thf: new crescent OWLS and LARKS The life of a student is just one grand hurry from morning till night. Outside of the asylum there are two great types. One type is the student-lark who loves to see the sunrise, who comes to breakfast with a cheerful morning face, never so fit” as at six a. m. We all know the type. What a contrast to the student-owl with his gloomy morning face, thoroughly unhappy, cheated by the wretched breakfast bell of the two best hours of the day for sleep, no appetite, endowed with an unspeakable hostility to his family, and whose good humor is equally offensive. Only as the day wears on and his temperature gradually rises, does he become endurable to himself and to others. He drags through the monotonous day. His mind is a blank, and he has no inclination to work. The student-lark hurries home immediately after school to study so he can recite perfectly the next day; the student-owl hurries to the Sweet Shoppe. At ten p. m. we see the student-owl really awake while our blithe lark is in a hopeless coma over his books, from which it is hard to rouse him sufficiently to get his shoes off for bed. But our lean owl-friend with bright eyes and cheery face, is ready for four hours of anything you wish—deep study or—. By two a. m. he will undertake—well, we’ll leave that to you. JUST A PARTY On January 16, 1934, the 4A’s and the 4B’s assembled in the high school gymnasium, to enjoy one of the most pleasing class parties ever held. The entertainment was presented in a most delightful (and comical) manner. Naturally at the party, as at all parties, many amusing incidents occurred. One of these was the proposal Melvin Clapper was compelled to give to Cleda Beth. He almost asked her, Did anyone ever tell you you had wonderful eyes?” The party ended at ten p. m. as the students were requested to leave the building at that time. As I have said, the party ended, but the fun lingered on-Get it? Martha Jane Tubbs Pnge Twenty-eight
