There n6 yer yet was human power,
That could eyade if unIOrgiyen,
The patient search and vigil long,
OF him who treasures up a wrong"
Byron.
Miss Hobson was absent all of last
week but resumed her school duties
Monday.
Miss Clara Ayres is again with us in
school, having c~ontradicted the report
that she is about to leave US.
For information on money coming
call on Clyde Dovenport-Philomath
ian, 18th grader and Republican re-
porter.
An easy proposition :-Given the
smiling faces of the 18th grade and the
cheerful mein of the professor equal to
prove that those dreadful poems are
finished.
Several members of the 9th grade
Physical geography class were running
about Friday vainly e~ndeayoring to
magnify a snow flake before it disap-
peared. Poor things, pity melted even
the icy hearts of the snow flakes. Nor
al: sympathy always comes when least
wanted.
Did Miss Starr and Miss Sherman tell
you that they didn't get fooled on the
first of April2 If they did; well there
are times when yes" means mo- and
mo" means Eyes"
A slight accident occurred during a
physics experiment week before last
consisting of the blowing up of a glass
tube. We believe that no one was SER
iously injured tho Mr.. Sawyer reports
himself to have been so badly Jared
mentally that he was unable to get his
Caesar in the afternoon.
A sound of solemn signing in the air
And groans and lamentations;
The 18th grade must soon start to pre-
Those horrid, old orations.
Miss Easom's room is preparing a
program which we hear will be very
entertaining.
The Chadronian has gathered its dy
ing forces, rallied its waning courage
and this week hurled down upon US an
II. s. column measuring Z! inches in
length and p inches in width.
II aving weighed our ''pro's" and
ICONS" thought on this and :sthato
and minded our'p's" and "q's'' as we'll
we could, most of have decided that
April FOOLS day IS of heather origin
and ought to have been abolished in
the generotion preceding lis.
1t is always we'll to hear both sides OF
a question, therefore anyone wishing
to know anything about class colors
should interview both Mr.. Sawyer and
Miss Carlson on the subject.
The Quiet Family" will appear in
the hall Friday evening, April ~.
We would take this opportunity TO
thank the editor of the VALENTIN DEM
oCRAT for his kindness in placing our
name on the roll of complimentary sub
Scribers.
Prof. Watson read us a poem one
morning last week composed by a mem
Der of the 18th grade, but the professor
to read tie signature at the end
Of it, Therefore every 18th grader has
been hoping that everybody would
think it was his or hers. But it has
since developed a signature and here it
is
LIGHT AFTER DARKNESS.
The sun had sank DER the wessern hills
The birds had sought their nest,
And the dropping leaves of the dafTodils,
We're lowly bent i'll rect,
The azure blue of the cloudIesi sky,
was fading far from sight.
She distant light of the twinkling stars,
shone far into the night.
The dismal hot of the distant owl,
Borne by the winds on high,
Would pierce the depths of ones inmost sonl
Who CHANGED to hear her cry.
