Courageously we young Freshmen were enter- ing tto usj the unexplored country. We knew that this land of High School was inhabited by one tribe, the Sophomores and that we would have to be very brave if we expected to overcome the obstacles which would be placed in front of us. For the first two months it was hard, for on every side we were met with ridicule and scorn. But it was not as hard as some Freshmen Hnd it. for we were only a two-year high school at that time. We Freshmen banded together with the slogan, All for one, one for all, and elected as class president Maudlne Gibbons. We grew braver as the year sped by and had our clan meetings and our parties. and even started talking of what we would do when we passed the council board and were Sophomores. Thus ended epoch one. Epoch II - No longer afraid we stood and with eager eyes looked over this new land. We rejoiced that we were now in the tribe of the Sophomores, as we had vanquished them. and they running from us had joined the Juniors. VVe worked hard exploring every bit of this new land, but enemies- some in the disguise of cupid and others from a distance-came and took some of our beloved Sops. We called a clan meeting with Maudine Gibbons, again our president. and vowed to stand closely together. We were overcoming the Juniors rapidly now and they were hastening toward the tribes of the Seniors. At last the victory was ours. We were the Juniors. Epoch III This time we 'stood and disdainfully surveyed our country. We were proud and arrogant of our new tribal name and egotistical enough to think that we had explored all that was explorable. We elected as president Maudine Gibbons and started another year. Before that year of exploring ended we were becoming humble again. We had lost a few of our members and gained none and there was still so much to be explored. The Senior tribe was retreating from our onward march. Day by day we were drawing closer. Ah! we had them, we were victorious. Thus comes epoch four. Epoch IV This time not eagerly, but disdainfully, and not frightened. but sad, so sad at the thought of this our last year in the building of our young dreams and the land of unexplored country. We are drawing near the close of our campaign. It is now our time to follow the Senior tribe. Follow bravely, but let us co-operate with our president. Maudine Gibbons, and leave behind us a trail of glory, honor and sympathy to others. VVe are now far stronger. for our tribe has grown with the entrance of new members. Dear teachers, one and all, we tearfully say goodbye and, friend Juniors, to you we say: FolloW. follow. how our voices ring, Follow, follow us in the spring. Through these tears dimming our eyes, VVe are shouting to you, schoolmates. we'vo tried. DOLORES SPOONTS, Historian.

I visited Columbia University, where I found Gray Sands as head football coach. When I arrived in Baltimore a fire truck came tearing down the street. I recognized James I-lite as one of the firemen. A gentleman told me that this was the Hrst time in a month that James had awakened in time to catch the truck. I found Georgia Shields and Margaret Hines teaching expression at the University of Virginia, and, believe me, they sure do express themselves Kas usuall.
