OS DAllAI tot oi mivtism mviwito BY LINDA GALBRA1TH A big turkey dinner with all the trimming was the foremost thought of MHS students last week. The two-day holiday was the high school's first vacation this year.

The students were so excited Wednesday that it was almost impossible to maintain order in class. School closed 15 minutes early that day with hope that the Thanksgiving weekend would be a joyous one. During fourth period Tuesday all the students who participated in Student Government Day were treated to a turkey dinner by the Rotary at the Shrine Club. Each student was escorted by a Fort Myers citizen. Gerald Ellis, president of the Wheel Club, was master of ceremonies, Danny Adams, Mike Devitt, Charles Dean and Brenda Garner assisted him.

The Rotary chose a mystery student out of the crowd and John Fullerton guessed correctly when he said, "Must be Priscilla Hobbs." The students expressed their enjoyment of the dinner by praising the food to those who did not attend. To mourn their last pep rally at MHS the majority of the seniors wore black Tuesday. Although the sadness of this occasion was displayed in color, the usual spirit prevailed. As several of the cheerleaders and majorettes were attending their last MHS game as high school students, they too wore black. Those who attended their last Make Ann Pierce won second pnze in the humorous interpretation and Mike Lawrence won third prize in the oratorical interpretation.

Richard Fell gained the most points of those participating from Fort Myers for his speeches in Congress. Each student had to give his speech before five different groups of three Judges. The students were placed in groups of six to appear before the judges. Nervously at first, then with ease our students went to work and won well, Junior Play The junior class play, price of play tickets and class dues were discussed at a meeting headed by Charles Edwards, class president. The price set on the play was $1 for adults and 50 cents for students.

East's three diamond ovrrcall was a nuisance bid designed to upset the enemy's communication. This time the bid had no effect as South was able to bid three hearts and North had a sound raise to tour.

West opened hi singleton diamond.

South won the first diamond, led a club to dummy's ace and spade from dummy. East played the three and South went up with the king only to see it lose to West's ace. Now West led a trump and South won in dummy.

A second spade lost to East's queen and East led the king of diamonds. At this point West decided it was about time for him to trump his partner's trick. Obviously South wa getting ready for a crow ruff and a second trump lead would take away one ruffing trick. Suiting the action to the thought. West ruffed and led his last trump.

Now South had two trumps left in dummy but three losing cards in his own hand. He had to lose one trick and the contract.
