We rushed merrily through the year with few worries except semester exams and the other minor troubles of the average Freshman. As Sophomores, we added a few troubles to our list. First of all, it was our aim to set a good example for the Freshmen whose elders we were. However, this soon passed, and the year passed as happily as the previous one. Then we came to our Junior year. We still enjoyed fun so we elected Woodrow Dillon president so that we would be sure to get it. Woodrow immediately closed the deal by offering us each a lollypop from Bill’s Cafe for a nickel. We always thought Woody was generous and this confirmed the idea. To help Woody we elected Philip Pyle vice-president, and Elizabeth Tomlinson secretary. During this year, we were faced with the need of money. To remedy this lack we had stands at all the football games and some of the basketball games and, as a rule, received good returns. The members of our class are scattered into various lines of activity. Several of them are in the Glee Clubs and some have made the special club. Those who belong to the special club, by name “The Treble Clef Girls,” are: Eleanor Rist, Pauline and Mildred Price, Sarah Biederbeck, Olive Montooth and Elizabeth Tomlinson. Pauline Price, Eleanor Rist, and Philip Beamer are also taking vocal lessons. A big percentage of our boys go out for athletics. Philip Pyle is captain of the basketball team and Woodrow Willon has been elected captain of next year’s footbail team. Those who received football letters from our class were: Philip Pyle, Woody Dillon, Virgil Ham, William Dewey, John Wright, Emmett Fennell, and Edmund Hickey. We are proud of our boys as well as our girls and we think you’ll have to admit we are a fine class. A WORTH WHILE GIFT. Mr. McCullough (Marion Fields late to General Science) : “Late again, Marion ?” Marion: “Yes, my girl friend gave me a ride in her new sport roadster last night and I was out a little late.” Mr. McCullough: “She would have been better justified in giving you a new alarm clock.” Carl Williams: “Say, Brady! While I was out with the gang the other night a burglar broke into our house.” Brady Ham: “Did he get anything?” Carl Williams: “I guess he did all right, my Mother thought I was coming home.”

Some people understand that word, and some don’t. Do you? To appreciate anything, you must first of all know its value, as it stands; and next, to what advantage it can be or is used. Do you appreciate one-half of what is done for you? Perhaps not that much. Do you take the rest for granted? Most of us take the largest part of our life and the things done for us for granted. Suppose that your favorite teacher has been very good to the class. Then one day she says, “Mary, John, Bob, Louise, quietly pass to the board.” Then she says “Mary conjugate----------. John--------” and so on and so forth, through many of the recent lessons, which she has already gone over so many times. My! What faces! You haven’t paid enough attention and haven’t studied after all the pains your teacher has taken. Did you appreciate what she was doing while you were inattentive? The answer is “No.” Should you not have appreciated it enough in the first place to study and pay attention? Yes, you should have done so. One great fault with the people of today is that they do not know how to appreciate, at least most things, as they should. Yet, as in the previous case of the teacher and students, who was to blame? Teacher? No. Students? Absolutely! If they had appreciated the teacher’s kindness and goodness, they would surely have done better, and so saved all the trouble. Appreciation is a wonderful thing. Non-appreciation causes misunderstandings, fights, quarrels, and other unpleasantries of life. Try being appreciative for one week and see if everyone isn’t happier. I can assure one thing—all will go much smoother. —Margaret Nye. John W.: “Two tickets, please.” Ticket seller: “What date?” John: “Dorothy, of course.”
