ATMf It ' s all over now. But now matter how much is over and done with there is always something that is just started. Spring has gone down the road and Summer has stepped up with her wares arrayed in their most glori- ous colors. Many youths step for- ward and pick out blushing June brides, over in one corner is a fine array of voile dresses, straw cad- dies, pictures of Niagara Falls and Pikes Peak, and scattered among them are pile on piles of time-tables. But it is not at this counter that the crowd is gathering. There ' s a sale on at the other end and not a one of us want to miss a good bar- gain. Summer is offering tennis rackets, balls, courts, bathing suits, swimming pools, canoes, rowboats, ukelales, moonlight nights, balmy breezes, mossy paths, and hundreds of other knick knacks at the lowest possible costs and with absolute guarantee that you will have a good time ! And you don ' t need any time- tables either to use them. Just walk around Audubon or City Parks the day after school closes and if you are still living and past the golf links, and you resisted the whirring of the tennis balls, and the quiet plash of the canoes didn ' t affect you, you ' re bound to succumb when the little freckled faced kid yells to you : ' ' Come on in, the water ' s fine ! And if you dont . . . well, there ' s no hope for you, you ' re just one of those poor unfortunate un- human humans ! Some of you will go to camp, some will travel, and some will just stick around the old home and watch how high the thermometer can get and how low the ice runs, but each and every one of you are thinking that you ' re going to have the best time you ' ve ever had be- fore and here ' s hoping that you do !

sioners. The privileges of voting was restricted to the present Senior A, Junior A and B, and Sophomore A classes. In several cases the vote was very close. The following is the list of those elected: Editor in chief, Ruth Brandao. Business manager, Edna Gamble. Advertising manager, Dorothy Russ. Assistant advertising manager, Selma Heitzner. Circulation manager, Hester Kathman. Assistant circulation manager, Mary Cossgrove. Literary editor, Dorothy Pillow. News editor, Adele Foster. Exchange editor, Qorothy Brian. Joke editor, Dorothy Sanford. Athletic editor, Freda Heffron. Catty Club editor, Elinor Ives. Staff artist, Doris Donovan. Assistant staff artist, Ouida Seller. . The Business Manager will be in charge of the business end of the work, and the Advertising Man- agers and the Circulation Managers will all work in conjunction with her. It will be noticed that three new offices have been created, as •the need for them has become ap- parent; these are the Circulation Manager and assistant, and as as- sistant to the Staff Artist. It is to be hoped that the entire school will give to this new staff the same hearty and enthusiastic cooperation that has been bestowed upon the present one, to the end that we shall see next term an even ' ' Bigger and Better Chronicle. In the parish of St. James, 40 odd miles from New Orleans, is a historic and picturesque industry, infinitesimal in comparison with many of the other bountiful agri- cultural crops of the state, but so peculiarly Louisianian as to deserve a separate mention. This is the Pe- rique tobacco industry. There is no other place in the world where this peculiar tobacco is grown and a a consequence it is shipped not only to the Amer- ican markets but to tobacconists in all parts of the globe. The oldest umbrella in the world which is in the same condition as when it was purchased in Dorset, England, is in the possession of a resident of Hobart, Tasmania. It was brought there in 1770 by Wil- liam Levett and has been a cherished possession of his descen- dants.

The baseball games are over and everybody had a lot of fun at them, too. Although the Indian Clubs won all the interclass games, the Dumbbells won the Varsity. Dumbbells — Indian Clubs — Golmer, G, Blumenthal, R. Dalton, L. Mitchel, D. Wing, M. Dolan, M. Ruffin, Z. Frederico, A. Hall, A. L. Schluter, K. Kathman, H. Camille, M. Dancy, F. Micas, T. Donlon, F. Heffron, F. Zar, A. Thomas, K. Pitman DeRussy Randal, H. During the month the Wright Varsity played the Commercial Varsity in the most exciting game of the season. Mrs. Lusher allowed the game to take place in the as- sembly period and therefore every- one turned out en masse to cheer for their team. No more was it Indian Club against Dumbbell or vice versa, but it was the Right girls standing up for the Right team. The Commercials put up a good fight but we won.

FIELD DAY Thursday, May 14— THIS IS FIELD DAY ! Although all the races are run, and all the hurdles are over, and all the weiners are gone, and the last drop of icy pop has run down the last red lane, there still is a glory reflected in the sunset of this day. Red and blue was the color scheme. Our school was the setting and We were the actors. Indian Club and Dumbell were the hero and heroine. All the stage now, is a quantity of paper, a few bedrag- gled ice cream cones, some pop bot- tles that burst in their glory, and one poor little forsaken weiner barking like mad for a roll. Every one has gone home tired but happy, I ' ll take the hint and do likewise.
