But the finest praise goes to the cadets. With a lot of extra training packed into the 'laslt week they all developed a high degree of efficiency by inspection day. Any cadet should return his uniform feeling proud of having done such a fine job and looking forward to the next inspection. The cadet corps would also like to show its gratitude to Mr. Yates, Mr. Seltzer, and Mr. Baker, for their responsibilities in running the corps during this past year. H ll ll What A Life by Lida Klenovec X-A The guests have left, The clock struck one, And here I am, No homework done. Now I must do My math and my litp, And than get out, My hair dresser's kit. My eyes are so tired I can hardly seeg And that blouse to press! Oh, goodness me! I fall fast asleep, Soon's I shut one eyeg It couldn't wake me , If a truck rolled by. Tomorrow, at school, I'll continue my strifeg Likely detentionsg Oh, what a life! ll I I!
