For dramatic ability, you have the present Senior Class to behold as a model for the Seniors of picked two of our members for leading parts in their play ‘'Sappy Picks . The glass of '27 also chose one of our members uo depict a very difficult part in one of their plays. As for music, wo sigh when we think of what the orchestra will bo next year without our pianist and our saxophonist, to say nothing of the singing on Wednesday mornings in the assemble. And in the Junior play, didn t you have to take ono of our rnembors to make your play a success - In baseball, the prosont Senior Class has four men on the first team and onoon tho second string, while in your class there are only throe on tho first team. Who would argue about tho groat catch of Sago's that saved tho game for Argenta in tho Doland game this spring? Our catchor, too, will go down in tho annals of fario for A.C.H.S Should anything happen t.o our regular pitchor wo have who can take tho mound and thon tho battory is made up of tho Soniors. In baskot ball we had two first string non'on the team and who would got the tip off with out Trunnel? Just a little advice from a wise head, Juniors keep your cigarette hedden or don'tsmoke at all, as the enioi o do, also go swimming on Saturday, thon you can have more fun playing baseball on Fciday. Now Juni rs, think over the situation1, and try to conduct your self next year as a worthy Senior should.
