Goldsmith—“Hello, is 1 liat you Miss Got PEKINIAN Senior Creed, -a E BELIEVE in the omnipotent faculty, rulers of the High School, senders of poor notices, and makers of history. We believe in the in-fallability of our omniscient and omnipresent principal; in the obedience to regulations and the granting of privileges. We believe in studying faithfully, three hours each day in school together with three hours at night; continuing five days each week; for a period of forty weeks. We believe in recognizing the true value of great and good poets of High School as this book will evidence; we believe in celebrating the anniversaries of all men of sacred and happy memory, in order to obtain a vacation. For a similar reason we believe in only nine months of school; a rest period of twenty minutes every half day, and a spring vacation. We believe the school should furnish theme pajier, pencils, ink and pens. We believe in such organizations as the Sons of Rest for the cure of hard work. We believe in a modern High School; in tea parties; hayrack and bobsled parties; for the promotion of friendship among students. We believe in women’s suffrage, superstition, portentious omens; in freedom of speech, Jake Graf and the Whisker Club. Amen. « lat • for tonight? Well, I’ll be right over (???).
