ven the Sponsors ol Honorable sponsors of the Senior class-yes, we admit it, but everyone, not even excepting them, has his foibles. For instance- Mr. Bounous, hobby is girls, preferably, of course, the North High girls. Four times he has charmed foreign damsels this cute little mustache playing no small partj when he toured their countries. Theyid be mighty disappointed now because the mustache is no more-Mr. Bounous has switched to Burma Shave. Mr. Moore is another one of those heartbreakers. We only hope he has as hard a time getting a girl to say yes as four Hi-Y members did persuading him to take them to the Hi-Y convention. And another thing we hope she does is to discover his middle name and publish it so that we won't be left forever wondering whether itls Oscar, Orlando, or Oswald. And now we have discovered Miss Luddy's secret for always appearing fresh and energetic -it's strawberry preserves and crackers concealed in her locker. CW'hat's her combination?j One day, perhaps after such refreshments, she merrily danced off the table in gym as she was illustrating a step in rhythm to her class. Ka-thud! One girl kindly remarked that she did look graceful--as possible. Puzzle: What was the difference in the weights of the Redskins before and after Field Day? Solution: Ask Mr. Dotzour-his hobby is guessing weights. Assembly speakers, teachers, students-none escape: all are flattered or embarrassed by his miscalculations. It has gone so far that Mrs. Dotzour isn't even jealous when she sees him gazing raptly at some beautiful maiden- she knows he's just guessing her weight.

The End oi the Road Days of rush and flurry for Seniors are over. We've Hnished our three years, we have earned our right of graduation. First there was the thrill of all the Senior activities-Senior party, Senior play, Field Day, and the Senior banquet. Then came the excitement of the last few weeks-Senior meeting, debates on graduation clothes, buying rings, pins, cards, and announcements. Now the wild scramble has lessened and we look thoughtfully to the culmination- commencement. The commencement sermon was delivered by the Rev. Paul Womeldorf, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church. One song, The Lord Bless You and Keep You,', a farewell anthem with sevenfold amens, was given by the chorus directed by Miss Ina Hyde. To the chorus, too, composed of the combined Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and directed by Miss Isla Davis, we owe our appreciation for music commencement night, May 28. They sang the following numbers: Galway Piper,', an Irish folk song, I-Ie's Gone Away, a Southern mountain song, and Summer Night, by Otto Miessner. Simple as their musical program may seem to us, it was preceded by hours and weeks of loyal practice. And as we began the painful procession across the stage, probably more than just word gratitude arose in our hearts for the strengthening i'Priest's March from the orchestra. After the preliminary speeches by Prin. I.. W. Brooks, Supt. L. W. Mayberry. and H. B. McKibbin, president of the Board of Education, our commencement speaker, Pres. A. Linscheid of East Central Teachers' College, Ada, Okla., addressed us. For our successful journey, we express our thanks to our principal, L. W. Brooks. With his firm, kind leadership he has won the affectionate loyalty of the Redskins. He seems almost in- dispensable to us who look to him as leader in enthusiasm, school spirit, and every-day perseverance. FIRST Row Inlirllz' Maye Swarlzr Proctor 1, 2, Art Club 2, 3.

History Secondary education is celebrating its tercentenary this year. Looking back over its history one can see many important changes that have come :about-in students, subjects, and classes. If a student of the Boston Latin School, founded in 1635, could visit our high school, he would certainly feel that he had been born 300 years too soon. Our high school of today was not a sudden development, it has been a slow evolution, resulting in our modern co-educational institutions. The girls have much to be thankful for, for the Hrst school was for boys only.', Latin,Greek, mathematics, English, and other academic subjects were the only courses allowed in those first schools. Home mechanics, economics, or commercial designing would have been of little meaning to early Bostonians. O 1311 FIFTH Row Calbryn Lee Wallc1'. Dorollay Elizabrlb Walkins. Lois Alena Wallzins.

Schools Wichita High School provides an interesting story in its sixty-year struggle, depicting the very foundation of our high school system today. To compile the history of the Wichita High School for the national contest, :I team, sponsored by Miss Elizabeth Hodgson and Miss Jessica Smith, :md composed of Fay Allen, Helen Wagy, Olive Sayles, Philda Scott, Margaret Doniphant, and Ralph West, was organized. Contrast the commencement exercises for 1935 in which more than 800 students will take part, with the first class of 1879, with its four graduates. Yet the affair was of much greater importance to them. Courage and effort have been the cornerstones of our high school system. W'e are but one portion of the building, which is destined to rise higher. Our small part will be manifested in a greater effect in days to come.
