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.
