High School Notes.

Mr.. Stout, who has been absent for a
few weeks, has returned to school.
The rhetoricals last week consisted of
three declarations, by Miss Louie Davis,
James Burns and Jesse Stuart
Miss Pruyn, who came here from Lodi
to attend school, attended two days and
then left.
The seniors are reading midsummer
Nights Dream" and it is surely pity
that Shakespeare himself cannot be here
to hear them.
A good many of the pupils have been
getting vaccinated during the last week.
although the board has not made it
compulsory.
A pupil in physiology was asked by
the teacher if he was certain he had
soul and he said he couldn't swear to it.
In that case he ought to visit good
shoemaker and get thirty-five cents
worth.
Two of our sophomore girls having
become proficient in the art of whisper
ing, were promoted to front seats and
several others were also promised pro-
motion if they didn't mend their ways.
The sophomore class seem to have de-
veloped the habit of spilling various col
ors of inks around on the floor We ad-
wise them to get bottle of anti-spilling
ink and take three times day Just be-
fore going to bookkeeping class.
During the windy weather last week
most mysterious whistling sound was
heard around the school room that at
first could not be located, but it was fl
nally discovered that it was only the
wind blowing through the senior class
presidents whiskers.
The style of morning exercises has
been changed so that instead of doing
the same thing every morning, we now
spend few mornings a week learning
quotations from American authors and
the remaining mornings are spent in
singing.
One of our senior boys imagined he
was on sugar plantation and began to
raise cane in literature class few days
ago and was requested by the teacher to
leave the room and as he could not con-
veniently take it with him he did so.
N. B.-The room is still there.

last week. Henceforth every pupil will
be requested to write one original essay
a week and hand it in for correction.
This will prevent the same essay from
being read four or five times, as was for
merly the case.
The eophomores have started the
study of book keeping, and it is a good
thing for there is nothing SO important
in life as to know how to keep your
books, that is to keep other people from
borrowing and forgetting to bring them
back
One of our scholars having decided to
learn the art of smoking, purchased a
good cigar and proceeded to smoke it in
the latest approved manner. At first he
took long and vigorous puffs but they
soon became shorter and weaker. In
fact he almost wished he hadn't started
to learn. His face grew paler and his
stomach felt worse and at last he retired
to the sidewalk where he communed
long and silently with nature After
several minutes of communion he de-
cided to swear off smoking and lead
better life.
Last Monday noon large dog wan
dered into the school room. He looked
inquiringly around the room until he
saw the freshmen class, when his face
lighted up and he trotted across the
room toward them, thinking he had at
last found some of his friends. After
nosing around for a short time he saw
his mistake and look of mingled pain
and regret overspread his face. Hayner
Rosebow then came to the rescue of the
frightened freshmen by hypnotizing the
dog and inducing him to leave the room.
