Senior Notes.
What a great relief for both teach-
ers and pupils. Examinations are over
once again. Only one more test of
torture.
We certainly missed Georgia yester-
day but since she was beautifying to
please Bilson we shall excuse her.
We have finished our literature and
life book, and are making an exten-
sive study of Milton's "Paradise
Lost." It seems to be rather deep,
but maybe we can wade through. We
hope to enjoy it as much as we did
some of the other great writers.

Junior Notes.
We are beginning to have a ray of
hope now that school will perhaps
soon be over. We have done very
well in everything execept English-
but we won't mention our grades.
We are indeed proud of Noel Ad-
ams. He went to district meet last
Saturday and won first place. He is
now entitled to go to Kingsville Sat-

that Noel is headed for state cham-
