WELCOME In the arrival of Kyoto American High School a new era will begin in the field of our relation with our sister schools throughout Japan. Being the first group of students from one high school to visit another, we should extend the best hospitality possible to the visiting Kyoto team. Because of the basketball game, we of Yo-Hi have our first chance to prove that ours is the best school in Japan. They are going to Tokyo first, so let's show them some good old Yokohama hospitality when they arrive here. So let's do this (like we do everything) bigger and better than Tokyo . When they return to their "homeland" (Kyoto) they will compare us to Tokyo. Let's prove to them who's better! The team will arrive from Tokyo on buses late in the afternoon. Let's have the whole school turn out to greet them and escort them through out the fair city of Yokohama. When the game begins, let's let them see a school spirit like none other in Yokohama, and during the game and after the game, a rare specimen of sportsmanship. Let's show them the best..........Yo-Hi!!!! Mike Buckley OUR PRINCIPAL SAYS There will be a revised schedule starting with the second semester.... It is being put together in such a way so as to combat the lack of study and curricular activities time....While making out the schedule we are taking into hearty consideration the fact that so many people live out of town and come by train.

EDMOND BLUNDEN
It is rare indeed that we have a chance to pay tribute to a genius. We have had this chance and if we are to judge by the applause that echoed and reechoed throughout the auditorium we have fulfilled that pleasant task most well. Edmund Bunden spoke quite briefly on English poetry. a great man will make quotable phrases without even trying. Mr Blunden is no exception. His speech was interesting and |
educational, a rare combination I think you will
admit. At the end of his speech, spiced with these phrases, decorated with poetry
and ornamented with his beautifully phrased clauses, the audience was as enthusiastic as
it had been receptive. Mr. Bunden then opened himself for questions and the listeners discovered among other things that Glasworthy was fifty years older than himself. He was quite all out for our American poet Walt Whitman, to use his own words, "Splendid..revolutionized poetry. At the end of this round table discussion the Declamation was over. We have enjoyed having Mr. Blunden and hope that Capt McCartney will program other artists in the future. Mike Buckley First voice; So you're the repairman? Second voice; Yes. First voice; Well, fix the keyhole in room eleven. Second voice; Keyhole? First voice; Yes. Second voice; I'll look into it! Jersey cow to the silo; Is my fodder in there? Bill Willis; Where'd you get the mean blonde last night? Hardy; Oh, I just opened my wallet, and there she was! Madge; Believe me, I pick my friends. Shirley; Yes....to pieces. Fred K; How long can a man live without brains? Biff; I don't know. How old are you? John J; Your car has a good pick-up. Shirley S; I'll say.....the first day I was out I picked up two sailors, two soldiers, and a marine. Chuck; I'm going to buy a jeep. Ginny; Why do you want to buy a jeep? Chuck; I just found a good parking place. They don't show comedies in the English movies on Saturday nights any more, Wyyzat? They don't want any more laughing in church on Sundays. |
Chuck Cronin, Jim Hyatt, and Tony Craver were nominated for the Neet- Nac committee and after a close contest Jim Hyatt emerged as our next representative to the Neet-Nac. The senior class extends our congratulations to Chuck Cronin for a job well done. The big order for the all important senior class rings was sent to the states and they should be getting here within the next few months. We are all looking forward to the receiving of our rings and the satisfaction we will get when we first put them on. The seniors are reminded that there is a box for the March of Dimes collection on Mrs. Stienbaugh's desk so as you pass by stop and give for those who are less fortunate than you. D D
Homework and exams seem to be catching up with the juniors. Last Monday two junior girls appeared to sing at the P.T.A. meeting. A total of eight girls sang out of thirty who should have. Several juniors have distinguished themselves in the last two basketball games. Jackie Graham, Pat Fuller, and Carolyn Cartwright, all playing guard, have aided our forwards considerably. Tom Sack played in the game last Friday after only one practice; an unusual accomplishment even for a junior. Last Friday in Assembly, it was a junior who started the round-table discussion. None other than the editor of the Junior Journal. Mike Buckley, asked the first question. Walt Henderson, Jackie Graham, and Tardy Thayer soon followed suit. Most of the class enjoyed Mr. Blunden's talk and a few stayed later to talk to him personally. C B Well, as everyone probably knows, we have lost another member of our class. This time its Bruce Savin. If this keeps up there won't be anyone left in our class by the end of the year. On the Friday before Bruce left he was honored with a party at the Neet-Nac. |
Our class was very sorry to see him leave and we all
hope that he has a pleasant journey home.
