People pride them- selves on their ancestors, trying tol make others believe that all their forefathers were of the finest stock, with no “black sheep” among them. Even an animal is’ apt to become a drug on the market unless the vendor guarantees it to be a direct descend- ant of some big brute with. a high sounding name. No wonder a class considers itself superior to ordinary mortals and ahead of the common One of the principal characteristics of the Laketon High School class tree is its age. We can surely get away from the fact that it first struck root on or near the same spot on which Adam and Eve fell prey to the tempt- er. : Even the zeal, or perhaps better, the lack of zeal, with which many of us have attended to their respective studies reminds us of some ancient practices. If I mistake not it was Tacitus who told his contemporaries that the ancient men (men of that time) spent their time in idleness while their women had to ‘attend to all household tasks. Is there much difference between an ancient gentle- ‘man stealing God’s. precious time while the woman slaves herself al- ~ most to death preparing food for her . lord and master, and a Junior of our time and “year who buries his head in a soft cushion while he devours a mountain of chocolate drops that toil- some ladies ‘prepared for him? Of. course our class tree has been affected’ by climate and civilization. It seems .that ‘somewhere along the line—TI am at loss to tell you exactly where—a wizard grafted some new shoots or branches into the old trunk ‘so that today is shows signs of a new life and vigor and, what is still more, of high achievements. That we have been tduched by the Cts of modern civilization there can be but little doubt, for we were . often prompted to act like a certain fish that inks the water to conceal what he would hide. Neither did we always come fresh to recitations fairly redolent of works consulted. In a word, we did not always round ourselves out the best we could in the - whole circle of studies so as to make ourselves at least superficially wise. So while our class tree grows and | its branches overshadow the land, it is bound to serve a two-fold purpose. In the first place, it will cover some | _ defects in our pedigree, some flaws | that in this way are made less glaring. | | On the’ other hand it will invite us to! seek rest and refuge in its shade. For| after all, a big shade tree is a lonely | place, especially in hot weather. «don’t let us stay in the shade, for] ‘while a big shade tree is not to be despised, a large fruit is’ still better. | Therefore let us do our best to make| 3 HIGH SCHOOL PAGE This page is contributed to the interest of all ,the High Schools served by The Dallas Post.

I have been wondering if Luzerne County milk producers have availed | themselves of the market that is at their door? For the past ten years milk con- sumption has shown a steady increase. This has been brought about by sev-|.. eral causes such as changes in Amer- ican diet—educational work and proper advertising. The milk market on the whole has been steady and the prices stable as compared to other farm products.
