Poetic School Calendar

A new and unique weekly calendar
has been devised by Prof David
Hemphill OF the Point Isabel public
school. The professor has some po-
etc talent and has composed a stanza
for each day of the week. which is
written on the upper part of the
black board on the day for which it
it was designed The pupils are
required to memorize the stanzas
each day. The professor has kindly
furnished The Herald with a copy
of this poetic. weekly calendar,
which follows:
Monday.
On Monday fresh and bright,
We enter school again.
Resolved to do the right,
And grow up learned mep
Tuesday.
On Tuesday still we feel
Ali eager to be men,
And go to work with zeal,
To use the brain and pen
Wednesday.
On Wednesday, now we find,
The middle of the week,
It's pleasant to the mind
Fair knowledge still to seek
Thursday.
On Thursday still we strive
To learn some useful thing;
With every sense alive,
New zeal to school we bring.
Friday.
On Friday. we review
The lessons of the week;
The good we still pursue,
And learn to write and speak
All! What a jolly time
At school we have each day
Up Learning's mount we climb,
And labor seems like play

necessary in view of the fact that, to

sympathetic, and, moreover, she has
succeeded in making a play that is as
enjoyable to those who have not read

evening, and the affair was one of the
pleasantest the building has ever
known. Messrs. Robbins and HUM,
Secretary Super, DR.. Hand, and Direc-
tors F. C. Anterior and Ed. Towse led
in the festivities. The toast list and
the set program called forth numbers
from Messrs. Oliver, Minchin, Martin,
Kelsey, Blanchard and others, and
there was much singing of college
songs, with Mr.. Ewing at the piano.
Fluctuations We're general over the
football victory of the afternoon, and
the good feeling of the occasion mani
tested itself in the interchange of
stories and formation of friendships
for the new year. Seats were taken
promptly at s o clock, and it was nine
when the stirring melody of Aud

passing ears. Nearly all of those

their association utilization fill most of

the dinner and the sociabIlity very
