The Senior class Is undoubtedly the
best IN the school. They have the edge
on every Senior class that has ever
existed in P. H. s., except In one re-
spect that OF privileges. The Senior
class has not one privilege to itself
that all the other classes have not {.
This is rather an unusual thing in a
high school as II IS always realized
that Seniors are older and know bet
ter how to conduct themselves than do
the rest of the classes and as their
Senior year is their last year in
iIeges IN this year. But it seems not
in ?. II. S. That is to say, not that
the Seniors are not worthy of privil-
eyes, but that the faculty does not
seem to realize 1t. We earnestly wish
that the faculty members would con-
slider this during their vacation and
grant US some privileges, as one girl
put Il, that would make the other
classes Jealous" Jealous of the priv
ilege, for they are already jealous OF
is.
P. H. S. Is scheduled to take an
important part in the Liberty Sing
his evening. The students will all
he on the platform to lead in the
singing. The boys of the military
company will form at the High School
