The editors, speaking for the Jour¬ nal Club, are very proud of the record of the club and of the JOURNAL for the year. Of course, from one stand¬ point , the high spot of the JOURNAL’S year has been the.a- ward given us by Columbia Uni¬ versity through the Columbia University interscolastic Press Association. We were rated third, with 714 points. Since the Association includes school papers all over the United States, we feel that we can take a bow on this. Not very far behind it, though, is the fact that the JOURNAL has paid its way. We admit that, two years ago, we were financed to the extent of a bottle of copying ink and some gelatin, with which to make a hectograph out of a tin tray Mr. Gillam had thrown out. But we paid back for them, am have stood on our own feet ever since. At the end of our first year, we had a net profit of eighty cents, with which to print a final edition of the paper for the Freshman Class. This year the JOURNAL ' S total income was slightly over two hundred and fifty dollars. We don’t mind a little applause for this, either. We have bought -and paid for! a mimeograph this gear. It is a hundred-and-twenty-five dol¬ lar model, factory rebuilt, for which we paid seventy-five dollars. This issue of the JOURNAL contains eight pages of half¬ tone pictures. The Journal Club paid for the taking of the photographs, the making of the plates, and their printing by the Gazette- Journal Printing Company.Ev¬ ery pupil in Botetourt High and Grammar Schools, in Ware Neck, Walter Reed, Naxera, Martins a, .a Signpine has his or her picture in these pages. We think this issue will be valued on that account, and we take a bow for it. ' Every pupil of Botetourt who has contributed to three cr more issues of the JOURNAL during the year has auto¬ matically become a member of .he Journal Club. Repeating -he policy cf last year, ....ach one of those will re¬ ceive a solid silver club pin as a reward. Those who were active this year after receiving the pin last year, will receive guards for their pins. We have had our troubles. Lots of them. For instance , the copy from Signpine and Naxera schools had not come in when we simply had to go to press. We’re sorry about that6 But after all, looking at the record, at this issue, and at the prospects for the future, we think the JOURNAL can take a bow. -Mary Jenkins -Margaret Lamberth -Minnie Robins - -Margaret Sibley.

There are forty-seven Juniors, who look forward with a sad,eweet pain to the idea of becoming Seniors. We Juniors have watched this year’s Senior class with a certain amount of pain. We don’t believe that Seniors have to be like that } but we sympathize with them any¬ how, and we are taking them on a party to prove we like them. But just the same, we, the Juniors, have solemn¬ ly resolved that next year, when we are Seniors, we will be different. We have resolved that we will not act important, but try to do important things. As individuals, we have made ether good resolutions along the same line. Stephen Thruston has resolved not to sing in public as often as Edward Fields. Margaret Lamberth has resolved not to recite like Ann Byrd Atkins, but to do quite other¬ wise and much better. Bobby ' Harper has resolved to decline the legacy of Cath¬ erine Catlett ' s friendship left him by Shields Fletcher, and will hunt up somebody fascinating who knows Latin, like Cornelia live. Minnie Robins has resolved not to be like Cecilia Clopton next year, but to pass on her boy-friends to her friends. Mary Jenkins has resolved not to try to excel the nightin¬ gale of this year’s Senior Class, Charlotte Boush. Virginia Fletcher has resolved that when she plays piano solos, they shall be very different from those Hcylo Roane plays. Margaret Foster has resolved that in preparation for being a Senior next year,she will try not to worry about Junie Robins leaving school. Frances Muse has resolved to get a figure lixe Esther Sutton, which is the solitary compliment paid the Seniors by this year ' s Junior iass. Everett Powers has resolved that, having seen the con¬ sequences of Spencer Vaughan’s habit of stealing the hearts of all the girls, that he will not fascinate more than two or three at a time. Tommy Brothers has resolved not to stop growing like Roy Nuttall did. But in addition to making these resolutions, the Junior Class proposes to be helpful,now, as they now wish last year ' s Juniors had done. To this year ' s Scphcmcres, who will bo Juniors next year, we offer the following useful tips$ Latin II, which many of you will take next year, is hard, If you take it, you ' ll have to study. We tried, but didn’t find any way out. Everett Rich will find it wise to take a seat on the third row in Junior room, if he wants tc be seen by Ada Oliver. Geometry is a good subject. It is just hard enough, and you can help each other and talk all you want. —-You’re welcome! OF THE ARE FIFTY MEMBERS 3CPHTM0RE CLASS. WHICH, SAY THEIR TEACHERS, IS IIDEFTY .

