lQ.Q.Q. -Q., 3355, 'IIE'52......Qf:TEL V ara rrrr 2 f l 2 1 Senior History f NE child is bad enough, why bother with two? If this thought had not Q99 entered the mind of the Wadswotrth twins' mother four years ago, after w QD she had spanked one of them twice-thinking she had done her duty to , both-the History of the Class of 1921 would have begun one year later. L As it happened, our Class life was really inaugurated in l9l6, when Gertrude and Margaret were sent to Fassifern where, thanks to the faculty, they were never spanked. The second year brought a few more recruits to our class and, to pass on briefly, we might say that Sophomore knowledge was acquired with little effort on our part. ln 1919 when we retumed to Fassifern as Juniors school life had to be taken more seriously. Student Government was tried out and proved to be very successful. The Junior-Senior banquet was the chief event of the year. Alas! we wonder who could adequately describe the thrill of being dignified Seniors! Our senior year finds our number increased to forty-two members, many of whom are daughters of Chief Bushy Head. Twenty-six of us watched over and protected by our good friend, Miss Buckner, live in McBee Hall, a cozy little home which Miss Kate and Mrs. McBee had built especially for the Seniors. Though we've often disturbed our teachers by making so much noise, we have tried hard to moderate our sweet Southern voices and we leave Fassifern with the hope that our career as a class will always remain a pleasant memory to those to whom we now say farewell. The SCl'liO1 S Farewell We, the Seniors of '2I, Upward we've struggled through many long years, Will now have to tell you good-bye. Not always doing our best, We utter these words with a twinge of regret But hoping and trying diplomas to win, As the time for our parting draws nigh. Until now we have finished our quest. We'll worry no longer with Latin and Math, Our school days will soon all be done. W'e'll quickly forget our Disorders and Words And only remember the fun. For we've had a good time at the school we all love, And we've each made some friends who'll be true. Though in boarding-school life some hardships you'll find, We admit ours have been very few. So we bid you farewell and pray don't forget Our brief, though ambitious past. We've had no long molto in Latin or Greek, But we tried to B2 to the last. Nom SEAVER, 'Zl. Page thirty

DECISION TO BE RENDERED TODAY ON PENN-GLENN MURDER CASE Juresses Will pronounce Verdict at 3 XY. TODAY THE FINAL HEARING OF THE PENN-GLENN CASE WILL COME BEFORE THE COURT-MISS MIDDLETON, OWNER OF MIDDLETON's MODISTE SHOP, REVEALS CASE. At yesterday's session the court heard Miss Middleton's testimony as follows: Miss Glenn left the house at 8 p.m., presum- ably to visit Candidate Penn. Middleton states that on returning at IZ, Glenn pledged her to absolute secrecy and related the facts of the even- ing. Glenn had entered the house on Easy Street at 8:15, during the conversation a hot argument ensued. Penn's rapid argument so infuriated her opgonent that in a Ht of anger Glenn threatened to shoot her. A scream, followed by several shots, brought the frightened neighbors, who hur- riedly summoned lhe police. As Chief Sherrod and his two-hundred-pound assistant, Carr, en- tered the room they found Glenn standing with a smoking pistol over the dead body Of. Widow- veil's future mayor. Penn's frail secretary, M. T. Smith, who had witnessed the murder, fainted while being questioned by Carr. The murderer escaped and reached home: while relating the facts to Middleton, her house was surrounded and Glenn captured by the police. The lawyer for the defense, Birdsey, argued long and fervently against the state's representa- tive, Raneyg but when Judge Lawrence was ap- pealed to she left the verdict to the juresses. Pug thirty-one A large crowd is expected to be at the court house today. Miss Glenn is very weak after the long cross-examination and will be accompanied by her doctor, Little, M.D. THE NATION'S PRESIDENT TO BE INAUGURATED Miss Battle of Chapel Hill, former head of Fassifern, will be inaugurated March the fourth. lt is supposed that the men's Equal Suffrage Bill will be favored by the new Democratic leader. She said in one of her campaign speeches that the country needs men to embrace the opportunity QU. The P'resident's rapid speech and unusual gesticulations always require great promptness on the part of the expert reporters. It is expected that Miss Wright, the manager of Miss Battle's campaign, will be proposed as Secretary of War: Goodwin as Secretary of the Navy: and Willson, M. A., as ambassador to China. The entire per- sonnel of the cabinet is as yet undecided.
