blythe time we finish, we shall all be
perfectly capable Of drafting perfect
constitution.
The Music classes are evidently max
ing great progress, judging from the
sounds which issue therefrom. We I'M
derstand Miss McGregor intends to re-
turn December l. We are certainly
glad that she will be able to return at
such an early date.
Mr.. Coonrod insists that the day of

SENIOR NOTES.
There are IL students in the trigo-
nometry class this year. Six of these
are girls. When asked concerning the
standing of the class, Miss Snider care
fully answered that they "ranged from
brilliant down."
The brilliant strains of America"
were waited thru the long halls and
spacious rooms Of Butler High on last
Friday afternoon. The music found its
source in room IL where the music
classee were in jubilant session. Stud
ents all over the building paused eager
ly listening, as the lusty voices of the
singers bore the National anthem to
their ears, and every student felt a
strange thrill of pride and love of coun-
try go surging thru him. Patriotism
dead? Not in Butler High School.
o, God. God,
How weary, state fiat and Improbable,
Seem to me oil the uses of this world!
File on it, oh fle! 'tis an unWeedcd garden,
That grows to seed; things rank and gross
in literature
Possess it merely.
That it should come to this! 126 lines.
Let me not think on it-Cruelty, thy
name is woman!
Thus bitterly quoted one weary Sem
ior with no apologies to Shakespeare
or anyone else) after desperately striv-
ing for the fiftleth time to repeat Mil
tons L'Allegro from memory. Ever
since the baneful Thursday when Miss
Fenton decreed that 1926 lines of L'Al-
legro should be, learned, the Seniors
have been a broken-hearted crowd.
Each day the Seniors dejectedly drop
into the English room and once more
essay to repeat the charms of an ideal
day. Some few lucky ones have sue
ceeded but the majority is still stray
Cling along at about line Is or so. L'Al-
legro isn't making what might be term
ed chit" with the Seniors.
Miss CRUDE is becoming quite appall-
ed at the vacuity some Of the Seniors
display on the uses of the subjunctive.
The Senior German class is one of
the best of Miss Grube's classes. They
are really interested in their work and
go, about it with zeal that is good to
see. They are now studying "Wilhelm
Tell" !
The Physics class is a perfect picture
Of gloom this week. They are being
into the mysteries of the proof

Clinton High School defeated Butler .
High School by score of 38 to IS last
