THE KILT
April 1, 1958
ALL DACRON CANDY! This is the first time this has been offered anywhere. Lee, Howard, Cherokee, and Memorial have to make do with old fashioned cotton candy but our will be DACRON. That means it is 100% sanforized - will NOT shrink. And OF COURSE, it drips wet!
DOG SWALLOWING CONTEST! This is not as revolting as it sounds. It is merely a contest to see who can swallow a hot dog without biting or chewing. It has to go down WHOLE. There will be XRAY machine on hand to take candid shots of the dog as it proceeds.
   Coach Vickers and Frank Ferguson have already signed up for this event. It is hoped that the less lily-livered students and faculty will challenge them to this event.
MENU FOR THE FESTIVAL. Of course every festival gives a dinner but ours is special. It's a new gimmick called a STACK SNACK. It's a roast turkey stuffed with a roasting hen, stuffed with a broiler, stuffed with a squab, which is stuffed with a fertilizer egg. It's really five meals in one - DON'T MISS IT!

CAKE BAKE! This feature, presented through the combined efforts of Mr. Johnson and Miss Patterson. They say when better batters are beaten this team'll cream 'em. Come early and get your Patti cakes and Johnny-cakes!

PIE IN YOUR EYE CONTEST! This is a new feature and may never be offered again. All teachers who have given more than one "E" in any given marking period will be lined up and bombarded with mustard pies by the elated receivers of the "E's".
BONGO-BONGO, THE TWO HEADED BOY from Sanford will be here to re-enact the Lincoln Douglas Debate. Then he'll sing a duet with himself. Gotta be seen to be believed!
   The next case on the agenda was Mrs. Ruth Sory who had been caught skipping from first to the fourth wing, scattering rose buds and singing "I'm A Little Prairie Flower."
   Judge Miller asked the defendant what had compelled her to this demoralizing act."
   "It's Spring, your Honor," said Mrs. Sory, batting her eyes.
   Members were advised to keep eating their Hinky Dinks for nourishment.
   "The Clinic is so crowded with sick students it is now hazardous for our members to put their tim in", said Nancy Collins, chairman of the Weak and Wan Committee.
   Present members of the National Dishonorable Clinic Society re: Elaine Johnson, Jim Call, Sigrid Bergstrom, Joan Caldwell, Paula Nagel, Mr. Hugh Ansley, Tom Massebeau, Fred Good, Jerry Saunders, and Mr. Payne Johnson. Laird Gann, who contracted measles, in on probation.
   Mrs. Hiram Schmickledorf, mother of Herman, 7-12, hit the panic button when informed of the new law.
   "What's the Board of Education got against parents?" Mrs. Schmickledorf demanded. "Already me and my husband are nervous wretches helping Herman with his homework. Mr. Schmirckledorf has been up all night whispering the nine tables in Herman's little ears. The days ain't long enough for what the poor child is supposed to learn.
   "And me....You want to know what I'm doing? I'm baking a square pie. Why? 'Cause Herman says his teacher says 'Pie are square'!"
   Plenty of Nothing. His act was some what marred when he slipped in Greece.
   Miss Mary Shiver, who was unable to be present because she had inadvertently stapled herself to her monthly report, sang "I Hear Me Calling You" over the intercom, accompanied by Mrs. Allen on the adding machine.
   High point of this evening was the demonstration of paddling techniques given by the Prince among Principals, Adrian E. Stockard. "The Lifter" Mr. Stockard explained not only spanks the child but insures his speedy return to class. "With English" is delivered with a spin that keeps the student whirling for a week. "Mach One" is calculated to scare the kid to death before the paddle even makes contact.
   Clark Lambert assisted Mr. Stockard in the demonstration and has been excused from school for the rest of the year.
