THE SENIOR HILL TOP THE TEACHER'S EASY CHAIR The pedagogue has always been placed on a pedestal and held up as the possessor of all the qualities which a student should acquire. Indeed, the teacher (altho he, no doubt, is un- aware of this fact) has saved many a pupil the expense of purchasing a book on etiquette. Now in order to better the lot of this aid to social polish, each pupil should contribute toward the purchasing of easy chairs for the teachers. Imagine! No longer will the before- mentioned pedestal be a theory; no longer will it be a seat in the imagina- tion; but it will be solid, palpable, and practical. What can be more delightful, more colorful than an easy chair of some fascinating pattern and hue. With such an ornament of beauty in the room, the pupils will respond better; the teachers will be reju 'enated when they relax their tired bones on the beautiful cushioned seat. Vou may breathe contentedly, hap- py readers, since th is dream may be realized by installing easy chairs in the classroom. Not only will this be an epoch making event, but as the home of the in entors of this ingenious plan, Fitchburg High School will be heralded and acclaimed as the apostle of comfort in the school- room. Contributions will be received by that apostle of gentility, George Haul- man. Have a Slender Figure Special Courses for Reducing Dr. William Hay, Room 25 PULCHRITUDE LACKING? Here, Girls, is a Problem It has been said by a connoisseur of beauty that there is little pulchritude among the ;irls in the Senior class. Is this true? To answer this question frankly, it is advisable that each girl of '29 study her reflection in her mirror. Then if she sees no astounding beauty staring at her, then it is her duty to bring out whatever good points she possesses. Further aid in this direction may be secured at Katherine Thompson's beauty parlor where she will adminis- ter her guaranteed beauty treatments. Every girl has a claim to some pul- chritude. This beauty may lie in pearly teeth, sapphire or dancing eyes, glorious hair, dazzling dimples, fas- cinating smile, perfect complexions, or a lovely form. One visit at Thompson's Beautician Parlor will make a Miss America of any Senior girl. — Adv. (Continued from Page 1) ability.

ON S'EN VA POUR VOIR LE MONDE A number of Fitchburg society buds with male escort chaperoned by Miss Fuller and Mr. Hubbard tripped it to Boston, Saturday, March ninth. Arriving at the Hub of the I'niverse, the omnibus was parked in a vacant lot near the palatial Motor Mart. Thence the party decorously betook themselves to the charming Spanish atmosphere of the Seville where they daintily devoured a most carefully se- lected luncheon. This exotic restau- rant with its mellow candle lights and curious window panes producing an effect of drizzling rain gave a most satisfying sensation of beauty. The harmony here of room and service was fascinating. The waitresses were at- tired tastefully in native costumes of black and orange. The hostess, too, looked very attractive in her dress of virginal white with a contrasting black lace mantilla caught back by a red rose that covered her comely head. To complete the picture. Miss Fuller was presented with an exquisite bou- quet of violets and Mr. Hubbard a boutonniere of a hot house rose bud. This ceremony performed, the party, the female portion thereof dressed in creations made by the outstanding modistes of Fitchburg, wended its way to the Majestic Theatre where subtle Russian and French talent were perfection personified in the Chauve Souris. After having enjoyed a lovely per- formance everybody purchased a bou- quet of sweet peas to carry home as a memento of the sweetness of the day. Laden with flowers these noted resi- dents of Fitchburg honored Mallows with their presence. Here ice cream sodas were feverishly imbibed. Here, too, woe and agony descended upon the party because it was percei ed that two of the girls were missing. No wonder fear ruled when in the mind's eye these young women were seen struggling through the maddening throngs of Boston. Master Green- wood quickly took up the trail and soon tracked down the wanderers. With their sweet tooth appeased the party recon ened at the Motor Mart and immediately set forth for home.

It's Latin and it's Greek, Oh gracious, goodness gracious. When can a fellow sleep? III. And when report cards come around Some fellows shout like thunder, Look, oh gee, I have an E, The teacher's made a blunder. IV. Then next in line comes father, With a look of anxious hope Thinking his son is working hard, To get the present dope. V. And when inspection's over The worst is yet to come, Old dad is somewhat slower But still he makes things hum. VI. And now that all is ended The next marks I await, Hoping the teachers are not so bent On such as my last fate. Gladys S.: Grant told me last night I reminded him of a magazine cover. Priscilla S.: I suppose that's because he sees you only once a month. Miss. Fuller: How is it that Neal eats so much candy lately?
