From the extremely long and wear
led counteuances of the Sophomores
it appears that they must have had a
very difficult exam" in Constitution.
1t was a terror" wasn't it Sopho-
mOres?
The Seniors are beginning to look
for place for their commencement
exercises. "Wonder if they'll need
any?"
If '02 won't, who will?
If any one wishes his land surveyed
just leave word at the High School,
and the Junior class will be on hand.
The Junior Geometry Glass an
nOunces it's intention of surveying the
school grounds, to try to beat some
of the neighbors out of a little ground
to build the new school house on.
The Quintette must be on a strike.
We never hear them practice any
more.
The examinations are over and we
hear of a vast Improvement over
those Of last term.
The sorest and cheapest class you
ever saw in your life was the Junior
Glass after the General History exam.
Yes, it is true that the worlds
greatest men started at the foot of the
ladder, but they didn't stay there,
nor did they ever get tired of their

A FATAL COMPARISON.
Once a boy in school was asked to
compare the adjective sick This is
the way he compared ii: sick; worse;
dead.
The old editors of our class made a
desperate final effort. That is why
almost all the high school notes of
last week were contributed by Jun
iors.
With the beginning of the new term,
the Freshmen will take up the study
of Botany. All the class will take up
this study with the exception of one.
1t promises to be good class and
will be under the direction of Miss
Sprague.
Any one wishing to hear a good
story on a book agent or patent
medicine man, ask the Rhetoric class
how they ended the last question in
the examination of March 7, 1902.
The Geometry class is now ready
and will soon begin field work. It
has been presented with a transit and
surveyors chain by Oscar Vivian,
and book by Prof. Salisbury.
1t is rumored among the high
school teachers that the results of the
last examinations are much more sat-
isfactory and commendable than those
of the previous examinations. Neat
ness of papers, accuracy and concise
ness of statements seem to be upper
most in the minds of the teachers
This is as 1t should be, and all school
work ought to be thus characterized.
Such habits formed in school endure
| through life. Not alone the school,
but the business world of today, un-
compromisingl demands that all cor
respondence, records and computa-
tions are in accord with the best plans
that are possible for human ingenuity
to devise. ]. F. Bergen.
On Tuesday, March 4, the term of
office of the Junior reporters to the

and elected some new reporters. One

are: r. Brewer, and Misses NJ.
Folliard, J. Parmley, L. Wallace.
