For instance, 1952 is leap year. Now, I wouldn't have beeh able to figure this out except for the feet that the school looks like it is inhabited by a colony of kangaroos. We live in constant fear of having the chandeliers drop on our heads from the vibrations. Also, 1952 is -election year. We understand that one of our faculty mepibers is running. Not only that, half of the student body is chasing him. 1952 la the year all the Seniors have been looking forward to. We have a little message from all would-be graduates to their teachers in all sincerity. We love you. We adore you. You're all charming people, witty (oh, how we love those stale jokes of yours), lovable. (I have a German Shepard that's lovable, too-, and brilliant. And in return for all this love, we don't want very much. Just something small--lHce a. diploma or something:. By this time, everyone has broken .all their' resolutions but we're a tittle behind schedule and are jnst making ours. We hereby resolve: - 1; Never to .exaggerate---you know wtr never wonld anyway; 2. Never to make a cruel or nasty remark about any faculty member-- I'm not so dumb; 3. Never to complain about the abominable conditions in the school--well, hardly ever; 4. Never to write any trash. Signed, the authors, Mary Culpepper and Elmira Witherspoon. New Palat Job The school board bad a little surprise for us as we returned from our 'two weeks of revelry prepared to 9ome back to school and get some rest. But it is true that there is no rest for the weary. One thing is certain, no ofae will be getting any sleep in the study lialL It has been painted a violent yellow and everyone in the school is being equipped with eyethadee to protect them from tbe glart. Several , othsr classrooms will also be painted in the near future. May Ve suggest olive drab or some other suitable col6r for the rest of the rooms to be painted. Some of the floors have also been painted a lovely brown which reminds of a color in a painting I once saw entitled "Swamp after Rain". Some of the other students also have adequate descriptions of the shade. F. F. A. Plays Ball Following their regular monthly business meeting Wednesday night, the boys of the F. F.
