THE SEA BREEZE 6 SENIORS This was a bright world until we became Seniors, but now, after we have reached the stage when we should be noted for our outstanding intelligence, our outstanding ability, Cdue to our past good work, of coursel we are the topic of conversation in all of the other classes--about our laziness. When we were Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors we heard about how lazy the Seniors were, , and agreed, certainly. We do not agree to that statement about this particular class, however. As fifth period, which is our English period, arrives, we enter the room only to be told that we are lazy and that the Sen- iors have no more right to this attribute than anyone else in the school. Practically the same words come from the history teacher the minute that we arrive in her class. How can the teachers set- tle a serious problem like that so quickly? CBy the way, the lat- ter would forgive us if we would wait until May, and we're quite sure that the former wouldn't think so badly of us if we wouldn't be lazy until the middle of June.D We may be idle, inactive, in- dolent and slothful, but the word lazy shouldn't be used--that is not a respectful name for a Senior. The reason for our inactive- ness is because we aren't supposed to do so much work or is that just what WE think? In Mr. Wood's Office Practice Class he speaks very sharply if anyone carries on even the smallest of conversations, and before he is ready to conduct the class, mind you, NYou students get busy! Just because you're Seniors doesn't give you a special permission to talk.W Imagine, someone not wanting to hear a Senior talkt Then we enter Miss Higgins' American History Class, and she goes on a Nsit-downn strike because we don't talk enough. No wonder a Senior doesn't know what to doll No doubt the Sennors were lazy last year, the year before, and in fact all of the years before that. If we should hear next year, or any year to come, that the Seniors were the laziest group of the students in the school building, there would be no question about it, but our class, lazy?- OH! NO! M. J . '1.1 Q c,AT1o,NA1i gcgqinmvcn Mr. Webster calls a vocation a work. This is not a very spe- cific definition. But you ask, what is it then? It is a non-pro- fessional trade. 'Under this comes the carpenter, painter, grocer, clerk, etcg all of which are very important today. The vocational training given us here in Thomaston High School is limited. We have a Commercial Course which gives us bookkeeping,
