lQ5vrm1-in lb ln: if-B We Seniors donlt have much to grumble about. and I'm not the kind to grumble, but I must say a few things. This year we haven't had many ar-tivities periods. Miss Chappel- ear and Mr. Oorder just couldnlt harness those sardinesg so we suffered. Miss Uliappelea r said, I just karn't do itf' As a result the girls and boys conIdn't practice basketball, indeed, they might have played better games with a little more practice, but who would Want to come to games at Marshall anyway? First. you might fall in a hole and break a leg, or if you come in an automobile, it would certainly mire to the axle in mud, and the labor situation being such as it is, you would have to get the first and second grade children to push you out. We really envy the Seniors of '47 and '48 because we won't be around to hear Miss Brewer and Miss Robertson in the hall. between periods, gossiping about something. To give you an exam ple, Miss Robertson says. This younger generation! I just don't know what's going to become of it, Then Miss Brewer replies. Now. Miss Robertson, I think you are entirely right: just what do you suggest? 1 do declare to hear them talk one would think they were never young. Poor Miss Partlow, we Seniors are so bad and troublesome that there is no wonder she doesn't weight 210 pounds, but she's still our pin-up girl. Well, between classes, there is an old familiar refrain of Miss HoWdershell's, 1-Iurry now and get those tennis shoes on. Com- pletely exhausted from doing this, we hobble back to that nice warm auditorium C31 just to hear her say. Now we shall make full use of this hour. Believe me we did! As I said before, we donit grumble much. Why we karn't be- cause Miss Sue might come up and say, Now don't you think you're making a little too much noise? JOHN GOTT PETER CORBIN

Qiillrilefhiirlimrtg Ll? This is the dawn of a new era. Man has harnessed the power he has long been striving to attain e- the power of the atom. He has also reached the eternal goal of peace It is within our power to keep that hard won prize. but we cannot maintain it by merely hoping. We must actively work for a just and lasting peace. .When we entered high school the war, for Americans, had just begung and now we, the class of '46. are the first to graduate since then during a time of peace. As we go out into this world we must realize that it is our world, and it is merely what we make it. This is the Twentieth Century. and we must face the facts that it is a modern earth on which we live, that many changes have occurred and are occurring rapidly in our way of life. We are living on a shrunken planet where we can no longer be isolated from seemingly remote sections which are now only a few hours distant. NVe are leaving high school, but life as citizens of this new world is just beginning. Let us complete the fulfillment of Tennyson's prophecye For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the Wonder that would be: Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight. dropping down with costly bales: Heard the heavens fill with shouting. and there rain'd a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blueg Far along the world-wide whisper of the south-Wind rushing Warm, With the standards of the peoples plunging thro' the thunder-stormy Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer. and the battle-flags were furl'd In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world. There the common sense ofmost shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law. JOHN GOODIS