While we are on the subject of people leaving it looks as though we are going to lose another member of our class, but let's hope we don't. Now for the lighter side of the class news. We are all very proud of Roland for doing so well and making so many baskets in there last few games. Everyone here in our class thinks he is a pretty good player. By the time this semester ends we are going to have to elect a new class president and new student council representative because almost all of our class officers have left. (At least two of them). Well, I guess that's all the news there is for this time. H S THE STAFF Editor-in-chief ....... Chuck Stodter Associate Editor ..... Virginia

This past week has been a very busy one for all of the freshman class. They hope to have many more on the honor roll this time. There are several freshmen on the basketball teams. There is one boy on the "A" team, five are on the "B" team and 4 girls on the girl's team. Joyce Lotto, one of their class presidents and Nancy Force, one of their best students are both leaving for the States this month. They will be missed by all. The class is very sorry Fletcher Buckley has been so very ill. They are glad to have Jan Prokop back after being our of school for three weeks. Here's hoping we all receive good report cards. J J |
| SPORTS The "Red Devils" have apparently been up against a couple of good teams lately - good enough, in fact, to turn the tide of an unbeaten team into two defeats in rapid succession. The first of the two said games took place Monday night at the Elementary School gym. The squadders had finished their preliminary game (which is usually as exciting as the A squad's game), and after suffering a losing score of 46-16 in reward for their efforts, they relinquished the court to the A squad and the night's opponents: the Tokyo Area Engineers. The game started in full swing with Fred Kurdziolek the first to drop one in the basket. The rest of the team then showed considerable zest in rolling up a sizable score, and up to the end of the second half simply abounded with energy and teamwork enough to put the TAE boys in a state of mild dismay (as witness the long faces present among the TAE stands). The "Red Devils" (otherwise hailed as the "Toast of YAHS" then prepared to resume their former rampage, but the TAE, slowly creeping up, began to put up a stiff resistance, and counter - attacked by chalking up a score of 25-24 (their favor) by the third quarter. This, naturally, caused the stands (and their occupants) to go into to a considerable state of uproar. Furthermore, the "Toast of YAHS" was decidedly burnt! That would not do. Accordingly, Roland Moss tied up the score, which then stood 30-30, with one of his traditional "swishers". Still the TAE retaliated by scoring twice more, Seconds, remained. Despairing cries filled the air: "Alas....Horrors....All is lost"---It was, they won. Final score 36-30.! ********************** Saturday night, the girls' team played its second game of the season with the 8000th WAC Detach. Spirits and blood pressure ran high, as the fiery amazons clashed. Yep, nothing like a girl's basketball game. The supposedly fairer, gentler sex generally raises more rumpus than a herd of buffalo. Seriously though, they played a good game and gave the WAC's a taste of YAHS spirit. Outstanding were Sharon O'Hanlon, Ginny Browne, Peggy Barnard, and Patsy Fuller who helped to roll up the final score of 21-29. Captain for the night was Jackie Graham. The A squad now played the game that resulted in the second of the two unfortunate defeats, with Second Major Port emerging; the proud but respectful victor Larry Thompson (somewhat enlightened by his haircut) showed his usual outstanding quality, while "Buzz" Newman and Dick Bernstrom teamed up to make things extra hard for the Port team. |
It's useless to mention a lot of names, because you
all who were there saw the whole team, and you know they rate a hand for the excellent
game they played. The game was sponsored to help out the March of dimes in the wonderful job it's doing. Anyway, after three wins and two losses, we're waiting to see what number six will bring. Here's hoping! W H COACH COMMENTS The basketball game scheduled for the 27th was cancelled. Why? Some are of the opinion that sports activities interfere with a student's studies, so the sports program will be somewhat curtailed in the future. It is well known that a student must maintain a "C" average with no failing marks to participate in an athletic squad. This ruling has affected only three players. Glance at the Honor Roll and you will see how our athletes stand scholastically. R M SWISH MITTY The crowd of 10,000 basketball fans that jammed Fryar Gym were tense and excited, Central Normal College was beating Taxidermy Tech 64-21. But where was Teck's star player, "Swish" Mitty? It was already the 3rd quarter and he was nowhere to be found. Coach Smith had been nervously pacing back and forth in front of the bench, but now he stopped, for coming out of the home team's dressing room was a dashing youth dressed in a bright