good? Ear' the alarm at 5:50 and rise to take a Girls' Many of the Soph girls earned hiking letters. ended up the first two years by a gift to Mr. Leaguelskov It seems me Mathews who guided us through the worst two years, But the Junior year was almost as bad, or rings, no memories? Good old English class when George Breten were them and -gave a speech. It seems that the rage has extended into this year when Bob'Zumwslt doned them one day, But I think tkis is partly justifiable since it has been recorded that Shakespeare himself were them in one ear, Maybe they were trying to be a chip off the old block? English has been mentioned but have we forgotten about the numerous sunflowers we presented Miss Kelsey after a field day? But we repented and after the Junior play gave Misses Kelsey, Patterson and Feix each a gift. Did you ever notice the scenery on the stage? Somehow it get around that the Juniors bought half the stage curtain but it was only half of the scenery. Good old nights of play practice and broken fountains and mys- terious people running down the fire escape when Miss Pat- terson was in the building alone. And the day the Girls' League almost decided to give a candy sale at the Junior Play, but be it known that Cleo Leonard beat them by one minute to get Mr. Waller's permission. We topped off the Junior Play with a party at the Schlotthauer apartments and'it seems a vase was' topped off-breaking it in the cen- ter. Sergeant-at-arms. Yes, Gordon Graupner reformed during class meetings when he get this important job. During this year the memorable Priest River rage occured and many a visit was exchanged. Most of the Junior girls forget about the penny collection of the Girls' League-and failed to bring forth their coppers. Yet we still can't remember one thing odd about Prom except the decorating was finished about 6 e'clock of the same evening. Oh, yes the place cards were put on the table in such a rush that there was only one boy at one table, and all boys at an other. Some of the students had no place cards at all, but the com ittce still maintain it was the student's fault, B ut never forget the day the Seniors nSnuckVand Junior colors adorned every class room door and a piece of the Prom rainbow decorated the stage curtain. The precious signs posted on trees and the garage roof, but we repented and removed them all when Mr. Waller requested it, U

So this year Mr. Waller is still requesting things of us and never should anyone forget the time he requested us to drop all the discussion about student body president, Even though there was a majority of Seniors on the council the honor was bestowed upon a Junior: our eoubtesyiiuin fallible. H ow 'lim Nelson used to wipe up the upper hall floor. Did you ever see Frances Smith keep a straight face for three minutes and not talk? It almost happened when the play pictures were taken. And tardiness? I know Eli zona Roidt and Wayne Fox won't forget hor belated entrance, Remember the ticket sales contest? I believe we beat the Freshby two or three tickets to the Revue and von the 35. prize. Revue recalls UI have the strangest fee1ing.n MY CREED To live as gently as I cang To be, no matter where, a mang To take what comes of good or ill And cling to faith and honor stillg To do my best, and let that stand The record of my brain and handg And then, should failure come to me Still work and hope for victory. To have no secret place wherein I stoop unseen to shame or sing To be the same when I'm alone As when my every deed is knowng To live undaunted, unafraid Of any step that I have madeg To be without pretense or sham Exactly what men think I am. To leave some simple mark behind To keep my having lived in mindg If enmity to aught I show, ' To be an honest, generous foe, To play my little part, nor whine That greater honors are not mine. This, I believe, is all I need For my philosophy and creed. Edgar A, Guest Q.
