Janitor “Bill” Bottomley says, “I certainly miss seeing Mr. Chapelle come up the walk with his arms full of mail every morning. I've watched him for so many years that it's kind of hard to quit now. Nine times out of ten, 1 have heard sophomores, juniors aud seniors say. You're wanted in Dykhouses office’’ when they meant McCall's. It is hard to familiarize the names of Principal McCall and Superintendent Dykhouse. These two changes have been made because of the promotion of our “grand old educator”, Ernest Chapelle, to the superintendency of the high schools in Ypsilanti.—R. D. OBEY THE TRAFFIC RULES Many accidents could be avoided in the halls between classes if each aud everyone of us would only follow some simple rules—the first: keep to the right. It happens sometimes that when we come out of a room on one side of the hall it is much handier, and we can seem to make faster progress, if we keep on that side, even if it is the left. But after we have gone a short distance we find that we are about to meet a small army of people coming straight toward us, and on the same side. Instead of putting our heads down and knocking as many out of our way as is possible, lets all go to our own right side where it won’t be necessary to put our books in front of us as shields and break right through the whole crowd. Another simple traffic rule that would make progressing through the building easier is the rule about going up and down stairs. When going up we should always use the north stairs and when coming down, the stairs on the south side are the ones to make use of. If we all remember these two simple rules we w’ill have fewer traffic jams and possible calamities in this building.—L. P. OPPORTUNITY Stop, stop, oh time in thy flight, and make me a child again, just for tonight.” How many times have you seen these words? And how many times have you stopped to consider what they might mean? Why would our fathers and mothers want to be children? We believe that an older person can see the mistakes he made while he was a child, and he can see the opportunities that stared him in the face but which he never took. He knows now what he should have done and he wishes he had the same chance. Many times young people who are looking for an opportunity are faced with just the chance they want. But do they take it? Not very often. It isn't quite what they want. Or. they know of a better chance that they can get if they wait a while. So their opportunity goes by and the other big chance doesn't come and that person is left wondering why it was that life had to pick on him and keep him from doing what he wanted to. Take your chances when you can get them. Don’t be too fussy. Re- member that once an opportunity is gone, it's gone, and there is no getting it back. So when an opportunity presents itself, grab it! And hang on!—R. D. GO TO THE GAMES There always seems to be a certain few in school who never go to any of the games. Are you one of these unpatriotic persons? If you are. cure yourself of it right away and go to the very next gamo that you possibly can. You’ll never regret it. If you don’t go. don’t you feel just a little bit out of things when you hear some of your fellow class- mates discussing the exciting plays that were made? Come one, come all. to every game that is played on our home field and to every other game that you can. Help boost your own team and also broaden your mind by being interested in athletics as well as books.—L. P. This story was told about Sinclair Lewis, the famous novelist. He re- ceived a fan letter from one of his many admirers. It read thus: My Dear Mr. Lewis: I am simply wild about your works. I would like to come and be near you. Could I be your secretary I’d do anything, and when I say anything. I mean anything! To which letter Mrs. I ewis, who was her husband’s secretary, replied: My Dear Miss----------------: 1 am sorry but Mr. Lewis is already equipped with ao efficient secretary. I do everything, and when I say everything. I mean everything! i Crusty Crumbs i I i.