They leave the same as last year’s class, And more will go, as is the rule. So seniors come and seniors go, And all feel ’bout the same inside; They love their school, they leave with woe, But they don’t dare betray their pride. The seniors think of days long past When days begin to disappear. They think of friends they’ll leave at last And graduation ever near. But past is past and time will speed, And seniors must be ready too; But this year’s seniors will succeed.

When the Board of Education decides to hire Miss Jane Gardner to help with the girls’ counseling, poor Gordon really has problems. He becomes furious when Miss Gardner has to live temporarily in the guidance office-hanging clothes, leaving cosmetics (?), etc., everywhere. However,wo- men-hating is soon removed from Gordon’s personality-after he has had a chance to really know Miss Gardner. 70 DRESS REHEARSAL I’ve been drafted? Leave my mother out of this!
