SNOW
Many plans made both by the
school and the student council were
ruined by all the snow. Since Friday
was the day our new President was
inaugurated, arrangements were
made for’us students to see this
history making event.
sets were set up in each gym and |
the class schedules were rearranged.
I hope all of our high school
students took time out to watch
both the inauguration and the
parade. As I watched the old re-
placing the new,
mind how this is what heppens
everyday. The younger are replac- |
ing the aged, the new is replacing
the old. Our lives are constantly
| changing and being changed by what
.| is happening around us.
As the new President took the |
oath, I could almost feel the excite-
ment in the air. The ceremony was
filled with the idealism that each
American should have toward his
beloved country, the United States!
ASSEMBLY
Dr. Meyers spoke on a very inter-
esting topic in assembly last Wed-
nesday; “Fun With Words.”
He told us, how through everyday
use, original pronounciation of
many words has been distorted. A
partial explanation was made of how
our words come into being. He also |
explained the many languages and |
said that every language is beauti-
ful.
Dr. Meyers proved to us that we
should “watch our language.”
NAVAL RESERVE
Chief * Shepard of the Naval Re-
| serve spoke to a group of boys last
m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through | GL y
Thursday. It was made up of Jun-
iors and Seniors interested in learn-
ing what the Navy has to offer them.
He told them of the waried
branches the Navy offers and ex-
Television
it came into my |
plained ‘the benefits during and
after navy training. The boys found
his talk informative and interesting.
SPORTS
Our wrestlers came through with
a 30 to 18 win over G. A. R. This
was to be a very close match since
we do have a fine team and are in
| first place, - After the middle of the
| match, our boys put on the steam
| and came through handsomely.
Our basketball team played Friday
night, even with all the snow. They
also came through with a win over
Sugar Notch. It was their first win
|in League play. Stay on the path of
victory boys!
BAND SPONSORS:
Lake-Lehman Band Sponsors met
| Tuesday at Lake building. Business
| concerned sweaters for the Seniors
who are graduating from the Band;

sale at Davenport’s Drug Store | in
Kingston February 18.
Members of the Sponsors will be
soliciting for Baked Goods from all
parents who are interested in seeing
the Band progress.
You will be asked to bake on the
seventeenth for collection that eve-

The names of all soliotiors and col-
lectors will appear next week in
| this column. Co-Chairmen are Mrs.
Floyd Hoover and Mrs. Elmer
Lackowski,
The Band Sponsors have pur-
chased a Voice Gun which John
Milauskas will use in ‘Band practice
every Monday night.
A Fund has been set aside for
uniforms. As you know the School
colors are black and gold and the
Band is the only unit that has not
been outfitted with the new colors.
We would like to have a good start
towards new uniforms as soon as
possible.

A senior resident, Lois Holzbach |

her brother was military aide to its |
planner. Twice he was caught by |
TV cameras’ close-ups: shaking |
hands with President Kennedy and |
talking with Robert Frost, poet, who
took part in the Inaugural program.
At Misericordia a TV set was in- |
stalled in the auditorium on campus |
through the arrangements of Sister’
Marianna, dean, so that the students
could view all Inaugural ceremonies. |
Though the heavy snow foiled her
plans (Sister Marianna had to sus-
pend classes for the day), the TV
set wasn't wasted. Residents merely
spread themselves between the TV
in the dorm and that in the audi-
torium. |
Some outdoorswomen decided
that an afternoon of skiing and spills
