Current Gpinion UTM S1zgg4'.fI10115-fbi' RLfbl'1II To get a better idea of The Thundering Herd I should advise a visit to the lower floor when the final bell rings. Really I believe traffic rules and regulations should be enforced. Perhaps it might be wise to delegate the Boy Scouts to direct traffic. Something should be done about all the steps in this building. By the time the pupil reaches his class, he is completely exhausted. Smith, you know, is a conservativeg he favors the installation of elevators. Cornell, a would-be gentleman, advocates escalators. Personally I am a radical, I favor having all classes but Chemistry on the ground floor.-Speaking of Chemistry.-The happy idea of erecting a new and separate building for Chemistry classes has just occurred to me. I believe it should be built on the far corner of the square at Fourth and Sycamoreg it should be air tight, and equipped with first aid appliances, lungmotors, etc. In case this proposition does not receive due consideration, allow me to suggest that all lockers be equipped with gas-masks. Cornell, being a fastideous gentle- man, thinks clothespins would suffice. The prodigous length of the halls is another matter that draws our attention. Some means of more rapid locomotion should be provided. When a pupil is forced to walk the length of three city squares to a class Kas often is the easel something should be done. For the following suggestion we are indebted to John Hey. I believe , said Mr. Hey, that each student should be provided with a scooter. I own one myself and find it to be a very safe and economical means of trans- portationf' Allow me to suggest that each student be given a flashlight to find his way through the halls. Mr. Bailey reports that several students, who were tardy to classes, excused themselves by saying that they were lost in the dark hallways. Jack Tutwiler has been absent for three days-I hope he isn't lost in one of the halls. Ray lVIaniX '27 .K X vs-... .X -. Q. -yiffs ,S ,X so Warm-.i X' lb X N' i .. ,-MX-s,r.t -. ,Sky X ' iv Y. xi .

Some of the members of this staff have remarkable memories. We can remember- When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When there was a Cafeteria Fund . we could skip classes and get away with it. there was grass on the campus. we could go to our lockers anytime. we could sleep in the assembly. Shorty was a little shyster. something was said about school dances. we won a football game. Delbert was a shy Freshman. our basketball team was the terror of Western Ohio. We didn't have to dress in gym. We held flag rushes and painted sidewalks. we had an hour and a half at lunch time. the periods were forty-five minutes long. Bob Riegel had a Ford. we could chew gum in classes. Miss Murphy didn't have gray hair. we all believed in Santa Claus. the pieces the band played all sounded alike. Charley Deeter had front teeth. we had ten periods a day. We could take a short cut through the gym. slips were sent home every month. several boys attempted to wear middies. the girls Wore long hair-and dresses. We didn't have to read ten outside reading books. Mr. Gray had a Literary Society. Mr. Martz didn't teach Physics. we had school in the Memorial Hall. you could spit on the floor and get away with it. Chemistry classes were held in the basement. girls could wear what they wanted to, 01' what they didn't want to, to school. When When When When Mr. Ottman wasn't married. Shorty didn,t have fallen arches. We thought Miss Brauch was a school-girl. We helped raise that horrible smell that comes from the Chem- istry room. I believe that you will admit that we have exceptional memories, but not one among us can remember- When Miss Lindsey bought her scarf! Ray Manix '27 Page one lznizclrvrl fifteen
