school with a shower bath, or by causing fainting spells among the students by taking off the shoes of the Freshmen who could be found on the yard. Many of us needed study, and it seemed as if we could study better at recess than at any other timt. Those who did not take the Doctors ' advice were stricken during the epidemic of examinations and dropped along the wayside, but the rest of the class had to keep going. We were ushered the next year into the Sophomore class, having grown wiser during the travel of nine months over the road on which many had failed to succeed. Our enrollment of eighty the previous year had diminished to sixty-three, but wo returned determined to pester the new members just slipped through the gates of grammar school. We resumed our studies only to find that the path was not growing any wider or any smoother. We had wild dreams that never came true. We soon decided to be good students and never have to stay in more than five afternoons to the week. We were like a kite in a March wind at times, and always told our parents that it was the teachers ' fault. We now realize that it was through them that we passed over the path with so small a number of scars and bruises. The epidemic cf examinations swooped down upon us again, but the most of us had gained a lesson from the previous pestilence and were prepared. There were fifty-nine of us to worry our teachers the next year while passing over the hardships and encountering many storms which blocked our progress in the Junior class. Every day in every way we were growing wiser and wiser, but still there were difficulties to overcome which we could not realize were preparing us for paths even rougher. We were beginning to show up on the athletic field; six of the boys were members of the football squad, four were on the basketball team, and two of our girls represented our class on the girls ' basketball team. Our class also won the music test put on by Miss Edmundson, the music teacher. The Charm School, which our class presented to the public, was said to be a success, and I ' m sure that any Senior of last year ' s graduation class will declare it was. The leaves began to bud and many of us caught the spring fever, which lengthened our days on the path, but after diagnosis by the doctor, this was found to be only laziness, and it soon had to be shaker, off. The day of the annual Junior-Senior banquet came. This event was enjoyed by all, but not forgotten by many on account of the mistakes made in etiquette even after studying the book for two weeks. The path was getting rougher and steeper, but we were used to it ere this. Although we had a stiff climb during this year, we were not anxious to leave our faithful teachers who had helped us to make our stay in this class a successful one. We passed on into the Senior class with forty-two to fight our way in the darkest hour of the night, which is said to come just before dawn. The path was very rough, for many hardships were imposed upon us. We nearly lost the seats in the auditorium which it had been customary for the Seniors to occupy. We were helped by our efficient room-teacher and others who forgot the many things that we had done to wcrry them. We had many things to look forward to and one of them was the banquet given us by the Juniors. We enjoyed it even more than we did last year, as we did not have to chase over town to borrow plates and silver for the occasion. Other things came to pass which made us hate to leave, but there are still objectives ahead in life ' s journey, and we must move on to make room for those left behind. —DANIELS, ' 24 Page Nineteen

Elizabeth Bizzell Dibba Where ' s the History assignment? ' ' Oh, it sounds as if Dibba were think- ing seriously about studying. She came from Clinton two short years ago and we frankly admit that we don ' t see how they ' re doing without her. You see, Dibba has a way that you must admire.
