STATISTICS HEREWITH ARE PRESENTED some statistics concern- ing the 57 members of the class of 1935, of which 27 are boys and 30 are girls. During the four years in which the school has educated for tried to educatej us, it has supplied us with 1881 pencils, or an average of 33 per student. Each pencil is 7.45 inches in length. These pencils, if laid end to end, would reach 1,167.79 feet, or approximately from the High School to the Legion headquarters. These pencils have a total weight of 23.51 pounds. If burned, the wood of these pencils would give enough heat to boil 3.08 pounds of water, making enough steam to run a 70 l-LP. steam engine for 1 minute and 30 seconds. With these pencils we have written about 4,816,214 words, which, if placed end to end, would reach 912.18 miles. This energy might have been used in writing 224 novels, 8 short stories, 20 essays, and 63 letters, including the affixing of our signatures thereto. The 29.39 cubic inches of rubber in the erasers of these pencils have erased 224,750 mistakes, amountingto 3,942.98 errors per pupil. These mistakes, placed end to end, would extend 3.55 miles. The school has supplied to each student an average of 3,924 sheets of tablet paper and 301.29 sheets of notebook paper, or a total of 223,273 sheets of tablet paper and 17,173 sheets of note- book paper. Piled, one upon the other, these sheets would reach a height of 74.72 feet. The pile would have a volume of 29.45 cubic feet and could be rolled into a ball having a diameter of 3.84 feet. The paper would cover an area of l3,549,202.64 square inches or .003 square miles. fThis does not include the 2,286.24 square inches of paper and the 1.19 pencils that the statistician used in figuring this data.J ' It has been estimated that if all the members of the class of '35 were placed end to end, they would form a line 323 feet, 3.5 inches long. The combined weight of all these students would tip the scales at 7,923 pounds I2 ounces. If their ages were placed end to end, we should have time to figure out the Einstein Theory and the Gold Standard. A circle 254.01 feet in diameter would be formed by the shoes of all the members of the class. The time which we have spent in gaining knowledge during the years of 193 1-1935 amounts to 5040 hours or 210 days of study UD. The total time spent by the entire class totals 287,200 hours or 32 years, 280 days, 4 hours, 33 minutes, and 36 seconds. It would require 82 hours for each student to take all the exams and quizzes, and the teachers would require SI and one-half hours to correct them. The average student in the class of '35 either has used 342.86 paper bags to carry lunches, or if he patronized the cafeteria, he has spent 5119 in satisfying his Cor herj appetite during four years. I-le has also spent S4.I6M for tickets to plays, operettas, football and basketball games, etc. He is 5 feet, 8.6 inches tall, weighs 139 pounds, .33 ounces, is 17M years old, and wears siie 7 shoe. By estimation, we find that the aver- age student traverses about 2.85 miles of' hall- ways in the school each day. Counting 180 days in a school year, each student walked 513 miles each yearior a total of 2,052 miles during the time he was in high school. The total mileage of the entire class amounts to 116,964 miles, or 4.70 times around the earth. ROEEE1' WALTBRS.
