SENIOR DISCOURSE.
Wonder why seniors are proverbial-
Nv classified as digntarians? 1t may
have originated from one OF Sw1tt's
early satires on English schools but
any way, we accept our inheritance
with very good grace and hope that
the weight of responsibilities won't
bear too heavily upon our lofty brows
To help forestal this last class or
ganization was decided upon Things
done according to parliamentary law
are never out OF place and seem IN
keeping with our new state OF beng,
too. r. B. Jennings was unanimously
reelected as pre- ident OF the class,
which shows what a good one he IS
Martha Lamar is vice president and
Roderic Lee secretary and treasurer
Harry Petty historian, Leon Fergu-
son reporter and John Shields song
leader.
The excessive Insecurity of the
above list may be misleading. We are
modern and won't stand in the way
OF "woman's rights" 1t is our sin
cere hope that the treasurer will be
kept busy and that Mr.. c. {. Cold
Coughing and catching) will pass our
song leader by
A battle royal ragged in our domain
Thursday, something short OF civil
war. We were a class divided Though
we didn't falD, but as staunch and
loyal democrats the rule of the ma
iority was recognized and an order
was given for class rings and pins.
They are the real stuff We even or
dered cards and graduation invitations.
And committees have been appointed
TO select colors for the class 1t will
also be the duty of this committee to
select the flowers and motto for the
class. The scout motto, BE Prepar-
ed" with the addition of the two
words, I'm time" would be appro-
priate.-Ella Mae Hollingsworth.
EIGHTH GRADE.
During the past week the freshman
class has been hard at work and have
been doing fine, but the teachers have
experienced considerable difficulty in
breaking them of the childish freedom
which they enjoyed in the grammar
school. They are catching on to their
studies splendidly and the jump from
grammar to high school work, which
is always dreaded by teachers and pu-
pills alike, has been safely made and
the boys and girls are safely on their
way to high school career. In a few
weeks they plan to have severa
themes written on What |, as gen
eral representative OF the public
school, should know about the bank
ing business" The best of these
themes will be published in these col
umns.-Geraldine Russell
NINTH GRADE.
With the members of the ninth
grade showing considerably more
school spirit than has hitherto been
manifested by class as a whole they
decided that to keep up the good work
to the best advantage it would be nee
essarv to go about the idea in an or
gained way, and so an election was
held to determine who would be the
leaders for the ensuing term. Leila
Horsley heads the list as president Of
the class. Jack Jones was elected as
vice president and Dorothy Allen sec
retary and treasurer. A better set Of
leaders would have have been hard tc
find and we all look forward to
bright year.-Sara McLendon.
TENTH GRADE.
The tenth grade is coming on fine
They are learning to pronounce
French and draw figures in geometry
In the sewing class the past weel
the girls were told to make some
feminine apparel for the next lesson
After having a certain merchant show
them every article in the store they
calmly stated that they didn't intenC
buying anything, but that they only
desired to get an idea as to how t.
make the articles Mr. Wall, who wa
left in a stupor at that time, state
that if the girls will tell him wha
their next lesson will be he will hav'
everything in readiness and it will no
be necessary to tear up the store t.
such a great extent.
