Mr.. H. T. Hamilton of Tacoma,
Washington is visiting his brother
in-law, Prof. Henry at Martha Henry
Hall this week.
On last Saturday afternoon the
Polytechnic boys climbed into Harp
er's touril G car and headed for Park
City High School. At $3.50 CLOCK,
they engaged the Park City lads in
game OF basket ball. At the end
of the first half of the game the
score stood 8 to 6 in favor of Park
City. At the beginning of the
second half the Polytechnic boys
started in with rush. When the
game was over the score stood II to
Is in favor of Polytechnic. AL
though all of this years team are
playing their first basket ball except
one man, yet the last half of last
Saturdays game could not have
been improved upon much even by
expert players.
The class in Higher Arithmetic
has been doing some field work this
week Since the boys corn clubs
and girls tomato clubs are becoming
more and more popular with all the
young people of the farm; and since
acreage is of greater material value
in this section than ever before,
there are scores and scores of youths
who will never study geometry OF
surveying, and yet ought to be able
to take surveyors chain or COM
mon tape and take the measurements
of any enclosed field and calculate
it's area, regardless of the number
of its sides.
In all probability, more than one
boy in East Tenn. has tailed to wir
prize ii. the corn club, because in
laying off his acre of ground, he
did not know how to calculate the
area of bis plot only when in a
rectangular shape, and as result Of
this was forced to include in bis
acre of ground strip of land not az
fertile as some that he left out on
account of not being able to calcu-
late the area of an irregular and
many sided strip.
The other day when the senior
class Was i'll the laboratory, the fair
eT sex became intensely interested
in some specimens that the class in
biology had collected. Teachers
and students on the floor above
were Mortified to hear "A crash of
furniture being overturned, follow
I'd by b, art rending and blood curd-
ling screams of Young women. On
rushing to the laboratory, Prof
Curtis was found tickled to infinitv,
while the young ladies Of the senior
class were seventy times whittier than
| a snowflake on a December morn
ing. On investigation it was found
that one of the boys had brought in
an unusually large frog that morn
ing. Mr. Frog was tied by the
hind leg to the sink on the labora-
tory desk. He had penty of loose
string between his posterior limb
and the other end of the string.
While perched upon the sink, the
senior misses were all congregated
close IN front of the greenback
ges tlpman, and were cpmm9nting
