30- DEEDS AND MISDEEDS 213 N. Swope St. Greenfield, Indiana. May 18, 1928. Dear Teachers and Pupils: I suppose you are all thinking of promotion this being the last week of school. Our final exams are next Thursday and Friday, May 24 and 25, and every¬ one is busy studying for them. We have eight periods, the eighth coming first. This is because it can be shifted to anytime in the day for pro¬ grams. Our periods each have forty minutes. We have home rooms where we assemble for attendance morn¬ ings and noons but we study in the assembly hall. We also have a “ninth period” for lazy students, misdemean¬ ors, etc., etc., which I have escaped so far. Our “ninth period” is similar to your “Sunset” class. Nearly every student has one spec¬ ial study, Art, music, manual training or domestic science. I am taking art. Our art is entirely different from the art at your school. We keep a note book for artists. We put in tne name of the artists and their work and their biographies. We had an exhibit of art, manual training and sewing this week. There were many beauti¬ ful paintings and posters made by the art students. Our Junior High school had a picnic at Riley Park. There were about one hundred and twelve there. There were lots of swings, merry-go-rounds, and slides. Baseball furnished amuse¬ ment for all. We had a fire in a brick fireplace and roasted weinies over the fire. Oh! my, such a scramble there was to get the ice¬ cream cones! Central certainly has something to be proud of the Junior High School of Greenfield does not, that is, good English students, students that take an interest in English. The Green¬ field students have the springfever or something for they don’t seem to be very successful in English. Miss Coffee is an excellent teacher and everyone that tries should be fairly good in English. The same with the rest of the teachers. They are all splendid teachers. Yours truly, Frances Irene Richey. -o- EDWINA SHROLL One day Miss Martin introduced the spirit of realism into her art classes by having Edwina Shroll, dress as a Dutch girl. The costume was secur¬ ed by Miss Martin while she was abroad last summer. -o- — SUCCESS Smile, and the world smiles with you, Complain, and you go alone, For the cheerful grin will let you in Where the crank is never known. Growl, and the way looks dreary, Laugh, and the path is bright, For a welcome smile brings sunshine, while A frown shuts out the light. Sing, and the world’s harmonious, Grumble and things go wrong, And all the time you are out of rhyme With the busy, hustling throng. —Eleanor Holdampf, in Washington Irving Sketch Book.

A SWEET YEARLY ROSE Of Deeds and Misdeeds, I’m an ardent lover. I read every wo rd from cover to cover, I wish there were issues every March, April and May, For they banish the gloom of an old rainy day. All other school annuals, you do beat. They are the broth, but you are the meat. I hope my words won’t cause them pain, They scatter the chaff, you furnish the grain. May Deeds and Misdeeds continue, a sweet yearly rose. Wishing you well, I now must close. —Mary Bartlett.
