As I gaze into the fire watching the flames rapidly fly, I seelmy pupils one by one flit before me. They are quick and have the power of a giant. Somehow they are eleventh grade, faces that I see tonight: Bill's flirt of the head when I call on him to recite, Elizabeth's pleasing smile when I am reading something that she enjoys, jim turns off and gazes when I stop in the middle of a sentence because he is whispering to Mary Elizabeth, Thur- man crooks hiselbow and rests his head on his hand when we have an oral English lesson, Aubrey turns to one side and smiles when he reads the mistakes of his essays-4. But that reminds methat eleventh grade essays came' in today. I wonder what they did with that assignment., A V Connie's handwriting is A just like her. The whole essay is clear and neat with straight margins and 'accurate spacing. The steaming hot supper she describes is appetizing too, and once more I get to the end of the paper without having to make a single red cross in the margin. Curtis's essay comes next. I can't keep from laughing. My brain begins to pucker itself. I seem to see him writing the paper, picking up words, consulting the dictionary for big words and weigh- ing them in his hand, until .he gets that which he desires. Yet with all the care he has taken, there are many errors-an apostrophe omitted, a period for a question mark, and after all he has used the most extraordinary words. I am almost tempted to dip my pen into the black ink instead of the red. All excited, I grab the stack of papers. jim's paper is on top. AI like its fresh, boyish vigor, and there's not an error in it. Jewel's is next. I like the way it starts. I like the next sentence still better. Honesty is the best policy. I can see the characters in her story. The rest doesn't exactly measure up, but that one sen- tence makes the essay worthwhile. Then I smile broadly, for there is Irvin's spraw- ling handwriting on the page before me. I always f . I ll, DC be .Ty t 1 like to read his essays. But why should he write about a trip when I asked for something more defi- rite? I go. on reading when suddenly my imagina- tion stops with a jerk as stare at the well-known Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginian-written in lit- tle letters! There's,a beautiful simile later on that ,causesme to forget and forgive, and again I lay aside a paper that I have fully enjoyed. Margaret, Macon, Katherine, and Brodie seem to have misunderstood the assignment. For Mar- garet writes about the feasting on young monkeys in the jungles of Africaf' which I don't believe she has ever done. Macongwrites about the modern girl. Katherine writes about the newest method of curling hair. p Brodie writes about Student Govern- ment. Perhaps some day he will be governor over some one besides students. ,Other faces of my ,pupils come and go as the hours wear on, finally the glowing coals fade into ashes, and I go off to bed, hoping that dawn will bring a solution to my problem. A AMASIQUERADE. fLILLIAN EUDYJ In a small North -Carolina town, one drug store, one theatre, and one dance hall were-the onlygplaces of amusement for the younger set. Tonight was a great occasion. It was the night of the annual New Year Masquerade Ball. The weather was just as all the boys and girls had been longingifor-icold, a clear full -moon, a snow coverediworld. , -It was ideal. . . . Sue Webster was' a typical blonde, with short auburn hair and blue violet eyes, and a smooth deli- cate complexion. As she slipped her fancy costume over her head, her eyes flashed with anger, then she looked into her mirror and gave a chuckling, happy giggle. 1 - ' Maybe I am just afhigh school baby as Tom thinks I am, but I'm going to that ball! Brothers do make me tired when they go away to college! Why, last year Tomwas .delighted to take me to the Ball, but now-he acts. as if it were a social break to take his sister toia dance. He even drawled out .I-T-WELVE 1 ' 'ww-ug xi f 4'-' 1 ,phil .. ,. . . ., . . .. 11 - ,.. 1... - f, - - . 1 -, xvgy- rw-wig? QW .- '. -'K 'P' 'v -if 4 -v ' ' 7 - - ' .. ' , . ....- x, wi., l .

