,ww ' i 4 I These facts show what the world is coming to. There seems to be little dignity in any of the people, save the Senior, and it is feared that if the others continue in their present manner they will influence the Seniors to be as rude as they are. One of my Senior classmates handed the above essay to me last week saying, That expresses my views to a knock down! Now us Seniors of Bristol High, we're treated about as bad as kin be. Why! that essay donlt more'n half cover the abuses that we get! I tried to interrupt, but he waved me aside as he continued. You know yourself that the teachers are so sceptical of our honesty that they lock the book cases, and then we haf'ta sign our handle on a card before we kin get a book. Just look who they got fer the hig-mucky-muck of the library. Then cast yer orbs on the condition of building. It's about the most ramshackel hut in the burg. The only thing that holds the thing together is the cobwebs. And in spite of these a piece of plaster came loose the other day and came nigh crock- ing me on the dome! The grading system the teachers got is as punk as any I've seen. Why they ain't no boys ever gets on the honor roll and some of the Freshman boys even didn't pass the semester exams. Now my dear fellow, I said to him as he paused for breath, I fear you have taken rather a critical viewpoint of the situation. I will venture that you will find BRISTOL is the best little High around. It is being con- ducted under modern methods- What? Did you say modern? yelled the Senior. Why, man! Bristol High don't know how to be modern no more'n an Egyptian mummy! She is so fer behind the times that she teaches Caesar fer cur- rent events, and thinks that Lindbergh discovered America. Sending this last fling over his shoulder, he withdrew. For a time I was at a loss to understand my friend's attitude, for BRISTOL HIGH has always seemed a splendid school to me. Since, how- ever, I have learned a possible source of my friend's irritation, he and his best girl had just previously quarreled, and he was in a grouchy mood when he read my essay on the Senior High School Student.

,mu i I I I CLASS GRUMBLE THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT There are people in the world that believe the pathway of life is pav- ed with pleasure and flanked with roses. Naught but disappointment is in store for such individuals, for, although there are numerous walks of life teach having its particular characteristicsl, each is terminated by the common goal: death. Too, the traveler of any one of the walks is des- tined to meet undesirable situations together with people that will cause him no little displeasure. The above statements are rendered after a care- ful consideration of the matter and, therefore, arise from no pessimistic sentiment. In the case of the Senior, most people are inclined to believe that he is a happy mortal. They think, because he has made great accomplish- ments, that he glories in them g but alas! does he? If not, then, Why not? Simply because his inferiors fail to justly credit him for his marvelous achievements and so do not fully appreciate or acknowledge his superiority. For instance: when a Senior is chosen to represent his school in some ac- tivity of public interest he is Cas is every one elsej sure of his ability to lead and protect his school. Why is it then, that the lower classmen do not acknowledge this fact and pay the Senior tribute for his superior qualities? Again, if it is commonly recognized that the high school graduate has attained a great quantity of knowledge, how is it that the common run will not admit his remarkable wisdom? Why do people, who have never had a high school education, originate questions that cast shadows of doubt upon this wisdom? It seems to be quite beyond the comprehensibility of the average in- dividual to visualize the truly benevolent qualities that are so manifest in the constitution of the Senior high school student. Due to this lack of un- derstanding, it exists that people devote a comparative portion of valuable time to the task of explaining to the Senior about certain void recesses in the latter's Cerebrum, Medulla Oblongata, and Cerebellum. In certain sections of the country the Freshmen are so impudent that they address the Senior classmen by their given names! Even the teachers are losing their chivalry and have been known to speak in a re- buking manner to the Seniors while in the presence of lower classmen! Page twenty-seven
