Only three weeks of school left!
and one Of them will be exams! Oh,
those exams! Almost everyone is
harboring a secret dread lest he should
funk. After another week has passed
it is very probable that lights will
burn longer at night and the alarm
clocks will be set at an earlier hour
in the morning.
A very fine display of shirts was
shown at the high school this week,
for all the boys took off their coats.
This is sure sign of spring.
The Glee club is practicing songs for
commencement They are planning
on giving the seniors some very choice
selections.
OF all the pupils taking typewriting
it is thought that everyone, or at least
almost everyone, will finish the re-
quired number Of lessons. There is a
large percentage Of the class far in
advance of the required work.
Did you ever hear of such thing :?
The pupils in chemistry were dyeing
the other day! Not the real dying
they attempted to dye cloth, but dyed
their fingers more than the cloth.
Miss Allen seems inclined to worry
that her sociology pupils will not have
enough to keep them busy after they
complete their text, and they seem to
be having. great difficulty in convincing
her of her mistake.
Nournful signs escape the pupils
lips. Their faces are as expressive of
rush and anxiety as those of nervous
women trying to cross Nicollet avenue
at noon. And why such a melancholy
attitude? They are being repeatedly
reminded that next week the exams.
begin.

One would feel at home if he should
enter the building some day and smell
the fragrant odors from the cooking
room; but all he gets is the smell, not
the taste.

Although great war had to be
waged before the necessity Of thrift
was brought home to the American
people, thrift is d characteristic which
should flourish equally we'll in times
of peace as in war times. By thrift is
meant simply that way of living which
Systematically transfers a portion of
ones income to ones capital. It is
not inconsistent with generosity; it is
not a synonym of niggardliness. The
present day is demanding thrift and
economy in almost every line of work.
The worthless, the shiftless, the in
sincere, the always needy, never get
ahead. When you see man holdings

mind he's a big man. Why is it that
so many successful business men place
so much emphasis on thrift? Simply
because Thrift is the very basis of
their success. Success is more than
money; but one must save money and
have money to gain success.

All classes are reviewing for the
final examinations. They seem to have
forgotten many things.
