Literature Assignments
Given To Students
with the outline and general maiteup of the annual "Port Light" complete, assignment have been made by

Teta, while the humor is being submitted by Charles Lincoln and Warren Kunz, The editor Is having numerous people write the same story In
order to obtain the most perfect work
possible. All stories are being rewritten at least three times as another
means of receiving flawless results.

book covers has reached quite a magnitude. School conservatives maintftiii
that maroon and gold does not conform
with the established tradition of blue

are i n favor of a more colorful cover.
The editor wishes to hear more opinions .so that he can make a decision
favorable to the majority. Discussion
of this topic desired and will be valuable In making the book a success i n
that It is a book of popular choice and
execution.

The entire center section of the balcony of the Senior High School auditorium w i l l be reserved for Junior High
students only on Saturday evening,
March 6 when "Fashion", that delicious satire on the fanciful foibles of
fashion, will play for one night only.
This rare old melodrama of five acts,
will be presented by the Red Domino
cast under the personal supervision
and direction of Miss Bonnie Hawthorne.
Special Treat
Junior High Students will get a special treat this Friday at their regular
assembly when several of the entra
acts of the play w i l l be presented. The
Misses Charlotte and Francis Griffes
have been appointed to sell tickets i n
the Junior High School and the seats
for the special reserved section i n the
balcony.
Tickets are priced at 25c.
50c and 75c. These tickets entitle the
holder to attend the dance following
the play i n the school cafeteria. F u r ther details of the play w i l l be found
on page one of The Port Weekly.
The various homerooms, idealizing
that i t pays to advertise, have selected
homeroom reporters to "keep them i n
the headlines."
Miss Mandigo's 7B
group chose William Cox. while Clara
Biggs reports for M r . Haron's 7B.
Eugene Cherry will work hard i n his
homeroom and Jessie Marie Hammett
will "cover the news" i n her group.
Mr. Brubaker's group of 9B's has put
Eddie Bailey to work, and Caroline
Dissosway, a newcomer, may do some
good reporting for her group. Perhaps
Alfred Palaski will do some "key-hole"
peeping for his homeroom.
More News-Hounds
Irene Hope and Joanne Williamson
will be "snoopers" for their classmates
and Eloise Frost will do a good job i n
her 7A class. Dot O'Day has already
started investigating her 9B pals, and
Helen Allington and Simone Watkins
are very enthusiastic. Others who w i l l
"dig the d i r t " are: Harold Johnson,

recent 9B members is made up of
about 75 members who will journey by

The
girls' intersquad
basketball
tournament started February 16, 1937.
The first game played was the Orange
versus Blue team. Two of the referees were Helen Carey and Jennie
Bonczek. Miss Silick also helped them.
The time and score keeper was Rose
Smiles. The score of the first game
was 16 to 4 i n the Orange's favor.
There was no game Thursday, February 18. 1937 because the girls went
to see a basket ball game at Senior
high school.

C r e s c e n t " a n d " T h e S h i e l d " Writte n B y Mr.
Cramblet's Father During College Days
By HOWARD STEPHENSON
The other day two very interesting old newspapers were brought to my
attention. They were "The Crescent" and "The Shield," both of which were
written by M r . Cramblet's father while he was studying at Denison University,
Ohio, i n 1869.
The cover of the first mentioned was of very ornate design, consisting
of its title, "The Crescent," inscribed near the top of the cover. A large crescent,
edged i n blue and red, was below that, i n which wre Goethically printed the
author's initials.
"Old Jokes"
The paper itself was made up of two editorials, a long poem, an excellent,
first hand description of the Civil War. local news, essays and jokes. These
jokes were printed i n 1869 but are still being told to-day, i n fact one of them
was broadcast a few weeks ago.
The other magazine was smaller and less ornate. This one was "The
Shield." I t is of about the same editorial standard, but this magazine contained more "Old Jokes."
Another interesting fact I found about these papers was that each student
made one and exchanged h i sfor another. Thus they were distributed throughout the classes.

I n the library there are many new
books which are very interesting and
exciting. One very good book is called "The Wreck of the Active" by F.
V. Morley. This book is a tale of the
salty sea and the fur trading i n the
"Old Northwest." Two sailors have
many thrilling adventures during the
fur trading season. Another good book
is called "The Keys to the City" by
Lavina Davis. I t is about two children
who found the solution to a baffling
mystery.
More Books
"The M i l l i n the Woods," which is
by William Heyliger, is about a yoimg
man who has inherited a m i l l way up
i n the "sticks". He made tables and
chairs and other wooden furniture. His
work was finally recognized by a large
New York firm, and he sold enough
furniture to pay off a note. He finally
achieved his goal.
"Judy and Chris" is another new
book i n the library. This book is about
two* young children who are always
getting into trouble. They were a l ways doing mischievous things.
'Tis rumored ~ t h a t the 9B-1 gals
