6 what is to come, but we are ready to face it with wagging jaw bones and vamping eye-s. We are full of ambition and Lincoln firms are eager to grab us up, We have nothing to worry about. Didn't a certain speaker at one of our assemblies say that we were up and going during his talk? As 1 started out to say, I feel very sad. I'll never forget the good times us feliers and gals had dur- ing our long stay fsome of us for an even longer onej at good old C, V. H. S. We started them out by throwing vases around in Coach Robson's sophomore English class. Weive always been proud of our record in that class on account of didnlt break a single vase. Then there was the time the school had a bonfire at one of the pep rallies and a fire alarm was sent in to the Lincoln fire department. Ev- ery hook and ladder company in the city ran out to the football Held with sirens screeching, The event rated the Lincoln papers in the next day's editions. And who could forget the C. V. club initia- tion that saw two or three initiat- tiates scrambling up the fire escap- es scrambling up the fire escapes on the Union College girls' dormi- tory at 5:30 in the morning, Girls, with kiinonas held tight, looked out of five hundred different win- dows. The crowning triumph of our last year in high was the bunch of glorious victories we came near winning in both football and bas- ketball, The senior boys this year were 'sure a sickly lot. They were hit by the worst epidemic of petticoat fever the school has ever experienced, Seriously speaking, we are sor- ry to have to 'leave our high school days behind. Good-bye, old alma mater, We shall always remem- ber you as we are sure that you will certainly remember us. if IF is Sneak Day On Thursday morning, May 21, at 5 o'clock about thirty seniors and their sponsors fthe 'three H'sJ rolled out of bed ready for the fun and excitement of Skip Day.
