I myself, although I had two grz'u-ious neighbors; of the Class of 'llwenty-twu. was possessed with :1 secret terror of Sophmnores. Juniors and Seniors us a whole. and was surprised to find they could smile :1 sweet. friendly smile at me. I tried to force a ghost of one in return, which I'm uh'nid was a very sickly grin. In an amazingly short time we hogan to feel as if we l'ielunged within this beautiful building: and after :1 while to feel we were very fortunate in being there under teachers to match the buildings. XVe received early in the first term an invitation from the Sophomores to a party which we surely enjoyed, followed by another given by no less than our dear Seniors. Each SeniO' at this party took one 01' more of us to be ttBig Sister to fur the rest of the year. This indeed made us feel that we were at home at last. Our experiences. in fact. at East High have been very pleasant and we have ceased to be ashamed that we are Freshies. Those in the Classes above us were once Freshmen, who experienced the same thoughts and feelings, and Ieertainly pity the Seniors, and my sympathy goes out to them, for with June they will have to leave this beautiful school with its excellent. faculty, and he with us no more. So goodbye Seniors. the Class of Twenty-five wish you well, hoping the colleges; that are. soon to make you Freshies. will he as kind to you as you have been to us. and that when we are Seniors we shall be as considerate as you. For Seniors are but Freshies tall, ttHeurtS dmfl change much after all. ELEANOR GWYX MILLER. 325

They watched him. They wntehed him with a t'ori'ed smile, on their lips :md with terror ill their eyes. The suspense was terrible The ground was wet. The Hltll lalilghed in their laces. 'It was awful. , He walked lll'OlllHl het'ore them. looking them over lilnndly. What. was the use? They were hopeless. For 21 moment he paused, then with his voice eold and hard 'tReudy. They shivered. If they ever lived through this ordeal. they never would do it again. No. never. It war; like going lo a dentist. Again they shuddered. They had suerifieed themselves for the .5er of cut. it was for the good of posterity, and was it worth it?? tVould posterity zippi'et-iute the silei'itiee? Silence. All this in :1 few seconds. Their reputation was at stake. Xthit agony! Still the sun luugliedi Suddenly he raised his hund. He elenehed his list. He groaned. Uiie moree , he paused. They waited. The suspense still remained terrihle. Per- haps it would soon he over. Hope suddenly sank to ashes. Um'e again he raised that mocking hand. He held it poised. The world reeled. It was all over. The sun still laughed quietly. The dog l'oiintnin still splashed merrily in the haze of the spring afternoon. The birds; wurhled in peace and quiet. That was all. The picture of the faculty had been taken. RANALD 0. NEWCtMIB, '22.
