SCHOOL NOTES
(By T. T. and D. W.


The High school was honored by
the gracious presence of Mr.. Mat
thews on Friday morning last. He
spoke to us on the subject of "Cal-
ifornia Missions" This address
was very interesting as we'll as ed
ucational, and was greatly enjoy
ed by all. He is offering a prize
of five dollars to the student writ
ing the best paper on the subject
or any other topic pertaining to
California. This was indeed an
agreeable surprise to the High
school and those participating in
the contest will be untiring in
their efforts to win the prize.
The past year has witnessed
many brilliant celebrations in the
High school, but no one will dis
pute the fact that the party given
by the Freshmen and Sophomores
on May seventh was one of the
most thrilling and enjoyable of
all of them. These two classes
not only maintained their reputa-
tion as excellent entertainers but
have increased it a hundredfold.
Join with ours your lusty voices,
fellow students, and write the
names of these Freshmen and
Sophomores in the fire of enthu-
siasm that they may never perish
from the background of student
spirit. After some joyful and
pep-giving games were played, re-
freshments were served and we
gladly INDUCED in the sumptuous
repast. Everything from pickles
to brick ice-cream tempted the ap-
petites-and through all the fun
and hilarity ran a spirit of good
fellowship, that so distinguishes
every High school stunt.
Then follows blue Monday!
Most of Mondays accidents have
been proven due to too much
joy between Friday night and
Monday morning.) A threatening
black cloud hung over the school
on Monday and even extended far
into the following day until the
dear Dean McCracken was FORUM
ate enough to get us couple of
recitation periods. Dean Nc
Cracken from the State Teachers
College of Colorado, talked to us
in regard to the teachers voca-
tion, it's honors, it's pleasures, and
it's opportunities of real service
to humanity. Though he did not
in the least lead us to believe that
the teachers life is bed of
thornless roses, he has been sue
cessful in winning many of our
fair damsels to his creed.
Great was the excitement of all
conc erned upon hearing of the ar
rival of a new prof" yesterday
No wonder! We haven't had a man
around here for so long that it
seems quite novel sensation
and altogether a pleasing one.
Conditions are looking quite fav-
orable. He has been here almost
three days and no one of us has
been scolded a 'teeny" bit
yet. Aren't we improving though ?
This refers especially to the AL
zebra class.
Miss Miller-To take a concrete
example: Suppose you were
watching tramp walking along
railroad track, and you saw him
first on one side and then on the
other, what inference would you
draw?
Pigey-"That he couldn't walk
straight"
We are glad to welcome Louise
back again after her little stolen
vacation of week in the "City of
Lights" Although we did think
it quite shame that she should
be having a grand and glorious
time for a whole week while we
poor mortals were compelled to
go to school every day and go
through the usual routine of
studying, reciting, and all such
tortures. This week Esther is
having her turn in the mad search
of fine new "togs." Oh we'll, our
turn is coming. Every dog has
his day. D,n't you wish 20.
were a Senior just about to grad
uate?
Lorraine's smiling face beams
again in the Senior row. Welcome
home! Fair ore.
Hoping to be with you again
