T. BERNHARD V 10LVERT0N Socrates Salutatorian President 1020. A. I really would be a ladies’ man if I had more time. P. Studious is hardly the word, it lacks proper intensity.

Tope.) We are now on the last six weeks of the sehool year. It is the most important period of the entire school year. It is the time when the firmest resolutions of life may be formed. On the other hand, it is the time when Hie m sl reckless and trifling decisions are made. During these six weeks, it is very necessary that pupils a'tend sehool every day and that they not only prepare, but that they endeavor to recite every lesson well. II Is also very important that pupils who have been failing or who are too near the failing line should see their teachers and get their personal suggestions and help in the preparation of the daily lessons. Every teacher will be glad to spend any amount of time to help a student who wants to learn. A teacher may become discouraged in trying to coax and compel a pupil to learn, hut no case can be found vh re she neglects a pupil who is really trying to take advantage of the instruction and guidance that the school offers. Pupils should go over their grade cards carefully and then they should go 1o the teachers and get the advice and suggestions that will help them to complete the year’s work in the most creditable manner. School success depends almost entirely on how well the pupils respond to Hie suggestions the teachers offer from day to day. The most foolish thing in the world that a student can do is to give up or quit school before he finishes his work. Students who do quit, live a great many years to regret the reckless decision they made. Slay in school; go to the teachers after school for help; and spend twice as much time on your school work: are the wise things to do at this season of Hi year if you want to build substantially for a successful life in the years to come. GRETC1IEN THOMAS Sniffy Class Secretary-Treas. A. There’s nothing so kindly as kindness and nothing so loyal as truth. P. A pleasanter disposi-tion you seldom find. Gretchen Thomas, is the next one’s name Sweet, gentle and happy and always the same She’s up to some prank as always though She’ll pay for her pleasures sometime, I trow.

P. Wlien he knows a thing everybody knows he knows. Jimmy Rusk, our new acquisition Who came to us on an unknown mission. The mystery cleared, the victim fell Clorinda’s his and all is well. Now that most institutions of higher learning in the country have adopted the so called Quarter Basis for the sehool year, the plan is being considered by public school systems throughout the country. Several well known public school systems have decided to adopt the plan for next year. It is a simple scheme of organization. The year is divided into four quarters of thirteen school weeks each. There is one week of vacation between each of these quarters. This gives an opportunity for the teachers to work all the year round, just as people who follow other vocations do. It also gives an opportunity for the school to put on a full summer program that will he as well planned and as definite as its fall, winter and spring programs. The school will vary its program to suit the needs of the summer time and it would also correlate its work with the activities of the summer season. JOHN a COTTRELL Count Valedictorian. Pres.
