of the school year has just closed, a
week SO very strenuous that the COM
ing. examinations look pale and tame
in comparison and We actually look
forward to them with feelings akin to
relief For anything Is preferable to
map-making, the writing of compo-
sitions I'm our best style, research
work on artists. etc. II you visited
| the Art Exhibit and t he Patrons
Day Exhibit on Friday you probably
! beheld the results of our labors.
Chief among our troubles we've maps

tar Tribe" and literary maps OF
England for the Seniors, maps Illus

maps of England. for the juniors,
and plots of "Silas Mariner" Tor the
Freshmen. Also there were Latin
maps to be made by the followers
of Caesar and Vergt and compost
tions too numerous to mention. Tho
ugh no cases OF insanity have been
reported as a result Of overwork and
| worry yet there has been much loss
of sleep and to some especially abused
ones going home to meals has be-
come a luxury for which they seldom
have time.
Temperance lectures have become
an every day occurrence. Mr.. Warn.
er gives us one every noon. Intern
perance, he says, does not merely APP
ply to the use of Intoxicating drinks
but includes every thing which we
do to excess. 1t seems he has hit
| upon this temperance-lecture-m
to prevent any intemperance i'm stu
dy stealing into our midst. The an
tidote lis quite effective as the teach
ers' record-books may show.
Room I presented the appearance
OF an artists workshop during the
past week as 1t was the headquarters
for every map-manufacture and man.

world could 1t have been mistaken
for an English class room but Friday
it put ON dts finest array and served
as lunch room to hungry patrons of
the school
Whispering sometimes pays and
this time Mr.. Hanson himself was
the rewardre. 1t seems that two girls
who have little to do afternoons I'm
school and consequently whisper, wer
ON Tuesday afternoon given charge
of the art exhibi, a task which they
had for the rest ofthe week.
On the reading table in the assem-
bly, room is Tor was last week. a copy
of the freshmen number of the school
paper of the University of Idaho. 1t
contains a poem composed by Esther
Evans, graduate OF the Mountain
Home High School, that Is weM worth
reading. Perhaps as Mr.. Warmer pre-
diets, this school will yet become
famous.
At a meeting of the basket ball
girls Monday evening, Augusta Glib

day, "Wednesday and Friday evenings
were fixed upon for practice.
The seniors have held several meet
ings to consider some weighty mat
ters. One noble deed accomplished
was the changing of our class colors
from pink and green to old rose and
gray which are far more consistent
with our dignity. Pink lis too child
ish and greenwich, green should al
ways be reserved for the freshmen.
Old rose lis pink modified and gray
is the symbol Of the gray matter
which we wear in ruffles on the In
side of our heads.
If 1t is true that practice makes
perfect, certain senior Is destined
to be a great artist. He recently
finished his third literary map of En-
gland On his first he got IN hurry
and began to put the ink on by bot

and was exhibited on Patrons Day.
This good work has been going on
since Christmas.
