Sal wm {Uplp A ©ribttfr Baldwin Phelps, Baldwin Phelpa, The man who shakes the grate, Who ' s always tarried, But he ' s going to be married, In nineteen eight. The man behind the broom is just as essentia] to a well-ordered school room as the man behind the book, and this is why we de- vote so much space to our broom holder. Our genial, albeit some- what crusty, janitor has reached the age where he is not carried away by the pranks of school boys and the whims of school girls. His many years of exper- ience as janitor -and general ov- erseer of juvenile gymnastics have made him a most valuable man to the superintendent. His knowledge of everything per- taining to school management, sanitation and architecture, is little short of marvelous. He has endeavored to keep us in the bounds of propriety while in the halls and on the play ground, and we now for the first time confess that we have a warm spot in our hearts for Baldwin. Heretofore we have made him believe that he was our sworn enemy, because he would not let us slide down the baluster or go down the stairs four to six steps at a time. So here ' s to Baldwin, and may the Phelps dynasty continue to hold forth in the future as it has in the past.

A Toast Here ' s to the twelve years we have spent in school. These many years have we toiled and always for a single aim — to do our work and finally graduate from the High School. Many times we have become discouraged and nearly given up hope, but our teachers have helped us through all these despondent times. We do not regret the twelve years spent in school, but believe that the train- ing we have received during this time has been such that our future life will be ennobled and strengthened. We now go forth, each of his own way, yet there is not one of us but cherishes these school days as the happiest and best of our life. With this parting thought we give three cheers for Angola High School, the scene of so many childish joys and sorrows. Again three cheers for A. H. S.
