THE SYLLABUS ♦ -»--------------------------------- (Elass J3nrm Conquering now, and still to conquer Obstacles that block our way. To prepare for future battles We must win the ones today. May our eyes turn ever upward To the height of our desire. May we never turn them backward Never quench the inner fire. May we ever fight our battles With the zest we do today. May each year come around to find us Farther on the winning way. Every battle lost, if gamely, Is in truth a battle won; May we say, “We’ve done our noblest,” At each setting of the sun. May we through life stand steadfastly, Battle on, though bruised and sore, Ever strive to live up to the ideals Of our class, and more. 22

THE S Y L L ABUS A Sraiirfuj of Spring One act. Time—1927 1st Scene. Upper assembly, the first fifteen minutes on a very warm afternoon. Mr. Moore at teacher's desk. Seniors in usual places. Spring fever had struck many of them as evidenced by vacant seats. Lenora—May I speak to Dale. Mr. Moore—(Nods his head and smiles.) Lenora (to Dale)—I’ve got my car here today. What do you say we play hookey. We can get out when the bell rings for general assembly. You will won’t you? Dale—You’re on. I’ve stood this about as long as I can. Who else shall we get— Fetty and Eva ? Lenora—You ask them. Dale—Oh write a note to them. Moore will think its funny if I talk to both of them. Lenora—All right. Lenora then inscribes a voluminous note to Petty and also to Eva. Instantly they accept. Then the one o’clock bell rings. They make a hasty exit out the front door instead of going to the assembly. Petty (drawing a long breath)—So far so good. Where do we go from here? Eva—What’s the diff. Anywhere but here suits me. Lenora—Let’s go to Atlanta. Dale—Ah no your fellow lives there. Let’s go up town then we will decide. 2nd Scene. Mr. Bradley’s office. Mr. Kingsolver, very irate, talking to Mr. Bradley. Mr. Kingsolver. Four gone from my assembly. Looks suspicious to me. Mr. Bradley—Who are they. Mr. Kingsolver—Lenora and Dale, Eva and Kenneth. Suppose I go up town and look for them. Mr. Bradley—Pretty good idea. Better go now more chance of finding them. 3rd Scene. On Main street. Mr. Kingsolver has just seen the culprits. Mr. Kingsolver. Well, here you are. What in the world do you mean by this. Don’t you know by this time you can’t put anything over on us. Dale—Oh what’s it to you. We admit it. Don’t preach all day. Mr. Kingsolver. All right, be careful now or I’ll take some off your grade too. Come on let’s be getting back. Then you’ll get taken down some. The four crushed and downtrodden students follow him slowly. Curtain. 24
