Ill a hifflily entertaining manner, Andy sets forth an example it would helioove all high .school sndeiits to follow. Young Hardy, it is true, spends nio.st of his time frying to extricate himself from every eoneeivable tyjie of difliculty; but these mishaps of his are usually motivated by a genu ine desire to lielp someone liesidcs liimself.

Self Portraits of a Junior and a Senior Ah long a.s there are jniiior liigb schools, there will always bo junior classes, and as long as there are junior classes, there will always he those grueling days of horror when one must, for the first lime, brave the dangers of registration day. Regardless from whence they comp, these newcomers are all alike—lost, scared, homesick, weary—no ad- jeetive in the English language could do justice in exidaining their woes. The first day is liad enough, but when tliose liig, laid seniors pour in, their troubles really begin. How monstrous tludr big broth- (U's must seem! It’s a wonder that their young liearts can stand the sight of them! On the second day, if they still have the courage, (liey return. Straight to their rooms they go—that is, if they can find them. They sit and wait, dreading whafs next for them. They wait still longer—and longer —and longer. At last—the bell! Off to their class they tread, just as fast as their legs will carry them—still the same frightened pups they were the day before. They heard alxiut these senior.s yon gotta stay out of their way! So on, and on, and on they go, praying for the time wiien that last bell will ring ami when they can go home, relieved and glad that another day of torture is over. Yes, it's the same old story day in and day out. Then, witliont notice, (liey finally wake up. Suddenly (heir fear is gone. They lind that this "old'’ high school isn't so bad after ‘•As long as we are seniors we might as well show our authority,” thinks the dignified semester seven student soon after liis pro motion from the state of a juniorite. Just xvait until those new students come over to Senior, wedl fix them. And so comes the first day of school with the superior seniors wait ing to pounce on the unsuspecting jnnior.s. Comments, made loud enough to embarrass the bewildered youngsters, soon begin to glorify the senior's ego. In groups at lunch and in the halls, the supercilious semester sevens converse in low, but well-articulated tones, moaning over (he stupidity and “tincie- iiess” of the newcomers. Lamentation over the new crop of faces and figures goes on for weary weeks. ‘‘What will lieeome of our dear ole alma mater when they get info control" is the familiar wail. Then, suddenly after the junior elections, the seniors realize with a bang that these ■•tincie'’ and fooli.sh juniors have brains and originality. The familiar cat-calls are whistled at the attractive young ones and the seniors take the juniors to their motherly hearts, realizing tliat their school is going to have twice a.s much punch with the enthusiastic help of the new bunch. all.
