The Grumbler Speaks Oh-h-h-hi What a hard chair! Why can't we have cushioned chairs,especially in study hall. What is a study hall good for any how? We come here for a brief rest between these classes taught by stern teachers. It should be a place of cemfort,peace,and quiet, but instead here is another teacher who watches us with an eagle eye to see that we sit up straight and have our eyes on the pages of a book constantly. When the bell clangs for us to go to our classes, we are so tired from study that we find it hard to pay attention to the discussion. Even here we can not close our tired eyes to rest them. I think something should be done about such tyranny in the class room. I hope he gets tired of my staring at him not even as much as blinking an eye. And stairs! Did you ever see so many flights of stairs in a school building for tired pupils to climb a dozen times a day?Real1y there should be an elevator installed. I'd be willing to play elevator boy part of the time. The lockers are too small. One can't crowd half of his belongings into them. When I opened my locker this morning that horrid English Lit- erature book fell out and hit my foot. For a minute I eouldn't walk. Then along came Mr. Crawford and said,n No loafing in the hall, p1ease,U nCould I help it if I eou1dn't walkil was finally able to hobble to my English class and what should Mr. Koch give us today of all days, but a test, I soon wished that buck ned hit me on the head and put me out of slat musery. I know I failed it, Woe's me! The problem of the window shades is becoming more and more unbearable every dey. 3emeone should invent a shade that vould raise or lower according to the sun. We are not supposed to ad- just them. Sometimes the teacher neglaets to do so. There we sit, the sun blinding us and we can't even close our eyes to escape it. Please won't someone come to our rescue? Yours grumblingly, .Kent R. Erofit

Prophecy for Class of 1957 iast week 3 returned from a trip around the worldf I'm sure some of my experiences will interest you, In New York where I went first, I discover- ed a class mate, Dorothy Kesler, who is style manager in a large department storey I also saw Bernard Hertel who had just the day before won a case which established him the title of New York most outstanding lawyer. A few days later I left New York and went to Hollywood, Here I found two of my girl friends, Mary Stemen and Margaret Wisea Mary is Warner Bros. head beauty operator and Mar- garet is private secretary to Harry Pomeroy. It was soon time for me to journey on. My next stop was Florida. Here I stayed at the Matthews hotel. Mrs. Matthews was the former Kathryn Profit, In Chicago, my next stop, I found Russel Roberts who is owner of Chicago's most exclusive night club. I also met his wife, Gnce more I went back to New York but this time only long enough to book passage on the ship the nfersian to go to Europe. While I was making this trip, the ship's dance band under the direction of Bob Johnson, was awarded a radio contractg During this voyage I also saw thc former Esther Erica and her husband who were making their annual trip to Europo4 In England a grave crisis was again con- fronting thc nationa King George Vlll was con- sidering abdicating his throne for the love of an American woman, Luolla Segerl I wonder if the English uon't change their slogan nGod save the kingn to 'God save the king from American women'? in Paris, France I was much surprised to seo Mabel Johnson and Glendora Stump. Mabel is studying music and Glendora is an American designer who is designing American gowns for the French. In that beautiful country of Switzerland, where I visited a short time later, I found Kent Profit and Elizabeth Sochor who were vaca- tioning there. . S
