May Spring has arrove and Lize and I are quite happy. YVe got to school one noon and saw a lot of arms and legs piled up a big heap. Of course Lize and I had to find out what it was about. So we got Evelyn Morton cause she always knows every- thing that is happening. She told us to take 'em apart so Lize and I climbed up on that pile of boys and started throwing 'em off. IVe threw Harry Leeper, John Cock- rell, Patil Stout, Joe Miskell, Benny Stiegler, and ever so many off. IVhen we got to the bottom there was poor little VVilhur DeVVeese-minus his knickers. VVell after that dreadful shock I told Lize we'd go to the -Iunior Prom. Lize and Bill Harley gave a Tarzan of the Apes dance until Lize balked on swinging from rafter to rafter. Miss Furst said they owed the success of the Junior Prom to Lize and I. IVhich made Lize feel so good that she bought me a chocolate sundae-thereby prov- ing it pays to spread the slush. Miss Harvey invited Lize and I to the Quill and Scroll Club banquet. She said she thought it would give it prestige if we were there. So Lize and I went and had a lot of fun even if we did have to wait until Norma Kline started eating so we'd know what fork to use. Here it is not -Iune yet, and lvliss Reynard and lWiss Van Fleit getting ahead of the time. I guess their diamonds are both nice, but bliss Reynard has a Cord along with hers. Jerome Thinnes really ought to be more careful about cranking Fords- they're so flightyl Really, it's shocking to hear the track team tell of their experiences at Indianapolis. Lize and I knew they had taking ways, but never realized they used them so efficiently. f une Lize and I went to school Senior day dressed like little girls. Indeed Mr. North- rop and lVIiss Reynard said we looked too young to be graduating. So Lize put her cap and gown on and they changed their minds right away. Mrs. Clark said she'd have no one to take care of the 316 while she was down at the office getting Junior Scott expelled. And Lize just broke down when she saw Bronson Kowalczyk. But just then Jules Dalton came along and asked her to go to Commencement Dance so Lize cheered right up and bought a lollypop. Thereby proving that it pays to be sentimental over Bronson. VVell, Lize and I dressed all up for Senior day but still they wouldn't award us any medals or pins. Lize said she didn,t care much, though, because she was the only one in the class that had her cards engraved. Today was Lize,s and my last day in the library. YVe both said we were all the better off for having had Miss Arnold and Miss McKee-han as instructors-I mean detriments in our path of conversation. Page 108

Hot Shots of Class of IQBO YVanna shake the hand that shook the hand? and up comes Jules Dalton -the boy that prefers 'em good-looking. He's the star reporter on the Northerner, and that's straight goods. Jules is searching for a girl who enjoys the same things he enjoys-so all applicants interview him for particulars. Besides that-he has a tendency to comfort people in distress-just as all basketball and track stars do. ,lack Deeley is a very pensive boy with a large, very large, imagination. Just imagine the Redskins galloping over that hillil' and so far into the night. Pool' old ,lack is hooked good. He has to go down on Tennessee Avenue every night to see the ball and chain. YVell, lost three pounds playing tennis with that new racket of mine-.',-And up barrels .lane Korn. She slams on the brakes and Henry A. Korn loses a pound of rubber off the tires on the Ford. .lane seems especially fond of C. C. boys-Cal and Don are the most important from what we can gather. Although the University of Michigan holds attractions for her. ,lane has the best time worrying-how she looks, about her lessons, her dates, and a thousand and one other things,-everyone will agree that she is one peach of a girl. Oh manlu Joe Miskell comes barreling down the line falling all over his feet per usual. He, like Brendel, is rushing to see that Ublondyn. Joe is a cheerful fellow, in school and out, always singing and acting crazy-you become rather anxious over his actions-hard to tell whether he's really crazy or not. Joe was a big star in ath- letics, and you should have seen him preside over Student Council. As president, he became dignified for a change. But we'll have to quit panning Joe and turn him over to Lucie. XVhenever you hear anyone singing, you're almost certain it's 'lane Emrick- for she sings all the time and besides that she's the only girl in North Side that knows all the words to all the songs. Then, too, she's our Uitn girl. But herels the secret- whenever anyone mentions the name 'KGeorge ,-well, you should just watch the effect. And, as Droop says, she dances better than any other girl he knows. He has really a rather dignified carriage, but as soon as you take a look at his eyes you see a merry twinkle. Chester Gerig graduated in February and takes flying tiips to Detroit, which leaves poor Margaret all by herself until he returns. Chet really must love nature, for in Mr. Dickinson's classes all he did was just sit and stare out of the window. But all in all he's a good egg and North Side will miss him. Dick Baird, Finicky Francis , the most gallant fellow that ever entered the portals of North Side. Dick possesses a romantic soul-And every moonlight night you can End Dick perched on the river bank with his soul yearning out over the moonlit water. His poetic instinct permits him to record his feelings on these most auspicious moments. Because she graduated in February is no sign that she forgot about her old friends. Mary was one of those girls who fell for Glenn Brendel when he went over so big last spring. 'Course time changes everything and now we hear she's wearing a fraternity pin whose owner is a school teacher. Seems as if she's in for a heavy line of education. YVe might suggest a post-grad course. Page I I0
