Rooms II and 1.1 Many were the trials which these people endured during the first few weeks of their high school life.

The Sophomores took great delight In tramping on these children, but the Seniors. (tc-nder-hc-nrt -d souls : i picked their way carefully thru the halls and not ono Freshman did they trample under foot. Finally, afier the half year exam , the Frcables' head grew so large ihat their todies expanded In proportion, until at the present writing they are fait grown, and hots' some day to fill the.r vacuum skulls with that dope which tho faculty calls learning.''
