Qf course, it is the most difficult thing in the world for the Seniors to be quiet, as they always seem to have very im- portant business to be taken care of at that particular time. However, as soon as we spy Miss Mac Queen advancing toward us with her proper equipment for taking roll, the business transactions cease immediately, and are postponed indefinitely. Roll is taken in the first two or three rows when we hear a low mumbling in an undertone near the front of the room. bliss Mac Queen immediately glances toward the direction and says, Buster, please turn around and keep quiet until I finish taking the roll. VVhy, I was just asking Lee what our Physics lesson is, and he was looking it up for me. That will do, Buster, I don't want to speak to you again about talking. Roll is now taken, it being Friday, our cheer-leader, Edward Bartelt, rises and faces the Seniors. Qf course, we all understand what he means: promptly we begin- Lious, lions- Hear us roar! Seniors, Seniors- Twentydfour. After this there is a grand hub-bub: everyone talking, and making more noise than the next one. We listen to a few other yells from the various lower classmen: finally deciding that we are capable of making more noise than any other class, which I think no one will deny. VVe now find that it is 9:00 o'clock so we must ransack our desks to find all the books, papers, assignment books U7 pens, pencils, erasers, and all other necewary equipment which is to be taken along to class. Miss Nlac Queen passes us to classes and finds it absolutely necessary to stand exactly beside the door so as to keep us in line, and prevent us from running ahead of each other down the hall. I don't under- stand why they should be so particular about our taking our time, as we are all so anxious to get to class and begin our hard day's work! VVe arrive at the History Room, finding Miss Fehlhaher standing just outside the door slowing down our speed sufficiently enough to allow us to turn in the entrance, stopping us from rushing past. The three rows of chairs are in straight lines across the fioor, and they are just as straight after we are all seated. fYou may use your own imagination about this.D Our History teacher advances to the front of the room without our hearing her, on account of the talking and quarreling about our seating arrangement. Roy Schuler is determined to sit between Myrtle and Mabel, and at the same time the two girls want to sit next to each other. The argument is soon settled when Miss Fehlhaber seats them according to her own desire and wish. She calls 'for order and in about ten minutes we are all fairly quiet. We are told to put aside our Literary Digest and prepare for recitation on the articles assigned us on the day before. Then the fun begins. Naturally, everyone wants to recite at once: and, therefore, before long disorder reigns in the History room. Miss Fehl- haber again calls for order: and finally calls on Vera for information on the subject. As we all know Vera always reads her Literary Digest thoroughly, and is usually ready with a good recitation. Before she has finished we hear a low grumbling and a general dispute. Vera's recitation is concluded, and it is discovered that both Russell and Kenneth disagree greatly with several of her remarks. Our heroine immediately sits up and takes notice, ready to defend her statements in every respect. A Page F orty-seven
