ing US with a solo. Finally some one
suggested that it was time to go home,
which was Immediately acted upon, as
the aversion of the Seniors to late
hours is well known. We, the boys
of the Senior class, extend our heart
felt thanks to the young ladies of the
class, and give our promise of re-
turn OF the compliment.
TO THE SECOND DIVISION IN GRAM
MAR AND ALGEBRA.
The question that often arises is:
Can the second division mind it's biz?
The teachers talk TO US pretty plain,
Although we know it gives them pain.
And they tell Us how division "a"
Minds its own business every day;
But although We know it is quite true,
1t sometimes makes us rather blue.
Why can't we mind our "biz" just the
same,
And thus escape censure or needless
blame?
GAS" members treat US as they please
And throw such hints at US as these:
"Although you are the smarter class,
You must admit that we surpass
In good behavior to our teachers"
And then they walk off just like
preachers.
Let's all make an effort to be good
like GA"
And sometime, hear our teacher say:
"Although your class was once so bad
Now you're the best we ever had.
Please take advice from penitent
sinner
Who is starting out as a new begin
ner.
Laugh at recess and have your fill,
But in school remember eve can and
will" A "Can and Will"
The size of the Theory and Art
class is almost conclusive evidence
that no distrtrict need want for a
teacher hereafter.
As yet none of the editors have re-
ceived any black eyes or broken
noses.
Some seem to be in doubt as to
which class can boast of the poet.
We have as yet had no evidence that
any but the Senior class possesses
any such talent.
It seems as if the Sophomore boys
have not the cash to give the girls
their long wanted and promised re-
ception.
RumOrs have been ahoat for some
time of Freshman spread. We have
heard nothing of it since vacation,
however. Haxe the Freshmen gone to
sleep, or are they, like the SOpho-
more boys, short of cash?
The Sophomores can no longer
claim the distinction Of being called
martyrs because they work under the
loose plaster. The plaster has loOs-
ened over the heads of the venerable
Seniors, and the time seems near at
hand when we will all be "mortared."
The members of the Freshman class
are glad to see that Miss Rena DeIIer
has returned to school this week, af-
ter spending the past week in Chi
cagO.
Some long faces have been seen on
some of the students when asked for
three cents. Ought they to be so
miserly as to begrudge three cents for
a good cause?
The study of slavery, its develope-
ment and results, as it is being taught
the Z. S. History class by Miss
Sprague, is both interesting and pro-
titable. AS members of the class, we
appreciate the work Miss Sprague is
doing.-A Member.
The Juniors and Seniors talk about
the remnants of the Sophomore
spreads; but if all the Sophomore
could have had a glimpse of the lab
oratory, "a few of them did on the
day after the famous banquet" they
would say that the Juniors and SEN
Tors could not clear away the remains
of their spread as we'll as the Sopho-
mores. They are not the only peb-
bles, are they, Sophs?" - Two of
Them.
mo, Sophs, we are not the only
pebbles, but you have our sympathy
in your dilemma of having nothing to
clean up."-A Senior.
They talk about the Juniors;
How the Seniors cut a dash,
But think that the Sophomore
Can beat them all to smash.
Although we are not angels,
And sometimes need a licking:
We thought we'd send this bit to
show
