Four years ago when this sturdy body of Seniors entered the portals of the Mendota Township High School, there was a dread of the unknown and a wonder mingled with awe as to what was to be done with the four long years that we were to spend here in study. The riddle has finally been solvedg the four years are nearly over, and it seems as though it were yesterday that we were Freshmen with no care or responsibility whatsoever on our shoulders. Wlhen we first came to this sehool we were given lots of adviee which we eheerfully accepted and profited by, at least we hope so. VVe are now in a position to give adviee and, as we do not want to be an exception to the rule, we shall avail ourselves of the privilege. First of all, a Freshman should work hard in his first yearg then it. will be easier for him the remaining years. Second, all Sophomores should be eareful about the enlarged headg it is catching at times and will assume prodigious proportions unless eheeked immediately. Third, to the Juniors we ean only say, pattern yourselves after us: then you shall be nobly repaid for your efforts. TWENTY- SEVEN
