i snow their learning Friday. Eight o.
! the Mound City boys and girls visitet
their rooms for short time.
. Last week Miss CRUDE was SO excitet
. over fond letter she had received, hel
contemplated trip to Nevada, or some
other incident that may be marked as
an event in teachers life, that she
failed to hear the gong for minutes.
They did not object however, as i,
shortened the next period by that mum.
Der of minutes.
SOPHMORE NOTES.
Beginning with this week, the Geom-
etry classes will take up circles, accord.
ing to Miss Snider. They will not be
nearly so difficult-as triangles or quad
rllaterals, so we are assured.
Mr.. Coonrod has assigned each Agris
culture student some vegetable to spec
ialize on. The class is going about it
diligently and you may expect to see a
fine High School garden next spring.
So if any one has the opinion "that book
learning" doesn't work, just come
around in the spring and take look.
I JUNIOR NOTES.
The English students are now begin
ming 1.-THE Last Tournament. We al
so are required to report on Homer's
Odyssey for outside reading.
The Juniors, although they were
third In the list were very proud of the
fact that they sold $16.45 worth of
tickets for the piano benefit program.
The English History will soon lave a
test over the first half Of the Hundred
Years War.
SENIOR NOTES.
Yes, we are still in existence. Sor-
ry we couldn't have been with you last
week but we were all very ill-suffering
from the effects of an overdose of al
Penseroso." You remember we had
to memorize the whole 176 lines of it
and being already physically weak from
the bout with L'Allegro, it was just
too much for us. But we feel some
better now for we have taken "Lyci-
das, another Of Milton's efforts and
Miss Fenton has positively sworn on
all that's sacred that she will not make
us commit to memory but 7lines. Glory
be! Dickens 'Tale of Two Cities" is
the outside reading for the English
students.
''Seek the unselfish BEST" has been
the Senior class motto for several weeks
now and we don't know whether the
other classes have noticed it or not but
a goodly number of Seniors are using
it as something more than class orna-
ment and are really putting it into
practice.
The music classes are learning pref
ty Italian street song 1.-The Whistler"
in which they both sing and whistle.
The effect is very pleasing and would
make good piece for Literary or
Chapel programs.
Monday the classes handed in theme
paper on Beethoven, this is the first
If series of papers, which they will
write during the year on the great
composers.
The Agriculture class certainly knows
low to raise turnips. Their little patch
las furnished light refreshments for
he entire school and even served as
he entire bill of fare last week when
ouring rain caught number of the |
'enior girls without umbrellas and
creed them to remain at school during j
he noon recess. Twas the turnips,
he noble turnips that kept the ravag- ,
1g wolf from the door. Long live the
urnips we say.
The American History class assem-
led last Friday morning as 1.-THE Con- ;
titutional Assembly" of the United l
tates Of America. The questions de- I
ated were: II
1-Resolved: that proportional rep u
esentation shall be the standard in
9TH houses. r
2-Resolved: that the slaves shall be \
,unted for representation if counted G
n taxation.
A bunch Of Mandolin boys serenaded
le teachers at their various homes last 's
onday night along about 1890. Some
the teachers say they haven't recov-
ed from the effects of it yet.
