Just About Through In turning back three pages of the book of time we remember many things which we have almost forgotten. We see ourselves as we made our debut into this good old school. Some of us were very grim and determined and yet some more of us were too scared to talk. But at last we got through that year and were very puffed up when the nice teachers told us of our future possibilities. CI wonder if they still think so?j The second year revealed us as sophomores. We were organized as a class and we can all remember how badly we wanted a party, but finally decided fate was against us and gave it up. Time flew and our junior year appeared. We began to realize our responsibilities and took our share of the work. Another page leads us to the events of the present year. Above nll we shall forever remember our red and blue class sweaters, as this was something which had never been donel before. And now graduation, which has been the goal of our class, will soon be attained. XVhat can be said of us seniors? Can the usual things be endorsed? ls our class an ex- ception to the general rule? Well, we leave this up to your judgment, but we will say that we did prove ourselves intelligent by choosing our class officers. We chose Francis Henderson for president, Josephine Sloan for vice-president, Lairy McCarel for secretary, and Earl Griffin for treasurer. The officers of the mid-year class were Marie Woodsides, presidcntg Chester Wolfe, vice-presidcntg Marcel Borst, secretaryg Mary F. Houser, treasurer. We believe that life holds much, and it is with high hopes that we are looking for- ward to new achievements in a future day.

Water Fountains The water fountains of dear old lflwood High School are looked upon with mutual interest by everybody. They refresh the weary traveler between classes. As he drinks the cool, sparkling fluid. he thanks the inventor for water fountains. The fountains are used as a meeting place for gossipers, lovers. and hall strollers. A student almost needs a police escort to get through the mob that collects around fountains between classes. Here we see mischievous students meeting their mischievous friends to give and receive mischievous ideas for the next class. The chivalrous knights of the school fight to show their hospitality to the fair maidens by assisting them in causing the water to spurt all over their faces anti in their hair. Thtn there is the pleasant thought of water being flavored with some carelessly dropp.d chewing gent. Very often the students can have any flavor they desire, Some prefer Beech-nut, otliers Spearmint. and still others would much rather have Dentyne. Students are disappointed because soda fountains are not installedg but with flavored water they are hardly necessary. The students are not alone in their res wect and admiration for the water fountains. l Teachers, after trying to teach a stupid class. also frequent them apparently to refresh themselves. The wav some of our teachers shout to hold the attention of wanderin Y minds, there . S is little wonder they muist rtish to the fountains between classes in an effort to restore failing voices. lndeed, water fountains are very important to both students and faculty. We thank them for the part they play in our institution. --Dittoius Bot.iNt.i-it Vocations, Good and Bacl ffillllffllllfil from lltqi' Ill llave an ambition to be remembered. not as a great lawyer, doctor. merchant, scien- tist, scholar, btit as a great man, every inch a king. Study yourself, said Longfellow, and, most of all, note well wherein kind nature meant you to excel! People always believe in a man with a fixed purpose, and will help him twice as quickly as one who is loosely or indifferently attached to his vocation. and liable at any time to make a change or fail. Everybody knows that determined men are not likely to f'ail. They carry in their very pluck, grit, anti determination the conviction and assur- ance of success. f C. C. Hittis Neil I6 ln? .
