She is very fond of liova, and just loves to he teased about them. Her name is now Hazel Kerland, hut it is difficult to tell when it will Ire changed. Oh, how Aliens does love his cigarettes, hut 1 will have to give him credit for Ireing able to keep from smoking when he makes up his mind to do so. He says he is going to college, but In is more apt to go to the dogs if he does not change his present habits. It would not seem correct to say just “Iternal Leary so we say “liernal •Joseph rhristopher l eary.’ He is operating a distillery, poor boy, a very bad beginning for one so young. We Seniors poked fun at him and tried to get him to stop, but he said be was making good money, lie sells his product for twenty cents a gallon. We have stopjred saying Kathryn, and call her “Miss Ward. Von wonder why? Well, we have a very good reason. It is quite hard to make a sudden change in our talk, so we started making the change early. There is not so much difference in the pronunciation of “Miss and “.Mr». but oodles of difference in the meaning; we are looking forward to this time. riifford I’urtis was nicknamed “Turly for reasons that are unknown. He likes to look at magazines, and sleep in school. He is very good natured, but woe lietide the prson who teases him about walking with a girl! With one squeeze of his l ear-paw hands, you would look like a lemon, just returned from the squeezer. I hate to admit it, but it is the truth (and no one should hesitate about telling the truth I that one nieniltcr is awfully fond of the streets. Lyle I'etiix spends all of his spare time roving the streets and getting into trouble. He says he has nothing else to do, hut we know that this is a falsehood. In school he could certainly raise his grades. He doesn’t do any more work than he is com- piled to do. I am also sorry to say that he has more bad habits than any other Senior. We have tried to change his habits of living, but he is like the old say ing, “Von can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” Well, I’ve talked alsmt all the rest of my classmates, but 1 couldn’t find a single thing to say about myself. I see some one has very considerately written my failings, too, with the absurd idea that I will have to read it. .lust to show them my heart is in the right place, I will read it. “Paul Armstrong, the only dignified iiiemlter of the Senior class, is forever reminding the rest of us that we should at least show our age around the |M»or innocent Presides. He is always bossing us around and telling us what to do. That would l e all right, if we didn’t mind, but the worst of it is, we always do exactly as he says and are forever running to him to ask what else we should do. We’ll surely l e glad when we have to do something for ourselves without his forever telling us how, even though we do ask him. If we could think of any more to say about him, we surely wouldn’t hesitate, hut we ll use discretion this time and leave him alone. “The Other Seniors.” Now speaking to the teachers in general, and spaking for the entire Senior class, we have appreciated what you have taught us and we are glad to leave you, not because we think it impossible to get along any more, but to put into practice what we learned while under your supervision. It wounds me deeply to have to make all of these remarks about yon, but nobody is ever too old to make use of valuable advice given by others. Paul Armstrong.

CLASS GRUMBLER For several weeks spring has been here. The flowers mi» blooming. After going through the mill for the last four years, we Seniors should he in high spirits. At times it seemed as if the teachers tried their l est to take all the joy out of life hut we proved to them that the students of this Senior elass weren't as easy to lose interest as the students they have hitherto caused to remain in high school another year. Perhaps some of us hang our heads, and have to hold to the railing on the stairs because we are so nearly exhausted. Who, hut a senior, takes two or three hooks home and comes hack next morning with dark rings around his eyes? The only ones I ran think of are Mr. Peterson and Miss Blake. Mr. Peterson Idealise of trying to find work enough for us, and Miss Blake—well, it's hard to tell why. Now we are through with our tearhers, and they with us. 1 dare not try to guess which is the happiest. I think it is impossible for them to he any happier than we, because we have two things to be happy for—namely, we are through high school and through with them; they have only one they are through with us. When we were Freshmen and Sophomores, we thought high school was all sunshine, and we were like morning-glories just after they have opened. We thought school was a place to go and enjoy ourselves. When we were Juniors the days were a little cloudy, and we began to think ourselves like the morning- glory about eight o'clock. Now we are Seniors, and I am almost afraid to tell what we are like, because 1 am not the on 1 v Senior, and the other eight might tar and feather me. However, this is a free country where freedom of speech is allowed, so I would say that we, all nine, are like the morning-glory about noon, when the sun has been blistering hot all morning. Perhaps the greatest difficulty this year, outside of our regular studies, has l eeii in printing “The Spotlight. I do not think there was a single paper printed without an argument about some trivial thing, such as a misspelled word, (if course, if we looked it up in the dictionary t lie its would lie nothing to argue about. Mr. Peterson was very clever in helping us get started, but he was still more clever in letting us wade through without his help. Last fall Mr. Peterson said we would have to take what he gave us; he stated before tlie entire student body that we had to look out for ourselves, and that lie didn't want us here next year. At the time we thought he was joking, but we have found lie wasn't. All winter long, we had to lie careful what we said to our teachers so I am taking this opportunity to get even with them. Perhaps you have noticed 1 have not said anything about Mr. Hawley. The reason for this is that I am not as well acquainted with him, also lie did not make any remarks about wanting to get us out of school. Of course we know how glad he is, because we Seniors were unearthly difficult for him to teach. I don't think it is fair to grumble about the teachers and not say anything about my classmates because we have our ups and downs, too. Now 1 will take each in order and see what can he done. .Mary Lose is a terribly slow walker, but very sociable. I do not know if she walks slowly so she may chat with one ofUns Iwiys when we walk with her, or whether it is to keep us from walking with her, for it is terribly difficult to keep the same pace. Myrtel Bowman certainly likes to argue. He will argue over the most insig- nificant things, too. He usually has his way liecause he talks continually so that no one else can show him where he is wrong.

As tlie result of this announcement, a wild scene took place amidst the frantic pleading and scrambling among her friends for that so long coveted glory; but she has tried to be just, as well as unselfish, and will distribute her gifts among those who will make the best use of the talents that have served her so faithfully during these four strenuous years.
