GRATED our old walls. All of our decorations
were destroyed in the fire with the exception
of the service flag which was donated by Grace

Ben Whitney have presented pennant of
Mortified and pennant of Carleton to the
school. Each class is to donate one pennant.
These pennants are to be Of the class colors.
Before long P. H. S. will be celebrating the
double wedding of Messrs. Davis and Herdliska
AT the present time Mr.. Davis is engaged to
Ben Whitney and Mr.. Herdliska to Roy Busch.
Both of these young couples are we'll known in
Princeton. When it comes to cooking Ben and
Roy hard to beat. Mr.. Davis will continue
his work as deliveryman for the downtown
stores and Mr.. Herdliska will begin next week
to have full charge of the prescription depart
ment (?) of Jacks drug store.
Last Friday evening the P. H. s. boys were
beaten by the alumni. It was an exciting game
and the boys had it hot and heavy. Even
though the high school boys did not beat they
console themselves with the thought that many
of them got good ride and experienced the
joys of a "nigger pile
The freshmen class is going to give a play
called 'The Merchant of Venice" Watch for
the date
The high school is being denied the ioy of
hearing normal girls sing "Juanita'' and "How
Can Leave Thee" This is due to the fact
that the girls are off teaching school for a
couple of weeks. But we will be charitable and
not bemoan our fate, for what is our loss is
possibly their pupils gain.
Some of our high school girls tested the tenn
perature of the water of the Rum river last
Wednesday. The water had crossed the road
down by the new bridge and, as it was neces-
sary for the girls to go home, one attempted to
climb every fence while the other two plunged
bravely into the middle of the pond. They re-
port that ice water may be delicious in summer.
but it is not SO desirable for external use dur
ing the month of March.
The freshman classes in English have just
finished "The Merchant of Venice" It is an
interesting play and was we'll liked by all the
pupils.
Juniors Take Notice-Please do not slam the
freshies if you know what is best for you.
On Monday morning we noticed that all of
the pupils were as frisky ever. even though
they lost one hour of sleep. We won't get that
extra hour of sleep back until sometime next
fall.
The seniors feel rather blue for they fear
they will not have chance to attend school in
the new building. which is nearly completed.
1t is quite difficult to Keep our minds on
Caesar when the robins are singing gayly in
the treetops, and to remember that 'decurro''
means to rush up and ''existimo'' to think.
Mr.. Milne gave us talk Friday morning on
the bolshevists, or socialists, in our country
would rather hear Mr.. Milne talk on these SUBJ
jects than attend their classes.
Wednesday and Thursday great number of
the students developed astonishing interest
for that tuber, generally known as potato
and often termed as ''spud" or Irish lemon,
| according to the fancy of the speaker. Vainly
the pupils pleaded that they might be excused
from class to go down and listen to the speech
| es Princeton has occasion to believe that she
| will produce many agricu1turists.
Oh these family quarrels Sister classes
continually sparring with sister classes. Ju-
nlors and freshmen seem to have forgotten
| that family spats should not be made known to
| the public.
Some of the students studying Caesar had
| come to the point where they began to enjoy
fho Tot; ;o&o
age. but now that it has come to the parsng of
every word in the sentence, they are of an en-
| tirely different opinion concerning this subject.
Last Monday Miss Smith, one of our teachers.
gave talk to her classes about Fort Tconde-
roga. Many beautiful views of the surround
ing country were used to illustrate the talk It
was very interesting and very much appreciat-
ed by all present
The freshmen book reports were due last Fri
day and all we heard around assembly room
was, "Oh, today our book reports are DUE I
wonder if she will call on me first Oh, Just
| dread to give mine.''
Last week during the afternoon session of
| the sewing class incident occurred which
| caused a great uproar in the usually quiet class
room. Miss Staley, the teacher, who was in the
dressing room, rushed out to see what had
caused such clamor. On close observation
she found Madge Whitney sitting on the floor,
fragments of her chair scattered about the
room.
Gertrude Pierson lined up all our teachers
last Friday noon and took their picture Here's
hoping it's good.
We were rather surprised to look up and be-
hold man entering thel assembly room with
sack on his back. He must have thought we
pupils looked like queer potatoes from the ex-
preston on his face. but it was only a mistake.
as he had entered the wrong door.
