When listening to the radio jack Benny has the inside track with Major Bowes and VValter O'Keefe getting in their licks, too. As to comedians nearly all would rather break a rib laughing at Jack Benny than any one else. Eddie Cantor and Fred Allen were second and third but woefully far behind Benny. As favorite teacher Miss Chandler, History teacher, ranks first with Mr. Papineau, French teacher, second. The results of the favorite subject partially agree with the favorite teacher. History, in gen- eral, first, and the test tubes of Chemistry second is the rating. YVhen Presidential candidates are mentioned, Roosevelt is the word. Landon and Knox are poor seconds to this Democratic class. The late humorist VVill Rogers holds first place as public character with Roosevelt and Hauptmann trailing. ln discussing movies most seniors think they got the most for their money from 'fMutiny on the Bounty. Also no one walked out on Tale of Two Citiesl' or Rose Marie showing an appreciation for the classical and romantic type of picture. Plans for the summer include camping, rest- ing, working, travelling, swimming, more working and as one original pupil put it, 'fRecuperate from school. Seniors evidently favor nearby colleges be- cause U. V. NT. won by a big margin with Bur- lington Business, Nlassachusetts Tech., Ohio State, Boston University, Lasalle Junior College, Auburn, Boston Conservatory of Music, Simmons, VVest Point, and Duke in the order named. That traditional old school of experience received only OHC VOtC. Opinion is equally divided as to the most worth-while extra curricular activity, the Mercury and Athletics being tied. Music and Glee Club coming into their own once more tied for second place with that perennial favorite, vacation, third. Changes for the school included one terse many and minor ones, such as a swimming pool. Solid session was strongly advocated, while freedom for seniors was also voiced or penned. Many thought that the school was all right as it is. Proposed changes for the Mercury centered about the number of pages, type of literature and as always the Periscope. Changes for the Periscope included more and better jokes and a joke column in place of the Periscope. The Student Council Dues, an innovation this year, received the whole hearted approval of the class, voting being 7 to I in favor. Opinions ranged from Hpretty good to marvelous ideaf, The only complaint was the diiliculty of collect- ing dues, the only Haw in the plan. VVhen the idea of going through four more years of high school was broached, practically the only idea voiced was, HI would study morcfl Some said, Ngo out for more activities,', while others would take some special subject. Looking over the ballots and considering the number of questions, their great diversity, and the short time to prepare answers, the results were entirely satisfactory to those conducting the poll. Very little horseplay was evident in this year's ballots, the seniors seeming to be serious in their answers and saying what they meant. In the foregoing paragraphs we have tried to give you a composite picture of the average senior, his quirks and fancies. These are the opinions of seniors, matured four year for morej students. Heed them well. l 121
