Gee,   whenever I  have  to  write
a   mess   like   this the   last  in   a
series of columns 1 feel awfully
[sad. After all, if you had been
around this joint as long as I have,
[you'd hate to leave, too. Just the
other day I had a dreadful time
explaining to a little girl in the
freshman class that I was really a
student and not an assistant to the
janitor. "But," she wailed, "you
were here when I started in the 7th
grade   at   Central   School."     The
[■few months I spent here this year
certainly passed quickly. Why it
seems like only yesterday that I
finished   reading   the  first   chapter
! in my Political Science text. As a
matter of fact, it was only the day
before yesterday.) In the words
of that sage of RJC, F. A. Arab,
"the time went faster than that
stinking ol' 65 bucks the government gives us to live on."
—Ho Hum—
Things - That - Couldn't-Be-
Told-Till-Now Dept: Barney
Englund, the local man mountain,
was once a flutist of good repute.
That is something I would like to
see . . . our frail little lad marching
down Broadway with the band
and struggling along under his
burden. Just think, a flute must
weigh all of four ounces. Barney
weighs four pounds less than a
horse—a small horse, that is.
 Ho Hum	
Another of the things that make
education seem so futile.    It took
[me four months to implant upon
my slightly less than photographic
mind that Mrs. Wood's name is
not Margie Lou or Betty Lou. And
when at last I could remember that
: George's name is spelled Pougiales
-not Pogaulies or Pugalieas —
| somebody told me that school is
inished and we wouldn't be printing any more Echos, so I need no
longer concern myself with problems of editorial accuracy.
 Ho Hum—
This certainly is an awfully
short column for the final edition,
but I really have so many little
tasks to take care of these days that
I can't spend all my time beating
[my feeble brain out on this typewriter. Besides you should all be
cramming for those dreadful
things.    And   if   you   think  they
[ain't dreadful, that's just another
indication that you haven't   been
[here as long as I have.
—Ho Hum—
But at last   I'm   on   my way.
Aintcha happy?

J. C. SCHEDULES
SUMMER SESSION
J. C. Summer School creates an
opportunity for the student who
wishes to make that stitch in time.
More than this, it is of interest to
anyone who wishes to brush up on
a subject or prepare for another
through preliminary study.
Registration so far has been extensive enough to warrant the establishment of several courses
which, based on the latest information are as follows:
1. English Composition. A
full year's credit may be earned
in this subject, and classes will
meet three times a day. The fee
for this English course is $20.
2. Higher Algebra. A total of
three credits may be earned for
this, and classes will meet eight
times a week. The fee for Higher
Algebra is $10.
3. Trigonometry. A total of
three credits may be earned, and
classes will also meet eight times a
week. The fee for Trigonometry
is also $10.
Classes begin on June tenth
and will last for six weeks. They
will meet at 7:30 A. M. and will
end at 11:00 A. M. No classes
in the afternoon.
If  there  are sufficient  demands
for other subjects, that is, if fifteen
people express their desire for a certain subject, other classes will be
formed.
Veterans or anyone else who
qualifies for the usual college
courses may attend these classes.

emphasized her leadership as chairman of this year's social committee.

1944-45 and served on the Echo
staff both years. Aleen, who received her pin from Miss McGhee,
is treasurer of Phi Theta Kappa
and president of the student council and has enlivened many J-C
social affairs by impromptu concerts at the piano.
