Why can't speech come altogether, instead of having so many parts? That is just one of the many questions that will assail you. Many will try to discourage you about Chemistry, but don't be dis- couraged, we love it. You get such delicious odors, and it is certainly interesting to try experiments, wondering all the time if you will be blown sky-high, or only have to hold your nose, because of a wonderful odor that smells as though it came from a place where brimstone is burning for- and ever, amen. Mr. Reaves beats any witch you ever heard of for mix- ing concoctions. If he would take the Senior's advice, he would be a for- tune teller, and stand over a boiling cauldrom, stirring up terrible mixtures. Now our last piece of advice to you Freshmen is: Do not get the swell- head just because you are entering High School. You will have many jars that are surely hard if you have sweeled heads. If you can only keep your head normal the jolts, that must of necessity come, will just be a part of the day's experience. Remember, a bit of fun, and a good hearty laugh will help out wonder- fully. Smile and the world smiles with you Kick and you kick alone, The cheerful grin, will let you in Where the kicker is never known. T'IA'l'H ly-Svtfvu

Answer: Advice is something that Seniors try to tell the Freshman and the Fresh- man takes it in one ear and lets it out at the other, therefore, We con- ceived the idea of writing this for the annual, as what one reads neither enters or leaves by the ears, and we are hoping by this means to make our advice more lasting. Of course it will be good advice. First and foremost, Freshy, stick to it, if you have to put glue in your seat to make you. Glue is inexpensive, you can get a bottle at Kress's for a dime, and it will surely make you stick fast. Algebra seems awful but, after all, it's not so bad if your brains can stand it. We Seniors had to takeit and we live to tell the tale. But French, phew! well we tell you, just get a nickel's worth of jaw- breakers and practice on them, and perhaps that will help you through. Oh! if only some long-suffering Senior had told us to do that, but they did not, and we have had to suffer in consequence. Spelling and Current Events, that's a mere item. We do not even get a point for them. But its all good for you, like our mother says when she wants us to eat oatmeal for breakfast. You will love history, if you swallow plenty of dates. Mr. Walker will certainly expect you to do more than swallow dates, you must be ready to speak them forth by the yard, when he wants a few facts himself. We call that an easy way of finding out things, don't you? Anyway, it is up to you to be there with the goods. Another thing thatys good for you is English, of course it is, isn't it your native language? You know that must be easy. Our advice to you Y-'IUCII ly-.S'1'.r

Within a few days we will have reached that goal for which we have been striving for four long yet seemingly short, years. The time is now at hand for us to part as a class, but We can defy those cir- cumstances to arise which can weaken these ties of friendship so dearly formed by us during our High School Course. In future years in both prosperity and disaster they can be a source of the greatest pleasure and comfort to us. Our equipment is good, our armor strong, and both nature and destiny honest, to the victor they grant the spoil. Destiny gave us our birth in this wonderful Southland, and Nature has made it beautiful for our pleasure. Do we do our duty as citizens of the South? We think so, and yet, we need to be better acquainted with our home land. The South is blessed with the three elements of agricultural produc- tion-soil, moisture, and climate in rare combination. Every element for success exists in the South-in raw materials, climate, in the natural forces of nature, and, above all, an abundant supply of labor. Walter S. Gifford, president of the American Telephone Sz Telegraph Co., said, The East and North are turning their eyes southward and are planning to pour many millions of dollars into commercial and industrial projects to be located in the South. During 1925 much progress was made in the establishment of rayon plants, one of the world's most rapidly growing textile industries, in vari- ous parts of the South. Rayon plants of enormous capacity which repre- sent a capital of many millions of dollars, and employing thousands of hands, are now in operation at Roanoke, Va., and Hopewell, Va., near Nash- ville, Tenn., and plants are under construction in Parkersburg, W. Va., and in Johnson City, Tennessee. Here and there throughout the South are evidences of rapid develop- ment, provisions to watch, to some extent at least, the great drama which has been carrying Florida forward at a rate that has amazed the nation, Western Carolina is also one of the centers of this activity. Alabama, with its vast mineral interests, has now reached a point of development where it is universally recognized as one of the greatest metallurgical centers of all the world. Mississippi, awakening from its long sleep, is catching the vision of these rich possibilities. 'I zc'cnfy-Eighl
