AFTER COLLEGE — WHAT? I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do something and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something I can do. We may not all be lucky enough to get posi¬ tions as soon as we graduate so let ' s make the best of it wherever we go. June the second our school days end in holi¬ day ; friends must part and journeys start to new adventures far away. Some of us may get mar¬ ried and that will be a new type of experience while others may enter the teaching profession for life. Just because we have a college degree under our arm is no sign we know all there is to know; in fact, we have just completed another chapter of our lives. We must realize that we don ' t know anything. We are just one among many. Let ' s live to learn and remember we never get too old to learn. Our school days have been happy ones. We have formed many friendships here that will last forever. The teachers have all been so kind and good to us. Yes, they have made us work, but it was for our own benefit. Now, they won ' t ‘‘flunk us maybe as we are so near graduation. We seniors soon will all be parted; And each will enter into life ' s game; We ' ll all strive hard to be worthy; Of our dear Alma Mater ' s name! DO YOU KNOW? Lois Atchley tap-dancing? Mr. Mathes high hatting? Mr. Bible grumbling? Kegley Graves tickling the ivory? Miss Taylor drinking beer? Mr. Prince in a Baby Austin? Red Carr with straight hair? Margaret Deakins not smiling? Joe Ridenour agreeable? Grace Hawk smoking cigarettes? Pauline Shearer driving a bus? Sara Harville quiet? Rose Garvin flirting? Isa Lee taking her time? Josephine Davidson getting over her babyish ways? All students good like the Seniors? Jack Sevan bashful? Nell Keyes grown up? Frank Perry with a solemn face? Gert Huggins without her, “Howdy-folks I Salesman: “This book will do half your work. Ralph Mathes: “O.K. I’ll take two of them. Prof. Brown: “What ' s worse than a giraffe with a sore throat? Mr. Batey: “A centipede with corns. Bob Grindstaff: “Many a man who has had his M. A. and his B. A. is still living on his P. A. Do you know that if one does not have some life principles himself, no one will have any for him? That one can say yes to the crowd more easily than he can say no? That one only has a true friend by being true to him? That everyone treats a king handsomely, but it is only a gentleman who is courteous to a beg¬ gar? That after your death the world would con¬ tinue just the same? That your attitude in college will continue with your life work? That it does not matter how good you are, there is always some one just a little bit better? That it is not the “A student that always makes a success in life? That some one is watching each step you take, and that you are influential in some one ' s life? That it is much easier to criticize than to ac¬ cept criticism? That success is not achieved over night? That everyone should have a purpose and a goal in life? That you should not believe everything you hear? That you are not the brightest person in the world ? That the best policy is to be square with all whom you meet?

Duly witnessed and attes ted by: 1— Rose Garvin. 2— Nelle Caldwell. FACULTY-SENIOR BREAKFAST Could anyone tell the meaning of that group of sleepy-eyed people out in front of the Main Building on Monday morning ? It looked as though about all the faculty and seniors were present. One by one they gathered, yawning. stretching, riding, and hiking. Yes, you guessed it! Seniors and faculty. It certainly was thoughtful of the faculty to disturb our sleep at such an hour. Maybe they thought that they would get to go by themselves but we fooled them! It was a real thrill to see Mr. Bible, Rogers, Mathes, Dr. Sherrod, and the rest of them—you all know them—working. Mr. Vance was the of¬ ficial wood-chopper; he could hit more of his senior guests in the head with chips than any one else. For fear that there was some senior present, that had been transferred from another school, the faculty decorated themselves with dainty lit¬ tle breakfast caps of pastel shades. These little caps were especiallly becoming to Dr. Field and Mr. Bible, along with the other bald-headed mem¬ bers of the faculty. Oh, yes, and, we demanded that they pose for a snap shot to be used on the front page of the Chalk Line. If it is good enough we may have one enlarged, tinted and framed for the museum. For the benefit of the Fresh¬ men, ni explain the meaning of museum. It is a part of a building for a collection of natural, scientific, or literary curiosities or objects of in¬ terest, or of works of art. Now you check any one of the above when you have seen the pic¬ tures. It was a great satisfaction to have Miss Yoakley, Mrs. Earnest, Dr. Wheeler, etc., waiting on us. We did not fail to keep them busy either. Mr. Alexander achieved perfection at scram¬ bling eggs and frying bacon. Coach was a very good waiter, too, but Dean Burleson served with more ease and grace, I believe. Feature the Training School teachers bothering themselves long enough to serve us. Well, they did, and how? The menu, oh boy! Just all the good things that can be imagined for an outdoor breakfast. We might suggest that our coffee be hot the next time, that is, if there is a next time. Horse Cove was an ideal spot. The mud was just right to make mud pies and stick to our shoes. We are so glad that we did not have to ankle out there. Some of the Seniors really thought Dr. Sherrod meant for us to walk. I, as a member of the Senior class, want to say for all the class—eighty-nine—thanks for the delightful breakfast; we thoroughly enjoyed it all. STUDENT’S SOLILOQUAY Break, break, break At the foot of thy crags, 0 sea! But if you should break for a thousand years You’d never get broke like me. When a bunch of girls get together, pity the first to leave. Bill Grigsby: Why does my girl always close her eyes when I kiss her?” Dot S.: Look in the mirror.”
