Mr.. Wildman of the Redpath Ly-
ceum course gave the high school
i pupils a pleasant talk Monday
morning. He explained to them the
entertaining numbers that are to be
on the lyceum course this year and
urged the high school pupils to take
advantage of them. Mr.. Wildman
who was a student Of the c. H. S.
at one time contrasted the excellent
advantage which the students now
have with those at his time.
The annual board have commenced
/ work in real earnest. The board
4 are beginning to realize that it's no
fun getting up an annual, SO they

one boost.

joke box ready for the students
use. 1t is hoped that large num-
Der OF Jokes will be contributed.

| Chemistry laboratory has COM
menced with violent upstairs. Roy
Banning was in the laboratory one
day last week preparing some hy-
drogen. All of sudden violent
noise like that Of an explosion was
heard. Mr.. Wells and several pu-
4 pills rushed into the laboratory half
expecting to zee Roy in a dilapi-
dated condition. However, Roy was
all right. But the thousands Of
pieces of glass whica covered the
| floor indicated that Roy's appara-
tus had suddenly exploded. This
was probably due to defect in the
apparatus and not to Roy's skill.

seats. 1t is expected that the
Freshmen will occupy these. 1t sure

berry committed in the southeast
corner Of the Assembly room. It
