THE HOMEST TRUTH Since we are seniors let us take a last look at our school. We will take Glenn along, since he thinks so well of our class. Let us ascend the stairs to third floor or Lovers Lane . Kere;s located the Home Ec Department, Boy I remember my first days in.Home Ec. One day I thought a recipe said shake , but it said Bake!!. That was the end of cooking for me- Next, we.will visit Mrpc Talbott, That woman thinks that nothing in the world is Impossible for one to accomplish, Buddy, JFd like to see her try to put toothpaste back into the tube,. . Peeking inno.Miss Shaw's room, we see her quietly by herself grading papers, Uhl Oh Wonder if Mr, Corbin knows this. Slowly and gracefully we will descend the stairs like all seniors do. 3ut what is that awful noise? Is iv an earthquake? No, it is just Mrs. Piccolo putting Tommy Gates on a nail. If we open the door quickly to Study Kali we will see Mr. Hal Findley teaching ballet dancing to Bobby Kittle. Let's go, before we disturb Madame Butterfly, Did we see an eraser flying from Mrs. Johnson s room? Woops, a shoe. Oh Gosh? A book, and who is that that has landed on his head? Why it’s Larry Vincent. He has been bragging again. Nov Larry who is the strongest? Hi, Max. Boy what you don’t see when you go out for an innocent walk. Max says that glasses have an amazing effect.upon division, particulary if they have been filled and emptied many times at the same sitting. We see Mr. Whitescarver calmly sitting at his dest with his arms folded grinning from ear to ear. Believe it or not, he doesn’t have a thing to do. He has resigned from everything. Mr. Talbott.left a note with Vera saying that the seniors can do anything that they have planned for the rest of the year. He has just gone out to mow the lawn for exercise. Hearing that, we gladly go down stairs. But v hat is all the excitment? Why is all the smoke coming from the Chemistry room? Fighting our way through the smoke we see Mr..Corbon and Steve working over a Bunsen burner. Mr.,Corbin says that Einstein has been lying to the world. Mr. Corbin sayd We are burning the midnight oil. Steve sayd, Let’s drink it.

Con t THE HONEST.TRUTH After the excitement we travel on honing to see Mr. John Findley. We find him in his biology class teaching a groun of boys about the birds and bees. Those boys don't know which ones fly. Tiptoeing on our way we see Miss Ridinour fiercely pulling her hair. Well, Law class must be over. As we slowly approach 1-Ir. Hedrick s room we re- member all the hot arguments and quarrels we have had, but each time he has shown us.that his heart is in the right place, and that cute grin is for all the girls. We weren't left out after all Now we turn our happy times over to Glenn, and hope he will enjoy it as much as we have when he is a senior. Slowly and gloomily we go out on the front steps, where we sit down to think of all the wonderful things that have happened to us while we have been in school As the oink and blue clouds of memories pass. Like a ton of bricks it hits us that this.is the end. School is almost out. We realize now that no one is trying to cram something' dox-m our throats. They were just ■ trying to feed us, but we were too dpmb to chew. No one is going to take his precious time to explain some- thing to us that we don't understand. No one is going to -out UT3 with out rude foolishness. Now'we realize that we are really on our own. We will have to depend on what we have been taught in school and at home. Suddenly we hear something from a window on third floor. What is it? Who is it? Why, it's Violet. While we were on the third floor she stayed for a Home Ec meeting. Betty Lou Drainer
