Keep and remember “the good old days” by. Ill bet some of you have
your off annuals with cherished pictures and memories in them. Nice
to look back on, aren't they?

‘Another reason for n school paper is to give the students means
of expressing THEIR points of view and a chance to say what they
think.

J hope these reasons will suffice. They should. But if you have
anything to add, Ict’s hear it. We'll be glad to sce some of your

‘And we on tho staff know there are improvements to be made. Natur-

‘That's all for now, but just remember, this paper represents YOUR

Hockin dexeribed Jt as a very ple
turesque place with a population
of about three million. In Chapul-
tepec Park thero are magnificent
homes, including the Palace of
Maximilian, where there are
eat courtyards surrounding It,
while in other parts of the city
there is much rubble and poverty.
They visit Art Muscums, n allver

and a allver-factory where they
were amazed little. boys

tlon for thelr cyes.

‘They stayed several days nt the
Haelenda Vista Hermosa, an anci-
ent fortress of court.days, It had
thick walls, long corridors, beautl-
ful grounds, and a swimming pool.
The huge koys for tho doors drew
tholr attention. “They were so

From the little town of Tasco
which 1s especially noted for sil-
ver, were purchased some silver
and leather goods. The little stores
off the strects wore intriguing.

At lush summer resorts In Al-
eapulco, they encountered many
unpleasant little lizards. ‘They
went through the jungle and took
a trip to the Pyramids.

Miss Molloy saw a bull-fght in
which six bulls were killed by a
deautlfully-costumed matador. The
Aights definitely follow a pattern,
and as each bull Is killed, the car-
Is hauled off to the local
butcher. Nothing 1s wasted that
way. If you get tired of watehing
bulla being killed you can watch
‘the spectators battling it out with
pop-botties, fis, and cushions.

The people wore delightful and
the food waa highly-neasoned.
(Miss Hockin claims she didn't soo
fone plece of broad and wasn't par-
ticulatly fond of tortillas, tamales,
or enchiladas. Besldes, all the
meat tasted nearly the samo.)

The last bell rings and the nolse
