,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.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We, as prospective Pages of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-five, entered our first trials of knighthood September eighth. Some were short, some were tall, some were slender, and some were large, but we all wore a smile for B. H. S. Though this was a very difficulty proposition to undertake, we enrolled with a number of twenty-four. We chose Lady Ford as our class advisorg Chief Page, Jessie Hills, Vice-Page, Myrtle Sanders, Keeper of Money, Eva Hosterman. Many important events occurred that year, such as the Page's receptiomlestablishing a pennant, and class parties. The second year we entered the rank of Squires although we numbered only twenty. We chose Lord McConnell as our class advisor, Chief Squire. Charles Reed, Vice Squire, Ernest Kegerries, Keeper of Money, Thelma Johnson. We were strong- er and more able to perform the task which came before us. This, our year as Knights, we number only twelve. We chose Lady Janke, Class advisor, Chief Knight, Louise Ivens, Vice-Knight, Jessie Hills, Keeper of Money, Charles Reed. Our trails of knighthood are three-fourths over. Like all other trials we have had many difficulties but we feel that we have conquered them in a very successful way. We can feel sure that 'tbetter days are coming. Marjorie Kline. Page thirty
