- L the Seniors a fitting' farewell. And listen, all ye Sophomores: XX'e are the Seniors of next year. Most of our funds were raised by the Carnival, which was quite a novelty and a great success. Our main attraction was the imported fortune teller. Ask W. L. and N. ll. if their fortunes came true. Other attractions were the Smallest llaby in the XYorld, Come See the Klon- key, the Zoo, and Candy Stand. 'llhis year we also sold pop and sandwiches at the basketball tournament, but for the benefit of the llooster Club, al- though we did gain one-fourth of the profits for our class. l must not close my history without mentioning the horrors of Geometry class.

Alison, and Miss l'.u- cile Yan lfman. Mr. Abson, though learned in books. let the l reshies'f prove too much for him and toward the end of the year was forced to give his place to Mr. Leon llucher.

This caused great dismay in the eighth but after we treated them to a party they acknowledged us the They, in return, invited us to a theatre party which will long be ,Xnd this ended our Freshman year. ln our Sophomore year we had Nr. Jarman as superintendent, Miss Dob- son and Miss livans as faithful teachers.
