SENIOR NOTES.
Anyone hunting school Marm's, call
at room II. A fresh supply always on
hand. Attractions guaranteed, patent
ed 1914, B. H. S. to use the rod and
spoil the child.
Miss Fenton declares her idea of fe-
licity to be place where no one pre-
faces his remarks by saying, well"
Mrs. Hill has solved the permission
to speak" problem in her section room
for good and all. She has granted the
students one and all standing permit
to speak. The only condition is that
the conversation be carried on in low
tones. The plan is working very salts
factorily both for Mrs. Hill and for the
students.
Everyone has vulnerable spot and
yea verify Prof, Coonrod has his. 1t
has been observed that the quickest
way to cause HIM to throw up his hands
in horror and take to his heels is to ask
help on latin translation.
JUNIOR NOTES.
Great sensation; Miss Snider threw
the whole Geometry class into great
CONSERVATION last week by publicly
yes sir, publicly, asking Dixie McCann
for his hand. Isn't it awful? What
will the teachers be doing next.
Latest foreign dispatches report the
Junior class of Butler High School
county OF Bates, State of Missouri,
United States of America, to be trav-
cling via Stevensons donkey along the
borders of France. Very interesting
accounts are received daily concerning.
Modestines latest eccentrcites and of
wonderful nights spent in the piny
woods.
Say, have you heard the latest? Will
ma Brown quite candidly informed the
Chemistry class, Monday, that phos-
phorus was first discovered in 1896
Well anyhow she knew there was ii
nine to it,
We wonder what's the matter with
Jimmy? He seems to be under some
influence. They saw that
the charmer abides in Mrs. Hills Sec
ton room.
SOPHMORE NOTES.
The Sophmores' good nature hasn't
entirely deserted them but we must ad-
nit that we have been sorely tried this
week. First there's Miss Snider who
came to the conclusion that those eX-
ercises in the Geometry were not. diff
cult enough, so what must she do but
go home and concoct whole bunch of
home made exercises and Miss Fenton
hasn't added much to our hilarity this,
week either. III just tell you what
she said. She said: "Your papers on
a whole have scarcely improved at all. -
Isn't It shame, after her painstaking
efforts to make Charles Dudley War
ners out of US. And then our next
trouble was the hand-out Prof. Coon
rod gave us at Chapel. The only reas-
on we didn't give him an, encore was
because we knew he had said every
thing he could think of in his first
speech. Yea. verify we hope so. Then
Then Miss CRUDE added the last straw
by sweetly assuring US that we were
the pokiest Caesar class she ever had.

FRESHMEN NOTES,
Little did the ancient Carthagenians
and Romans dream that exactly 1854
years after the sack of Carthage, the
Pumic war would be refought in q far
off western land in little town by
name of Butler. But that is just ex-
actly what is happening. Hannibal,
tho dead, is present in spirit in the per-
sons of Carrie Harper and Luna Kinney,
who are valiantly leading the Cartha-
gilman forces, while the noble Romans
are marshalled in daily battle array by
Scipio via Elmer Sodustrum and Kath-
leen Church. g
Latest reports indicate the Carthage
mans to be hard pressed and victory
looming in sight for the Romans De-
lendaest Carthage"
They say the Freshman class stone is
