school and grade teachers enjoyed

we reached the comfortable country
home of Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt. By
dint of nibble feet, and willing hands.
sumptuous banquet was soon pre-
pared. The call To the dining room
was met with Il hearty response, es-
pecially OH the part of the members
of the sterner sex. The latter part of
the evening was spent in good ma
tured repartee, story telling. games
and IA performance by some trained

showed less ability than the bears
Timely good nights were exchanged
and Just as the moon arose we began
our journey homeward. After a
somewhat adventursome ride we
reached home in safety. We are,

Schmidt and Miss Weidenfeller for
the pleasant evening.
The Seniors are glad to see Eugene
| Burke back He has been absent

students with the sickness.

land Office business. Many sleigh
loads of students 60 out.

class to satisfy his desire.
Mr.. Bergen went to Platteville on
Friday afternoon last. He was one
of the judges in an oratorical contest
there.
| We have been told that Belmont
has voted eight thousand dollars for
a new school building What is the
matter with Mineral Point taking an
object lesson? She is in the shade,
but we hope she won't stay there.
| VIII Boase was a visitor at the
school on Wednesday, of last week.
Come again, viii.
| The Physics class had to adjourn
on Monday last on account of the
cold condition of the laboratory.
One more detriment to the old school
building.
The condition of the laboratory on
Monday morning was well suited to
enable the Elocution class to bring
out the "tone color in:

Would harrow mp thy soul; freeze thy young

Make thy two eyes like stars, start from
their spheres;
Thy luotted and combined locks to part
And each particular hair To stand on end
Like quilts upon the fretful porcupine

tribute it to the fact that the Litera-
ture class is now deep IN Milton. IL
