C., MARCH, 1938 Paragraphics Did you know that we have a new tennis coach? Well, we have. It’s E. L. Gehring, under whose leadership our tennis teams progressing nicely. And, by the way, our tennis courts have un dergone many improvements late ly; so let’s keep them in good con dition. Keep off the courts unless you have special permission from the coach to play at that particu lar time. How many students know that we now have a House-keeping Committee appointed by the Ad visory Council? Since this com mittee will inspect all home-rooms and grade them on neatness and cleanliness, let’s all cooperate keeping the entire building in best possible order. Spring Fever It is said that “In the spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” In other ■ words he gets a bad attack of spring fever. This year it seems that this contagious disease gripping not only the boys but the girls as well. It makes the students stare out the window with that dreamy far-away look in their eyes, while the voice of the teach er is only a distant buzzing in their ears. You ask a cure. The best rem edy to cure and to prevent this disease is to inoculate yourself with a good dose of hard studying and concentration on class. Lend an attentive ear to the teacher, and wait until after school is dis missed to heed the call of spring. Don’t let these last few months of school slip by without some real accomplishment on your part. Make every day count; then the spring term will be a happy and The sole task of education is to put the mind-strings, the heart strings and the body-strings of each one into tune and teach it how to play its part in the great symphony of human life. But if we neglect the leader of the or chestra—the symphony will never be complete.—The Brackety-Ack Signs of Spring “In the spring a young n fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” Or so they say, and goes. And we’ve unearthed of clues that tell us that spring is on the way. F’r instance, the boys have changed their “hair juice” to something more fragrant that has been fluttering through our halls. . . James Fry sways from side to side with his lips puckered up, trying to whistle. . Mr. Gehring wears a jonquil-( something, on his lapel. . . Miss Laws changes her hair style again.

Sadie and Anne buy new hair ribbons. . . Two-somes gather ’round the corners between classes. . . Mr. Hatley smiles as a certain someone bumps into him ’round a corner. . . Miss Scar borough says she feels like skip ping. . . Misss Cockerham waits at the corner for the postman. . . The tennis courts are filled with would-be stars and star-gazers. Seniors start asking about the ban quet. . . Edith Mauldin discards her sweaters and skirts for dress es. . . The romantic seniors walk around in a daze quoting love son- nets--“Love is not love. . .” “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!” ... If yoh-all can stay awake [yawn] on class, “You’re a better man than I am.” [An other yawn! Ho-Hum, here I i agam. . . Z-zzzz! We Wonder Why?
