THE CRUCIBLE Grumbler I can’t see why I was elected grumbler; 1 don’t know anything to grumble about. Shucks— I don’t see what we had to go move into this new high school building for. There is entirely too much room to suit me. At least, if we have to conic to it I think Mr. Baker should have had elevators put in it. liecause it's so much trouble to walk up and down stairs. I wish Spring wouldn’t come because when the flowers begin to bloom it makes everybody happy, and 1 certainly don’t like happy people. I can’t understand why Mrs. Pratt doesn’t assign four or five more pages of history every day. I don’t see why sonielxKly doesn’t build us an auditorium, because I certainly do get tired of walking a half block to and from chaj el twice a week. I don’t see win everybody is so congenial when there is nothing to Ik congenial about. I wish that Mr. Cook would call a faculty meeting and persuade the teachers to give us longer lessons and more of them; I never have enough to keep me busy. 1 don’t see why we couldn’t have a larger force of monitors, then maybe I could get sent to detention hall once in a while. Why doesn’t Mr. Cook make his chapel announcements longer and drier? li there is anything I do like it is nice, long, dry speeches. I can’t see why we can’t have something to eat besides corn, pork and lieans every day. I wish Mr. Clements would try to get an athletic field built. I would like to have the pleasure of seeing a game on it before 1950. 1 wish Jim Phillips would change his little Annual speech once every six months. I don’t see why Mr. Haynie doesn’t send some intelligent freshman up from the Junior High School once in a while. In other words, I don’t see why we weren’t all l orn with an education so there would be no room for argument. Grumbingly, Hugh G. Glasgor. Jr.
