Ranger Ramblings I write these words with a certain premonition that they will never see print. Since our beautiful new school opened its doors in September, the School Life staff has been busily scurrying about preparing for a paper... and preparing for a paper... and preparing for a paper. Just when the staffers had packed their pencils and covered their typewriters (and were filling out enrollment cards for some less conspicuous class) the sun broke through the clouds. Now they tell me our overworked, underpaid staff of six has the formidable task of getting out a paper weekly. Feast or famine... mumble... mumble. An often expressed sentiment around the building is that Rangers owe a big "thanx" vote to our struggling football team. With the disadvantages they have had to endure, the boys have shown a tremendous loyalty in taking the field. Their kind of spirit, along with lots of support by their classmates, is the combination that will make Rangers mean something in the future. Mr. Lawless has pulled together a fine marching band in a very short time. "Friendly" is the word throughout school these days. Let's hope that as the school grows this becomes one of our proudest traditions. If the speling and riting arnt to gud these furst few times, blame it on the Hail staf. There all furst yere Jurnalism students. One way to pure torture in Hale halls is to wander by the concession on the second floor in the late afternoon. The aroma of freshly roasted popcorn will drive any normally calm person to delirium. For, you see, it is impossible to actually buy any for yourself. In a carefully planned strategy at least 500 of your once friendly classmates have managed to jam together, canceling all hopes of ever making your way to the counter. Once in awhile a rumor passes back to the outskirts of the throng that someone actually bought some popcorn. None of these rumors have ever been confirmed, however. |

FTA Organized at Hale The Future Teachers of America Club at Nathan Hale will be officially organized, under Mr. David Foster, as soon as it is chartered by the National Education Association which sponsors FTA. The first business of the club members, numbering about ten at the moment, will be to elect officers. Monday mornings, before school, have been chosen tentatively as the meeting time. The members may attend all district and state meetings. They are also invited to some of the meetings and activities of the student teachers at Tulsa University. "Participation in FTA will enable members to decide if they want a teaching career and will make them better students." Mr. Foster believes. |

Hale Soph Play Begins Tonight In Auditorium Nathan Hale's sophomores under the supervision of James Petty, dramatics instructor, will present "Mother Is a Freshman" by Raphael David Blau tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night in the Hale auditorium. The play is a three-act comedy about a widowed mother, played by Ann Willoughby, who finds her name, Abigail, will qualify her for a scholarship to the college her daughter is attending. Because this will solve their financial problems temporarily and enable her daughter Susan to finish her sophomore year, she accepts the scholarship. Susan, played by Linda Nicols, is very self-centered and quite humiliated at having to attend the same college as her freshman mother. Things really began to move when they compete for the attentions of a certain zoology professor, portrayed by J. E. Riley. Others in the cast are Kay Suttle, Georgeann Spruce, Liz Surber, Judy Cassity, Jean Berger, Carol Marsh, Pat Landers, Danny Wetherington, Hank Radford, Pete Skinner, Morris Mauney, and Jerry Surber. Hale student may use budget tickets or pay admission at the box office. |
