Bm g JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO There is a smile on every Senior's lips ...... I wonder if that smile comes from the heart. Or is it a smile which masks a deep feeling of sorrow in the depths of every Senior's heart? -Solange Perry. 61Qmfl:vdNu9fT WHY I SHALL BE GOOD I visited the jail the other day Qonly to take pictures, you knowj, but its atmosphere still haunts me. Somehow, I cannot seem to get away from that pervading, deep, dense gloom. Not that the jail was not clean, for it was spotless. But it was 'thc heavy, overhanging odor of disinfectant. Just in fun, Chief Ashton, Captain Picard, Mr. Butler and Mr. Kel- ley locked us in. Us included boys, too, but when those floors shut with a thud! And iron bars all ,aroundl Oh, I assure you I shall be very good! -Eleanor Supovitz. 6- bd5:gf D FINDING YOURSELF Being a voracious reader, I have Often noticed how .many persons of accomplishment were not always in their present profession or call- ing. They began their life work in a totally different line of endeavor. Then Fate or Chance stepped in and placed them in their existing posi- tions. Many students, in finishing school, are often puzzled to know what they shall do next. Indeed, it may become a source of much worry to them. Frank W. Ohannell. 6 Nu1Jl:eIHn9 D Wfith a feeling of happiness, mingled with pangs of regret, we find that the day of our graduation has arrived. NVe greet it with gladness because we have successfully completed these four years of hard workg with sadness because we must part from our dear friends and from teachers, who have made our work lighter and easier. SO, four happy and fruitful years of our lives draw to a close, and we wonder what lies beyond. XK'e try to foresee what worlds lie before us and what new fields of adventure we must explore. No matter what dif- ficulties present themselves, we are prepared to meet them, for these years of study have not been in vain. As we part, let us resolve to try to keep in touch with one another, so that the work and reputation es- tablished by the Class of Twenty-Eight shall not be soon forgotten. Once more, we bid each other farewell. . -Bert Beliveau.

JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO 13 THE ADVANCED SCIENCE CLUB One of the most entertaining, instructive, and at the same time. unique clubs in jordan High is the A. S. C. It is unique in that it has no officers and no parliamentary form of conduct. Club- meetings are held at intervals of about two weeks, and a1'e devoted to lectures and talks by the members, this year numbering five seniors and six juniors, besides Mr. M ahan, science instructor. .Xmong the subjects taken up this year are: submarine navigation: aerial navigation, speed boats, photography, cathode and X-rays, which were demonstrated, demonstration of the .lioucault pendulum, a device for making visible the rotation of the earth: preparation of Phosf phine, a highly poisonous and spontaneously explosive gasg toxicology: radio, and so forth. The elub has also witnessed a number of moving pictures of scientific processes. This association furnishes a great deal of interesting and helpful scientific knowledge to its members, who are free to carry out any physical and chemical experiments on subjects in which they are in- terested. In the course of the year a large amount of scientific informa- tion on various topics is acquired. The senior members of the club are: Marcel lf. lflleureux - 'I'iji- nitrotoluolug .Xshley M.

Her hair was in Wild disorder. ller face was flushed and distorted. She Was in a terrible dilemma. Sha looked like a dreadfully injured and desperate girl. XYith anger and indignation reaching to a dreadful height, she could stand it no longer. Mereiless one-cruel one---I have stood it long enough. l was proud of you, of your beautyf-your grace-proud of my possession of you-proud of the envy of my friends--I glorified in the enemies I made through my possession. Ah, but you are smalls-small! Ilow l' have been deceived! You have ruined my standing in society 'ftorturcd me until I screamed in the agony of my soul, and still I loved you! Yes, loved you through it all. Hut now- saha! Yes, now-Y will I end it all! I cast you from me forever ! I .Nnd with that she ripped off her right shoe and flung it into the lire. The agony was over and the tragedy ended! -Eflmz M. Ilelmx. No wonder those Seniors a1'e all smiling. 'l'hey're going lu graduatef' That is what I heard the other day. XYell, why shouldn't they be smiling? I questioned myself. The more I thought about it. the sadder I became. Oh, yes, itlis hard to leave one's school. Is it easy to leave our friends, some of whom We may never meet again?

JORDAN HIGH SCHOOL FOLIO YOUR FUTURE Now our school days are over and our future lies before us shining and new. XVhen you take your future in your hands do not dull its brightness by scars of defeat and failure but keep it ever bright with the polish of success. If, in your future, you make a few mistakes, do not let them pass uncorrected and continue on in the future, but, as each mistake occurs, correct it immediately and try not to have it occur again. If you follow these directions, your future will be as bright and valuable as a new Silver Dollar. --Florence Coffey. Giindbdkzvffi l am going to tell you a little about the funny lookingi' instru- ment 1've been playing in the school orchestra. First, its name... B-A-S-S-O-O-N-Bassoon!! All right? Bassoon reeds are double. The vibration of the reed makes the sound. The X'Voodwind quartet in a symphony is composed of clarinet, flute, aboe, and bassoon. The latter is the bass of the quartet. It has a range of three octaves. It isn't very difficult to play-if you know how '..... . Far from being a jazz instrument, the bassoon is very slow respond- ing in the lower notes. Have I said enough to give you an idea as to what a B-A-S- S-O-O-N is? Let's hope so!! --R. P. Saucier. Cin:-Jbdkusfi High schools are beneficial to all students, but 'their benefits are considered in two ways. First, the student who is to go to work at the end of his high school years, knows that the education he received there, is his only help for advancement to a high position. Hence it is more difficult for him to get a high position than the college graduate. The college preparatory student thinks of high school only as a place to prepare him for college. He does not consider it an aid to him in after life. Therefore, both should get the most out of their high school edu- cation because it will be of superb service to them. --Norman Boothby. 6 'r:v3bdYuu9'7 XYhen we say that we have courage we mean that we must face life with confidence, that we must believe that all is well and that no harm will happen to the honest man. It will help us to hold out against all that we have to face. lVe must seize our opportunities with eagerness and enthusiasm, we must be willing to run the risk of taking chances, that is, we must not turn back when we meet the hardships of life and we must not quit if our life is not just like we would like to have it. -Armand Picard.
