April 13, 1938 Sophomore Class Tipton High School Tipton, Indiana Dear Sophs: There's really very little we can say to you. You seem to know most of it already. They say it's humai - nature that all things must balance and after that year of being very inferior freshmen, well, sophomores usually make up for it. We must admit that there have been times when you have quite taken us off our feet. Accus- t.omed to respect and watching people get out of our way, it's a little disconcerting to see a Sophomore stand up and look us in the eye. Oh, well, we can't fool all of you all the time. You don't seem to be a class that needs any advice. Therefore we, the senior class, have decided to bequeath to you a few of our outstanding characteristics that have helped us reach the top fquite over and above our re gular willl. 1 We give you our privilege of having class meetings when ever you want them. On the days that your presi- dent has all of her geometry and can find nothing to do, just call a class meeting, go to Room 6, close the door and you can yell, scream, or gossip for 25 minutes. We've tried it and it's a most successful way of getting rid of spare moments. Another outstanding characteristic that we would like to bequeath to you is what has seemed all year to be the proverbial Senior habit of getting stuck in the mud out at the disposal plant respecially during performances of the operettal. We would also like to present you with the accepted Senior privilege of being late for class, with special em- phasis government class. We would feel flattered if you would accept our culinary talents. We find our tastiest dish to be pop-corn popped in the gym and especially suitable to munch during play practice. And last but not least, we give you all of our A's in citizenship. We'll wager that there won't be em ugh to go around the class once, but don't fight over them or you won't get any A's of your own. Smooth sailing for all of you and we do mean you. Love and Kisses, The Seniors.

CLASS OF '41 April I3, 1938 The Freshman Class - I I Tipton High School mi Tipton, Indiana Dear Freshies: It's really awfully hard for a Senior Class to think of something constructive to say to a group of Freshies. You're a bit too young to appreciate whatever we might be able to give you in the way of advice. Thinking the matter over seriously, there's only one really outstanding thing about you, yet. You've contributed only one important thing to the welfare of the world. And that's yourigreat ability to amuse the upperclassmen We can still think back to last September and roll on the floor with laughter. You came to us from Junior High-just as bewildered a bunch as it haslever been our luck to initiate. The first day after you succeeded in finding the Assembly, you came in the door and looked for a seat and as there weren't any in the back of the room, you stood up, rather than walk clear to the front. When a few obliging Seniors escorted you to a seat, the wan smile you gave us was proof of your shaking knees. Then it fell theduty of the Seniors to help you with your registration. Speaking of hard work, it was worse than one of Mr. Stemen's Physics tests. You weren't just sure where you were or why. We asked what course you were going to take. Maybe we were rushing things a little, because you hadn't the slightest idea. The old joke about a Freshie never knowing where he is certainly held true for your class. For two weeks after school started you would pop into Mr. Hiatt's Chemistry Lab and ask where the English room was? Our laughter didn't seem to make you angry. It only made the look on your faces a little more crest-fallen. And the poor teachers had a terrible time for the first few weeks trying to find anyone brave enough to raise his hand in answer to a question. Yes, indeed, you were a sorry bunch, but nine months of school seem to have sand-papered most of your eccentricities and polished those good points with which you are endowed. In fact, we might even go so far as to say you've definitely improved and now it's getting harder and harder to look over the Assembly and dis- tinguish you from an upperclassman. Well, Freshies, we congratulate you for whatever progress you have made along the road to higher learning, We wish you all kinds of luckf--soupy tests ,A grades, State Championships, and when you're Seniors, an Annual that goes to press on time.
