1940-Trojanette-1941 CLASS GRUMBLE GRUMBLE I GRUMBLE I GRUMBLE I THAT IS PRACTI- CALLY ALL I'vE HEARD OR DONE FOR THE YEAR. NOW FOLKS, IIM NOT AT ALL INCLINED TO GRUMBLE, AL- THOUGH I CAN DO MY SHARE WHEN IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING MY GRUM- BLINGS ON PAPER, WELL, THAT CALLS FOR MORE GRUM- BLING. WHAT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND IS, WHY SHOULD I OUT OF A CLASS OF TWENTY-FIVE, BE CHOSEN TO DO THE GR MBLING? BUT I GUESS NO ONE ELSE WANTED IT, SO HERE I AM WITH A FEW OF THE COMPLAINTS OF MY FELLOW-CLASSMATES. MR. NEFF, WHO WAS OUR HISTORY TEACHER, HAD AN INEXHAUSTIBLE KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT AFFAIRS. HE WOULD OFTEN TALK A WHOLE PERIOD AT A TIME ABOUT THE WORLDIS PRESENT CONDITION, AND WHEN TEST DAY CAME, HE EXPECTED US TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS HE ASKED ABOUT THE CHAPTERQ CAN YOU BEAT THAT? GLEN TREESH CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY HE COULDN'T TAKE THE TOPS OFF THE DESKS IN ENGLISH CLASS. NOT ONLY WAS THIS MORE COMFORTABLE, BUT ALSO, MUCH SAFER, BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD BE IN A BET- TER POSITION TO DODGE A SLAP, ERASER, CHALK, OR WHAT-NOT. AND THIS NEW CITIZENSHIP SYSTEM THEY RE- CENTLY ADOPTED IS SIMPLY HORRIBLEZ WHY, NOW THEY HAVE IT SO THAT YOU CAN'T SIT ON YOUR DESKS, YOU CAN'T CHEW GUM, OR EAT CANDY, ITHEY PRACTICALLY STARVE US, AND YOU HAVE TO GO IN AND OUT CERTAIN DOORSQ NOW, THOSE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY NEW RULES, AND THE PUNISHMENT FOR THESE LITTLE MIS- DEAMENORS IS EITHER THE TWENTY MARKS OEDUCTED FROM YOUR GITIZENSHIP GRADE OR ELSE A NICE LIT- TLE TREK TO THE ASSEMBLY.

1940-Troj anette-1941 WHEN WE SENIORS FIRST RECEIVED OUR NAMECARDS, PICTURES, ETC, ALL THAT COULD BE HEARD FROM JUNI- ORS, SOPH, ERESHIES, AND ON DOWN WAS, DOH: LET ME SEE YOUR PICTURES,H NOHQ AREN'T THEY PRETTY' HLET ME SEE YOUR NAMECARDS, MAY I HAVE ONE?n WHERE'S YOUR MEMORY BOOK? MAY I WRITE IN IT? WHEN DO YOU GET YOUR INVITATIONS? HAT WILL THEY BE LIKE? I DO WISH PEOPLE WOULDN'T BE SO INQUISI- TIVES IT MUST BE OUT OF STYLE FOR PEOPLE TO TEND TO THEIR OWN BUSINESS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE 'TEACHERS WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO COULD GIVE MARKS, BUT DURING THE LAST FEW WEEKS, A CERTAIN TEACHER HAS BEEN HAVING A GROUP OF JUNIOR GIRLS HELP HIM. H RE WE WERE ALL SET ON GOING TO THE REG- IONAL, A D THE BOYS WERE DEEEATED BY ETNA GREEN, ALL BECAUSE FERN DIDN'T HAVE HIS MAGIC CHARM IN HIS LEFT SHOE. ' ELDON BEER HSASSESN THE TEACHERS MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE I KNOW. IN CLASS HE CAN THINK OF THE MOST IRRATIONAL QUESTIONS OR HE CAN MAKE THE FUN- NIEST REMARKS I EVER HEARD. 3UT IF I WOULD TRY ANYTHING LIKE THAT, I WOULD BE SENT TO THE AS- SEMBLY IN A HURRY. ,MR. HIATT IS A MARVELOUS TEACHER AND ALL OF THAT, BUT HE IS TOO LENIENT IN GIVINS MARKS. I DON'T KNOW HOW HE KNEW AT EXACTLY WHAT TIME WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FEW KIND-OF-CONFIDENTIAL-4 LIKE WORDS TO OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBOR, BUT ANYHOW, THATS THE REASON SO MANY SEATS WERE CHANGED IN BOOKKEEPING CLASS.' BUT WE CAN'T GRUMBLE EOR MR. HIATT, BECAUSE HE PROBABLY DOES HIS WMI ORUM- BLING. I SUPPOSE YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THE CLASS SHOULDN'T HAVE CHOSEN ME TO GIVE THIS GRUM- BLE BUT THEY ASKED FOR IT, AND IT'S O.K. WITH ME, BARBARA TRASTER