To Whom It May Concern; We, the Freshmen, speak out for the last time as the Freshman Class. We have been a pretty swell Freshman Class, if we do say it ourselves, apd we serve notice that we are going to keep on sticking to¬ gether. For instance, the Freshman Class stands up for Harvey Pointer. If he wants to sit at the same table with Frances Muse every study hall, he does it for reasons of his own. It’s not because he is a Freshman. It ' s his own idea, but we stand up for him. We stand up for Hughie Dis- chinger, too. If he has changed so suddenly from one girl to another, he thinks that s his own idea too. But we know the new girl had the idea first. Also we stand behind Herbert Farinholt. Maybe he is as crazy about Carey Lawson as he makes cut. But maybe he ' s trying to get somebody else’s goat, too. Billy Nuttall is not as bashful as he used to be. The Freshman class says, So What?” He has a right not to be bash¬ ful. Besides, what can anybody do when the love bug bites them? And the Freshman Class stands up for Eugene Nuttall. We intend to tease him outselves, but to all others we defend his right to get sentimental. -The Freshmen. This summer, we- can all foresee, Shields Fletcher will see C. C . C.

There are thirty-throe Seventh Graders in Miss Kemp’s room,and thirty-five in Miss Trent’s. Squeaks says the beys bring the best lunches. I 7 Y, but I shall be lonesome with¬ out having the Seventh Grade in school all Summer. I’ll miss the hum and buzz of a room full of Seventh Graders all busily not studying. And I shall miss the excitement, too. I’m sure I was seen behind the radiator one day last week. It was because I was squeaking at the top of - my voice. I hadn’t any reason except that everybody else was making a noise , so I wanted to, too. (I couldn’t possibly make as much noise as Audrey Brown, though. Not me and all my uncles and cousins put together.) I should have kept quiet. My toe is still hurting me. You know, the one that got hit with a spit-ball. I have a sort of idea that maybe the boys in this year’s Seventh Grade arc jealous and don’t want me to belong with any other Seventh Grade and are trying to get rid of me. It would serve mo right, maybe, because here I’ve been talking all this time and no scandal! Let’s see! Dorothy Thomas is letting her hair grow out. I suspect I know why, but it would be nice if she were just fixing a nice hiding- place for me., She wouldn’t wear a rat in her hair, but a mouse, now. Named•Squeak?. That is a good idea! And then there s Walter Edwards. He’s always winking at Trevi—man Kerns. Imagine winking in school! But Earl Robins has become so good lately th ' t that’s a scandal. He sits so still and nice! Deary me! I’d be sure he was going to grow up to be president if I didn’t know he’s so good just be¬ cause Mildred Lam borth makes goo-goo ey .;3 at him when he is being good._ But talking about things like that, I wonder what would happen it Ada Oliver stayed in her seat for an entire period? I think I’d die of shock, but I’m not worried. It won’t happen. My main worry right now is my corn. It hurts. You see, it’s not only that it got hit last week by a spit-ball, but I’ve been having to trayel sc far lately. I have my own home, y ' u know, convenient to the Seventh Grade. But the past few days, - it’s very queer-, the Seventh Grade hasn’t been at home - I went in the room, and it was empty. No boys or girls anywhere. But there were some funny little crea tures in there. Very funny little things. I tried t to play with them, but I wished I hadn’t. They bit my sore tee, and I got sc itchy,.... So now I’m running over to the Seventh Grade’s new room. It’s going to be awfully lonesome this summer! Thera are thirty-nine pupils in the Fourth Grade, and thirty- four iry.the sixth. They are too busy to be literary for the JOURNAL On Thursday, April 14th. the Sixth Grade Hobby C n ub had an Easter Party.

Dear Driver: Today my daughter who is seven years old, started to school as usual. She wore a dark blue dress with a white collar. She had on black shoes and wore blue gloves. Her cocker-spaniel, whose name is Sc-oots , sat on the front porch and whined his canine belief in the folly of education as she waved Good-bye and started off to the halls of learning. Tonight we talked about school. She told me about the girl who sits in front of her - the girl with yellow curls- and the bey across the aisle who makes funny faces. She told me about her teacher, who has eyes in the back of her head - and about the trees in the school yard - and about the big girl who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot of things - tremendously vital, znimportant things; then we studied spelling, reading and arithmetic, - and then to bed. She’s back there now - back in the nursery- sound asleep, with Princess Elisabeth (that ' s a doll) cuddled in her right arm. You guvs wouldn ' t hurt her, would you? You see, I’m her daddy. When her doll is broken or her finger is cut, or her head gets bumped, I can fix it -but whon she starts to school, when she walks across the street, then she f, s in your hands. She’s a nice kid. She can run like a deer and darts about like a chipmunk. She likes to ride horses and swim and hike with me on Sunday afternoons. But I can’t be with her all the time, -I have to work to pay for her clo.th4s and her education. So please help me to look out for her. Please drive carefully, please drive slowly past the schools and intersections - and please remember, that children run from behinl parked cars. Please, don’t hurt my little girl INSURE FOR SAFETY SOUTHS®! OlWtJRANCE AGEfolCV Gloucester Va. Phone 94 The Home Economics Club of Botetourt School consists of 28 members.
