EDITORIAL

Well, here we are again-once more
punching the old time-clock of educa-
ton. What are your feelings on The
subject? Among many peoples first
sentiments of schools approaching as
they near the climax of summer is
reluctance at putting aside the casual
existence of three months vacation
and healthy disgust at long hours of
! book labor in store: but When the.
students enter the swing of things,
they discover that school is almost in
dispensable to youth and brings a re-
freshing balance to the lazy daze of
vacation.
We've all advanced a year in our
studies, and illogical though it is, we
feel an unreasonable age between us
and those who are now in our stead
Freshmen and Sophomores feel that the
upper classmen are distant and un-
interesting and the older ones look
with a satisfied superiority upon their
junior schoolmates and think how good
it is be the pillars of the school,
and far removed from the insecurities
of beginners. However, as time is
reckoned, it hasn't been such a long
time since these same students were
the greenest of Freshies and Numbered
with the worst
Freshmen, we hope you will take
your hazing with carefree spirits, and
prove that your pep and poise. is I'M
surpassed by the old fossils who occupy
the last six rows 1t will be but short
time until you'll all be sweet girl
graduates" and in turn may adopt the
age-old attitude Of seniority
For all, there is fun and frolic, work
and worry ahead We should each get
the maximum out of both. Freshmen,
for later profit, build now for your
four years Of fun and learning; and
Seniors, make this not merely the last,
but the best and happiest year Of all.

a different story this year. Troy is
said to have a very strong team, hav-
