THE AMERICAN CULTURE CLASSES

RED LETTER DAY IS FRIDAY AT ADAMS

Perh aps you have wonder ed why there seems to be so many boys wearing red school sweat er s on Fridays. Th ese boys belong to th e newly formed club , th e Monogram Club, which meets on Frida y . It is basically a servic e club. To become a member , it is necessary to have won a sweater in any sport her e at Adams .

to help new st udents become bett er acquainted with school.

ADAMS' TEACHERS HOLD DISCUSSION GROUPS

TO AIR PROBLEMS

At times even teac hers are re-luctant to express themse lves free-ly in lar ge meetings. To counter act this feeling at Adams, if there is one, Mr. Sargent discussed the poss ibility of dividing the faculty int o sm all discussion gr oups for t he pur pose of hav ing them expr ess them s~l ves free ly about mutual problems , irritat ing practices, or any o t h e r item that could be thought of that further considera-tion migh t p r o v e profi t able t o Adams .

Th e first in a series of meeti ngs was held F ebtuary 12. Since that tim e th e four groups have been meeting at regular intervals and th e discussion is muc h, and quit e heated at tim es.

F rom all of this it is hoped a bet ter A d a m s will develop. All r ecommendations are to be in t o Mr. Sargent by the end of April so they can be cons idered before th e program for next year is plan-ned.

Courtesy Is Essential We have gigantic machines that turn out more work in an hour than

hundreds of men could turn out in a month. They are very powerful and their accomplishment are a lmost beyond our comprehension. Each part is specially made and put in place by people who know just how it must be done. Each part has a very special function, and it must be so that it in no way impairs the smooth running of the rest of the machin e. These parts are kept well oiled so as to prevent as much friction as

• possible. The more friction ther e is present means a less amount of efficiency.

Human beings are the greatest and most complex machinery ever made, and when many of them are put together they are capable of sur-mounting almost unbelievable obstacles. They are capable , however , only if, like the machine, all parts run smoothly with only a minimum of friction. When they start stepping on one another's toes , and treating each other like dirt under tl\eir feet , and fighting among th emselves, they are no longer capable of anything constructive.

Someone has said , "Courtesy is like the oil on the parts of a machine. With out it , the metal is usel ess junk." People are that way too.

IMPRESSIONS OF THE GLEE CLUB

BY SOPH MEMBERS

The senior often wonders what the sophomore thinks of Glee Club. He wonders if the sophomore's at-titude is the same as his and if the sophomore is appreciative in th e same sense as he . To answ er this question, a few sophomores wer e interviewed. Their m a i n impres-sions are related below.

They were happy to find th~t they were treated as equals. They were introduced to the g roup and acknowledged a s full-fledged mem · bers. No one seemed lo resent them because they were sophomores, in fact, they were even helped along by the older ones. They were no t depr ived o f the right lo express thei r opinion, whether good or bad. They didn ' t feel like sophomores at all.

The new sophomores were impreued by the complete coherence of all members. Everyone worked togethe r and not as individuals. There seemed to be no sign of personal gripes affect -ing the spirit of the organization.

They liked the attitude among members that there is always room for improvement. No one ever seemed to get conceited or too sa tisfied with the results of a song. They tho ught of cr i. ticism as being helpful and not as a sign of sco ldin g.

They realized it was quite a jump from junior-high-glee-club to high-school,glee,club ... There was a greate r variety of music, some of which was hard to understan d . The songs were on a highe r level and they liked the results.

There were a few other minor impress ions , but the ma in ones have been listed. The seni or thinks a lot of the s~homo re in G lee C lub. He hopes that the future senio r will keep the G lee

C lub a fav ora ble impr ession to the future sopho· more.

DOESN'T IT GET YOUR GOAT WHEN

Someone breaks an appointment that they made , or worse still, doesn't show up? '

Someone crowds ahead of you in line?

The people who copy get all the A's? '

A teacher gives you an over-night load of homework and then remarks the next day , "You look tired, you should get more sleep" ?

Someone stands around and talks about "catty" people who get on their nerves?

When a setlior tells a junior, "I think almost as much of a junior as I do a Sf>phomore" ?

When you hear someone tell a joke which you just told them?

Someone starts to tell you some-thing and they won 't finish it?

People treat you like a baby and expect you to act grown-up?

People tell you one thing and someone else another?

Your whole class gets docked because of some joker's foolish-ness?

People jump on you because you can't be three different places at once? ,

You Tower writers get dogged for an assignment that isn't used in the end?

THE VOICE OF THE ADAMS STUDENT

Question-What is your opin-ion on the matt er of going steady?

Carol Cormican-Should I go steady is a quest ion

which you can't ans wer with one sent ence and yet to be suitable for everyone. I believe it depends on the individual and no one else. To be for, an example , a gir l who is happy with only one fellow and has gone with other boys enough to know what she want s. This person is qualified to go stea dy. Take on the other hand a girl who gets mad every time her boy-friend goes out with his buddi es inst ead of her or one who becomes jea lous every time he would speak to another girl or who couldn't wait for him a couple week or so if he happen ed to go away. This sort of person should not go steady . Going steady isn't exactly the sign that you are going to get married. I agree it is a good trial, if you are old enough to think of marriage, to get to know each other bett er . If you're asked to go steady, don't say y'es rig ht off the bat, because it would make you feel proud to tell your friends, but t h i n k it over for awhile. Doris Jean Eberhardtr--

I believe th at going steady is like any th ing else; it has its place and should stay th ere. As high school stud ents we should know when to mak e love to our steady and th at it doesn't look good to walk down the halls with our arms around each other. I know from ta lking to otheJ' students tha t anyt hing that is hated in school ar e two "movie lovers". Going steady has to be put on a fifty-fifty deal. I feel that no boy or girl should go steady and then go out with other people. Neith er do I believe that a person should t hink that t hey are going steady without letting the other per:::on in on it.

