Did You Know? 

   Did you know ...
   That Mrs. Gimon is fooling her bookkeeping students ... we all know that "assets" really are baby donkeys!!
   That Stephy Read is going steady with (Jack) John F. Kennedy?
   That Donna Newberry kissed Mr. Hotaling ... on the cheek in front of the Oklahoma audience?
   That the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc room is still decorated with an ornamented Christmas tree?
   That James Benton sees flying saucers?
   That Suzanne McMillan is a home wrecker ... she opened the door wrong on the house of the Oklahoma set and nearly knocked it down!
   That many-a-gal is still awaiting for a date for the Junior-Senior Prom?
   That Mr. Creech played baseball with a gooney bird?

An   Apology
   An apology goes out to Sue Sturges whose name was omitted in last week's paper for SENIORS who scored a 99% on the English division of SENIOR TESTS. Congratulations.

     Since this is an April Fool issue, you would normally expect that I would write an April Fool's column — for all you April Fools ... of course! And being the biggest April fool the whole year round, I did!!! It appears that I am not alone, however, as you can see what I found ... Sheila Clarke: My most embarrassing moment was when I was at the World's Fair in Brussels. I was trying to get into the ladies' room to take a shower and not realizing that the door was locked, I ripped the door off in my anxiety!!
Ronnie Peacock: The funniest thing that happened to me was the day when I said "Yes, Ma'am," to MR. ORR!!!
Marthabell Husmann: I was so embarrassed the day I accidentally walked into a men's room in Germany!
Ed Fishback: In chemistry last year Dr. Bender asked me what the formula for hydrogen sulfide was. I replied SH. After things quieted down, and when I had apologized, I blurted out HS, another misdemeanor.
( — P.S. To us peons who haven't had chemistry, the correct answer, so Ed informed me, is H2S)
   Well, you know the old saying — "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" ... Need I say more?
H E L P !!!
   OUR BAND MUST GO TO STATE CONTEST!! We have the talent, the desire, the SUPERIOR RATINGS, but also no MONEY! NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL STUDENTS TO COME TO THE AID OF YOUR BAND WITH SOME GOOD MONEY - RAISING IDEAS - (OR MONEY) Put all suggestions in the Wi-Pa-Hi-Sc Box in the cafeteria!
   During the month of April Fools, Urpgus takes a vacation ... fearing, of course, that we will find a bigger fool to take his place, but after all, he really isn't needed this month! Out of curiosity and a bit of nosey-ness, I asked several people a very vital question which everyone should be thinking about ... IF YOU WERE GOING TO THE MOON, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU TAKE WITH YOU?
David Eckhardt: Knife, Mustard, and rye bread.
Mr. Williams: If I can't take it all with me, I'm not going!
Nancy Temple: My teddy bear, 6 cases of root beer, and my "Oklahoma" script.
Carol Streep: 3 boys.
Mike Hickey: a hamburger, girl and Chemistry book (there's bound to be a test when I get back).
Julie Baldwin: Tommy, my pillow, and contact lenses.
Richard Winslow: some candy, a cricket wicket, and Marilyn Monroe.
Mrs. Hill: Publications class! (I'd send them and stay here!)
Stu Smith: The Steak 'N Shake, W.P. Drive-In and the whole cast from the Club 99.
Sue Sturges: My toothbrush and toothpaste so that I could keep my Pepsodent smile, and Clorets to keep my breath kissing sweet for anybody interesting whom I might meet.
   The belief is youth is the happiest time of life is founded on a fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
