Louis Shuster is at home from
Mitchell to spend the vacation.
The students have taken their de-
parture for their homes, the "chapel
bell" eases to peal out it's early
notes and much OF the energy of our
county seat has likewise departed.
We acknowledge with pleasure the
serenade given by the merry crowd
as they returned from a trip to the
Camp meeting grounds. Prof.
Larkin also testifies to being awak-
ened by something "Buzzing and
whizzing" around.
The report of Harlan Carl on the
Mature excursion" trip was received
with enthusiasm. Indeed, we did not
realize that such extensive prepara-
ton had been made for the success
of the journey. From the merry
looks that were very noticeable it
was evident that some things trans
pired that were not reported.
The examination was considered
more lengthy than difficult. It
would be difficult to find a more
faithful band of workers. The results
will be declared just as soon as perse-
yering, hard work will grind them
out. In the mean time, let Patience
have her perfect work" and ask the
Supt. as few questions as possible.
The following are the res olutions
adopted:
