G. M. P’S LAMBS We are thirty-six hearts that beat as one and thirty-six minds that run in the same channel of education. We have been told that we are the cream of the High School, and we know that we surpass all the other classes in conduct, Sh-Sh-Sh! Although we are still in sympathy with the freshest freshmen, we are glad to have got as far away from them and as close to the Sophomors as possible. Why should we want to get close to a Soph? If there wa$ ever a set of stiffer stiffs since the beginning, we pity them, and the closer we get the more apparent will become our pity. The Juniors are even more pitiable. The Seniors Oh! we could fall at their feet, and our grief and lamentation at their departing will be terrible. We have placed them as our standard, and in the year 1917 we hope that we shall have climbed to the heights of honor and glory which they have now attained. Smile not, O lofty Seniors, at our poor attempt to show our appreciation. Our English is poor, and our words ill chosen, but con- sider the sincerity of our words and the narrow range of our knowledge. We are gradually leaving the stick horse of former days, and climbing to the back of a wild donkey. After this it will be easy—with a great deal of work and a great loss of sleep—to climb to the steering wheel and sail forth in to the wide world we are to paint red. A. HISTORY OF “B” FISH CLASS After Xmas twenty-nine pupils came from the grammar school. There were twenty-three pupils already in the grade. The two classes were divided in order that the teachers might render the pupils more service. The divisions were called the Greens and Blues. The Greens are the ones that came from grammar school. The Blues are the ones that have been in the grade before. A short time passed before a class meeting was held. Walter Ford was made President o-f the class; Lang- land Bock, Vice President; Ivy Mae Smith, Secretary and Treasurer. Class colors were agreed upon as Gold and White. The White Rose was made the class flow- er. The A and B sections of the Fresh- men unanimously voted Bessie Beeler class beauty. Mr. Dyess organized a base ball team among the boys of both A and B divisions.
