In one hand he wearily swings his scythe back and forth, while on his l-:necs is an uncompleted .lig-Saw puz- zle. He looks gloomily down for a while and then suddenly smiles.l FATHER TIME: Bless my long grey beard, they are a large and lively bunch! By gorry, they are the kids who started high scool when 1930 was alive, and they will be graduated this year too! I must appoint 1933 to see about them. That is a good idea- I'll raise those past years from the dead just to hear what they have to say. They ought to be pretty good historians. tHe arises and going to a corner of the cloud grasps his rust-proof zip- per and zips an opening of a couple of feet.J FATHER TIME: Hey, 1930, '31, and 132, wake up there, and come here- plutol I want to ask you something. tHe takes a seat and assumes a regal air, while 1930, '31, and '32 file out and stand in front of him.3 l l l My son, tto 19303 you are older than your brothers here, so tell me what you know of the Freshlnen of the Florence High School the year you were on earth. 1930 tbowing lowJ: My most hon- orable Father, they came into Flor- ence High School a class composed of-of-what shall I say? Not daz- zling intellects, as the teachers of the .Iunior High will affirm, and certainly not bone-heads, as their reports will prove. Let me depart from the tradi- tional egotisms of all such history and say that they were about the average bunch that yearly come to serve the upper-classmen, being neither wise nor foolish. but freshies,', with all that the term ilnplies. After the ordeal of schedule cards and the purchase of chapel seats from a group of enter- prising Seniors, they settled down to -tuba, tubae-hic, hic, hoc-. They were soon reconciled to being called crazy dumb-bells by Aunt Sallie, and having Miss Dubose say, Now, Baby, that's wrongl' At first they had been resentful, for they did not think them- selves babies or dumb-bells, but they soon caught on and became ardent worshippers of their Latin and Alge- bra teachers. Despite many fearful experiences, such as holding one's breath while Mr. Briggs called out those he would like to see, they were proud of beinghigh school students. To change classes, instead of having the teachers change, was really quite a treat. And by the end of the fresh- man year most of their greenness had faded. FATHER TIME: And now, my son, 1931, what do you know of this same class? 1931: My honorable Father Time, this class became Sophomores, with all that the term implies. They walked rot with I1 timid step as they had the year before-but with shoulders back. You never heard one of them call him- self a Sophomore, but always an Ad- vanced-Sophomoref, It was during my time that Miss Davis, English teacher, departed to live happily ever after in the upper part of the state. By this time, my charges had plunged into Gallic Wars, which they fought with as much ardor as had the illus- trious author. There was even Julius Caesar, hilnself to be subdued. But the fight was on, and they dared not fail. FATHER TIME: And what have you to say. 1932? 1932: VVell, Father, thc class as .luniors of thc Florence High School tand it was quite a noble title for theml had become very wise-or otherwise. Zealously they began thc year and elected, as their President, Alfred Maxwell. The class started with gloomy prospects, for. as you well know, I was very poor. Banks had failed and times were hard. There were other changes, too, in their tCON'I'INIfEI1 ON PAGE 11p
