one of those oldfashioned eXamina-
tions which wrecks the nervous sys-
tenn but polishes us off for college.

nature of said services was we have

Walt, but the discoloration looks sus-
picious.
The junior play, "a Dream that
Came True" will be given at Seaver's
Tuesday, Feb. 9th. Tickets are now

The school has Miss Ruggles and
the glee clubs to thank for the new
Victrola which decorates the music

of the school will now be given an
opportunity to listen to the compost
tions of the best and most famous ar

sible for making this splendid addi-

The president of last years fresh
man class says he drew a blank when
elected head of that organization.
Furthermore, he says he regrets he
didn't prepare for his present duties
by having taken military training last
summer instead of "fitting" chimney
fires out Glover way. We do think
our hero has more patience than Job
Of old and more 'pep" than bottle
of mustard but we are wondering
whether someone hasn't been joshing
US about that sophomore reception.
The eighth and ninth grade lads be-
ieve they have material for good
basket ball team. No sooner said than
done. The ball, for which $5 was
paid out of the side pockets Of these
sub-freshmen, will soon be here.
Then you'll see some fun. The fol-
lowing have already put in some hard
licks at Seaver's. for the high school
fellows loaned the grade boys their
ball: Rollins, Buck, Cameron, Com
stock, Carter, Sheltra, Turcott, Bash,
Calkins, Cornish, Hitchcock, Cobb,
Smith, Cohen.
The Norwich university concert at
Seaver's Wednesday evening was en-
ioyed by an unusually large audience.
The entertainment provided by the
combined glee clubs of the university
was full Of "pep" from start to i'm
ish. From ten till midnight dancing
was enjoyed by about 80 couples.
The proceeds Of about $55 will prob
ably be used in securing suitable dec
orations for the high school assem-
bly, hall. The academy wishes to ex-

TRAINING CLASS NOTES
On the second floor of dear B. A.,
Room 18 is the best of all,
There every day you'll find us
Working for the rural school.
Our difficult motto, "For Others"
We do all hope to fulfill
In our own rural schoolhouse,
Way back among the hills.
Florence Blair returned to her
school work this week after a few
