The time has come when we of the senior class take it upon our shoul ders to assume the responsibility of letting you know in a slang phrase. What is what. We do not expect you to follow the various enumera tions listed below but a vicissitude is compulsory. You must not employ machina tions upon your superior fellow men. You must condescend to please the powers that be. Your mien must be that which cannot lie criticizerl. Do not roost in seniors' cars. You access to the dictionary is limited. If any member of the spnior class does not wish you to speak, bow your heael in utter submission and pass on. It has been said that the freshmen have infringed upon the rights of the seniors. The time has come (to pass) when you must step down from your perch and spend the rest of your year m subjection. In otner words, humble freshmen, "Watch your step." The Hikers Wienie Roast Thursday of last week the hiking club, composed of the teachers and the high school girls, set out after school, each girl carrj-ing all the wienies, fruit, etc., that she thought she could eat. In spite of the wind that did its best to blow them out of their course, they hiked out to the Ahrens land on the south side of the O street road. There they built fire which nature fanned so vigor ously that it had to be whinned many times to make it stay in its place as a good fire should. The wienies and marshmallows were roasted and eaten with the usualy jolly picnic spirit. On the return trip kind motorists took pity on the plodding pedestrians and brought them on into town.
