REVIEW OF REVIEWS Question: “What is your opinion of the Senior Class?” Mr. Elden: “The best ever.” Miss Roth: “Ditto.” Mrs. Johnson: “I am not well enough acquainted to give an opinion.” Mrs. Forsell: Opus plus praemia maiora vincat.” Mr. Carey: All but about six having been in one or more of my classes, they must be good.” Mrs. Griffith: “Very gracious.” Miss Morgan: “13. H. S. has a senior class of which it not only can be but is proud. It couldn’t be better.” Mrs. Cussler: “The whole is equal to the sum of its parts—If the Senior Class as a whole is as good in fellowship and scholarship as some of the ‘particular parts’ that I’ve tinkered with in Math., why, I say: ‘Success to you! You are as promising, as wise, as successful as your components!’ ” Mrs. Tappen: “Each senior class seems just a little bit better than the preceding one.” Miss Pike: “Good sportsmen.” Miss Forest: “A dass believing in the proverb: ‘Conversation teaches more than meditation!’” Mr. Getman: The Class of 1930 has contributed more than its share to all school activities.” Miss Coolidge: “This class were very promising as Freshmen, and have made good, as Seniors.” Miss Wormuth: As a Class, we wish them all success in life.” Miss Stcrly: The Senior Class of 1930 is a fine class.” Mr. Cussler: “From the title of this book and from my fellow-teachers and proscribcrs have written. I was inclined at first to suspect some game wherein each tried to outdo the other; however, no less a personage than a member of the Senior Class has assured me that my suspicions arc ground- less and that this is, indeed, a serious business! I hasten to add. then, that the worthy members of this Senior C’ass arc winners; they out-Herod Herod; their assurance is a wonderful thing! ARLENE WALTER. CONGRESS Congress meets from day to day. To pull their strings and draw their pay; And ’mid the battle’s smoke and fogs To save our country from the dogs. They organize and start debate. When someone yells “Investigate”; And then begins the circus show. And oratory starts to flow. The truth they always try to hush. By vigorous use of whitewash brush; And pull their underhanded tricks, While some are shouting “Politics”. They charge, deny, they slap and slam. From Muscle Shoals to Boulder Dam; And then, regardless of expense, They buy up all their evidence; And plainly prove that truth will lie. That drys are wet and wets arc dry. They keep this up from day to day And only stop to draw their pay. So they bribe and buy and sell; They censure some and some, expel. But all we can do is meekly wait, And feebly cry—“This must be Fate!” 34
