Ocala Twenty Years Ago

with Apologies to Evening Starr
Yesterday afternoon little Miss
Minnie Stovall entertained number
Of her friends at soap bubble party.
Several hours were pleasantly spent,
blowing the pretty bubbles, after
which refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served. For displaying the
most skill in the game enjoyed dur
ing the afternoon, Hester Dewey was
awarded the first prize, a paper doll
set.
The science classes of the high
school this morning made pilgrim
age to the fire station to inspect the
new horse. The journey proved very
profitable as we'll as enjoyable. 1t has
been suggested by some of our lead
ing citizens that special day be set
aside so that everyone may have a
chance to see the new animal of which
our city is justly proud.
! Quite a commotion was caused this
morning when Laurie Izlar brought a
frog into school unbeknowst to the
teacher. Several of the little girls
were so paralyzed with fright that
they had to be sent home Such Incl
dents as there should serve as a les
son to us, that we should teach our
children at home not to meddle with
venomous amphibians.
And Thanksgiving is over (long
mournful sigh Monday morning we
go back to school full of spirit and
turkey and cranberry sauce and ev-
|erything good. In making our hasty
descent from out of the clouds, where
the holidays, Thursday and Friday,
have placed US, back to the earth and
school again let's try to bring with
US determination to begin work
afresh with vim so that we may be
able to weather the storm of the COM
ing semester examinations.

A great many speculations have
been made as to the whyfore of the
sudden cold wave. Winter is probably
competing with the manufacturers of
rouge in making rosy cheeks for the
fair sex.
William Timmons, commonly known
as "sweet William" complains that he
is not as popular with the faculty as
some students. The explanation is
simple, he should remember his name
is "bill." P. S.-And the teachers
haven't received their salaries yet!
1t would not be unwise for the
students of the o. H. S. to be equip
ped with gas masks if cats must in
sist upon dying within the building
We hope no one will gain the impres
sion that they are trying to compete
with Dudley Coles hair tonic.
1t shows in your face if you're honest
{: 1t shows m your face how you feel
S 1t shows in your face if you're crooked
1t shows in your face if you'd steal
II may be all the face you've got,
{ And homely one at that
D But-the face you wear helps you
fortune,
4 So smile, and take off your hat!
