HH lhmircm En Zllnunimfs fcontinuedl I know that your class, Juniors, will be the noisiest next year because every Senior class has that title. If you let our reputation down, the faculty will have to discontinue citizenship meetings. What would our dear teachers have to chew-the-rag about then? Keep away from 'l'app's and the Marshall Drug Store unless you have that little slip of paper on file in Mr. Coleman's office. A UH is not to be taken lightly when you are a Senior. and Seniors are always caught no matter who else goes up town. Nom: If you really must have a coke. just ask Miss Partlowg it's easy. Whatever you do, throw that chewing gum away before enter- ing Mrs. Erwin's class because the points that are the penalty make a sick grade look ill, Be sure to pay the best of attention in Miss Partlow's and Mr. Gwin's classes because you will surely be called on to explain what has just been said. Believe me that is a blushing predicament. Just try to get out of that one with an alibi, broth-er I In conclusion, we want to wish to every one of you Juniors the best of luck that can be wished by mortals. JEANNETTE POE IRMA HARRINGTON

H1 lhliiizr Eu llzmnminnrs L27 I don't know whether or not the class of '46 is eligible to give advice, but we shall try. As it has been said before advice is cheap Well, I guess that is about all we can offer because of the money situation. Be sure that during the warm days ahead that old dirty sock in the far end of the bureau drawer doesnit spring a leak to buy cokes because the time will come when you will Wish it had been water instead of cokes you had drunk. When you become Seniors. you are to be dignifiedg so don't break the record by being noisy and making the hall your hangout. Be sure you get your Senior privileges as soon as possible. If you do. you will be the first class of Seniors to get your lunch before anyone else gets there ahead of you. Watch assembly days, or you won't get lunch at all. The best policy is to take a seat near the back so that you will have an easy get-away. In the lunch room handicap Senior privileges are sometimes run over. fSenior privileges l WVhat ani I talking ahout?D Now donlt make Miss Chappelear lose her temper unless you Want your head used for an eraser duster. Don't take a subject in a. room next to Miss Robertson, or she will hear the teacher yell at you, and your citizenship grade will be lowered. Write your thesis as soon as possibleg the more time you have the better it will be, Remember 1.500 Words is a long, long way to go. Girls. if you Want to get out of physical education, take it first period because the boys just take over. Be a good friend of Mr. Corder's, and you will pass his sub- jects with an average of 98. By the Way, his Weakness is food and plenty of it.

fliirirsg ll-B Dear Diary: September 7 -- Yes, today we became the Seniors of '46, but we were reminded of our sardiue days when thirty-nine of us crowded into the old Senior room Some stood, the fortunate sat and one fellow occupied the inverted trash basket. but we were proud to be Mar- shall's largest Senior class. September 12 -- To the accompaniment of the swish. swish of paint brushes on walls that had not had a paint job for over ten years. the Seniors chose their class officers. We thought an election would be more enterta.inment for the painters than English literature. and no one wanted to risk losing the opportunity of getting those classrooms painted even at the price of sacrificing an English lesson. Jane Pierce was elected presidentg Virginia Blevins, vice-president: Betty Ball. secretary: and Gloria Holmes, treasurer. September 17 -- Moving day for the Seniors: it's unbelievable but true. The seventh grade room has become our home room. We have light, heat. freshly painted walls. windows for flowers. a big coat closet. two easy chairs and space enough to crawl out of the Hsardine' can for the 'first time in four years. October 15 -- The Seniors banked their first dollar today. For five years now the first Senior dollar has been won from the Hlnkwelll' staff for bringing in the most subscriptions to the school paper. October 31 -- Ghosts. goblins. witches- all of them were to be found at the Marshall High School on l-lallowelen night at the party given by the home room ruothers. James Pickett. a Senior. won first prize for the best costume There is no limit to what a Senior will do to uphold the honor of his classg James was a most convincing hobo. November 2 -- A victory drive was opened today. and the pupils of the school were given the responsibility of raising 332,000 on the E Bond quota for Fauquier County. At the end of the drive the Seniors were responsible for bringing in 36,581.25 That's the way to do it!
