For the past weeks the members
Of the Physics class have been pa
tiently studying the various theories
of electricity and its manifold appli-
cations. The mechanism and work.
ing of the motor and dynamo re-
ceived no little attention. Besides
the many experiments performed in
the laboratory, the electric light
plant was thoroughly inspected with
| a view to determining the working AID
relation of the numerous appurte-
| nances Of such an establishment. If
the interest manifested in the plant
and the number of questions asked
are criterion on which to base
| conclusion, then we must infer that
| all the members of the class are well
| Informed on the science and practl-
cal working of an electric light
plant. 1t is but fitting that in con-
nection with this we return thanks
| to the gentlemen in CHI rge of the
plant for the kindly manner in
| which they received the class, and
| for the time spent in explanation of
the workings of each and every part
of the machinery.
| The members of the Junior class are
| beginning to see some of the appli-
cations of geometry to the work of
surveying. Some preliminary work
is being done in the class room, but
the real enjoyment will be expert
| enced when in the near future actu-
al field work viii put into practice
| the theoretical part of the science. A
set of surveyors instruments is in
readiness for the class, and pleas
ant and profitable time is antici
pated.
The members of the L. S. History
class are finishing up their history
| work by writing the biographies of
some of the wei known characters
| in history. Some of the books read
| to aid in this work are, George Wash
| ington, A braham Lincoln, Thomas
| Benton, J. @. Adams, Admiral Far
| ragaut, James Madison and Thomas
Jefferson.
AS the regular examinations are
on March 9TH 9th and 18th, we think
this clipping from the school notes
of another school may be profitable
| to us.
There is ample time before the
examinations begin to make thor
| ough review in every subject one is
studing without much pressure by
simply utilizing the odd moments
usually spent neither in work or re-
creation, but simply wasted. The
student can review a little each day.
A review conducted in this manner
| is worth something, The student
who makes his review II matter of
weeks rather than hours, should
come to his examinations with a
clear head and light heart. If any

Not "Blue Monday today! The
teachers report the best Monday since
school commenced.
Our popular High School Quintette,
consisting of Messrs. Cody, Hoare,
Molitor, Burke and Parmley, gave
four numbers at Prof. Van Dusen's
recital, held last Thursday evening in
Mrs. Harwick's spacious parlors.

class has no available material.
