Uncle "Sy"
My dear lil' kats, seeing as your old Aunt Liz is stashed in the Butcher Shop, I mean, hospital, with a dangling left liver, I'm crashing this column and hoisting all your crazy tales of woe. So let's get hep. Man, don't waste a sec.
Case No. 1
Dear Uncle Sy,
I've been having a nervous spat with some old bat. Can you dig up a real crazy answer to this frantic question? Slip me the info on this deal.
 A Crazy Cackling Cat
Dear Cacks,
Man, my advice is to slip her in lip with a wet fish imported from Paint Creek.
"Sy"
Case No. 2
Dear "Sy,"
My boyfriend is a regular square. What can I do to round him out and be hep with the rest of the kats?
"Dimples"
Dear "Dime,"
Seeing as you have yourself in a real frantic situation, I'll feed you some noise in the form of an answer. Try a sledge hammer. By then he'll be a flat kat.
Your Uncle "Sy"
Case No. 3
Dear Unc,
This cool lil' chick I've been beating my time on is giving me a double run-around. fir hat can you do to keep this lad from flippin?
Jazzbo Jack
Dear "Jazzbo,"
Man, your case is the most to say the least. I would say that gal is a gasser. Drop that queen bee on the double, Jack. Try digging a Steady Betty.
"Sky High Sy"
Well, kats, keep these tear jerkers coming and I'll keep slipping the answers to you. Now I have to fade, so drop your cases in the Hi-Times box in the Main Hall of that sky blue shack made from clarinet reeds and scotch tape called Windber Hi. |

THE CANTEEN
Well, I'm back again trying to persuade more of you students of W H S to patronize the Canteen.
The Canteen was organized for the youth of W'indber. Now that there is a place for the youths of our community, hardly any of you students ever come down to help support it.
The Windber Teen-Canteen is one of the nicest Canteens in this area - - and thats including Johnstown.
Oh, I'll admit it isn't perfect as yet, but if more of you teenagers would support it, it could be the best Canteen, ever.
The Canteen isn't only for the upper classmen, but all students ranging from the ages of 13 to 19.
So why don't more of you at least come and see what the Canteen has to offer ,you. We will appreciate your patronizing it. Why go out of town to find enjoyment, when all you have to do is come to your Canteen? There are many interesting things to take up your time here. We have all kinds of games, ping pong tables, a T. V. set and we are now getting a shuffle board installed for your pleasure. Remember this is all being done for you- the youth of today.
I'd advise you students if you wish the Canteen to continue to start supporting it. If you don't, who knows? Probably next year you will be without one.
RESOLUTIONS
Ring out the old year! Ring in the new! That's really what the students of W. H. S. should do. Forget about 1953 and set your goals for a better and more intelligent school year for "54".
Seniors especially should buckle down before its too late for you to appreciate the advantages of our school and the opportunities that the outer world has to offer. Most of us seniors think "why worry; there is lots of time." But when you come to think of it there are only about three and one-half months of school to complete. After that our future will be what we make it.
Remember, we are the citizens of tomorrow and if we don't try to further our education we won't be the intelligent, self-reliant citizens we think we are. So for your own sake start studying!
I'm sure you'd all like to graduate, maybe not with honors, but with grades that won't make you hang your head in shame. Let's try to make the class of "54" one to be remembered with satisfaction and proudness.
Remember, seniors, its up to each and everyone of you! |

Teenager Made of Many Things
Between the innocence of childhood and the dignity of adulthood , we find a character known to many as a teenager. Teenagers are the worst things that happen to parents. God loves them, younger brothers and sisters hate them and teachers tolerate them.
A teenager likes movies, television, telephones, week-ends, the family car, humorous teachers, sodas, dancing, money and hangouts. A teenager doesn't care for curfews, school, homework, music lessons, books, nights without a date, staying home, alarm clocks and doing dishes.
God borrows from many creatures to make a teenager. He uses the gentleness of a lamb, the patience of a cat, the wisdom of an owl, the stupidity of an ox, the peacefulness of a dove, and the faithfulness of a dog.
Yes, a teenager is thought by many to be worthless and troublesome. But after all is said and done, most of us will have to admit good qualities are quite numerous in an ordinary teenager.
To name but a few - - - Uh - well - - - - Say, pardon me, 1'11 be late for class, Bye.

Women are really more skillful drivers than men-it's not easy to get a car into a garage sideways.
Hill Top Echo
She: "Are you doing anything for that cold of yours?"
He: "Well, I sneeze whenever it wants me to."

Freshman: I don't know.
Sophomore: I'm not prepared.
Junior: I don't remember.
Senior: I don't believe I can add anything to what has been said.

Father answering the phone: Dreamboat is not at her pier right now.
The Eagle
The quarterback called his men into a huddle.
"There's a rumor going around," he said, "that the Army has a scout in the stands,"
"That's funny," replied one of the players, "We aren't playing Army this year."
"This scout," said the quarterback, "is from the Draft Board.".
The Eagle
A cat's whiskers are delicate sense organs.
Any girl can be nice in a coupe,
In a taxi all can be jolly,
But the girl worth while,
Is the girl who can smile;
When you are taking her home in a trolley.

Record Rack
Well, kids, here we are again with the popular hits in the past few weeks.
We'll start it all off with a bit of a bang and let Rusty Draper sing "Native Dancer"; he also sings a slow sort of a "Lonesome Song".
Eddie Fisher and Eddie Calvert both have the record "Oh, Mein Papa" spinning. Eddie Fisher also sings "Many Times", and "Just To Be With You." This latter we dedicate to Carol Sherlock and Larry Wirick.
The Hilltoppers sing "Till Then" and Jimmy Sacca of the Hilltoppers sings a new one, "Alone". "Robe of Calvary" by Jill Corey is also very popular.
Tony Bennett has a ballad that is climbing, "Stranger in Paradise" and The Four Aces also have recorded this song, too.
"Changing Partners" by Kay Starr we dedicate to Fran and Ronnie and, "Baby Baby, Baby" for Peggy and Julie.
For Bill Haddad, Chuck Baughman, and Rudy Pristow we play "Cow Cow Blues" and "Peter Piper Boogie". For all the other kids that fitter-bug we play "The Jones Boys" and "Strinvs Of My Heart" by Gaylords. Perry Como's "You Alone" is still third popular. Sunny Gale sings a nice tune "Fare-Thee-Well". The Four Lads recording of "Heart Of My Heart" is still runner up on the 20 top tunes. A new and lovely ballad has been added to the three top tunes this week. It is "The Way I Feel Tonight" by The Four Knights.
For Honey and Ed we dedicate "That's Amore" by Dean Martin. For Eleanor Reed and Don Strapple we dedicate "Why Do You Have To Go Home", and "It Happened Once Before" by The Four Freshmen.
For Binky Kluk and Phil from town we play "Tell Me You Love Me" by Miss Joni James.
Well, kids, that's all for this month, but keep on listening for the hits and we'll try and mention them all the next time.
Slide, Kelly, Slide
If you wonder where the kids are on the nice snowy nights, you can be sure to see quite a few of them sledding on Trinity Hill. Steve Beretzel, the owner of a lame bob-sled. seems to be the main attraction with the girls.

On the second trip you may see Tillie Findish, Louise Kush, Shirley Rakoczy, Martha Keller and Beth Paul.
Others romping in the snow are Tom Quinn, Joe Daniels, Stan Kush, Shirley Faust, Elaine Pauley, Ann Lee Paul and Donna Kough.
