the wild and rugged
fame it has achieved out there on the
gym field where according to our infor
mation, the “strong” only survive.
The game is probably the most amus
ing to watch because of its knock-downand-drag- out effects, which definitely
hold the onlooker’s interest.
To end the bowling tournament last
Wednesday, Janet Mac Cleary bowled‘a
nice big 196. That’s not for two games
either, just one. For her other game
she made 163, making an average for
the day of 179.
The team winning the tournament
consisted of Charmaine Valkenaar, La
Verne „Kellen, Dolores Paulson, Marilyn
Lee, and Jane Taylor. Prizes will be
awarded at the next GAA mass meeting.
The boys are entering the finals in
their classes and the championship play
offs will be set for nexv week. After
the soccer playoffs, Mr. Isaacson plans
to have the boys do a “little” running
in trying their art at track with com
petitive racing. Of course, the guys
think of this as a very excellent way of
winding up the year.
In the girls’ gym classes, they are
once again playing baseball. Ninth period
