Gazing around school we all know it is Spring. You know the old saying — Spring, when a young man ' s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of loaf. Due to some of the inspiring, affectionate phrases expressed by some of the Seventh and Eighth Grade Antonies in messages to their Cleo ' s the feminine sex may hopefully look for- ward to their future engagements. After nearly four years of sound-minded jest from our schoolmate Maurice, we hope he isn ' t getting too sentimental about a certain attractive Sophomore with whom he has been lately. We are eagerly awaiting the results of such a drastic step. Paul Elder came to school looking very sad the other day, and we were wondering why. He confided this to us: I ' m afraid I won ' t have any close friends for a few days because I just put on my summer underwear, which has been stored in moth balls. But he was a bit consoled when we told him not to use his Life- buoy for a few weeks and no one would know the difference. The High School students underwent an in- telligence test April 8th, perhaps for the first time. All are awaiting the results with both dread and hope. It will either prove the teach- ers ' theory that they have no intelligence or their own that they are really quite brilliant. Here ' s a secret. We saw Johnny thinking while taking the intelligent test. Well, well, you never can tell how these boys will turn out. The following teachers are planning to be in school this summer: Mr. Holben at Indiana U.; Mr. Allgood at Terre Haute; Mr. Motts, Miss Beckner and Miss Gulp at Manchester; Miss Gulp and Miss Housour at Goshen College.
