School Notes
The Last Squirt

We, the Staff, do not think that it
is proper to speak of the class work
as activities rather seems like
nightmares" The extra work i'm
posed on us had made us much more
active during study hours and because
of that fact, our minds are in such
a frazzled state that we are forced to
spend our recitation periods as a
"slumber hour" The teachers of
course think that we have not eff
GENTLY prepared our lessons but in
reality we have worked too hard.
The result is a serious misunder-
standing. Of course the Seniors are
getting ready to "sign off" but they
find that the making chorts of the
English writer is great aid in help
ing them wind up the Engnsn
course most successfully
The French II class is extremely
busy. Of course there are deviations,
for instance, in set of review ques-
lions this question was asked: Julia
has red hair and blue eyes. Her
friend has black hair and her eyes are
the same color as Julia's. What col
or are Julia's friends eyes?" Just
about as bad as asking when was
the War of 1922"
The Physics class and Social Sci
ence classes are following suit by
Just reviewing"
1t is unusually rather difficult to
get the Sophomores to say much
about their class work. Their teach
ers, too, seem to find charm in the
word review" Of course, the Soph-
ignores are not accustomed to hard
Senior High work so they find it
father monotonous. One Sophomore
said the only reason they laughed any
more was because they were tired OF
sitting still.
w. c. T. u. Presents Awards Tuesday
On Tuesday morning, during the
assembly period the awards offered
by the local Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union were presented to the
Senior High School by Mr.. Wichman.
First and second prizes of $500 and
$1.0O respectively were awarded to
the two best themes on total abstin-
ence from both divisions, the ninth
and tenth grades, and the eleventh
and twelfth.
From the ninth and tenth grades,
Maxine Pettis received first prize and
Audrey Cole, second; from the eleven
tn and twelfth grades, Freda Laudon
received first and Margaret Tiffany
second.
After the presentation Of the
awards, Mrs. Sparks, the president OF
the w. C. T. U. briefly addressed the
students and faculty, thanking them
for their efforts, and remarking upon

NV Life Is Like a Merry Co. Round
NV life is like merry go-round-
The same each night, the same each
day.
Sometimes, though, I step to the
ground
Just for bit of extra play.
Though 1 am dressed in kings array
1 come straight back to life's old way
It matters not what thrills I've found
I'll always come back to the merry
go-round.
I find the rhythm of each horse
Takes me up and down, better ano
worse,
Sometimes though I ride in reverse;
IT'S then life has black, black course
True, when work is eternal strife
l board the "lover's tub" of life
And ride giddily for an hour
Just to come back to life, still sour
But before old age DER takes me,
From this deep, well-worn rut I'll
bound,
And from these feelings I'll be free
To seek a better merry-go-round.

These papers have been sent to the
district, and if they win place there
they will go to the state, until they
reach the national contest. We see
no reason why we could not get
place in the state since we did so last
year.
Thursday, May 23rd, will be Senior
Day at the High School and all the
Seniors will go for a picnic in Ramsey
State Park. A class program on
which Erma Sampson, Mabel Wilcox,
Elton Bode, Hazel Woefel, Janette
Ruder and Lyle Kramer are working
will be given in the forenoon before
the High School assembly. After the
program all will go to the park for a
good time. This promises to be a
great event and all the Seniors ito

are looking forward to it with pleas

The school exhibit which was given
last Tuesday evening was well attend
ed by the public. We are sure that
those who came do not regret it as
they have seen what the high school
is doing in it's daily work.
Notice to Parents: Please get the
alarm clock in working order, because
the States begin Friday. Maybe the
fact that some come at 8 o'clock will
inconvenience you, but it will soon be
over.
The Juniors are working with their
usual vigor. One of their many ex-
cellent poems is being published in
this issue. They are now intent upon
English III review. Just step into the
American History class. The intense
review brings up many chances for
argument. However, Mr.. Voxland
very often sees fit to stop the argu-
ment before it becomes to involved
for everyone to key up with it.
The Shorthand I has finished re-
viewing the first eight lessons( there
are twenty. Thursday they took a
200 word test covering that portion
of the book.

L

Margaret Tiffany, in behalf of the
high school, accepted the plaque ex-
pressing gratitude for our high
schools being able to posses such an
ornament, not only to commemorate
the work of those who represented
us before, but also to add to the dis
play of silver cups and other awards
in our new show case.
The students all wish to express

HUMPHREY BREAKS
 COURSE RECORD
Local Golfer Shoots a 69 at
 Madison to Set New Mark
BY ,JIGGIR

Howard s. Humphrey, vice presi- dent of the Parker Shirt Co.,, cele- brated the first day of his vacation yesterday by making new record for the golf course in Madison, when fe shot a 69. He went out in S5 and returned in S4.
 Last year the course was lengthen- cd from IA to IS holes and a par of e established, which has never been eaualled. Playing with B. P. Merri- man, of Waterbury, former Connect ;cut state champion, who shot v, Mir. Humphrey collected five pars and four birdies for the best score that has been made on the new lay out.
 Until recently 1 4 handicap man. Humphrey has developed into one of the ranking players at Shuttle Mea dow this year. His sudden rise n golfing ranks dates back to a day last year when some of his business friends presented him with a match ed set of clubs.
 He practiced with them during the latter part of last season and this spring, Humphrey hit his stride with his new outfit He shot in the low 70s to win the tournament staged at Shuttle Meadow last month by th2 executives of the Connecticut Colt association. Then he won the Yale class day tourney over the Larch- mont course.
 His next conquest gave him the presid dents trophy at the local club which he won in June. Since then he has been turning in cards with scores around 75 in the Twiligh, tournament which has been running for the past four weeks at Shuttle Meadow.
 His record this season will add another threat to Ted Hart's crown when the cham pionship of Shuttle Meadow is decided next month.
