The Seniors are we'll pleased with
The outcome of their social last Fri
day evening and why should they not
be pleased-they have twenty seven
real silver dollars and nine cents in
their little tin bank to show for their
efforts at entertaining the public, tho
they expect to entertain the public
better next June when on the stage
they will paint the floors and ceilings
of the opera house with their orations
of knowledge and wisdom. The pro-
gram opened with piano duet, quite
skillfully rendered by the Levitt SIS
ters-yiz: the Misses Carrie and Ethel.
After the opening Mr.. Charles Ra-
berge spoke his little piece -"Love
Under Difficulties" but as it did not
apply to Charles the subject was over
looked. Evidently the audience wish
ed to hear more from Mr.. Raberge,
for the way applause was thrown him
he had made great hit. Mr. Ra-
berge had learned just the one piece,
SO he could not accommodate the de-
lighted audience. Miss Susie Reeve
sang solo. which was duly appreciat-
ed. The recitation by Miss Swanson
also proved the Oratorical powers of
one of the Senior class. Miss Multi
gan recited beautiful bit of rhyme
oh dear how some of the Sophmore
and Junior boys wept-which has
placed another feather in the crown
of glory that sets on our language
teachers brow. For wasn't it Miss
Mulligan who recited that poem about
her bench legged dog last year? Sure
it was. But this late recitation was
about little cripple, who had curva-
ture OF the spine. Last year it was
her dog having curvature of the legs
and ears. Miss Pearl Hevener sang q
very beautiful solo-''The Sea is my
Sweetheart. Miss Minnie johnson
read a delightful essay-so something
about an old fashioned school, but as
we ones of the high school couldn' It
cOndescend to compare our school
lives with the lives of our grand papas
we were not as attentive as we might
have been. Messrs. Bloomquist and
Goodman rendered two beautiful man
dOlin duets, accompanied by Fred
Port. Perhaps an explain alton is due
for the appearance of q Sophmore in
the role of Senior in the farce--.'Is
He In" Mr.. Elton Sutcliffs and Mr..
Louis Lockhart had rehearsed and
practiced together intending to do
their share of the entertaining by pre-
senting farce. On Wednesday II
was found that Mr.. Lockhart could
not do his turn and for q while it was
tho't that the program would have to
be shortened by striking of this pars
OF 1t. AS Mr.. Sutcliffe and Andy
Lockhart have worked together in
burnt cork before, he aslxed him To-
take the part OF the Shakisperian 4
Andy consented and tho the farce was
not presented as they could have pre-
sented 1t had they been given more
time, 1t was acted fairly we'll. Refresh
ments were served in the gym. To
sum up the whole affair il was . sue
cess and casts great reflections on the
Senior class of 1907. The program
was concluded by the singing Of the
class song by the class.
The Herald reporter wishes to COR
rect the statement, which appeared In
the last issue OF the Herald, that Alex
Cunningham had placed \ piece of the
fret Cuban fly in the library collec-
tiOn. 1t was not . mis-. statement by
the reporter, but an error of the COM
positor. No, Mr.. Cunningham has
not placed piece of the fret Cubsn
ay in the library--it was q piece of
the first flag.
1.-THE compositor says it was not
written plainly.l
When we attended the primary grade
some ten years ago We used to hear
. little verse, quoted quite often
now. about "M sry's Little Lamb" !"
Since then we've read q great many
revisions of there is the latest by
q high school student:
Mary had wee, little lamb,
Littler than little COW
Once Mary soaked it on the ham
And Mary's w'ththe angels now.
In geometry Prof. Schafer made the
following remark: ''try to prove the
proposition. Try it. An angel
couldn't do better.'' At this Hugh
Wood got up and said he'd try. He
has been trying ever since, but the
wings haven't sprouted yet. It is
rumored that pair of chickens wings
will be grated on in the near future.
I The botany class have laid out their
tracts OF land In which to raise their
crops.
Wanted by the faculty-a good tire
less boy to turn the crank on the hand
organ SO that we can begin each day
with a song or two.
Prof. Clark has placed some very
interesting mineral and FOSSIL speci-
mems in the high school library.
