High School Notes.

~'O~~0'
School Superintendent Ross was here
visiting classes one day last week.
Harry Pomeroy of the University of
Wisconsin visited us last Monday.
The school has obtained copy of
Smiths rules of order and are going to
begin the practice of parliamentary prin-
ciples.
The seniors have finished the study of
Shakepeare's "Midsummer's Night
Snore," and are going to begin the read
ing of Ivan-hoe, which is a sequel to
Ivan-cultivator.
Last Monday trembling of the build
ing and shaking of the windows was
noticed. At first the school thought it
was an earthquake, but it was finally
discovered that it was only one of the
junior boys moving his feet.
Miss John Jessup came up last Thurs
day to see if everything was running al
right, and to see if any advice was need
ed, on how to run school or on the
proper cultivation of gum drops and
other luxuries of life.
the rhetoricals last week consisted of
a defamation by Clara Pomeroy which
was loudly cheered and defamation
by Roy Nicholson which also had great
effect on the pupils most of them being
asleep when he finished.
On Valentines day each of the Fresh
men received a comic valentine and
have since been trying to find out who
sent them. Suspicion rested on GER
tain senior boy, but it was finally decid-
ed that hey-epuads not possibly be the
culprit because the valentines must of
cost at least forty cents, which is thirty
nine cents more than his pile. -~1@@
Miss Fay Dopp of GAINESVILLE High
school, was a. visitor here last week.
Miss Dopp said she felt quite lost among
such a crowd of students, her own
High school being sort of one horse
affair, having only about four hundred
members, while ours has nearly fifty.
In fact it is so crowded that the organ
has to stand up.
The seniors are not only getting brain
exercises but also physical exercise, for
they are required to take turns bucking
wood and carrying it up four flights of
stairs to the labratory. But the worst
part of it is in starting the fire on very
cold mornings, when it takes an hour or
less to strike parlor match and then
the flames freeze up and drop off in
chunks.
Not long ago one of our pupils wrote
an essay on the "Infallibility of Hope"
AS this is rather a deep subject, it is
thought advisable to give thorough
explanation of the above subject so that
h.
"Infallibility of Hope" is good deal like
the inexplicability of sausage, and is also
similar to the conservation of fried po-
tatoes and resembles in many respects
the exhortation of boiled onions. 1t
deceased eggs. We hope that the pupils
in the future will pick out subjects
which will not require so much explana-
ton to be understood.
One day last week tickets were passed
among the scholars which ifaccompanied
by ten cents would admit them to
grand matinee at Royal Hall. Some
mischievous boy told one of our verdant
Freshmen that if he would collect ten of
these tickets and take them to the hall
he would get in free. So the Freshman
worked early and late to collect ten
tickets. When the day arrived he
marched up to the hall with his ten
tickets carefully done up in shawl
strap and presented them to the ticket
man, but the mean man wouldn't take
them and the poor Freshie had to dig
down in the northeast corner of his jeens
and extract ten cents.
Terrific as is the tale, it must never
theless be told, that this is the last dying
spasm of the High School Notes. In
the future they will be entered on the
ANNALS of time as thing of the past.
Hoping that the public will soon recover
from the shock and that no more such
punk items shall be published under the
name of High School Notes, we remain,
Yours
