S. H. S. NEWS
(By Mabel Schelling)
• First Grade, Section I
What an eventful week! Mon-
day morning we enjoyed “The
African Lion,” a show at the
Palace Theatre. On our walk
down it was quite a thrill to
see our policeman stop the
highway traffic for us. When
the show was over, it was rain-
ing and who do you suppose
was waiting for us? No one else
but Mr. Fox and he took us
back to the school in a bus. For
some of us it was our first bus
ride. Thanks, Mr. Fox!
Elaine Renken exhibited five
radishes grown in her very own
garden. How nice for a little
first grade girl to have her own
garden!
Claude Lee Pohler and Robert
Fikac showed us some newly
acquired baseball gloves.
Robert James Fikac had a
birthday Tuesday. We hope he
enjoyed the song we sang for
him.
Thursday we presented our
operetta and we really enjoyed
doing it for an audience. We
want to thank everyone who
helped us. Special thanks are
due the mothers, Supt. and Mrs.
Fox, Mrs. Doris Phillips and
some of her typing students,
and to Buffington Funeral
Home.
Lillian Kresta of the second
grade wrote such a nice story
for us entitled The Frog. Thanks
Lillian.

Cub Pack Kites
Fly High Sunday
Pack 231 enjoyed a Kite Fly-
ing Contest in Zander’s pasture,
Sunday afternoon, April 15.
Each Cub and his dad entered
a home-made kite, hoping to
win one of the prizes. The ter-
rific wind promptly eliminated
some contestants by snapping
the kites in half as soon as they
left the ground. Other kites
snapped their string and sailed
away, causing the dads and
Cubs to take long hikes to re-
trieve them.
The judges had a difficult
time making their decision but
at the end of the afternoon the
following Cubs each received
an official Cub Scout knife:
Ronald Pfeil for the kite that
flew the highest, Donald Lahod-
ny for the largest kite, and
Donnie Lynn Zander for flying
the smallest kite. Their dads
each received a lolly pop for
their work and patience in mak-
ing the kites.
The weather proved too win-
dy and dusty to eat out-doors
so the group went to the social
hall at the Lutheran Church
where everyone enjoyed a pic-
nic lunch with iced tea.
Retiring Cub Master, Gus
Nollkamper, thanked everyone
for their splendid cooperation
and asked for the same support
for the new officers.
On behalf of Pack 231, Hugo
Helweg presented Mr. Nollkam-
per with a large plaque, that
the Cubs had made in recogni-
tion of his services for the past
two years.

From where I sit... Z/ Joe Marsh
They Travel "In Class"
Our high school correspondent
says that Economics and Geog-
raphy students are going in for
“grass roots” studying.
They’re going to charter buses
and take off on Operation See-
For-Yourself—have a ten-day
look at some of the things
they’ve been studying about.
As I remember, it was hard to
keep your mind on schoolbooks
at this time of year. Today’s kids
can give in to that old urge to
bust out of the classroom—with
a clear conscience. Wish they’d
take me along.
From where I sit, it doesn’t
hurt us adults, either, to get out
and see how the rest of the coun-
try lives. We find the “typical
American” doing everything from
herding cattle to flying planes ...
with everything from steak to
chowder for his favorite dish ...
everything from beer to butter-
milk for his favorite beverage.
And the more we study our dif-
ferences the more we learn how
alike everyone is underneath.
