Dear Readers of B IL. S. hottest
We came to school this morning eX-
pectirg TO have Physics class but Pro-
fessor Tenny had not yet returned. so
we spent the first two periods in gon-
eral conversation.
We dabbled some with plastering In
advanced arithmetic class
BLOOD Pressure was the subject In
Physiology.
The Life of johnson proved. to be
very interesting. our English Litera-
ture would have you think so at any
rate.
Tuesday. a
We Just had lessons and lessons to-
day. Nothing new
Wednesday.
The Physics class endeavored to re-
cite this morning.
The iinr;,ss Ii class began reading
Macculay's Life of Samuel Johnson
Tuesday and we had some more Of
same today
No doubt these notes seem as dry TO
you as the weather is outside, but
spring fevor seems to prevail among
US
Thursday.
The wind blew so hard this morning
that the resistance which II offered.
succeeded in making some of us late
to school.
We cut magnetic lines Of force in
Physics class. The current produced
In said class was not sufficient to de-
fleet some OF the boys eye lids, at any
rate they went to sleep.

Did you know that even Physics In
governed by law We found that out
this morning since we wero Obliged to
write all the laws we have had this
year In said subject We hung wall
paper this morning, so to speak.
when Miss Davis told us that we
had TO write ten page biography on
tho Life Of johnson" we began to
regret the day that we were born"
In Physiology we have been trying
to imagine ourselves living after hav-
ing our tonsils, adenoids appendix, and
parts of our brain removed, also with
out thyroidglands and breathing arti-
fetal air. II won't be long before we
will be able to imagine ourselves as
'petrified birds, singing petrified songs
In pctrifod trees.
As YOU know all the Seniors news
shall close.
Most sincerely yours,
Gail Hodge.

noted long ago that influenza in its
epidemic form did not constitute an
exception to the common rule govern
ing epidemic diseases, which were
obviously associated with persons and
their migrations. What the early stu

covering the epidemic OF 1892, which

of similarly constructed records Of the

estimated ut from n to three weeks,

Any philosophy which accepts the
principle that the great, Overshadow-
ing events Of life are subject to an in
telligent controlling influence must Of
necessity grant that the same principle
applies to the most commonplace and
everyday experiences. The course Of
the greatest stream Of events may
well be detected by incidents so COM
monplace as to quite escape the notice
Of the casual observer.
Some such thought as this comforted
me-or. at least, would have comforted
