sSHOSHONE HIGH SCHOOL
: NOTES

u
Plenty of WHOLESOME FOOD to eat
Plenty Of WATER Plenty of SLEEP;
Healthy and strong, my body will
KEEP.
The free public schools
Were not made for fools,
Nor for people who wish
That schools were for fish.
But for people who learn
That in a large firm.
The employees went to school
And learned the golden rule.
In l492
They had no public schools for you
But in 1921
The schools are not for fun,
But to teach you to take your place
In this grand World Wide race,
And call yourself an American.

The Sophomore class held a debate
during class Monday The question
was Resolved that men make better
teachers than women" The negative
side succeeded in making the most
points. therefore proving that women
make as good teachers as men do.
The Grand Debate
zone dark stormy night as I was
y liking along the street 1 heard some
loud voices coming from the base-t
ment of a nearby house. Walking over
there 1 looked down through the
window of the basement and I saw
very queer sight. There were about a
dozen queer little people hopping and
skipping about the room. so crawled
down into the basement and hid be-
hind big box in one corner.
1t seemed as if all the parts of {
speech had assembled for a ball and
a debate afterward. When all the
PARTS had assembled. there were the
Nouns and their children, the Pro- .
nouns. the Verbs came with their
cousin, Adverb. the Conjunetions came ?
With their partners, the Propositions
Ind lnterjection came in with the Ad-
ect1ve. and last ofall old Judge Ar <
icle came stalking in. Interjection :
hought it was going to be a masquer- p
Ide ball so he had dressed up in a suit
I exclamation marks. The crowd got $
loisy as the time went on and they
ad to throw Interjection out. They k
declared also that Mr.. Verbs son.
Amt, did not have a graceful form. s.
o out he went. Then old man Verb a
ecame very angry and threw out the
'ronouns. "His'n, Your'n and Our'n,
nd Youse." &
Pretty soon Mr. Adverb tried to e.
iodify conjunction and he was thrown p
ut only to be brought back because CT
e was related to important Mr.. Verb. OF