------....... Of course it really isn’t a fire, is it?” anxiously questioned an eighth grader at the first fire drill. He was promptly informed by a high and mighty senior that of course it wasn’t. And speaking of eighth graders, why is it that so many of the new infants will go rushing down the hall and then come to a dead stop, knocking over the six or seven people behind him? Could you also tell me why it is that the little souls will persist in going to algebra class in the Latin room? Really, my dear, it just; isn’t done.” Mr. Duguid is slowly but surely convincing Lydia May Smith that he knows just as much about chemistry as she does. I don’t envy him his job. though. I’ll bet that Jacob Van Vessem has ; smaller feet than a lot of girls in this high school On a recent Sunday school picnic with her class. Mrs. Dykhouse looked worried. Finally one of the girls ask her if anything was the matter. I “Well.” she stated. ‘T told Mr. Dyk- house what to eat for supper tonight. But when he gets started he won’t , stop, and there’s some food in the ice J box I don’t want eaten.” STUDENTS GIVEN TIMELY ADVICE Just to make sure that each of you start the school year right we hereby 1 submit for your approval a list of. student by-laws which we trust will be faithfully executed. 1. Don’t be ambitious. Caesar was killed for possessing such a detriment to character. 2. Be economical. Borrow' note- book paper and pencils. 3. During assembly squirm in your seat and talk to your neighbor as much as possible. It show's the speak- er you are interested. 4. In study hall, and in the class room slide down In your seat It makes you look at ease. 5. Never go to class prepared. It will be much better for you if you can bluff—and get by with it. 6. Never hold a door open for some one coming next. He needs the exercise as much as you do. 7. Don’t fail to write your name on your study hall desk or you might not be able to find it easily. 8. At the games take care to stand in front of someone. It will develop his patience. 9. Try to make it a point to be always chewing gum. It makes you appear contented. You know'—con- tented cows.......... 10. If the stairs are crow'ded, slide down the bannister. This will save you both time and energy. YOU GUESS I CAN’T Do you know: Why Marion. Indiana, holds Donis Raymond’s interest? Why George Balow likes to drive this year? Why Charlene Cottrell likes to ride in Oldsmobiles? If Pat Russell knows what a drum major is for? What causes that mysterious light in Lauraine Stone’s eyes? Who the two sisters are that How- ard Thomas Is Interested in? That ‘‘Babe’’ Smith is interested in football players? Who the alumnus is that drives a OH MEMORIES, FOND MEMORIES Summer is waning, and all we have left of vacations are memories. Take a peek at the page of recollections and souvenirs of the faculty members. it all happened in August. He ‘went a-courtin’, furnished a home, and carried away our last year’s Latin teacher to the tune of “Oh, Promise Me.” Happy days ahead for Super- intendent Jay Dykhouse. Principal “Jake” McCall whiled away hours in a canoe for two until it was time to go to camp with the Boy Scouts. There he showed great prowess as a high diver. Local friends were surprised to hear that Miss Winifred Wells chose a thumb” trip. She reports an inter- esting visit through the scenic thumb of Michigan. After recuperating from her almost tragic auto accident, Mrs. Marena Kiplinger defied fate and weather in her brand new Studebaker. Rocky mountain cl’mbing and surf riding in the Pacific added new zest and vigor to Miss Dorothy Stewart and Miss Mae belle Swartz. What could be more delightful than following one’s own inclination along a trout stream, or hunting in northern Michigan? So thought Wendell Anderson. Ditto, Miss Sue Gillam. Ditto, Terence Flower. Petals from her own lovely garden linger in Mrs. Frances Wlldern’s rose jar of summer memories. Earl Mead showed his cleverness in handicraft on a Michigan farm. Our much travelled Benjamin Hen- nink. on his numerous visits to the Century of Progress, became a pro- fessional expert at assisting people down the Magic Mountain. Miss Elizabeth Krieger found her summer pleasant gaining new ideas at Columbia university. Rumor has it that Mrs. Marie Tayl- or caught the largest fish at Duck lake.

The Century of Progress with all its allurement was a Mecca fbr Mrs. Combs. Miss Beatrice W’illiams found sunny California a nice place. During his vacation Kenneth Brown applied his mathematical mind to the intricacies of high powered machines. Summer days were play days for Jacob Van Vessem. flitting as he did from east to west. What was the attraction in Ohio for Emerson Hildebrant? The last few weeks of vacation Coach Kenneth Barnhill got into per- fect athletic form pacing the floor with his young daughter.
