22 Paxton High School Reflector teach again) can ever take the place of Paxton High School. I am going to try very hard to come hack for graduation. If there is a strike, I'll come if I have to walk! (History classes! there's an example of, ”stick-to-it-ive-ness!”) PEDAGOGUE BREAKS SPEED RECORD! To the graduating class, I send congratulations and best wishes for future success, and to you all, the best luck and every good wish. Most sincerely, (PROP.) DOROTHY EMILY DAVIS. P. S.

There little Fresh don’t cry! They have broken your head 1 know; And beneath the cold clippers, You've been stuck for hours. But childish troubles will soon pass by— There, little Fresh don’t cry! There little Fresh don't cry! They have stolen your books, f know; And they’ve told you. What you must do. But you’ll be a Sophomore by and by— There little Fresh don’t cry! There little Fresh don’t cry! They have stolen your girl, I know; At the annual feed Where all will be, but you. But when exams’ arrive, the brutes will sigh— There little Fresh don’t cry!

Paxton High School Reflector 21 j lirrcny letter (3frilul Sains, (Our Jfnrmer papular (Teacher of “History Chicago, 111., May Day, 1920. My dear Catharine and Dean: In response to your request, asking me to write a “funny letter for the Reflector, I might begin, perhaps, by landing some Democratic candidate for tne Presidency. That, of course, would be sheer BUNK! (I can see Dean's hair rising in indignation.) I may add, however, that that is a PERSONAL OPINION. How I should enjoy being back with my history classes—particularly, at this time—when our country is in such a critical state! We are passing thru one of the greatest eras of American history, and it is up to each one of us, as American citizens, to keep himself well-informed, by reading the daily papers and current magazines. Discuss the affairs of the day, at home with your parents, and at school with your instructors. Listen to the opinions of others; read some more, and then form your own individual opinions. It is only by so doing, that we can promote true “Americanism,” hope to better conditions, and to progress. In after years, 1 am sure that my pedogogical ghost shall be seen flitting about the history room, calling out those sentiments to those who enter, for 1 believe in them so firmly. To those who hearken, all shall be well—to those who do not THE WRATH OF THE GODS shall surely fall upon their heads! I suppose you would like to know what 1 am doing. As my mother is still in the hospital, I am literally, monarch of all I survey. and am busy keeping house for my family—yea even to cooking! So far, there have been no disastrous results (to the family—not to the cooking!) As a side line. I am running a private, “Getting Fat” contest, against Annette Donnelly and Dr. Evans. Every time I read that one of their patients has lost a pound, ! try to gain one. So-far, I have about i 1-10 lbs. to my credit; so you see. you would hardly knew me. These lovely spring days take me back to Paxton and last spring, wha; a treat it was to be in the country! (I finally did learn the difference between a disc plough and a harrow.) The Ancient History hike, the weeny roasts, the trips to the woods, (1 mean, “timber ) for violets, with the little grey squirrels chattering overhead, the rides down the long country roads with the smell of newly ploughed fields, in the air. are things never to be forgotten. Yen are fortunate in knowing such real pleasures. I am glad to have this opportunity, also, to tell you all how much 1 appreciated the farewell exercises, given for me, as my heart was too full to do so, at that time. It is something that I shall remember all of my life. My classes and my students meant much to me, and I consider it a privilege to have worked with as fine a man as Mr. Bainum. No other school, (if I should
