The Lives of Students.

There was a strange air of mystery
lowering about the high school build
ings all day yesterday 1t began early
in the day when the superintendent
came into the study room and asked
to speak to several boys, who as il was
generally noticed, were the principal
ones in carrying the state football
championship to this city last fall He
went from one to another whispering
something in their ear, in return re
always got vigorous nod and broad
grin lit up the students features n
reply. The plot continued to develop
throughout the day and the students
into whose ears the magic words had
been whispered became inexpressably
happy as the school day progressed.
At the close OF school it was announced
that those having received special in
vitations were requested t) nce. at
the building at $50 O'Clock, as The
school board was to be there aud had
something for them. This was all the

ing for someone or something, they
did not know which, but the smiles
grew broader as the moments passed.
Then Prof Masterson came TO The
door and explained.
He and Miss Lois Killion, teacher
OF domestic science, had had their
heads together, and remembering
that the football team had never re-
ceived their promised reward for their
work on the football field, and as the
class in cooking were becoming skilled
in their work and wanted an opper
tunity to show what they could do
they had better give one big Feast in
honor of our team. The affair was
planned, the class got busy 5acise1 by
Prof. Masterson and prepared good
galore and then came the M s
terious whisperings in the students
ears and as result it was o go0dly
gathering that assembled at the build
ing last evening. There wsr9 four
tables of guests and the things tilst
they we're given to eat would make
king enTious, especially being prepared
by fhe hands of the young ladies OF
the high school, and as one Of the
guests remarked, if such prepared
dishes could be daily affair the doc
tors of the land might starve to death
As for the supper--it was served il
courses, there being six Of them and
coffee to prepare them for the FEAST
