Beledorf and 8. Sells) > Eleven days of school left, peaking from (he point pf V|ew of a senior about to leave the fold, these last few days are really sad ones. Tears well in my eyes When I think that, in a couple of Weeks we will be tripping and .^taggering up the aisle to|the tune of "Pomp and Circumstalifce." The main reason that the tears come -to my eyes is that I feef* bad that we have eleven days l^fft instead of just one. " 4 •f None of the teachers seem to .Xftderstand this melancholy attittade of the students. Wouldn't *•« think that they would let up a little? Instead they seem to be taking up for all their lax moments throughout the year. Suddenly we are getting more home work, tests and lectures than ever before. I really think that the ' teachers are bitter about their having to face the world. The «se Graduation Invitations "May T have a card please?" is being echoed all over the school as the seniors importantly . pass out their little mementos to under classmen. The seniors ate also busy making out their list of "people I ought to invite". All this serves as reminder that the day of reckoning is near at hand. And with a tear in my eye I can only say good ridance. Tennis Tobraameat The Schedule has been made out for the matches of the annual girls' tenni& tournament.

Approxiirfctely sixty-four students of the senior class will graduate this year on June 1. Maybe sixty-five if ;I'm lucky. The choruses of the high school will also sing at this program. V Registration A preliminary registration was ? held to aid the school officials to plan "next year's schedule. The classes were divided into groups and each group had an advisor to explain the possibilities offered and to help clear up any problem a student might have. It seems 40:hat one of the teachers, after orating for twdbty-five minutes on what subjects one could take as a junior and they looked like a promising group for next year's junior class, stopped when a timid voice squeeked "Mrs. , we're going to be sophomores!!!

MOTHER'S DAY CARDS TAKE VIEW OF MOM'S REIGN The Hickory Creek Farms have recently purchased the home ofy the late Dr. and Mrs. Puffer | Park View Laie. All Faiths joiit In Family Week President Truman has written his endorsement of the interfaith observance of National Fas; ily Week, set for May 6-13, with its emphasis "on the role which the family must play in preserving faith in our religious and democratic principles." Although many families will be separated during the present war emergencies. "such dislocations will not interupt the basic unity of a family bound together by love and mutual faith in God," he suggested in a letter releasei^ast week. "The guiding principles which the child has acquired in a truly religious family will givto him moral strength and courage to face with confidence the uncertainties of the future." The letter is addressed to Rev. Richard E. Lentz, of Chicago, National Council of the Churches of Christ In the U.S.A.: Rabbi Hirsch E. L, Freund, of New York City.

The utle declares: "Mother's Day and Arv Day--YOU'RE' SWELL, MOTHER!" Obviously, though, the new laurels won't change her. Another Mother's Day card, with similar sentiments, shows a wideeyed youngster just big enough to toddle. He. too, thinks, mothers deserve more credit, and frankly says: "Shucks, Mom, I don't pay special attention to Momma's Day I think you're swell EVERY, DAYJ" . Last year. Mother's Day cards concentrated on delicate floral designs and strictly non-fofttroversial subjects. The experiment was successful but publishers also learned that mothers appreciate verses with a message even more. Consequently, the 1951 Mother's Day greetings are a unique attempt to focus attention on what Mom does during the other 364 days o£ the year. HONORS, .Mom, . That you deserve "-to win.... . .
