Only five minutes now, says
the clock, and yet so short a
time ago it was five weeks!
Where could they have gone?
Four minutes. That first
week now, wasn't so bad.
One always has a lot of good
resolutions at the beginning
of a term. But three min

Other things are a lot more
fun. Two minutes And who
wants to study at noons when
everyone else is out in the
hall doing something interest

the use of living if you can't

are Just born smart and
others aren't. And this last

If there is the needed coop
eration on the part of the stu
dent body, the Rogue Annual
will publish an edition this year,
contrary to rumors, being devot
ed to the Seniors and the most
outstanding school activities.
It will probably be printed by
the Ashland Tidings, who, it is
expected, will meet competition.
The total cost will be, approxi
mately $250. The Senior class
play proceeds will contribute to
this, if this year's Seniors fol

thus leaving the editorship open.
This office will be filled by the
vote of the Executive Committee,
atrording to the A. S. B. conKti
tution.
Mr. Forsythe states that the
money must be raised before
'he actual work on the book is
begun.
Containing approximately 30
gea. this annual will be sold
fi?r much less than a dollar. Fur
ther development is expected in
two or three weeks.
The Junior Prom, the Juniors
tell us, is to have as its motif
the "pent house Idea." The place
will be the Lithia Springs hotel;
the time, sometime in April; the
guests, our own Seniors, the
members of the School board,
and a number of parents serv
ing as patrons and patronesses;
and the hosts, the Junior class.
The affair is formal.
Now, gentle reader, a pent
house is one of those swanky
"bungalows" built on the top
most roof of a sky-scraper, com
manding the convenience of the
shopping district, a certain pri-1
vacy, and a view of the city and
the sky.
"The hotel management has
heei very obliging, said Beverly
Young, the general Chairman.
"They are letting us use the
spacious room, formerly the din
ing room, for games and forms
of recreation other than dancing.
Dancing will, of course, take
place in the ballroom on the sec
ond floor."
A number tif surprises which
the Juniors are whispering
about are to be withheld from
the publication.
