The general feel ing w a s that the Regents , although fairly hard, were very fair. The Fourth Year Latin Regents made m a n y a student squirm in his seat . Math and sci­ence regents w e r e not as difficult as the languages . . , ao they say.

Davis i tes , w h o do not have Re ­gents in January, have had a pleas­ant vacation for t h e m s e l v e s , while their brothers conquered the ex­ams . However , the laugh will be on them in June when they are "put on the spot ," with the t em­perature in the 90's .

The electric basketbal l score­board has been set up in the g y m ­nasium and is ready for use . The scoreboard, a gift of the Class of 1934, is quite an added improve­ment. As the football g a m e s have been improved by the football scoreboard, a gift of another out­going c lass , s o should basketball g a m e s be eas i er to follow with this new instrument .

Seniors graduat ing in January, are suffering the p a n g s of mixed emotions. While it is a relief to have finished successful ly four years of work, nevertheless , it is very hard to l eave the m a n y friends which have been m a d e among undergraduate students and the faculty.

And now, high school life wilt resume normality. Many old f a c e s will be gone and m a n y new ones will appear. . Some of the graduates will take post graduate courses , some will try to find work, and others will work until they enter