Surely T rudie has been all the medicine the class has needed for four years. She always has her gig- gles with her in fair or stormy weather, during holidays or exams. The A. H. S. will miss the sun- shine she always scatters and the giggles with which she punctuates the silence of study periods. ALTA WHITLEY. Speech is silver, silence is golden. This seems to be Altals policy. She is our small- est girl-physically speaking-but mentally, Alta is huge. Oh, how her wonderful geometry grades have been envied! V Great things are expected of Alta. May her efforts in life equal those of school life and her success be even greater. . Lois WATSON. Smilin' through. That short motto of Lois works wonders on her schoolmates. She always observes it. Maybe she smiles to show her beautiful teeth but maybe we would too if those priceless pearls were our own. Anyway, her magneticsmiles and sweet disposition have more friends for her that we will not attempt to number. T' MOLLY TUCKER. Happiness ischeaper than worry, So why pay the higher price. Molly is one of those girlsiwho believes in en- joying life, and overlooking the troubles which bob up daily. Well, maybe you think I care, says Molly when something goes wrong. That is exactly the way Molly feels about itg so she does just what she wishes to.. f ' Lois: 'fWhere did Victor Hugo? S Ruth: I don't know. Lois: I'll ask her.

HI-SKETCHES - l It T ll . --,-' 'fb this evening that he thought he'd take that fstuck- upl Dorothy Phillips. Mother, do all boys act like 'I om -when they begin college? Yes, my dear, it's only natural. Sue, I think 1' om will really be sorry he didn't ask you when he sees you in that lovely costume. Now, do hurry or you will be dreadfully late, answered Sue's gentle, kind mother. Oh mother, I do hope we can play this joke successfully. Yes, I'm gone this minute. Sue kissed her mother and ran down the stairs. bk 96 Dk The ball room was a combination of colors, not a dull corner in the place. Clowns dancing with beautiful ladies, a Chinese girl chatting with a Rus- sian peasantg a modern American girl and a pirate flirting, was what a lovely fairy saw as she entered the ball room. Her partner was a Brownie. That fairy! Without a doubt she was the most beautiful girl on the floor, and as the joy-making continued she proved to be the most popular. Tom thought he knew all the girls in his home town, but he was quite positive he had never laid eyes on this girl. As he was pondering whether to begin asking who she was, an accident occurred. The fairy's partner, Mr. Brownie, lost his mask. ' By jove! Itls Jack Wilson, exclaimed Tom in surprise. I thought he told me as we played tennis this afternoon that held decided not to attend the dance. I While jack was endeavoring to recover his mask, a dashing pirate swung the light-footed fairy away for a waltz. Tom made his way to Jack's side. Say, ole man, who's the fairy? Here, Tom, do help me fasten this mask. Sure, But, I say, that's some swell girl you brought to the dance. Won't you introduce me when we unmaskP The deuce! That pirate will have entirely es- caped with my fairy before you fasten that mask. Put a little speed in your finger tips! When the unruly object was suitably adjusted, jack started off without a word, but Tom wasn't to be bluffed like that. Raising his voice slightly he asked, But you will introduce me, won't you? No answer. Well, what could be the matter with Jack? He and Tom had been the best of pals last year in high school and here he was not even answering a civil question. Well, anyway, he wanted to meet that fairy! - Only once during the evening did he have a dance with the fair fairy, and then Jack cut in. When the order to unmask was given, Tom made it happen that he was standing near. Then jack whirled the fairy towards Tom and between spells of laughter said, ffMiss Webster, meet my sophisti- cated collegel friend, Mr.-Tom-Joseph-Web ster! After more laughing he continued while Tom just stared, HI heard you tell Sue you were go- ing to take Dorothy Phillips, and I knew it wasn't so. You see my brother took her to Charlotte yes- terday, where she is to spend three or four days with a friend. Sue and I decided we'd pull a little joke. At last Tom seemed to understand and then he blushed and stammered out, 'fOh, I get you, at last, Sue. You wanted to teach me you are not such a baby after all. Well, you certainly gave me a start when you unmaskedf' Then he regained all his old spirits as Sue, Jack, and he sped off in jack's road- ster. . CLASS OFFICERS.
