Now of course, there were many other little Rays and Dovies who made their beginning at the very same time and m the very same room but of the many who started only these remained to tell the sad story-but should l say sad ?el think not. During the first six or seven years of school life there may have been several sad episodes. for this, you see, was before Mr. Crampton had turned over to the School State that old leather strap.

The Sophomore year was perhaps a little gayer than the one preceding it because then we could fight with the seniors, and fight we did. Our Junior year was tipeppier yet . It seemed so nice to hear Freshies say they were going to play fco ball just like Roy and Melvin. Then we shocked the seniors by making the Junior-Senior party a really truly dance.
