SENIORS EXPECT (?) GRADUATION GIFTS
The last three weeks our seniors have undergone a great change (for the worse, I believe.) Their faces have grown long and sorrowful. Their eyes are mournful and their hands are outstretched in appeal. Why? Didn’t you know it was time for graduation gifts? Bob Lee wonders where old Uncle Ned, who used to come and see them when Bob was a child, is. He thinks surely old Uncle Ned won’t forget to send him that Model T to go to his work in. Surely now Dorothy Lancaster will get that doll that talks she's wanted for so long. Doris Howey said that she never did have enough chewing gum and now she can hardly wait until she gets that carton of gum that she has been waiting for Leo O'Connor is sure that he will get one of those ten cent tickets to that circus which is to be held Friday, May 19. Marjorie Purcell has been sitting up nights for these past two weeks writing announcements to all the shirtail relations she can think of and now she is worried because she is afraid she put more into announcements than she will ever get back in presents. Jay swisher and Clifford Brammer have been sending announcements to all their remotest acquaintances in hopes of getting at least one tin elephant. Winifred Colton can't imagine what made her mother so angry when she read one of her announcements. After all, all she did was put a suggestion on the back of her card. And then there's poor Howard Ballard, who isn’t sure whether he has anything to even send out announcements for. Maybe these side glances given to Martin Weeks by Selma Gravrok are really just her way of asking for an extra special present from him. Bob Christol said that he felt he has spent enough money on all the girls he has taken out so that he deserves good presents from each one.
