26 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER vard, and J 0e Kiley at Hobart are all winning honors at their colleges in the field of athletics. We congratulate all of these members of the alumni and hope for still greater successes for them. To the new members we extend a hearty welcome and best wishes for equal success. OUR GLEE CLUB Eva Globerson, soprano, sings So high yould think her voice had wings To soar above all earthly things, When she leads us off on Thursday. Alice J ean, our alto choice, Warbles in such harmonious voice That we poor other birds rejoice And wish shels sing till Friday. And Don Sturdevanls tenor high Is unsurpassed beneath the sky, uSing Me to Sleep is his lullaby, As listeners gaze in wonder. And the bassesi sectionls bass profound Goes down so low it jars the ground And wakes the echoes for miles around, Like distant rolling thunder.

THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER MISS PEPPYIS DIARY tBy Elizabeth McConnelD March 31-Up betimes and early to school. Game a delegation from Albany to debate with one of our teams. These fellows were very bold, and I, so entirely smitten with their orations, did quake at delivering my poor speech. So to a. dinner, of which I did freely partake, the repast being gratis t0 debaters. u April 1-This morning I stirred not out, but did drink my morning draught 1 of coffee with commendable leisure and in great thiankfulness, for today did 1 begin Easter vacation, to last eleven days. So to pleasure for almost a fortnight I of enjoyment, albeit did greatly envy the young ladies going by train to Washinton foi- vacation. , April 16aFirst put on a summer dress this year, my tlowered tabby gown made two years ago, now laced exceedingly pretty. So to a debate with Ilion, the which I did greatly enjoy. Thither home. April 28, 30wI offered eight shillings for a boy to run me an errand. None would, it being Boysi Weeklyand each gallant being too busy. Anon there came one all booted and spurred, campaigning for Mayor, who did favor me. Did play no favorites in election, for I did mark a cross by every name, believing in equal rights. So weary, so to bed. April '28 tafternoonle-By foot to track meet. Methough myself wearied out by exertions of these fellows. Thence home to supper of oysters and tarts, wnich did please me mightily. , . .. June 18-Regents week-dread words! Up betimes this day and the whole week long, striving to cram the last minute and invoking the guidance of heaven. The regrets that were abroad, for precious moments wasted heretofore, would make things seem in a. very doubtful posture. Yet, now that the fateful days are past, we do all take occasion to give thanks and assume countenances filled with utter contentment. Verily, I know not whether to be glad or otherwise that his is the beginning of the end. Truly, it is strange how greatly one's sentiments may change. Albeit thoughts of the parting of the ways do trouble me mightily, I am confirmed that our hearts should much rejoice at the realization that there Will eVer be a welcome place for us in dear old S. lH. S. MISS PEIPPYIS LAST WORD OF ADVICE FOR 1925-1926 I l l l 1 Dear Miss Peppy: t We are a red shirted gang of alleged students. We find difficulty in attract- t ing the attention of people as we walk along the street. Will you suggest an appropriate gesture which we may use for our purpose? Modestly yours, The Red Coats Dear Red Coats: For gesture, how would a backward falling of the body as suggested by your antecedents of Bunker 'Hill do? Better still, lift your caps in salutation, then pass them among the crowd to the jingle of pennies. A cap with a little feather would go lovely with your red coats. Helpfully yours, Peppy l l l l
