Senior Notes.
Everybody is struggling disconsolate-
ly to get back into the school routine.
In the midst of lesson our minds will
90 back to last week, and the good
times we had then. Monday evening
Is the time for Glee Club practice. The
Senior editor avas sauntering down the
hall homeward bound. and glancing in
thru the glass doors noticed group of
girls standing about the piano. and Miss
McGregor's "wand" aimlessly cutting
right angles in the air. With start
she remembered Glee Club practice,
and hurried in to sing deeply and sonor-
ousy about "Old King Cole"
We are glad to have with US again,
Theresa Mead, who has been i'll with
appendicitis for the last several weeks.
We are wondering what happened to
Miss Fenton during the vacation. Mon
day, we had no lesson to recite. To &C.
cupy the timer Miss Fenton to "sum up
briefly the important events of the
ages we have been studying in English
Literature giving the history of the
age, and the great writer's, land the lit
erature produced in each age" We
protested vainly, and finally set our
dusty brains to work, and put in the
rest of the period in frantically trying
to do about two hours concise organic
ing. At the end of the period Miss
Fenton smiled exasperatingly at our
despair, and told US she merely wanted
to give US something to do and that We
might hand in the paper Wednesday.
Tuesday the girls wrote an expository
theme on Glow to Make a Loaf of
Bread" the boys on, Learning to
SWIM" i
In our Observation Class Monday Miss
Smith Inundated US by having US grade
our own hand writing according to the
Thorndike scale needless to say it was
interesting.
Junior Notes.
The Juniors are back again in excel
lent spirits and renewed energy. The
test papers, written before
Christmas have not yet been graded,
perhaps that accounts for the excel
lent spirits, as they might have taken
3 tumble when we viewed our grades.
The chemistry class has been doing
some very interesting experiments late
y. One day we took a piece of glass
and scratched our name Chemistry
Class IA, w. L. Coonrod Teacher. on
It with hydrofuoric acid which we our
selves made.
The music class began this week on
the study of the minor scale. Up to
this time we had been studying the ma
ior scale exclusively. Miss 4cGregor
had been explaining to US that music
written in the minor scale had wall
ing, moaning tone toit. Then she asked
what musjew was likely to be written in
The minor scale. Some one wisely sug-
rested funeral marches. This gave
another struggling musician q bright
idea, and he suggested wedding
Marches" (laugh here
