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!

The Freshman Class has a membership of forty-one, which mekos twenty romances ana one left. over. 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.
