!: HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

s"nole OF last week, but opened
again Monday last. On Monday
night the invisible guardians Of the
hlgh-school students whispered in
their ears that there would be no
need for studying that night, SO al
Emost every student went to roost
without looking at their lessons.
tuesday morning they were up
bright and early and took their
usual course towards the school
house; but, having arrived at that
place, they found, posted on the
door, notice saying that school
had been closed. It was signed by
the superintendent, and the Stu
dents rejoiced. The joy. was soon
at an end, however, for at about
half past eight o'clock they were in
formed that the high-school would
be in session during the week, the
grades alone being closed up. All
forenoon the halls of the high-school
building resounded with the tramp
OF tardy students while the class
recltations were of a. character
which drove the teachers to despair
and caused the sky and the earth to
writhe in mental anguish. Even
the pictures on the walls looked very
grave, rejecting, no doubt, that
Diseases by Jove are sent," and
that they generally bring chaos
with them into the state of human
affairs.
The fates have evidently been in
f1uenced in such a degree by the
anti-footballists' that they have
issued decree, for the prohibition
OF football in the Warren high
school. When the football team
was going to play Red Lake Falls
the weather was unfavorable. The
Hallock high school discovered in
the last moment that they could OBJ
tain no grounds to play US on, and
the board of health forbids US to
bring Crookston down here Satur-
day as. We4 had intended. Isn't
that luck? It may mean Good
bye, football?' for this fall.
The Athletic Association will
probably decide to begin to drill
their basketball team.
There are many vacant seats in
the high-school room this week.
A recent editorial in the 18th
grade Chronicles puts forth, in a
very interesting manner the agri-
cultural and commercial supremacy
OF our beloved state, Minnesota
The ninth grade class have begun
to study the Iliad, as translated for
us by Pope. The excellence of the
translation, and the clearness of
Miss Adams comments upon and
explanations of the text, would seem
to leave the otherwise Unsuitable
freshies little occasion to regret
that they are not able to read it in
the original Greek.
In the notes which appeared week
before last in the SHEAF, from Gus
tavus Adolphus College, there ap-
peared remark to the effect that
the writer hopes the present inact-
ivity OF the ''high-school poet of
Warren" " as he calls him, will be
continued indefinitely. The said
"poet, "when he was shown the
notes, said ne was pleased at the
excellent style in which they were
written, he remarked incidently,
that he hoped the gifted student of
"Gustavus Adolphus" would con-
tinue to show his most excellent
breeding, and attend to. his own
business, in the future as he has
hitherto done. He says he is sur
prised at the politeness of the afore-
said remark, and that the author
should be so considerate of other
peoples feelings. In spite of these
declarations, however, the "poet''
goes and mutters to himself the old
Latin proverb: "Cuculus non facit
monachum. When asked what that
means, he answered curtly, "A
plug-hat doesn't make the gentle
man.
