JUNIOR JINGLES The Juniors have each done something this year Of which we think you ought to hear: As for our officers, John, Pete, and Gin, They are the three who make things spin. At acting our class is not a dub, For eight are in the Dramatic Club. Betty and Jane are leading ladies fair; They sang gaily on and ne ' er forgot the air. In football come Henry and Frank, sans fear, While Johnny will pilot the team next year. From hockey both Marian and Jean With purple N. S. ' s now are seen. On the basketball team are Bill and Joe, And Bill will be Captain next year, you know. Elsie and Maxine are the students of the class, While in art, Dimples all others does surpass. Knox and Chevy in Math are bright, And Edmund edits the Purple and White. Do and Louise are our dancing pair, For they have proven their talents rare. Our brains are dull, now the fountain pen sticks, But here ' s good luck to our Twenty-Six! 18

Of course our age has helped us, but we are really thinking more about what will be required of us next year. One thing of seemingly minor importance is better order in our class meetings. If we have learned to make good use of our time this year, we will be able to make better progress in the future. We have learned to handle money and keep accounts well. Members of this class have been en- trusted with the Red Cross Funds and also the Mirror subscriptions. Then, too, we have developed many athletes, so the standard of the School need not be lowered when we are without the support of the Seniors. It is a well known fact that if a house is built on a firm foundation, it can weather many storms. The Juniors have tried to work in a way this year that they will be able to lead the School worthily in 1926. Who ' s Who in 1950 J.

MY DREAM Last night I had the queerest dream. I dreamt that I was walking in a beauti- ful garden. A big gray wall protected it and seemed to signify F. B. The only opening that I could see at first was a gate, a gate leading to a new world, remind- ing me of the new ideas of J. P. Next came a hedge enclosing the flower-beds; it seemed to hide them within itself just as the thoughts of K. B. are hidden within him.. A very artistic statue stood in the midst of the flower-beds. It represented J. S. The little flower-beds also signified people. The one of strong tulips had faces like M. A. ' s. E. W. ' s black curls seemed to hang from the sweet peas, V. H. smiled brightly from the tiger-lilies, while D. R. ' s dark ringlets surrounded the snap-dragon ' s heads. Outside of the hedge was a pool which was so clear it seemed to reflect things as they ' are; it reminded me of outspoken J. D. A pretty rose-bush stood behind the pool and modest B. K. looked forth from it. There was a sun-dial at one side, that could always be depended on, like J. M. On the other side of the pool ran a gurgling brook in and out among some trees. This brook brought M. L. to my memory. The roots of the big oak, on the far side of the brook, were just huge. They seemed to go right down to the depths of the earth, always seeking to get deeper like L. F. There was a pine there, too. It was tall and green like C. M. Then came an elm, strong and sturdy, that reminded me of H. S. A towering birch with several pieces of papery bark seemed to signify E. H. A little bench beneath the trees looked very inviting, so I went and sat down. It was used to being sat on, like P. H. As I was resting, a cute little poodle came down the path. It was very playful and in its bark seemed to say, Tee! Hee! I am D. L. I was contemplating as to the way out when I caught sight of an exit, which was an old turn-stile. The wind was keeping it forever turning as knowledge keeps at B. N. I decided to rest in this exquisite spot a little longer when — oh dear! My alarm clock went off! 20
