FOREWORD The Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-five present this “Zebra” as the result of combined effort. We claim for it no special literary merit, but we trust that into these pages have crept some of our high hopes for the future—the hope that the standards of the Junius Jordan High School will be maintained through all days to come, and that we, as its true sons and daughters, shall gloriously uphold the ideals which have ever been set before us. These are the things which we would have our readers see in this Memorial of our student days-

fwwmwmmmm rrMWMwmwmm®mw WMw The Faculty Escapade At last, the time for the great event had arrived. The 1925 Faculty of the Junius Jordan High School was to have its first reunion, and intended to celebrate by a pinochle party. So enthusiastic was everybody that neither Sea-brook nor rain could prevent their going. The Cross old Elder was to be there to prevent gambling, but he Heard that Miss Buchanan’s Chandler car was out of commission and decided not to go, commenting that she ought to Bey-er a better car. The Allens were late, Owens to the fact that they had to stop by the Johnson Drug Company to get some Stewart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. They assured the other guests that these pills were good for everything from Burns to toothache. In the course of the party a child screamed out and nearly broke up the meeting, and the embarrassed mother was forced to Patt-er-son to quiet him. When the noise was Dunnaway with, and all members of the sagacious faculty were sitting peacefully, playing the deep game of pinochle, Miss Medlock jumped up and ran to the window, screaming to her chauffeur, “Come out of the Car-mical and join the game.” Later, the game was interrupted by a slight Russell, and tired faces brightened perceptibly as a faint aroma of steaming Cornmesser and cabbage filled the room. The Baker then entered and served each guest with a lovely Martin pot-pie Anna egg that tasted as though the Hen-don laid it two weeks before. After the refreshments were served, Mr. Allen, in his usual genial manner, passed around the cheroots, which a few of the ladies declined. Determined not to be outdone by Mr. Allen’s generosity, the impetuous Mrs. Philbeck, with much ado, drew forth from her satchel a sack of gum-drops which she distributed with lavish hands. Hilarious merriment reigned supreme until, finally, as the Grey dawn was stealing over the tree-tops, everybody was startled to hear the Cox in the barnyard which crew’ thrice, proclaiming to all the world that a new day was born. Everybody repaired to his home, and in three hours all tongues were telling of the wonderful escapade of the pedagogues. REM BERT MOORE. Mf 'fMI MJMI
