HI -TIMES AFTER Well, I’m a Soph now so I guess I’ll have lots of Freshmen looking up to me. Hmm— wish that girl would stop grinning at me— these girls are too simple. Gee, 1 hope this teacher gets thru raving soon. 1 don’t know what its all about but—my gosh! He wants me to tell the class what electricity is! How should 1 know? “What’s the matter with us.” I couldn’t say. Can you heat that? Asking what’s the matter with me! There goes the hell! Hot dog, one more period over. Now for History. That’s soft stuff. Just this hour and the day is over. Except foot-hall practice tonight. Wonder why that big farmer doesnt’ come out? Oh well, guess he wouldn’t be any good anyway. Somebody just came in the door. Holy smokes, it’s the principal! Wonder what he wants, Ah, there he goes out again. Glad of that. Hurrah! It’s starting to rain. Maybe we won’t practice tonight! Guess we will though. There's the teacher looking my way. Hope he doesn’t call on me! I’ll have to look wise so he won’t. Oh rats! He did anyway. Such luck. Well ----------------------. Thank goodness that’s over! Ah, there’s the bell. Gangway! Come on! Get out of the way, Freshie!!

HI -TIMES 21 tv5 versed in history, the World War and many other (treat calamities of the past would never have taken place.” History teaches people to think before acting, so that such a nation as the United States will not follow through the steps taken by Rome and lead to the same terrible ending. It teaches the individual not to foster self-centered ways or he may have the same experience that came to the great Napoleon. Along with these three conscious values come two very valuable assets to the indi- vidual. One of these is character. Constantly in history one is reading of the sterling values of a good character, for success is impossible without .'t. Let me take but a moment to point out the difference between character and reputation. It is surprising the number of people who think that they mean one and the same thing. Character is what you are and reputation is what others think you are. Don’t use too much time thinking about your reputation for it is usually true that a good reputation goes along with a good character. Put your time and attention in developing and improving your character. The other asset is to be socialized. You as well as 1 know of many who were well trained for a given task hut knew not the art of get- ting along with people. We are constantly thrown in contact with others and much of our success depends on how we get along in these associations. L. Packard. History Instructor. IMPRESSIONS Before and Afler Entering High School BEF Gee, those kids at Broad must be tough! This hunch is, anyway. Wonder if they’re all like that? Can’t tell, though, whether this is the exception or the rule. Well, look at that big fellow! He must he old enough to be out of Hi School already—and he’s only starting. Must be awful dumb. He’s lucky, though—he’s sure to make the foot- ball team. Wish I were bigger—1 might have a chance too. Oh, well some people are born lucky. Gee, that’s a nifty looking girl over there! Wonder if I’ll meet her when we’re in Hi School. Gosh—1 believe RE she’s smiling at me! Must be somebody else, though.—But there’s no one else around—gee, it must be me. Hmm—Hi School won’t he so bad after all! Wonder what her name is. Say—I wonder if this Hi School work is as hard as some of the fellows say? Hope not —if it is I’ll have plenty of work on my hands. I suppose most of it's exaggeration, tho. Well, guess this officious looking gentleman must be the principal—he’ll probably tell us more about this place. Hope so—there’s plenty I can’t understand.
