# School News Budget.
Most of the influenza patients and
afraid they might patients" have
returned to school, so the number Of
absentees have been greatly decreased.
Speaking Of school spirit, the male
students Of the Princeton high school
have just begun to realize the lack Of
it in their school, so they are making
up for the deficit by wearing orange
and black ties, which float proudly in
front Of them as they go marching to
their classes. A rumor is afoat that
they intend to raid Jacks drug store
and deprive the said store of its re-
manning stock. If this is true it is
common opinion that the fair sex
should also invest in "a little enthusi-
assn, although we all realize that some
of them exhibited fair amount at the
basket ball game last Friday night,
and we are prone to say that their sup
ply is not so readily, exhausted as that
of the opposite sex.
Last Wednesday evening after bas-
ketball practice the girls had an ex-
citing experience. One Of them turned
the hot water faucet of the shower on
as far as it would go, and when she
tried to turn it off it was so hot she
couldn't turn it. One of the girls went
out in search of board, but finding
none, brought, a map. It was suggest
ed that water might ruin the map, so
finally plank was found. The steam
was filling the hall and class rooms,
and after half an hours hard work the
water was shut off and the girls went
home, sadder but wiser.
The girls usually come up from
cooking class with the expression of
the "angel cat that ate the angel
canary" for they cook the most de-
licious things ever concocted. At
least, that is the impression we less
fortunate ones get from their glowing
accounts of their several successes.
The Milaca boys and girls, after
meeting with sad defeat at Prince
ton, started for home about midnight
in cars. They shoveled snow for sew
eral miles but gave it up as hopeless
task. With the aid of skeleton key
they entered school house nearby,
stayed until morning and were then
taken home in a bobsled. The cars,
or part of them, can still be seen in a
snowbank few miles north of Prince
ton.
Scenes have changed little in the
high school assembly room. During
the first fifteen minutes in the after
noon we are allowed to sit and study
with the latest tunes from the victrola
floating around us. The only trouble
is that the music doesn't last long
enough and most of the pupils forget
to study while listening to it.
The juniors are studying Plot Sc
! quence in English, and are very busy
outlining sketches and the play of
Macbeth. The character sketches are
wonderful; of course you know we are
not to be classed as equals with
Shakespeare, but we might be classed
with Alger.
The sophomores are learning to
beat time to poetry. With the ap-
preaching spring weather, and all the
technicalities Of meter which the Eng
fish II classes are rapidly acquiring,
we look for some real poetry.
Several chemistry students have
suffered embarrassing moments when
their classmates got the laugh on
them when they were unfortunate in
not reading the experiment right and
got the scare of their lives. Chemicals
are rather particular in how they want
to be handled and sometimes they re-
volt against the actions of the ex-
perimenter. So far, we are glad to
note, none of these revolutions proved
serious. Students Press Committee.
