High School Notes

The class pins arrived this weel
and as Vergil would say insigni.
ostroque ct auro" are shining will
black and gold. Walker, one of thu
most important OF the Senior Lineup
is wearing his pin as proudly as if i
were Bull Moose medal. Even
Schessler's oratorical ensign will have
to be cast away for the more flashy
style of advertisement.
If any of the Senior boys are seer
stalling around on the square during
school hours, please remember that
they are not playing hockey as the
Juniors would be doing, but are in
search of material to carry on some
useful experiment, and leave some
thing new in the field of knowledge
to their posterity. Pipes and Pharis
are foremost in these pursuits OF
learning.
The program given by the two lit
erary societies last Friday evening
was success both from standpoint
of quality and in financial way. The
receipts amounted to nearly $23,
which makes the amount we owed on
the curtain. The curtain is now up
and ready to be admired. The de-
sign is a monogram in red and black
with the letters B. H. S. This is sup
ported by two bronze lions and set
off by dark colored draperies. There
will be no program this Friday but
our Easter program will also be a
Joint program and we hope to be able
to buy some footlights with the pro-
ceeds.
Rumors are afloat to the effect that
the Freshmen are going to give the
Seniors big banquet at the Fraternal
Inn. 1t is only fit and proper that the
lowest classmen should show their
respect and honor to the venerable
Seniors by giving them a repast that
would compare favorably with the
feasts on Mt. Olympus. We, the
Seniors, wish to impress on the minds
of the Freshmen the fact that we have
treated nicely this year, helping them
generously from out of our abundant
supply of knowledge and keeping the
bad Sophies and Juniors from hurting
them physically and mentally.
Miss Snider and the Sophomores
pulled off two geometery matches
this week. There was a match in
each section. Each one ran about
six days. At the end of the contest
on Monday afternoon the two sides
in the first division, which were led
by Ralph Wright and Lee Bright,
tied. The side led by VIM. Angle
won the last division championship
by two points. These matches are
interesting as well as beneficial and
many are clamoring for match be-
tween the "Stars" of each division.
The Sophomore history classes
have divided into sides and will con-
duct a history match which will con-
tinue indefinitely. Beulah Loller and
Helen Maxey are leaders of the first
division while Ethel Coonrod and
Anna Browning do the heavy for the
second division. The students are
called Soldiers. Many are predict
ing a lot of dead soldiers before the
smoke of battle clears.
The Sophomore classes have been
instructed to select books for outside
reading. Buffalo Bills Secret Mis-
sion" and Frank MerriweIl at Col
lege" have proven the favorites. One
girl had the nerve to suggest "Elsie's
Girlhood. " Needless to say she was
promptly Kissed. !
When the Sophomore Agriculture
class finishes the chapter on goats
they should know what makes good
butter.
An especially bright Sophomore
asks, eff test were to come would
Ralph Wright" No, but Cornelia
Wood.
Everybody is invited to the morn
ing concert in Chemistry class. What
voices those Juniors have.
The Junior class had charge of the
Chapel last Thursday morning. The
program was opened by several Sc
lectons from the Junior Mandolin
Club and after that Judge Denton
made an interesting address on some
Kings connected with the Missouri
)enitentiary. E. w.
