THE CENTENNIAL ADVICE TO THE JUNIORS We the Senior class of 1926, most notable, honorable, respectable and best looking do hereby on our departure from the castle of knowledge, our beloved high school bequeath the Juniors of today, the Seniors of to- morrow a little kindly advice that we sincerely hope will be used in their school year to come. It is not because we are older, more intelligent, or better looking what we do this, but it is because you the Seniors of next year need the advice to succeed and make the school what it should be. You are taking our places not full filling but just occupying them for it would be impossible to have as efficient class members as we have had, two good classes cannot come in succession, it would be unintelligible to think so. You as a class have done well but the test comes when you are a senior and only by your untireing work and our adivce will you be able to scale the wall. In the past you have been too boisterous, unstudious and lacking in judgement. You will have to calm down, settle down, get your lessons and be courteous to the teachers. Certain members are not what they should be. Scotty McMiIlian, for instance is getting too extravagant with his money and not living up to his Scotch blood. He threw a penny away last winter, which, by all means, is a disgrace to Scotland. Abbie Lund ruined the Masons, she will have her conscience to settle with. Inar Rovriet is fool- ing with Dot’s this will have co be stopped immediately. Helen McHose has a natural born man killer nature she’s killed more men by her mean ways than the world war. Edith Black will have to abandon her flirtatious ways or she is liable to be a Holst. Mable Clark and Charles Cole are getting too intimate all there is between them is a marriage license. Bob Moe is get- ting too studious he is likely to get the brain fever. Mildred Sivertsen has pierced more hearts than Cupid himself, this will have to be stopped if suc- cess as a Senior is desired. These are just a few of your faults there are too many to mention, all of these difficulties will have to be over come. We are telling you. a few of your faults with hopes that they will be rem- edied, but this can be done only by overcoming them within the next year. Will you be able to keep the Purple and Gold waving on high and keep the High School from sinking in oblivion. Do not indulge too much in the pursuit of happiness, get your work first and happiness will come later. So with saddest regrets we leave wishing you success although we know you cannot possibly come up to the standards of the Class of 26’. TED HOMAN. CHARLIE CHANDLER’S LULLABY There, there, little janitor! Don’t you cry. You’ll own the building—by and by. Mr. Rice: “Alex, what was the biggest mistake made in history?' ’ Alex: “That’s easy. It was when Noah included two fleas in his ark passenger list.” Mildred McCoy: “I wonder why a girl can’t catch a ball like a man?” Helen McHose: “Oh, a man is so much bigger and easier to catch.”

THE CENTENNIAL SENIOR CLAS.S POEM Tell me not in mournful letters That our grades are all a dream For we have learned from our betters And we are not quite so green. Knowledge is real, we are earnest And a college is our goal We must work, “To farm returneth Was not spoken by our souls. All enjoyment and no sorrow Are the paths we'd like to trod But we'll find the stones are many As along life’s road we plod. We the Seniors now are leaving And it is more than right That we leave advice behind us, To help others in the fight. In the future when you're roving Be not like a pile of bricks Be progressing, keep on going Like the Class of '26. Trust no liquor, however pleasant, Let the ‘Chesterfields' alone Go to bed at nine each evening And with pain you'll never moan. Lives of Seniors all remind us, We can always do our best. And departing leave behind us Notebooks that will help the rest. Notebooks that perhaps a Junior Verging on the very brink Seeing all the well earned 90's, Will take heart and will not sink. Let us then at graduation When into the world we pass Give three cheers for old Big Sandy And the worthy Senior Class. LESLIE MILLER '26.
