The . Faculty ILENTLY gazing at the visions, both imaginary and real, which 'have impressed themselves upon my forgetful memory, there passes before mymind a procession of learned men and women- the faculty. Though not a conspicuous group, they are the ones to whom we owe our success. They have endeavored to impart to us their knowledge of the world acquired through many years of expe- rience and study. t A worthy group, indeed, are the dispensers of knowledge who pass before me, physicists, chemists, mathematicians, musicians, linguists, English teachers, mechanics, physical torturists, and carpenters, p Ah, that we could have grasped all the knowledge that they have tried so hard to instill into our unfertile minds! When we resumed our studies in September after the all-too-short summer vacation, we found many changes in the teaching staff. During the summer months many of our former faculty embarked upon the rolling seas of matriniony and settled down to await the fate of time and eternity. Of the twenty-two teachers, only fourteen returned to their former duties. ' Our present faculty consists of twenty-six ever-willing helpers when we are in need of assistance .or advice. Furthermore, they help to put pep and life into our school activities. Carp, Mac, ,and Nick are some of the common names among the boys, while Shortie fMiss Reedj, sweet Miss Hyde, and Miss Neeley attract the admiration of the feminine element. The Seniors, as they depart from T. 'U. H. S. to start the machinery of life, will never forget the advice and kind attention given them by the faculty of 1920-21. Our class advisors-Miss Meyer, Mrs. Roach, and Mrs. Holt-have ever ,been ready to assist us during the past year. Our advice to the lower classmen as they advance in high school life is to conduct themselves so that they can say as we do now, Members of the faculty, we thank you for your advice and kind attention, we shall ever praise you in word and deed, and, as we leave the portals of this school, we give three rousing cheers for the kind- ness and attention which you have give11 us. A SENIOR. 9

No more parties or girls for me, 1,111 going to do just what I please? He glanced quickly around the room, then ' left for the station. A Dick had been asked to spend part of his vacation with his former roommate at college, Tad Roland. Tad had left college because of his gI'3,lldf3.th61',S death. It was hard for Tad to leave schoolvfduring the last week on account of the numerous banquets and dances given to the graduates, but now he was looking forward to Dick's coming, in the hope that this visit would bring much cheer. Tad met Dick at the train Thursday afternoon. .After the happy greetings were over they drove through the dusty lanes shaded by huge oak trees. 'Tm certainly going to enjoy myself down here, said Dick. You won't catch me doing this and that for any girl. I'm going- to have a rest from that kind of fun, he continued. Still no answer was received from Tad. I Dick turned slowly, scrutinizing his friend, Leaning closer, she noticed a twinkle in Tad's eyes. V A v Say, if you think that I'm going to pilot a girl around down here you are very much mistaken, Mr. Tad Roland, quietly said Dick. l'l1 just walk back to the station and take the first train homef' Don't get excited, Dick, retorted Tad. There aren't any women folks at this ranch but 1ny mother, he paused, and 1ny grand- mother. The last was added with a laugh. I guess that'1l be all right, said Dick, no danger there. ll
