An Up-to-Date Diagnosis of a Junior A lunior is a victim of a mysterious mental disease most prevalent among young people of the eleventh grade. The first symptoms ap- pear about the time the victim is finishing his tenth year of school. The patient begins to feel swell headed and assumes the idea that freshmen are among the lower forms of life Cwhich is truel. As the disease progresses, an utter disregard for school work becomes quite noticeable, and if not checked, may hamper the victim's educational career. Around April the disease is at its worst stage. The poor creature wanders around looking at the op- posite sex with a semi-starved look in his eye which is accompanied by a condition referred to as drooling. lf the casualty passes this stage safely he will recover, but in such a weakened condition that he will, nine times out of ten, acquire another and even worse disease known as senioritis . --LUTHER l. KATINOS, '45. High School Diseases Freshmenitisi-A disease which seriously affects persons in their ninth year of schooling. The symptomsla quick turning of one's natural color to a dull green when looked upon by a teacherg a continual confusion of directions which invariably causes one to go up downstairs and down upstairs g in gen- eral, someone to be pitted. Sophomorosis-A malady which has twc distinct effects: ill complete stupidity: Q27 an unbelievable awkwardness. One can easily recognize a victim by his simple look and his apparent confused state of mind. luniorosisi'-1A disease attacking that specie of humanity possessing distinct quali- ties of self-assurance, stability, initiative, and intelligence, in short, one with a knack for doing all things right. Seniorphobia1A serious disease, indeed, with unmistakable symptoms: Cll an air of superiority: C23 an unshakable belief that the victim has reached an infallible stage, one in which the acquiring of more knowledge is impossible. 'Scientific survey has proved that junior- osis is the foundation of any successful enter- prise. -MARIE MELAHO, '45.
