We’re too old for laughtejr Too young for dignity, Giggling is only left. And that does quite badly. i All the girls have a dozen beaux And all the boys lassies We wonder if at schools' end There will be many passes. i The dreams of youth are in the air Ambition’s leading on. And we’ll reach the goal some day With our work well done. SOPHOMORE WILL. I Louise McBride do will my blonde beauty to Kathryne Lang.

I can’t hardly make this rhyme. > We can’t hardly pass to save our soul, But we’ll be juniors soon you know. Still some of us haven’t paid our tole, And we won’t have good records to show. James Lyon has written across his books, Why do boys leave home? Well, I don’t know but they usual ly turn out to be crooks, I’d guess they just like to roam. HARVEY SHIFLET, JR. X Washington High School News May 18.—The May meeting of the P.-T. A. was held at the schdol building on Thursday, the four teenth. It was a week late due to rain and muddy roads, but the pu pils of both the grammar and high schools gave a verv enjoy able May day program. There was no formal meeting of the Associa tion but quite a large crowd as sembled on the side campus to witness the exercises. This spot had been transformedJnto a beau tiful scene, with a tnfrbne for the queen surrounded by trees and draped with vines. The first to appear on this program, which featured the crowning of the queen was the herald. Eubert Eckard, who was followed by Blanche Wilkie who welcomed the visitors. Lucyle Parks, representing spring appear ed with a large armful of daisies and took her place at the side of the throne. Then the attendants, Alice Brown, Josephine Parks, Claudia Bass, and Viola Wilkie dressed in fluffy dresses of pink organdy and carrying arm bou quets of roses. They were follow ed by the maid of honor, Alice Bunch, who was dressed in blue chiffon and carrying a bouquet of pastel sweet peas. The flower girls, Mary Ellen Buchanan, Ella Parks, Ray Gilchrist and Stella Parks appeared next in dainty dresses of pink and white organdy, dropping rose petals in the oueen’s pathway. The queen, Blanche Middleton, who was voted the pret tiest girl in high school was the next to approach, and at the foot of the throne she was crowned by George Dukes. The May pole dance was then given by a group of girls and it was indeed a lovely sight to see them in pink and white paper Presses wind gracefully around the pole. This group was composed of Earle Parks, Esther Jennings, Margaret White, Annie Laurie Wood, Evelyn Blackwell, Alice Belle Buchanan. Mildred Blackwell, Glenn Self. Dottle Warren, Margie Bussey, Ethel Willis, Carolyn Dukes, Mable Cassels, Myrtle Mc Daniel, Margie Reese and Helen Willis.

The ones of this group were Joyce Bridges, Mary Neoma Eckard, Eunice Stone, Marie Gilchrist, Louise McDaniel, Lois Stone, Berniece Prescott, Annie i Martha Ryan, Louise Cassels, Claire Rich, Elmira Wood and Ella Ree Buchanan. After the program the ladies held a rather informal discussion and it was decided to have no more meetings until September.
