Shades of Alexander the Great! What have we with us now? After glancing over this array we'l1 say 'Orace F. Harmor has our old friend Wm. G. McAdoo backed off the map. He is deeply in love and we sincerely hope this is no hindrance to his after life. The class of 1920 wishes a successful career to their retiring leader. Hal Jack Dempsey? Who's he? MARY HYDE APPLER HADPSH Household Artsg Cloverleaf. Now what have we here? A per- son of small stature, shall we say a brunette? Fair maiden, why have you selected this course? This lass, made her debut when she posed as a fortune-teller at a recent society meeting of the Cloverleaves-when she held her audience spell-bound. May we suggest a few things for you? A trained nurse might be needed at the Jefferson Hospital, a dietition in some hotel, say the Ritz- Carlton, or some nice young bachelor might need a house-wife. Good goods come in small pack- ages.

And now those green things that have been growing for these past four year, have suddenly burst forth into perfect specimens of manhood and womanhood. Each one has a special ideal to live up to. Each one a different road to travel. If crossroads present themselves in this path of life, we must not follow them, but continue in the same straight and narrow road with which we began. Throughout our four years' work in G. H. S. we have had nothing to benefit us more than the great World War. We have learned that Experience is the great teacher, and have been taught lessons of sacrifice, by bearing the burdens of the war. We have become proud of our country, and know that she is loved at home and revered abroad for the way in which she has shared these new and unaccustomed burdensf She has shown an efliciency that makes every American even prouder than ever before to say, I am an American. Are we as a class who are almost ready to step into the heart of the world and pick up the thread of life and hard Work that has been previously dropped by one who has finished his life work, going to help in problems of peace as we did the problemsof war? Insteadfgoff entering a life of uselessness, we need not only to alleviate the political and social unrest in our own country, but also to heed the appeal borne to us on the waves of the Atlantic, to use our resources to build up our sister countries. . And now that our school days are over we are Where the' brook and river meet. We will stand at the boundiikiify line-bei tween two epochs of civilization. In later years people will look back on the present time and will say that the war of the twenti- eth century was the parting of the way, the division between the old and the new world. We must not think at present of the good times we will have in the future, for now our thoughts must be more serious, for we are looking into a future that is filled with great events, and we wonder where our footsteps will lead us. We think that we are better equipped and more able to cope with the wor1d's diflicul- ties for the war has taught us to be more sympathetic and self- sacrificing. ' r LOUISE BENDER.

SARAH LOUISE BENDER slim Commercial Course, Cloverleaf. Oh! what a laughable lass is this member of our class. Has any per- son seen Slim with a frown lately? Not often do we find her looking grouchy unless it is for some good reason, say her report, etc. But Slim, such is life, we cannot all have our names on the honor roll, and besides you'll have lots of company. You have shown your great ability as an editor of the Cloverleaf paper. Where, fair maiden, do you find such good material to slam the Palms ? Her future lies in high ideals, and we certainly hope that she finds her- l self probably a secretary to the next president's wife. Who knows? We, her . . classmates, join in wishing her every possible success. JESSIE MAY BEARD lSJesS9I Classical Courseg Palm, Deacon Dubbs g Line Busy. Behod this blonde, dancing nymph! Always chewing gum to keep time with her dancing. Has any one ever passed Jess without hearing some Door chap's name mentioned Fellows, fellows, all the time They follow her to school, The teachers warn her every day That it's against the rule. This little maid is one of our true Palms and we give her great credit for her role in Line Busy as Stut- tering' Gladys. Jess, thegreat world looms up before you. Take heed else you make a false step. As a clerk in the State Cap- itol we wish you great success. The flighty purpose is never o'er- took. I7