crimson uniform with a old star plainly visible on the back. "Swish" Mitty!!!! Suddenly the spectators saw him and standing as one man cheered until the gymnasium shook. But what was this??? He walked with the same confident swagger, but his left arm hung limply at his side. Rushing to meet him, Coach Smith queried, "Where have you been, Mitty? Are you all right? Squaring his handsome jaw, "Swish Mitty spoke, "I had a little accident, but I'll be alright now--just a broken arm." Despite this disadvantage, Mitty left no doubt in the minds of the fans why he was called "Swish". He began hitting the basket from all angles with almost impossible shots and playing brilliantly on defensive. Soon the score stood 64-64 But...who was this coming in?? None other than Snake Head. He crowd gasped and hearts sank as he entered the fray. In an instant the ball was in his mitts and he was in a position to shoot....second's remained. Can Mitty and his broken paw save Tex T from disaster?? Read the next issue!! |
This week we're going to introduce that cute lil ball of fire she claims being a Junior....Patsy Fuller, with that streak of red hair flashing and she is usually accompanied by Jackie G (and together don't they give forth with the best ole harmony, she is so full of pep (where does it all come from). If she's not doing her best at cheerleading, she's romping around the basketball floor---and needless to say, she's the STAR! Her favorite color is aqua and it really agrees with that beautiful hair, doesn't it? Course, she's an ardent pin pong player--hard to beat too by golly. Oh, I could go on and on about her, but summing up her winning personality, captivating smile, and sweet temperament, you have one gal that is tops! Way to go Patsy Fuller.
Jeepers, back again already with a line of the cutest outfits. Green seems to be quite the color around the campus these days. Loretta showed up in a green corduroy suit and it was also the "New Look". Gee, I wonder if I dare attack Dick B. again---just gotta' mention his new green shirt though---where do you get them all? Brucie W. looked very Gibson Girlish with that many colored bow tie around her neck. Everyone seems to be falling in line in wearing teen bows around their necks. Of course, everyone has seen those "To-o-o- luscious to -speak-about" cheerleading sweaters with the great big red Y on them. NO one is noticing the games these days, all eyes are turned on the drooly sweaters. Can you blame 'em? Dick Diller looked very sportish in his blue sweater the other day, and he even wore a tie! Have y'all seen that big hunk a man walking towards you in the halls? Don't faint girls it was just Jack DeLong in his manly ski sweater. What a physique! Ahem! Everyone looked so precious at Judy Johnson's blowout at the Neet-Nac the other night in their formals. Judy herself looked very cute in her blue soft brocade gown with a big bow on the side. It would take the paper to write about all the precious formals, but just one more, which couldn't be left out is Pat F.'s darling yellow Japanese blouse setting off her gorgeous hair. The jingles of the bells have really traveled from the foot to head. Everyone is wearing bells in their hair to warn the boys of their coming, as if they needed any. |
Well, this brings this lil column to a close, be back
next time, so long. M D
Two popular Yo-Hi girls celebrated their birthdays. They were Sharon O'Hanlon and Judy Johnson. Thursday evening found Sharon entertaining the kids at her house. Might the soft, sweet strains of "Cigarettes and Whuskey an wild, wild Womun". Sharon opened her gifts and cut her cake. A good time was had by all, but there was school the next morning so-o-o-. Friday evening, the school was invited to Judy's formal dance at the Neet-Nac. The girls, in their swishy formals, gave the club and air of festivity. At eleven the orchestra played "Goodnight Sweetheart" and the crowd relunctantly departed, knowing they had spend a very enjoyable evening.
Open yur eyes Dave ! Can't you see that a cute new chick is interested? Tony can't seem to make up his mind about the girls these days although the latest frame is Judy S. Ginny M and Fred K exchange the cutest glances. Can't you two do any better than that! I hear that Marlene D is pretty interested in one of the seniors. I won't say who, but his first name begins with a D! Arthur P is trying to grow about fur inches in the near future. I wonder if Darleen W has anything to do with it. Hardy G didn't let a little thing like a broken arm interfere with his dancing at Judy J's party---or was that just when Shirley S was available. Tardy T seems to think that two hands are better than one or maybe she's just seeing double. Has everybody noticed a shiny replacement on Donna's arm? What does it say, Donna? What are you trying to do, make Patrick-san jealous? The two new blondes seem to be making quite a hit with two of our basketball stars! Mike seems to be getting anti-social lately, what's the matter, Mike, exams getting you down? That's all for this issue kids, but I'll have even juicier bits next time!
