RES ?OR After casual consideration of the so-called and would-be advice of the senior class, we, the representatives of the junior group, have pondered long and earnestly and have reached these momentous conclusions. We arc certain that if you will take the excellent advice we offor, you will be more like the perfect senior, or be at least a favorable fascimile. We will begin with Margarot. Miss Warrick, remember that beauty is an internal quality, not- an external one. Aiso remember that holding one's temper is an excellent habit, for you can’t have your cake and cat it too.” Albert Applegate, punctuality is a virtue unknown to you. Another thing, keep your set opinions for your relatives, and don't bawl out the girls in front and back of you so frequently.

Donnabelle, the corpse carrying member of our establishment hasn't a ghost of a chance in his post-grad courses v hen you insist on instructing him in Pcch techniquo. Seth, v hy didn't you tell us you like apples? We hear that Myra Tidd's orchard has some excellent fruit. By the way docs Maggie like apples or peaches? Maybe she isn't particular when you're along. Lola, have you ever road How to 'Win Friends and Influence People?” You'll find it in the local library. We quote from Chapter Nine, Speech is golden. Eugene Miller, don't worry about the voice.