Not a Cure A try ing and fligh ty patient not

long ago as ked th e doctor how soon she would know anything af-ter she came out of th e anaestheti c.

"We ll," he replied, "that's ex-pecting a good deal of an anaesthe-tic."

It ta kes 3,000 bolts to hold a truck together but only one nut to scatter it all over t he country- · side.

Toget her sometimes: Dick Lee and a very pretty blond girl , La Mar Worley and Wanda Smit h, Don Phillips and Jeanette Ja~kson.

Together most of the time : Bob Bartz and Mary Ann Pordon.

Together constantly: Tom Kirk-patri ck and Pat Smith.

Not together as much any more: John Horni.rig and llyra Roberts.

Mary Jane Mull has finally de-cided that she prefers Bud (Centr al Alumnus) to Chet (a mari ne).

TWO ADAMS STUDENTS RELATE EXPERIENCES I BOB WAECHTER SEES

MARDI GRAS

On Febr uary 5 Bob Waechter went on a trip sout h with his aunt and uncl e. They stopped at t he Mardi Gras in New Orleans on Fe brua ry 11 . Upon being inter -viewed, Bob gave the following in-formation on the world -renown Mardi Gra s : "The town was very crowded! About 500,000 people jammed into the streets. If you can imagine a street about three or four times as wide as Michigan Street and running five or six blocks long, you have a pict ure of the crowd on the main st reet - and that's no guff!

"Hardly any of the stores ar e open because of the rowdiness of the crowd. Everyone has a mask or costume of which are sold in the str eets- however I didn't have any. Some of th e costumes are very extravagant and cost lots of money. Some of the peop le's jobs and businesses consist of mak ing cost umes and masks for th e Mard i Gras . Th ere are parades continu-ously all day and half the night, which are put on by differ ent social and private clubs and organiza -tions , each club has its own parade. You don 't eat very much , per haps because th ere wasn' t room enougtf for everyone. I didn't do anyt hing to help celebrate; I was just a specta tor. I was surprised to see cloth ing, and miscellaneous art icles thrown out of a departm ent store window. It seems .t hat when a store wan ts to get rid of .things it doesn't want to put on sa le, it gets r id of t hem just by hav ing them t hrown out the window to the scra mbling cro wd below. I was •m azed! The Mar di Gr as looked like a great big Hallowe'en party. I did noth ing but stand around and watch the people come and go in t heir pict ures que cost umes. New Orle~ns it self is a very quaint old town. It has the lattic e wor k on the porch es as you see in pictures, the many patios, and the Fr ench resta ura nts for whic h it is note d. If anyone has a chance t o go there he sho uld, for it is a grea t spectac le to see. You may not know it, but New Orleans isn't t he only town that has a Mardi Gras. Every Southern tow n has one, but only ·New Or leans's Mardi Gras is well known."

EAGLES LOSE EIGHTH CROWE ANNOUNCES TO BLAZERS 1948 SEASON'S

Adams ' Eagles closed their reg-ular season on February 20, against Elkhart's Blue B 1 a z er s, losing 45-43.

The encounter mark ed the eighth ,straig ht time Adams has been beaten by Elkhart. The east siders have never fallen heir to a victory over coach John Longfellow's boys.

The defeat gave Adams a season record of ten wins and ten loses. They finished their hard fought campaign salvaging a fourth place tie with Mishawaka in th e confer-ence. The Eagles' conference record for the season of 194 7 -48 ended with five wins and four loses.

The Blue Blazers playing slow deliberate ball sauntered off with a 7-0 lead, then Adams suddenly came to life and scored eleven straight points to the Blazer 's none. Adams held a safe lead through the first half , leading at intermission 23-21. ...

It was "dog eat dog" through the last half with the Eagles mis -sing three chances to win the game within the last ninety seconds.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

The Adams' .Eagles will play nine opponents on the gridiron next fall . Only eight foes are scheduled so far, however, coach Garland (Jim) Crowe will have an-other team under contract before too long . The Eagles need an op-ponent for their opening game and the contest must be an away from home game because School Field is already booked for that night. The highlight on the schedule is the trip to Fort Wayne where the Adams gridders will verse South Side. South Bend Washington has not been reinstated on the Adams' schedule as yet, a n d probably won 't be until 1950.

Coach John Longf-ellow must live right. For eight years now he has pitted his Blue Blazers agai nst J ohn Adams' Eagles and each time rain or shine Elkhart has won, sometiIQes only by two points but never-the-less , he has always walk-ed off the court the winner. It's a 1 way s someth ing different t o watch a Powell coached team meet up with a Longfellow team; both are professors of the old sch ool. They gr ill their men in good hard fundamentals and a slow break. Next year the Eagles will trav el to Elkhart and meet t he Blazers on their home floor and this is sudden death to almost 99 ~ of the team s that oppose the Blazers in Elkhart. It looks like a sure jinx ; doesn 't it ?

Don Truex set a new individual scoring record for an Adams playe r when he scored twenty-four point s against Elkhart. The previous in-dividual h i g h was twenty-tw o points held jointly by three men, Don Barnbrook , Bob Nitz , and Tim Howard. Barn brook scored his ·· -----
