SENIOR NOTES.
All hail! the conquering hero comes
The Senior girls defeated the JUNO
girls by score of IL to 3 last Frida,
evening. 1t looks to US as if the Sen
ior girls are very likely to be the CIR
basket ball champions of Butler High
Watch and see!
The Seniors are racking their weary
brains in search of a suitable class mot
to. This motto formality is usually
left until the last of the year, but this
year for special reason, which the
Senior president mysteriously refuses
as yet to divulge. It is necessary fol
the Seniors to make their selection i'm
mediately. The chief are
Wendell Atkeson, Arthur Kellar and
Selma Gench. They are to make re-
port on favorable mottos this week.
The American History test papers
were not so good this time.
We must compliment the Juniors on
their boys basket ball team. They did
splendid work at the game Wednesday
afternoon.
The English class is reading "Julius
Cesar" for outside reading. They
are to hand in an outline on the same
Friday afternoon.
The music classes had test sprung
on them last Tuesday and received their
papers graded on Wednesday. Miss
Margaret said the papers were fairly
good.
Prof. Coonrod has every now and
then been delivering lectures on Good
Citizenship" free of charge to his Chem
stry class. He finds them to be very
audience. Perhaps the
fact that the longer he talks the less
the class will have to recite, has some-
hing to do with it. ."a..
The English students have been hav-
ng very hot time over Hamlet's let
;er to Horatio, Act Nv, Scene 4. The
lass split into three opposing factions;
hose who believed the coming of the
pirate ship to have been plot of Ham,
cts, those who believed it to have been
plot of the Rosencrants and Guilden-
tern, and the remaining who declared
to be no plot at all, merely an acct
ent. The class argued and reargued
he matter several days and finally sue
eeded in banishing the Rosencrant and
;ildensterm plot argument as an i'm
disability. Then with Miss Fenton as
n ally the no plotter's stormed the fort
the Hamlet plot people who however
withstood the attack and
he no plotters finally withdrew with
My a partial victory.
