Reply to Charge Dear Seniors: JIJjtE, the Junior Class of 1911, wish to ™ thank you for the small share of your wisdom (?), which you have been kind and thoughtful enough to impart to your successors. We shall endeavor to follow up the plans that you have so carefully mapped out for us, aud to pursue your footsteps, which we admit are too large for us to cover, but nevertheless, we shall attempt to step in them. We fully appreciate the fact that the Board of Education has so much confidence in us, as Juniors, and such compassion for us, as to allow us the privilege of being the first Senior Class in the new High School, for you have left very little in the old. We shall endeavor to show our appreciation by keeping, at least, the backs on the seats in the rear row, which, of course, will be new in our honor. We realize that there are only a few weeks more in which we shall be able to look upon our “advisers” within the structure known for years as the Goshen High. For the past year we have watched your movements and are now beginning to feel capable of knowing what we should not do, during our Senior year. It is with the deepest regret that we think of you as soon starting on the road of life’s trials. That joy and success may attend every member of your class, through the many years to come, is the wish of your Junior followers. C. A. S., 12. Spencer: “Good evening, Mrs. Potter, 1 came to see if your daughter, Miss Ethel, would go for a walk with me.” Miss Ethel: “How do you do, Spencer, I should be delighted. Mama do I look fit to go to the restaurant?” Sayer: “Are you going to the speaking contest ? ’ ’ Molly: “No, but Joe is.” Earl: “It’s all off, Molly; it fell through.” “Roswell,” the schoolma’am asked, “Why are you scratching your head?” “Cause nobody else knows just where it itches.” Papa: “Where have you been, Johnny?” Johnny: “Fishing.” Papa: “Come into the woodshed and we’ll have a whaling expedition.” “All right on behind there?” called the conductor from the front of the car. “Hold on,” cried a shrill voice, “wait ’till I get my clothes on!” The passengers craned their necks expectantly. A small boy was struggling to get a basket of laundry aboard.
