Freshmen Notes.

in on everything this year. II they
keep on as they are going each MEM
Der of the class will be an office
holder. The latest additions are as
follows:

Mrs. Hill is strenuously Directing to
the study hall students socially ex-
changing sunny smiles. The wicked
woman. Another new member, Jes-
Sc Moles by name, was added to our
class this week. We heartily well
come him and wish him well. We
understand that some of the High
School girls are going in for walking.
Good idea, but we do hope they
won't over-exert themselves.
sophomore Notes.
At special meeting of the Sophie
more girls, Anna Belle Thompson
was elected captain of the basket ball
team. If Anna Belle has not lost her
old time ability, and we don't believe
she has, she certainly is the right
person for the place. At a later
meeting of the boys, Ray Vantrees
was elected captain of the boys
basket ball team.
Junior Notes.
The Juniors. who are taking the
Teachers Training course, are now
to begin their outside reading. The
reference books have come at last
and Miss Smith is assigning reports.
Heretofore the work has consisted
chiefly in taking notes on her lectures.
Miss McGregory took the "Hikers
Club" for jaunt Thursday evening.
The route taken lay along the main
road as far as the cemetery then
through Whites grove and back to
town via Dakota street.
The girls practiced basket ball
Friday afternoon for the first time
this year. But as luck would have it,
it began to rain, and rained just
enough to make the court too muddy
to play on.
We hear Jimmy Williams is dis
tinguishing himself in chemistry and
is Mr.. Coonrod's right hand man.
Senior Notes.
Cecil Wright entered school this
week to take Commercial Course.
This raises the membership of post
graduates to three.
The membership of the music
classes is steadily increasing. Three
new members entered this week.
The class is now studying in the
"Song Reader" and is reading and
singing exercises and songs in the
key of c, G and F.
Monday is "blue Monday" indeed
for the Cicero class. 1t is the ap-
pointed day for the Latin Writer"
Miss CRUDE simply cannot under
stand why the Latin students uni
versally abhor Latin composition. 1t
is readily explained. In the first
place, you have to read the whole
Latin Grammar through before you
can even start. Then when you are
finally started you are sure to meet
some unheard of difficulty, which,
of course means more absorption of
the Grammar. You start again and
the same thing is repeated over and
over, until, weary but triumphant at
last, you write the last sentence.
WELL" you say, that's pretty bad,
but it might be worse. But wait, the
end is not yet. What is the reward
If all your labor? You 60 to class
md find that you have either studied
he wrong lesson or that by sheer
of Latin construction, the
whole thing is wrong.
The English classes are to write a

There is only one ,
,ook in the library that gives any
light on the subject and the Seniors
re ransacking book shelves far and
vide in search of material.
If there were any more girls in the
dentistry class we certainly would
ave great fears for Mr.. Coonrod's
ealth, as it is now, the poor man ID
