Editorial
There are just a few more days of school, and the
seniors do not feel happy about it. But most of the
undergraduates say, "Oh, goody! Just a few more
days.”
But the Seniors look back on the memorable events
of our four years, and it seems no more than a year
ago that we entered.
You juniors we hope all of you will return next
fall as seniors. And you sophomores will return as
the "mighty juniors” and be be ready for the prom.
And you poor little green freshies we assure you
that you haven’t so long to go to graduate; so stick
with it and before you know it you will be seniors.
To all of the classes we wish the best of luck. And
to all the teachers who have done their very best in
teaching and guiding us throughout the years we say
"Thank you and good-bye.”—P ete G eorge

Class Prophesy
It is exactly ten years from the time the seniors
of "43” were presented their diplomas to go out
into the world and either succeed or fail. Most of
them, as you see, are doing wonderfully well in their
occupations. We look through our television to see
them.
Flash! Flash! "We’re looking in on the world’s
lightweight champion, defending his title for the ten
th consecutive time at Madison Square Garden.
"It’s a right blow to the jaw and a left—then a
right,” the opponent is T.K.O’d. The winner, in
the second round, is Mr. Ralph Summers of Re
serve, Montana.
