C., and the last two at State Normal School of Elizabeth City. I can very plainly remem ber my first morning on my way to high school. I had a feeling which I had never experienced before. I felt I was about to reach the highest step attain able. My first year was the most enjoyable. It was then that I realized the aim of the high school and it was a pleasure for me to begin to study different subjects. I found the second year more complicated than that of the first. I began to see clearly what hard struggling I had to do in order to get through. After finishing the second year I felt that I wanted to change schools. It happened that S. N. S. was my choice at that time. It was the fall of ’27 that found me in my Junior year on my way to the State Normal School. This was, my first time in boarding school and of course I had different idea3 concerning it. I had heard wonderful things about S. N. S. and found it to be worthy of its reputation. The classmates I met were as jolly and as gay aa the ones I left behind. When I began my work in the third year, I found it even harder than the second year, but I was advised to study hard and I found it took real hard studying in order to do the work. Thus, I was able to get through the third year. The fall of ’28 found me on my way back to school again feeling more happy than ever because I was entering my Senior year of high school. This year has been a pleasure to me because it has had less worries. Knowing my aim would be realized at the end of the term, I was spurred on to work harder. My classmates and I have worked together and solved problems which seemed almost insolvable. Dear old State Normal has helped me and in spired me to strive for a higher education. This is my happiest year and also the saddest of my high school days—happy because I have almost won the victory for which I have labored and sad because I have to leave dear friends and teachers who have; meant much to me here. Nevertheless, I shall always hold sweet memories of my Alma Mater. —Mary M. Allen. 0 LE PRINTEMPS AUX BOIS (Original) Le printemps signifie le reveille de nature, le reveille pas seulement de nature, mais de la vie plus-haute. Meme Christ prefera ce temps de I’an pour sa resurrection. II y a de I’unite des couleurs en le printempts. En le printempts le —ciel embauche la plus couleur qu’on trouve en tous les saisons. Cet azure (couleur) commande tout le monde reveiller et commencer la vie de nouveau. Les ruisseaux sonc plus clairs en le printemps. Ils accueillissent les oiseaux foyer encore une fois. Les fleurs donnent du parfum a tout les bois, les sources, avec leurs murmures, affrissent des idees de romance, et les oiseaux, avec les compagnons, commencent des nouveux par premier batissant leurs nids. Avec le retour des oiseaux montent les bourgeons et les jeunes fleurs. Rien autre donneraient un example meilleur d’un reveille et d’un beau romance que le printemps.—George A. Gore, French II. o First Student: “Do you ever see any painters in the forest near your home?” Second Student: “They aren’t called painters; they are called panthers, but we don’t see any of those.
