.. . THE DIGNIFIED SENIORS ‘
; By Geaevieve McKee |
" 'The Senior class of ’27 has at last
‘started its eventful career. Long
have we looked forward to this han-
Ty time. With what fear and trepida
tion we éé}:ed the river of Summer
-vacatiod the land of Seniordom,
We used to gaze upor the stern
' counténances of the Scniors Wwith
awe but now we are trying to put on
a look of stern dignity . ourselves,l
while in our hecrts there is fear and
Wb}imfior “car the underclas:-
men will find out how unexper
_ienced and ignorant wc really are.
In our hearts we long for the gay |
~Junior year but to the outer world
e have put away such childishl
fi}lfigs and have assumed the robes
of dignity so necessary for a Senior.
We now find before us much work
and how we would like to make
_many and sundry excuses. But aftcr‘
“Yeing started to school with the
sternest admonition from home andl
threats as to what will happen if we |
‘don’t pass we feel it best for the]
common good of all to buckle down .
to hard labor. l
This is only one side of ''being ' "
Senior however. In reality we arej
having a marveious time beingl
“lords of all creation” as other
Seniors did in pést time. We take a!
wicked delight i'n scaring the poor,
Juniors as wg warn them of thel
perils to come. We remind them of
the wonderful tunquet we gave the
class of '26 an undertaking only the
Breat can accomplish. (This all by
‘way of mental riggestion, that they
give us one.)
Meanwhile we are making great
plans for a successful Senior yvear.
Though this is an unusually small
class we want to prove that quanti
ty is not everything, We are going to
do our very best to come out on
commencement night one . hundred '
pereent receiving our diploas.

AN EVERYDAY HERO OF THE
GRIGCIRON
By Heyward Shingler A
The game grew riore exeiting
As the Tigers ncared their goal
The victory WAS CArelY., th olEse o
If their line thay would hold. \
These teams were strong opponents
As neither had lost a pame. ik
Now ihey were -ighting their hard
est :
For their colors and their name.
The score was nothine to nothing - |
With but a few ‘ninutes to play,
When Tige of ihe 'igers recovered
a fumbper
And made a get away.
He had already gained a 40 yard
dash
And was still flying like time,
When like a flash he Lknew he was
- downed
But on their ten yard line,
Tige knew that they vould Wflt(‘lll
him now, 8
And he couldn'i get away-—
So he gave the Lall to Tqm?ll)',
And helped him make hls‘iflay.

When Tommy did receive the ball
He started running for the day °
But when he neuved the final goal,
A man stepped .n his way.
“ ;
Like a flash Tige saw the trouble
And knowing the goal was near,
He leaped—mado a mighty tackle
And then the way was clear.
It was then Tom saw his chance ’
And knowing his time had come
He strutted righc across the line
And vyelled that he nad won.

The crowd all yelled Hoogay!!!
And cheered Tom with fil‘neir heart
While Tige slunk away—tafunknown

ICOTTON PICKING TIME
By Dorothy Kilia? X
It's a pretty bad tim{:% ‘be 'hag‘!-
ing around a place whsn@cotton s
low and labor, high w scarce.
You're liable to be calldi @n for as
gistance just as 1 wae this fall.
We had only a small field and
all the hands had hi_red out to larger
farms, so I volunteeyed to try it
once. I was to work from about six
thirty in the morning until dinner
time.
We started cut bright and early
and the world seemed beautiful
that autumn moirning, The little path
we took was bedecked with nature's
best. The dew on the heavy laden
cockle-burr bushes was glisteninz
with the early morning sunlight, tho
butterflies were llitting around mal:-
ing butter, the grass-hoppers were
busy making grass, and the honey
bees were gathering their honey. The
entire road was an avenue knee-deep
in dewy grass, vwoven together witl
a beautiful tracery of spider web.
When we arrived at our destina--
tion, the field was white unto the
harvest and we immediately began?
plucking the bits of snowy fluff, ‘
Now being ignorant of cotton pick- i
ing we made 2n almost fatal miq-]
take. We used cords for the strap to
our sacks, and ag the kags became'
heavy, the cord cut into our flesh as
did the harness cf the Vo]gd Boat
man, and ‘we, like they, raised our
voices in song s¢ that our task might
seem lighfei. j
Soon the dew drops disappeared
beneath the sun’s rays which beat
down heartlessly upon us. It took
our best, but hn‘:g put our hand
to the plow, and having already de
cided to buy a new fall hat with
the money we cirned we were un
willing to turn Lack until the whistle
blew.
When this joyful sound fell upon
our listening ear: we trudged home
ward;
And alas and alack!
In my sack
Upon my back
Were only—ninéteen pounds, l
THE FINAL FLASH
By Hal Dominick
We sat thers awaiting the zero
hour. Thirty meon, tense to the last!
muscle. Not sdying a word, a]!i
rcady to spring juaickly at the signal.
Every tick of the clock made men'
more grim. Each held s breath.
Good heavens! The gong! Surpassing
the speed of electricity all jumped
to their places. A solemn hush!
Prayers were beizg said for the
safety of all. Dloodshot eyes, heavy
sobs as the men fought and pushed
their way.
The beginning! Ah! It lay there,
it's fat sides shimmering faintly. A
tremendous clatter and din as all be
gan. One end siowly held upward.
How long it seemed. In a fraction of !
a second the fiont end began to|
disappear. Now 7, gained speea.
Faster, Faster, and then with the
greatest speed ever it was shot out of‘l
sight. Was it never going to end? A |
flash of lightning followed with an'
angry report which sounded like _
—sWish'—swish!—swish! Still you i
heard that sound! Apalling! Crash!
The end! With a flash and a final
mighty swish of its tail, it disappear
ed! All faces had a pleasing look.
What a great ¢! ange! I
Say, Baby wasn’t that spaghetti‘

! DR. HARDMAN
| * By Sadis Cohen
’ Dr. Hardman is now Georgia's
- governor-elect. He defeated Joan N.
; Holder by almist a two to one ra
‘tio in the democratic run off pri--
mary for governor. !
We have elected a real business
man, a clean buasiness man whose
character is abcve reproach except
by those who would stoop to petty
polities to besmirch his personal
character, ‘
Primarily Hardman is a physican “
and is adequataly trained for this
pfofession. As .. close second how
ever Hardman is a business man.
Years ago Dr. Hardman became in
terested in farm lands and has
steadily increas:d his investments in ‘
Norti! Georgia. He established a cot-{
ton mill near Commerce. He diverted |
his mind to banks, the industria!!
world, a telephone company and na ’
Merous farms operated along highly |
developed modern lines. ‘
With a man 'eading Georgia whol
knows her conditions and is inter- |
ested in.it, we believe we have al
safe pilot. We agree with his policy
and believe he will carry out hisl
pledge fully.. He says: “I promised |
a clean administration and have |
‘pledged my%elf to rid the capitol of |
