QJHCOXVENSBORAN B l V 1 CLASS GRUMBLER ' Z For in the life of all Some rain must fall. O said Confucius, or was it Thackery? No matter, as it has poured and fallen in torrents into the curriculu life of the class of '27, Paus- ing on the threshold of the future, we heave a great sigh of relief as we look backward over the four long tedious years that it has been our misfortune to spend in this gloomy isolated spot. They are finished, gone, never-to-be-recalled. Allah be praised! With a look of pious resignation on our faces, for the last time, With- out reluctancy, we step forward at the mention of our name on the roll call, to receive the sheepskin. With a look of pretended seriousness and sadness streaked across our features, we shed what is supposed to be a silent tear, contriving though for it to be seen so everyone can observe how deeply we regret to leave the scene of so many happy memories and glad times. The faculty came forward with that blustery air, attempt- ing to convince fond parents how sincerely they loved their offspring and what a pleasure indeed, it was to teach them for the brief time pos- sible. Q - - X - Yea, verily, the task is finished. The burdensome duty is completed. It's all over now and we deserve an unlimited amount of praise and credit for the marvelous amount of bravery and fortitude with which we have withstood the humiliations heaped upon by the faculty. Day in and day out for four years, during not seven, but eight, sometimes even nine or ten long dreary periods, they have subjected us to every in- dignity that their ingenious and clever minds could conceive. They have mocked us, scoured us, laughed at us, punished us for petty of- fenses, scorned us, afflicted us with the utmost contempt, raked us hither and thither over the coals, in short have done everything in their power to make us feel the most miserable and despicable of persons in the universe. Yet, We have borne it all, courageously, with our heads held high and Wanly smiled even when in great pain during our trials and tribulations. . They have actually made us wait in line at the lunch room and be- lieve it or not, we have to carry our own trays to the tables. A commit- tee should be appointed-say of Miss Moore, Miss Thomas and Miss Mobberly-to wait daily at the end of the line and relieve Seniors of this menial task. Another matter of which I think it is my duty of speak is that of having the Board of Education provide a smoking room for the Senior boys and those Senior girls too, of course, who wish to indulge. Adjoin- ing this a lounging room for all Seniors should be erected. Here a strictly up-to-date soda fountain and sandwich counter might be in- stalled. This would be very convenient as the Seniors whenever the mood strikes them could stroll in and procure gratis refreshments. Here they would be free from the silly Freshmen, the snooty Sophomores and the prattling Juniors. Provide also here the latest novels by such au- thors as Elinor Glyn, Sherwood Anderson, Sinclair Lewis and others of -the younger intelligensia generation. This would undoubtedly meet with the approval of one august member of the faculty, Mr. Sam Morton, whose one cry for all occasions is More books, books, ibooks!! Of course this is only a dream, but here's hoping the Senior classes that are l .1 lk i Page Eighty-six
