One time, when Doris was about five years old, she and her mother were attend- ing a picture show. Doris was sitting down near the front and her mother was sit- ting near the back of the room. A picture of a man loving a girl was flashed on the screen. Doris' sense of propriety being shocked, she called to her mother, causing the audience to laugh, Oh, lllamma, he's lovin' her right before people. Upon being asked what her name was,- little Leota Smith replied, My name is KOttie Mish'. Carmen Rodriguez's mother being ill in Los Angeles complicated the task of the editor. Fathers do not make a point of remembering the clever little remarks of their children. However, her father assures us that one of her first words was Gam, always accented with eloquent Hourishes by her small hands. a as as lVIabel's father brought in a squirrel, after asking if it was good to eat and vari- ous other questions, she inquired, Dad, when are you going to peel the squirrel ? - as ae vt Emma Reynard, at the age when kiddies learn by imitation, was starting to go up stairs one day and she started to make the remark, Pm going up--. Some one came up behind her and said, Boo. For some time after this, on going up stairs Emma remarked, 'Tm going up boo. at as ae Whenever Perry's mother tried to get him to put a clean dress on, his answer would be, Aw, mamma, what's the use, l'll go right baclcout doors and get it dirty again. vt ae as Between the ages of two and three years, Art Dunlap was frequently asked his age. The reply was, l'll be tree years old October ta'terd. ik -If ik ' One lldonday morning when Mrs. Armstrong made the remark that she could not wash, Reuben piped up with, Well, mamma, why don't you iron today and wash tomorrowm Helen evidently had very little knowledge of cats, fc-r at one time while the cat was sleeping in front of the stove she called to her grandmother in an excited little voice, Come gran'ma quick, the cat's a-boilin'. ii? ik SK Glenny's invariable remark as soon as he got to the table was, I wanna poon, I wanna poon. It seems he started off rather young in that profession. -SIE ik GE Dilys was sitting on the minister's lap and he was telling her he had a little girl just like her at home with red hair. Dilys had some little pet lambs and her first re- mark was , Oh, I'll dive her on one of my little lambs, and won't she be cute then? -X HF -X In spite of almost superhuman efforts on the part of the editor and associate editor, two illustrious seniors must go down unrecorded in this space. We refer to George Dingle and Lois Ulrey, both of whom are never at a loss for words now. It seems that their childhood was marked by a discreet silence. I Twenty-.fix

S lliiss lyloore l Mr. Cook If you should wander with me through the sacred precincts of Citrus, and, upon finding the most bright and smiling face, should ask its owner, VVhy are you so happy? you would probably among other reasons receive the answer thrown tantalizingly back, Oh, l'm a junior. It's an indescribable feeling, that of be- ing a junior, one which is strangely in- capable of being analyzed. Unly those who have experienced it understand. At this period in the life of a student, he glances back rellectively upon his vic- tories and defeats to see just what he has accomplished. Just at this point We pause. Come back with me to the year 1919 when first the class of '23 entered Citrus. As is usual with infant classes, our hues re- sembled those of the landscape. By October, however, when we were royally entertained by the other classes at the Azusa VVoman's Club House, we had been so bleached in the atmos- phere of Citrus that we felt quite like old-timers. As we bent studiously over our books or breathlessly made our first attempts in athletics, we could hear our elders saying, Bless their baby hearts. Then as time wore on, when We had held our first picnic and party, and long trous- ers and ear-bobs began to be evident, the upper-classes realized that the cute little babies were actually growing upl And well they might realize that we were-if they could have peeped in at our first party, held in the Art room by courtesy of llfliss Nims. 'lt was beautifully decorated with wild flowers and ferns, and we had as much fun as at the picnic-later held at Brookside Park, where we wandered among the growing wild flowers within its sunny gardens. The next year as sophisticated sopho- mores we began work anew. Having
