THE CRIMSON AND Wlll'l'l'I could almost look down on the Seniors, but we mercffully spared them that humiliation. About June tirst a sudden revival ol' interest in the direction of education enabled a goodly numbcr to be trans- ferrdl to Senior Study llafll. The beginning of our Senior year was marked with sadness as well as joy, for during the smnmer Miss l+'rancisa Martinez, our hlrench and Spanish critic, had died. However, while regretting our loss, we were most happy to welcome Miss Alice Hill to the faculty. Being now the most important class in ilfilllli' lligh School, we took an active interest in school affairs, and llramatics Club, French Club and thc three societies were ably carried ou under senior leadership. Frances Mcllonough was unanimously re-elected senior presi- dent, a11d we congratulate her on her success in that office. W'th Helen Hamburger as president of Student Council, and Alice Bessie Cleveland as Editor-in-Chief ot' Crimson and Whitcl, we have truly given of our best to the school activitics. V This history would not be complete without speaking of our English lV teachers. HPhil Webster and Miss Greenblath carried us safely through Burke and midyears. To Miss Orma Harding and Miss Margaret McGuney go thc credit for our soul-stirring sonnets and our most excellent essays. VVe render them our hearty thanks. We are sorry that the other classes will not have the pleasure oi' having Miss Rice as senior critic. She has been most helpful, and we hope that Milne will be fortunate enough to secure a critic half as fine as Miss Rice. lly May having secured our announcements and pictures we began to realize that it was really almost over. Once again tlaggng interest was restored to more than usual vigor and at last we are ready for our diplomas. To our faculty we extend our appreciation for the co-operatiztn which they have given us. We have finished a four years' course: we are leaving our Alma Mater, and what the future may hold in store 'For us only 'Fimeff and the Class Prophets-can tell.

We bequeath the problem ot' Bessie Mclntosh sudden change from the tield of forestry to the field of ministry to anyone who is clever enough to solve it. We couldn't. Bertha Post's astounding dramatic ability to one who has already shown her marvelous technique, 'Virginia Ward. Alice Bessie Cleveland 's sense of humor to Billy Coulson. In conclusion we hereby establish and declare this to be our last will and testament, and to be executed as such. Witngsgetl by: OF GERTRUDE L. HALL EMMA K. JONES -.... 01?l. A SENIOR SCENE One bright and sunny day, a Mann named Jones cranked up his Cleveland Carr, and started out for a ride. Just as he reached the river Jordan, his car stopped. He had to Wade across the river in order to reach a garage at Rosboro. Whilel the car was being tixed, he went i11to a restaurant for something to eat. He was waited on by a girl who looked as tho she had tried to Dyer hair. He ordered some Hamburger steak, some Post-toasties, and a Mclntosh apple. The meal was fine. t'Jes' Schleick mother used to makef' he mur- mured, as he finished. But when he came to pay the bill, he felt he had been Gipp-ed. So he left the restaurant and found his ear all ready, and with a great Conktljin of the horn, he resumed his jour- ney. He went to the Woodward side of the village, where he saw sweet Williaiiis and bachelor Buttons growing under a Wliippltl tree. In spite of the fact that his tire had been punctured by a rusty Spike, he reached his destination on Allen street. He e11tered a house, and passing through the Hall, he went to the Garrett where he began to read the book of Nehemiah. While he was reading, he fell asleep, only to be awakened by the crowing of a CBjreWster. He then went downstairs again, and with Kirkman's soap he washed his hands, which were covered with a CVanjLaer of dust. The water was Colbert he used it just the same, for he was a CMcjHale and hearty fellow. A' B. C17 725 M. N., ,25
