THE SYLLABUS 27 HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS. s The history of the individual members of the Junior Olass, a sextette, is as follows: Dorys Elizabeth Zinn, our class president, is not a native of our city, but came here from Joliet, Illinois, in very early life. She has an abnormal propensity for art. and literature and has already proven her talent by giving the Caesar class a lesson in drawing by suggestion of Mr. Hill in her Sophomore year. The tango is Ilorys' favorite form of exercise, and, sincc practice makes perfect, she now does excellently. Nora Clare Cavanagh, our vice president, lives about four miles east of our city, near Graymont, and has been with us three years, entering Flanagan as a Freshie. She is a jolly joker and always cheers one when one is near her, altho she never giggles or does anything one could term giddy. She has a special dis- like for lluteh, but got the Irish brogue successfully in our school entertainment lliareh QI, 191-L. hlaurine Mae Bambcr ,another of our country girls, came to us as a Ereshie and holds the honorable position of secretary. She is a very diligent, sober student and by her diligence procures grades which are eye-openers to many wayward Freshies. HAH that glows will not burn, for as yet no one has ever been seriously injured by Mack's hair. lVilliam Xiel Louden, who resides in the country north of this village, is our treasurer. He has been with us only three years, but of this fact we are proud, as he is the one and only gentleman of our class. Ilillie is our acknow- ledged geometry shark, also the star athlete of the Flanagan H. S. Ile takes great pleasure in going to sleep in Dutch and dreaming of his tango pumps. Our class certainly expects something great of lllilliam in the near future. Dorothe Emerson Barnard is also a country girl living five miles southwest of Flanagan. Dorot-he never whispers and is almost perfect, therefore she has won the love of both her teachers. She has a true literary talent, as her name would indicate. She is the shortest member of our class and is very brilliant in Botany. Vida Eileen Mette, the only Junior who can boast Flanagan as l1er native city, is the youngest of the class. The history of her hapless life is very short. Her favorite study is Botany, especially so when on excursion trips and her be- havior in school is not to be questioned, for she is always perfect. Vida Mette.

THE SYLLABUS THE JUXIOR CLASS. 1t's been three years or more since first we Juniors met. As we go down inemoryls lane, we have but one regret. That life can be so very long and school days made so brief, lVhen the Senior year is over Tvelll all look hack with grief. Eight is the bright brigade that fo-rms the Junior class. For instance, Bill, the sinartest lad lVhose Hexainsv he sure did pass. Blessings on the little lad, His hands and eheeks of tan, It's the wish of the remaining Junior class That helll be a famous man. A great geonietrieian is Dorys to be sure, Her head is always with l1er now And will leave her, never more. Vida is the bright eyed child lVho loves the German I, I think she knew the A B C's Ere the study she began. A month ago Grace did leave us, A sad parting it did make, But she said, 't,Xs for studying there at school, I'd rather bake a cake, Cast all your scientiiical and geometrical science aside, Givetme the broom and the housewill boom lVhcn to Work I do decide. About two months ago again to our dismay Orleen, too, left. us and went far, far away. Now she teaches near Chenoa VVe're all proud to say, She'll be a regular Balboa VVhen her school is out in May. Dorothe excels i11 Botany the rest of the Junior class. She informed us pupils the other day That Hblue glass is as green as grass. Shcls a very attentive girl From morning until eve, Why shouldn't we all be sorry If us this coming year she should leave.
