In the ineantiine I tlunked in Algebra and liatin and had lu study all sunnner. Then l caine back, took the exanis over and got to be a Junior. 'WVell, here's where every teacher got down on ine. Played a little music box in study hall and got sent up to Seaton. Had a little inter- view with Miss Pritchard on etiquette in the study hall. Sassed Miss Johnston in Geometry and got another dinie lecture. Got to hollering about ring athletics and flunked in Physics. VVouldn't join Mrs. Allen's drainatic club of misled niortals and got canned out of Latin. Got along in History all right until I stuck a hat pin in the kid in front of ine, then it was all off. Even Sunnners got down on ine for smoking in front of the school building. That was too niuch of a good thing Then I flunked in three subjects in the finals. Ilad a little row at home, so I packed iny duds and flew the coop. Finally I got tired of doing the .Ianies lllads IIow act. and came back holne. Father and I gave a little song and dance stunt to the accornpanient of a black snake whip. Mother cried and went on and made ine feel bad. Started back to school, niade up work and got along pretty well. Tried to hold nie up for a picture in that nuisance, the Oipi, and when I wouldn't pay they called nie chicken. IVell, I might have been but I had a few feathers besides pin feathers. Then came the exains and thank the Lord I passed. I have to thank Hint for no other person could have helped ine. So here I ani a Senior. fwaused three or four explosions in chemical lab, turned a lnouse loose in study hall, went with the girls and tried to boss the student. council and passed the tirst finals with ease tliaiil Balked on buying class pins, had one interview with the school hoard and carried on in general. So here I ani facing either my Austerlitz or iny IVaterloo in these last finals. By the way, it' you donlt know about those two nanies ask Miss IValker.

Now how I ever came to get here I don't know for I certainly l1ad all the bad luck anybody could have. Had a. rabbitls foot, too, but that didn't seem to help much. Hflee, but I must have been a green one when I was a Freshman. I remember the first day I came here. I thought this was about the finest place on earth. I found out different though in a few days. That was when I had a little business call from a few of the Sophomore boys. Really an entertaining call, too, tfor them.j I felt like I had fallen into a volcano. But anyway I took off my loud sox and that orange and black sweater and quit asking questions of the upper class- men. Wllhen came the exams, those instruments of torture applied by the teachers at the end of each semester. Wliew, they were hard. But I got by somehow, pity plea, sympathy act, sob story and all that, you know. Then I had hardly gotten over that one till here came another, had me on the jump but somehow I passed that one. ttrllhen I was a Sophomore. You know how that is, you get that ttsweet sixteen and never been kissed feeling. Wear loud sox and .1 rah-rah hat. I got to be quite a ladies' man, too. VVinked at a Iunior girl and nearly got my head knocked oft by her Senior fellow. 'llrierl out for football team. Piggie was playin' then. He set on my head just once and then I decided football wasnlt my game. Welit in for basketball, then somebody smashed me in the eye. C'ouldn't see for about a week. I decided to quit that. 'llhen I tried out for track team. Some fellow running behind me spiked me and I had to hobble around on crutches. I decided then that baseball was the game I was cut out for. l tried out for catcher, got. too close to the bat. You know thc rest.
