"sprins may come and spring

may ~,
a March may shine or March
may snow"
That is something like the thing
'Izzy' Einstein, the relatively
bird Tor at least we think he was
the author of those classic re-
! marks though we are not sure)
told Thomas Nelson Page or
somebody, who. as well as we
remembr is the inventor of the
gasless gasoline reproducer Of cos
metic chronological waves, and it
refers pretty well to the High
| School life of the past week.
/ Credit for the classic lines next
preceding this article proper may
not be properly placed possibly,
for we relied upon our memory
for all the facts and our memory
has a habit of playing us false
once in a while but not often.
But be that as it may, the High
School runs as well if not better
on a rainy, snowy, slushy day
as it does at any time. Mr..
Treakle and the furnaces who
weer so foully robbed of vaea-
J ton are the only ones doing any
kicking.
Life is earnest. life is real,
Yes we like the teachers
speal,"
denotes very we'll the attitude
taken when it SHOWS, but when it
shines "The young mans fancy
lightly turns, who knows where. !"
All that is by the way of pre-
pairing to say only this: In spite
of the weather High School life
has been going good for the whole
week.
Here are some of the incidents
\ of interest:
