Nothing else . . . we were just young, more or less in a state of fluidity. Our ideas were hazy and our view-point was narrowly subjective. But being young didn't keep us from being scared. We were positively petrified for the immeasurably lengthy period of two weeks. Then fright, as all things else, passed on fto return at months' ends with report cardsD. And in its absence we found out the horrible truths about the old annex . . . that the roof leaked and the stairs sagged and the piano in the lunchroom really wasn't supposed to be played. At the main building we were tl1HOI'OLlS againeebut not for long, happily! QRemember us acting as guides for Know Your School Week and not knowing where 334 was?D We soon took possession of the library, spoke up for seats in the lunchroom, and salvaged four of the five minutes passing-time for private use. We even studied Qwirh ex- ceptionsb! As juniors we were terribly gay. We joked about studies and marks and regents and all manner of hitherto stultifyingly sober things. We dashed about with inexhaustible energy, we got sorted out in our minds who did things Qand who didn'tD among our classmates, we adopted pet subjects, we learned to sell tickets. And then-seniors! lt seemed impossible. Gradually we took hold and began agitating for class organization. We elected officers and committees and watched them bustle importantly about. And soon our advisers, Miss Helma Russell and Mr. Burr F. Williams, more com- monly called Mamma and Pappa, yielded to our pleadings and were induced to sit in on our riotous and vociferous class-meetings. Our parties numbered one and a halfefun-full ones. Graduation was solemn, with giggles. And then it was over . . . 86 orphans! Nlamma and Pappa had deserted us. This is our wail.

NVIl.LIsMS J ADVISERS FOR JANUARY CLASS We were excited, eager, inexperienced, full of plans, full of dreams, full of strange ideas, uncontrolled, unrestrained, undirected . . . seniors trying to start our class on an eventful journey. We imagined much but knew nothing, we were a seething mass of far-reaching and seriously conflicting plans. Into this came our advisers . . . Miss Helma Russell, calm and not to be upset by any class ignorance, Mr. Burr F. Williams, smiling his friendly smile and willing gently to suggest the most astoundingly practical things. They sat through our hectic class-meetingseeMr, Williams quietly deprecating our wildest ideas, Miss Russell casting her skeptical eye on us and asking embarrassing questions, ferreting out fundamental difficulties in her dry, humorous, little boy what now? way. In short, they did what needed to be done just when it was most needed, and, most imporant to us, in a way that always was tops. l Ffzztbfuf unto zfefzffv' ' MARK BAKER BAETZEL .Ytumlufrl Bearer Gillzlffffllll of llw lfffzg 15 .'
