CLASS PESSI IMS! Well every year they always have a Class Grumbler, so this year for some reason I was elected it. In my opinion every one has the right to grumble if you ask me. You have to sit in the room every day, all day long with your head stuck in a book, which does no one any good. They give you four or five books and you are told to get busy and be quiet. They won’t let you chew gum, talk or do anything except study all day long. Then when dinner time comes, they let you off for about an hour fora little of real fun, but then after that back to study again. This kind of life goes on for about twelve or thirteen years for just a little thing called a diploma. Just think all this studying for just this. I’d like to meet the person who said we had to go to school anyway. And instead of giving us the diploma and letting us go home, we have to go through graduating exercises, wearing caps and gowns. Boy, life sure gets tedious. JOKES “I looked upon the mountain, I gazed across the plain, I thought I saw some green stuff, That looked like waving grain.” “I took another look, I thought it was some grass; Good gracious to my horror, I found. That it was the Freshman Class. Marie: “So John is teaching you how to play baseball? Martha Sue: “Yes. and when I asked him what a squeeze play was, I think he put one over on me. Eugene: “Why did you close your eyes when I kissed you? Mary Ann: “Because I thought I was in heaven and who ever heard of a black-headed angel. Dinkey: “You are the breath of life to me. Joyce: “Well, suppose you hold your breath for a while? Ray: “Could I change this pair of pants at this counter? Lena: “No sir! There’s a dressing room in the rear. 25
