;o;c 3:::K:::sc::a THE MIRROR irt?-g«g-ss-gwgii«w| THE LAST FIVE MINUTES Of all the minutes of a school clay we most enjoy the last five minutes. The three Junior sheiks are John, Erich, and Elmer. They waste the last five minutes looking at their $1.50 Ingersolls, but they couldn’t tell you what time it was if you asked them. Elmer spends most of his valuable time talk- ing and writing notes to the Junior shebas, especially his favorites, Louella and Rose, but he can hardly be bothered with the rest of us. A few days after John had his class ring he gave it to Hazel to wear. When he went home that night his mother said, “John, where is your ring?” John was frightened to death. He started to say that Hazel had it and his mother said, “Oh, Johnny that’s perfectly all right but I want you to get it back and be sure not to give it away again. So the next day he went up to Hazel and said, “Hazel, would you please give my ring back because my mother gave me the dickens?” That was the end of his romance. Erich is a studious boy. He doesn’t pay much attention to the girls. The Junior shebas are Leona, Rose, Edna, Lillian, Lucile, Louella, Geneva, and Frances. They spend their last five minutes powdering their nose and putting on their zippers. Leona stares abstractedly out of the window thinking of a date of long ago; then she turns around and applies more lipstick and rouge. What Edna has on her mind is why they don’t pave all the roads espe- cially when the roads are muddy. Mr. Fox thinks Rose is the most kind-hearted girl of the Junior shebas. We all are wondering why Lillian was so glad her brother left her to the mercy of Robert at the community meeting. Why is it that it takes Lucile such a long time to find her zippers which she thinks are not to be found? Louella is noted for leaving someone like Mr. Fox stand out in the rain waiting for the key. Oh, darn it, there goes that two minute bell and all the girls grab their zippers. It is disobeying one of the laws of M. H. S. to put them on before the first bell rings. I 19 2 7 fage twenty-four
