There was a little pelican,
Who lived by the sea;
And he ate the little fishes
for dinner and for tea.


FOR dinner and for tea.
So the fishes called counsel,
And struck upon a plan
To fool the little pelican,
Who walked upon the sand.
They sent a delegation
To shark deep down below.
He said he'd carry out their plans;
They LATED and LATED and So
The pelican went fishing,
The shark grabbed him by the legs,
And made him promise not to fish,
And ruined both his pegs.
And SO the little pelican
Can eat no fishes now
For he realizes If he does,
The shark will cause a row.

The appearance of swarms of wasps
throughout certain rooms of the High
School is threatening to destroy the
morale of the Student Body. The wasps
formerly confined themselves to the
seventh and eighth grade room, but
have since spread to the Science room
and the Auditorium, and few VEN
turesome ones to the English room.
Whether they are in search of an edu-
cation, or merely are pleased with their
quarters, is matter of speculation.
They resist all efforts at extermina-
ton, as there always seem to be more
to occupy the places of their dead
brothers. The students maintain an
optimistic attitude, and though it is
difficult to study with wasps swarm

Louise Walker has returned from Sc
attic after months absence. We hear
the weather over there has been Won
derful but could that alone account
for those two dirnples in her elbows?
Between fear Of wasp Invasion
and the learning of Chaucer, the Ju-
nior and Senior classes seem to be
running around in circles. At least, a
few deem 1t necessary to change their
seats whenever Phillip Hemker goes
wild and tries to irritate our pets that
go mingling around the Assembly dur

Following the suggestion of an as
signment in Civics, the class is busily
engaged in making plans for the i'm
provement of the school buildings and
grounds. This is being done under Mr..
Nelson's supervision. We are devising
ways and means of eliminating the
rocks and weeds, making plans for
sowing more lawn and for erecting a
flagpole. From time to time plans for
changing the position of the flag so
that it would not become so dark from
the smoke have been discussed, but
nothing constructive has hitherto been
accomplished. We hope that the flag
pole will solve the problem. The class
is very interested in this enterprise,
and we hope we can execute these
plans successfully.

FRESHMEN "COME-oUT"

The Freshman party on Friday even
ing, September 30, marked the last
stages in the initiation begun last We'd
nesday. The party, sponsored by the
sophomores, was the channel by means
of which the Freshmen were finally
received as full-hedged members Of
the Student Body.
The group contained goodly num-
Der of half-amused, half-anxious par
ents, assembled to enjoy the fun and
protect their children in case the Soph-
ignores became over-zealous In their
activities. The initiation ceremonies
were submitted to in good spirit by
the Freshmen, Raymond Broughton,
Fred Gilhuly and Billy Keal being the
only rebellious ones.
The rest of the evening was given
over to dancing, under canopy of
green and orange ribbons, arranged in
the form of a spider web.
Refreshments of sandwiches, green
and orange jello, cake and chocolate
were served by the Freshmen girls as
a last gesture of serviture on their
part.

Died of a Newspaper Diet.

That the fallow deer in captivity
have some quaint tastes in the matter
of food is shown by the fact that one
of these animals in the London Zoolog-
ical Garden died from eating waste
paper, the post mortem revealing that
the stupid creature had consumed is
pounds of newspapers and paper bags.
Snakes occasionally indulge in can
nibalism, but appear none the worse
for it. A hamadryad accidentally
placed in quarters occupied by a num-
ber of cobras. promptly ate several of
the latter and lived to ponder on the
deed. Incidentally, the society also
pondered somewhat deeply on this deed,
for the cannibals meal cost several
hundred dollars
Another queer meal was attempted
by python who did his best to swal-

unwonted task was beyond him when
he had engulfed half Of the material.
