THE FRESHMEN i
STANDARDS
It- has heen rumored that upper
ela.ssmen thhik the present freshmen
class a faction of absoluti- presump-
tiousness and boldness! A jolly

possessed a feeling of awe. Icar. or
what-has-one. when in our pre.sence.
The Seniors insist that we are a so
phisticated f^roup of young 'unsl
(That's one point in our favor, be
cause sophistication is a mixture
of broadmindness. poise, and knowl
edge.) Sophomores think we have
taken entirely too much personal
responsibility on our. shoulders
throughout the year, in brief, we
seem to have given tlie word fresh-
It conveyed,! formally, a picture
of a timid, green, obedient, and
humble creature, it now presents the
fearless—a person of brass and ad
venture. It is true that several of
our midst have placed themselve
the limelight by acts of daring, but
they have quieted down since their
desire for publicity has become
realiity. (National heroes and ma
inee idols soon tire of publicit;
too!) Anyway, we are trying to
analyze our situation, with fervent
hopes of securing for ourselves the
•eputation of a model freshman
class. We do not, however, want
to lower ourselves in the opinions
our would-be-superiors, for is it
: slightful to have them esteem us
highly? It is our aim to prevent
their thinking us “upstarts.” Let’s
get together, freshmen, and gain
their respect, keep their admiration,
and humble ourselves a little.

REVENGE IS SWEET
'rht' scene is a courtroom. ,Iudge
omelsdorf is on the bench, Fore-
an of the jury, Finley, has brought
the jury in. Sheriff Kime has'called
tlie court to order and is calling the
roll of the jury. The members of
the jury are wearing their long black
robes and have a very dignified ap
pearance. They are as follows:
Finley. .\IcMinn, Peden, Kirk, Rand,
lioberson, Bass,- Simmons, ,1. Martin,
Kapp. Little, and Lewis. The
room is full of people who hav
to see that the criminals receive suf
ficient punishment.
With the sledge hammer Judge
Womclsdorf raps on the desk and
orders the prisoners to be brought
before him. Sheriff Kime leaves the
room and brings them in, one by one.
She ushers them in with a hand on
the collar of each to be sure they
do imt escape. Policemen line the
aisles to protect the crowds from
the raving maniacs. The prison
ers are brought and made to stand |
in front of the judge and the jury.
They were accused of everything in
general; particularly disturbing the
peace, being such bores and hinder
ing the progress of others. Mary
Mitch wore her continual non-smil
ing look; .'Vnna P. and Martie P.
began crying out loud; Pat Holder-
ness began to wipe the smile off her
face; Beulah May tried her best
to keep a dignified look; Winifred
Fisher and Mary Alice Beaman were
1 the act of plotting a way to
leape; Sara Graves was just stand-
ig there squalling like a baby; and
Carrie Braxton was trying to crawl
off but at each turn she was given
back to her proper place.

looking with the rouged eyebrows,
blackened lips, and deathly pale

learlet shoe strings. They tried in
^ain to entertain the court with such
foolish amusements as blooming like
ishing like a register, and
singing and dancing as sophs would.
howl of discontent was heard
i.um 'udge, jury, and audience. The
Sheriff and the policemen finally
succeeded in quieting the
prisoners. There was nothin
said for the prisoners because it was
i-ery plain to everyone that they
were guilty. The jury retired and
returned in fifteen minutes. The
judge arose and said. “The jury

It is fashioned to fit sccurely.
Kotex is so soft, so comfortable
after hours of wear. This is because
of the unusual substance of which it
is made . . . Cellucotton (not cot
ton) absorbent wadding, the same
material used today by 85% of our
great hospitals.
Cellucotton is a cellulose substance
which, for sanitary purposes, per
forms the same funaion as the soft

absorbency.
