The Enfield Echo 23 ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES (Robert Spier) Now that the time has come for me in behalf of this great and noble senior class, to give to you future seniors, juniors, and sopho- mores, a little friendly advice, I am stumped with the huge task before me in trying to instill in your weak and childish minds a sense of responsibility for this wonderful school of ours. If you do not quite understand, undergraduates, we will try to be patient with you because we realize just what your responsibilities are and you cannot be expected to do too much. Well anyway here is con- structive advice which, if not assimilated by you undergraduates, I dread to think of just what will happen to this school when the seniors are no longer at its head. Therefore: Juniors and future seniors, when you are at the head of the school do not in any way lower yourselves in talking to the future juniors or sophomores except when business demands it. If you do not take this advice you will find your hands full of unruly pupils. Also when you are in the estate of seniors you must reprieve severely any attempt of the Juniors and sophomores to leave the assembly hall, before you have left. Indeed if it were not for this class of ours having put you undergraduates into place at the begin- ning of the year I dread to think of what would have happened to this noble school of ours. You sophomores and next year Juniors I must say have been extremely out of place in the quiet life of Enfield High and it has been our task several times to rebuke you and, I think in fact I know we have succeeded. I wish you would show just a little of the respect you have shown for us to the next year seniors. Indeed they will be proud and happy if they could get one quarter of the deference you have shown us at all times. It shows you know what a noble class is leading you. It is one that demands respect and gets it. So, future juniors, try and show just a little respect for your next year leaders if you can possibly lower yourselves to be bossed by such an inferior class. As for the freshmen they have undoubtedly been the meekest class that has ever entered Enfield High School. In fact, they have had none whatsoever of the spirit the other freshmen had in years gone by. I believe that they have secured their lesson from other freshmen classes before them. They undoubtedly have realized what a class of leaders we have been and they learned their lesson early and have acted like nice little children should act. If they are like this next year they will be able to conduct themselves like dainty little sophomores should and everything will go along nicely. In conclusion I would like to give a few of the examples of what our wonderful class has done. First we bought our own tickets to go to Washington. We are giving notice to you future seniors to be prepared to pay for your own year book. We hope we have given it in time so you will have
