J. II. S. FOLIO 9 THE IV-U ENGLISH Dl VISION We have a DEAR division. Yes. DEAR. we have the president of the Senior Class in our division. and the members are all ONE. And LUYALTY, there is no question about that for. if. by misfortune, one has been up late the night before, a kindly neighbor is always ready to as- sist him in his lessons. so that all may have a Pl'lRl EU'l' reeitation. This has helped a great deal in keeping up the good standing: of the IV-C division, espeeially in the English elass. under the supervision of our instructor. lf there is anything you wish to know,-ask himg he will give you with a smile all the information you wish to have. So. under these eonditions, our division sineerely believes, and all believe that there is but one sehool. and that is of eom-se. JORDAN Illtill SCHOOL. DADDIFISH Daddy used to be considered a very ehildish name for a father. but now the modern girl, who is a ehum to her father, almost invariably ealls him Dad. Dad is signitieent of a palg it means more to a daugh- ter or a son than merely representing the man of the house. lt almost seems as though fathers had been negrleeted. Many beanti. ful songs have been written to Mothers and sung by the greatest artists. llvery great artist has at least one mother song in his repertoire. Poetry. yes, the finest poetry has been written on the mother theme. Hreat men in the publie eye. attribute their sneeess to their mothers. ln all prob- ability, their mothers deserve it. but where do the fathers eome in for praise? Are they worth so little that they do not get even honorable mention? Certainly not. ln the life of boys and girls and their trainingr. fathers play a great part. Espeeially in the development of a boy. is the father a very im- portant factor. Fhildren are first. last and always. mimies. 'Phey always have been and always will be. From the time a little boy is able to toddle around. he walks like Daddy. talks like him. even in some eases he makes believe smoke like Daddy. livery aetion of Daddy is earefully watehed. later to be imitated. Eaeh impression is earefnlly reeordingl itself on little minds. And yet fathers don't deserve songs or poetry? What do fathers mean to lligh Sehool students? 'fo some of ns eareless girls and boys. fathers mean money. Dut in our hearts. money is not eonsidered at all. Daddies stand for something big and st rong. a person to be respeeted, whose opinion is valuable to us on all snbjeets. There are a few things that it wouldn't seem-manly to tell mother. es- eapades. ete., but to tell father.-well father was a boy onee. so father understands. And so to fathers. we dedicate this editorial. to fathers whom we think perhaps have been unappreeiated. Dome. Jordan High Sehool students. and drink a toast, Here's to our fathers. our Daddies.

8 J. H. S. FOLIO time conquers future difficulties. For our own good let us say, Till we meet again. B. li. TO JORDAN HIGH ANU ITS TEACHERS Today the class of 1924 graduates. Some of us will be lucky enough to go further in our education, and some of us will probably go forth in the world to face the battle of life. But while we have the opportunity, we want. to thank the teachers who have so carefully spent much of their time preparing us for life. Graduation is the turning point in our eareers, for we shall now decide what we shall do for our life work. And so we thank the school that has aimed to bring us to this time and to place us before the world with a feeling of democrat-y and love for our fellowmen. We thank the teach- ers who have tried to form our morals and to give us a good outlook on life, as well as to teach us the three R's. lt is not the lessons we learn in High School that count so much, although of course they do eount, even though there are many ot' these that will soon he forgotteng it is the ideas that we form while in High School and follow throughout our lives that will count and show if we have gained anything from our four years' association with this school. Some of us will do one thing, some of us another, but whatever we do il' we do it well we will be of some use in this world. It is not always the smartest people in school who win out in life,.for often an ordinary pupil gains a better insight into life 's problems and does niueh better in the great game of life. lf we bear this in mind and always do things that seem right, way down deep in our hearts, l am sure that Jordan High will always be proud of her class of 1924. Rose Flynn KIDDING VVhat a truly destructive form of speech kidding is! It destroys faith in mankind and frankness. One man say something he truly means, but it may be regarded by the listener as just a bit of kidding. On the other hand. a person may say something in a kidding manner. but with that manner so disguised that it may seem as if he were speaking truthfully. The old days of frankness have become a thing of the past. and King Kidder is now in the height of his power. But how long must his reign last? Forever? lt must not! A person although not naturally inclined to kid his life away, has to do so now-a-days in self-defense. lt certainly is little wonder that the older generations refer with a sigh to the days when we were young. lrene Cole

When he first came here. he was a, shy and retiring person, but he soon blossomed out from a modest violet 'to a gay gardenia. Under the gnidaneo of Jordan High, his better nature asserted itself and his sheik-like tactics on the polished surface are only equalled by his ability to spout Demosthenes before the pnblie, both singly and in groups. Bennie expects to pereolate at Bates for the next four years. ARENSTAM, JACOB, Jake Congressman College Uourse Morse Iligh, Bath, Maine Short and sweet.
