| =
! Music Examination comes again
next Friday: ..-... =. T.
Miss Bessie Bedford was absent
Tuesday account of sickness.
Supt. Maud Graves and Mrs. U. E.
Hansberger visited the school Friday.
Scholars are all very busy. There
are less than eight weeks school left
and in some subjects great deal of
work is to be- accomplished.
April 9 the Olympic Society held
its. regular meeting. Five visitors
were present among whom was O. H.
Vail, principal ofthe Window High
School.
Last week the Junior classfnished
the required amount of Cicero, six
orations and are now reviewing. The
Seniors will complete the six books Of
Virgil this week. .~
Last week an invoice of the school
was taken. Each scholar was request
ed to hand in slip stating the exact
cost Of books, tablets etc. used by
him for the past term. The object
was not stated.
This week the school fires have
been kept booming almost the same
as in.the winter, although the ther-
mometer has not gone very low the
cold damp winds are felt very much
at this time of the year.
The school lawn is one Worthing-
ton may we'll be proud of. It has
been4put in excellent shape and, if
frequent rains visit it during the
summer it will equal the best. A part
of the yard is given for play ground
and this part is somewhat mutilated,
but the scholars keep in bounds and
enjoy themselves just as we'll as
though they had the whole ground
Base ball, disregarding marbles. is
the principal sport among the boys
at the present time. Every night aft
er school about fifteen gather and in
! dulge in the pleasant game; however
it may be we'll to state that it is not
always pleasant for all taking part
Last Friday Carlos Dow was catch
ing behind the bat, when a foul got
in its work, striking him on the nose.
The ball was thrown very swift and
for a time it dazed him. But Carl is
not the one to give up to such an ac-
cident. He recovered and is again
taking the same risk.
The graduating class has chosen
for it's motto, 'Non Finitum sed In
ceptum" (Not Finished but Begun
It IS hoped each member that tl,tas this this
motto may be true one, and in after
years it, may be looked back upon in
the same light and with the same sat
isfaction as when it was chosen. The
class colors are purple and white
while the flower is the Pansy. It is
thought that the "Yell'' selected in
the Junior year can not be improved
upon so the same one will be left with
the school. 1t is as follows: Ra, Re,
Ri, Ro,. Ring Ching Chang-97, 81,
Zip! Boom!! Bang!!!. The class is
composed of seven members, the
greater part of whom, as the motto
suggests, expect to take some higher
course when this one is finished.
Tuesday p. M, at 4:l5 meeting
of the gymnasium association was
called to order by Pres. Lee Shell,
Russell Moberly was appointed Sec.
protein, the &c.,, Ethel Cakes being
absent. Minutes of last meeting was
read and approved. Treasurers re-
port was given which showed that the
association has surplus of $3.50.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: Pres. Geo.Da
mon Vice Pres. Nancy Clark: Sec.
Ida Fellows; Treas. Archie Moberly;
Gen. Manager, Dwight Harden. The
former president then gave up the
chair to the newly elected one who
took charge of the remaining business
which consisted in voting upon bill
presented, new business etc. Adjourn
ment. The gymnasium apparatus
has been used but very little during
| the winter as the room in which it is
kept has no means of being heated.
Greatly to the JOY of the members,
Mr.. Porter, in the above meeting stat
ed that perhaps next year room on
the third floor would be finished off
so that heat can be applied and thus
moderate the atmosphere.
