With SO much available material
and the spirit manifested by all,
the base ball team ought to be a
"dandy."
One more week of school, and then
comes our spring vacation. Let US
all try to avoid the "spring fever" "
until that time.
We have two newspaper cores
pOndents in the High school. The
new school house will receive due
comment when the time comes; which
we hope will be soon.
Marbles have become a fad in the
High school, with the girls as well as
the boys; but what possible connec-
tion can they have with English Lit
erature. Surely Hamlet never played
at marbles.
Paul Brewer was absent one day
last week on recount of sickness.
1t is rumOred that four of the
Physics class received 100 in the last
examination.
The desks in the High school room
are now shining since their recent
scrubbing, and the room would look
much better if all all the classes eX-
cept the JuniOrs-fOr all know that
the Junior colors get plenty of air
would dust their emblems in order to
show any visitors who may chance to
come, that house cleaning time is
approaching.
One might be led to think that there
will be an evolution in agriculture in
the near future, since five-siXths Of
the members of the class in Agricul-
ture are ladies.
The Physiology class has recently
taken up study of the structure and
workings of the heart. 1t is needless
to say that they have entered 'hearti-
ly into the study of the heart"
1t has often been said jestingly that
some love-sick person had died of a
broken heart. We have discovered
that such thing is reality. The
thick wall which separates the heart
into two cavities may become weak
ened and under heavy pressure break,
causing instant death.
Though the rapid return of the cold
weather has astonished many, we
trust that it will bring few backslid-
ing students to their senses.

The Freshman Botany class tried
two interesting experiments in photo
synthesis and Transportation the past
week, which proved successful.

The Junior German class is reading
Guerber's "Maerchen und Erzaeh-
lungen" FAIRY Tales and Stories
which is both interesting and instruc-
tive.
A tame crow, known as "Jim" is al
present a pet of the kindergarten chill,
dren in the upper ward.
"Sin will out" So will marbles
The vexatious things keep dropping

The English History debating class
are progressing finely: but the map
must be hung up wrong or something
since the students always go up to ii
on the wrong side.
Many poets starve in garrets, but
how many editors shiver by High
School window?
The boys of the High School seem
to be quite busy during the moons and
recesses, practising base ball, vault
ing, jumping and shot putting. Sure
ly all this work of practising cannot
be in vain. We have high hopes of
gaining honors in the field and track
events this spring. Out of the large
number who are practising, enough
good players can surely be obtained
to form a good base ball and track
team. With the advise and help of
Mr.. Bergen and by continual practis-
ing we do expect to gain honors this
spring. We hope that with the new
school next year will come new equip
ments aud Accommodations for the ath-
letic association.
