Our physical education year was divided into several seasons of sports for us to enjoy. It is not at all strange that this was the favorite subject of ours. Home work was omitted, though we did it for our own pleasure. What we like the most we have the least so accordingly we had two hours a week for this subject! That pleased us. gg Euclid started it! It was all his fault! Through his dis- l coveries we were forced to struggle. We entered geometry all unsuspecting a hideous future. Though bent and broken, we insisted on taking a more solid subject in which we be- came subject to Hts of sleep. We learned formulas at the least possible excuse-formulas for which we could never ind use unless on some rare occasion an interested person might casually ask the volume of some odd shaped box. Equations and graphs led us a merry life for the next semes- ter. Though they were disguised by a different name they proved as much bother as any other part of mathematics. Given a summer for an intermission we promptly forgot the material gathered and once more learned it with additions. We learned how to slide on the slide rule and we learned that logs had some other use than Hrewood. A few bleak surviv- ors struggled on to 21 most unpromising subject called trigo- nometry. The sines, cosines, and tangents guided us along that extremely triangular way to temporary success. l i On their marks! fWe hope they'rc Aus, Learnin Y to slide-.1 rule. fs A stirrin' icture! 2- P Chimney!

Sheet metal work-it seems odd for boys to meddle with sheets. Wfe learned that even machines shop. Une class would workg wouldn't they? Spare that tree! But the tree has been board for many days. A plane bit of work. Here .irc some real Hlnjunsu. Handling a ragged rug. Poor girl! She works in rags Wl1.it subject is this? I gas engines. A plane helped to plane the plain rough surface to a smooth degree. The wizardry of woodwork and the spell of the shop held us. The projects were per- fect. Mechanical drawing helped design the projects and aided us in our courses in mathematics. The pies and cakes baked were in themselves models of perfectiong of course, sometimes the pie crust was leath- ery, the cakes fell, but only on occasions which we wonit remember. Thus pre- pared housekeeping will be no burden for us. Crafty crafters took the course in or- der to change the word rag to rug. They knitted odd things which no one could recognize. They carried knitting needles about the school dropping both needles and stitches noticeably to attract atten- tion. Promising artists promised great developments in the field of art. Prom- ises are seldom kept. Houses and sketches of people were common. It was hard to tell which were the houses and which were the people. But music! Ah! Music hath charms to sooth the savage beast . Very little soothing music was found though. The choruses disturbed pre-Christmas quiet by marching through the halls trying their best to bring joy to the world.

Ii.: john, I should like you to prepare some copy for the Hematite about the activities of your class. C. P.: Huh? 44 H. lf.: l understand you had a Hard Timesnparty. C. P.: Uh-huh. H. ll.: And the boys' gym was decorated to re- present a barn, and every- one came in clothes to suit the occasion? Some one told me that prizes for the funniest costumes were awarded to Carolyn Cohoe and Fred Lilyroth. Wlere they? C. P.: Uh-huh. 3' Are there any H. I... attractive girls in your class? C. P.: Clior the first time showing signs of life.j Yeah, we can win the championship in that! H. lf.: lt, of course, goes without saying that a class which would elect you for its president must be out- standing in scholarship and intelligence. C. P.: Huh? H. lf.: Thank you for your valuable assistance.
