"cl s CREED"
BY A : Turnberger.

one doubts rTis statement they
are perfectly free Ito discuss
it" with the teachers; that the
'would-be society" should be
abolished, that the only way
to reduce a coal bill is to take
a brisk walk from nine to ten
every morning when the ther-
mometer drops below zero; that
the length of the school term
should be extended to ten
months year, six days a week
six hours day, Fridays in
cluded; that the waste basket
is reliable authority to con-
suit about the fads, and follies
to keep our seats" as a SOU
venir of our school days but
they may be needed next year;
that the extent of every lesson
should be "go as far as you
come" This embodies the
creed of the class in general
and we sincerely hope its arti-
cles will be adopted by succeed
ing classes.
Abigail Baird, believes that
our street railway should be
pushed forward for it would be
such convenience to the
East Honesdale students, especi-
ally those who have difficulty
in reaching the high school at
nine o'clock. Embodied in
Helen Beck's creed is this brief
but suggestive article of faith:
"A cosy corner is any corner
that does not contain a chape-
rome" Faith Clark, that
Honesdales Humane Society
should make some provision for
all stray cats and uogs, thus
relieving the high school stud
ents from all responsibility.
Hazel Dein, that marcel waves
are a great acquisition to per-
sonal appearance and popular
ity. Ernest Dudley, tnat all
are not clans who have "Scho-
ellis; Fred Frey, in improving
Shakespeare every time the
opportunity is offorded, but as
yet he has not been very sue
cessful. William Freund, that
this is the proper time to apollo
gize for his compulsory insult
namely, turning back to the
high school. Chester Gerry,
that Storms" are essential
factors in everyday life.
Walter Healy, in disregarding
all the rules of etiquette gov
erning introductions to young
ladies and playing the part of
the man behind. George Har-
ris, that he has been signally
honored by having the chair of
Literature given him in Homes
dale High School. Florence
Hitler firmly believes in gener-
osity, even to sharing the
measles with her neighbors.
Albert Krantz, that each class
room should be furnished with
a calendar, so that if in doubt
about the day of the week it
can be consulted without dis
turbing the entire class. Coe
LemnitZer evidently believes
the course in the Honesdale
High school is not sufficiently
crowded for the tried very
hard to have palmistry in
troduced this year. Gertrude
thurman, that one member of
the class at least, should be
loyal enough to wear class col
ors, this solves the question of
the blue and gold dress, to-
gether with the belt of the same
pleasing combinations; Susie
McGraw, a few more years, of
single blessedness and then her
name will be Dennis" Fred
Osborne, believes to his sorrow
that the child labor question is
too difficult for a senior and
If written at all the limited time
should be two weeks. Flossie
Policy, that a handful of good
life is better than a bushel of
learning. Russell Romaine
believes having learned from
experience that it is necessary
to invite three or four girls to
"a dance before you can find one
who will consent Ito rob the
cradle" Henry Soete, never
do to-day what you can put of
until tomorrow. Clara Saund-
ers, in the study and mastery
of natural history, but she does
not advance very rapidly for she
is still on "B's." Laura Van
Horne, that she will soon invest
in the best of Union Bonds on
the market-a marriage certifi-
cate.
Without doubt our teachers
are we'll pleased with our creed
for they have said to US: my
children, you have indeed per-
formed your tasks with valiant
courage, and we consider you
the best and brightest class
that ever graduated from the
good, old H. H. S., you may
now enter the promised land
for you have reached the goal.
