Along about now there comes d feeling in the air that bodes i'll for the ambitious. It avails them noth- ing to shrug it off, and apply them selves even more vigorously to the grindstone. for this peculiar ''phen- omena" will pursue them whereso- ever they direct their faltering loot steps. It will cause them to gaze longingly out the window at the various beauties of nature, to snuff file a little on the way to classes and to hear strange and beautiful music ringing in their ears. Do not be alarmed if this strange malady applies to you. It is merely a case of seasonal Spring fever" some thing that comes every year to even the most diligent of students, and will pass gradually as the day Of final exams draws near.
 However, don't give up hope of ever learning anything again. II your wits seem dull beyond repair, pick yourself up, and refuse to fail in A permanent rut. This period of mind-fuzziness will disappear even tally with the approach of summer so reflect on that when the future seems black.
 I know it is torture to drag your thoughts back from world of sun, blue, sparkling skies, and fresh, in yigorating air to the dusty, boring (to some) routine of the class room, but learning must be had and tests must be passed, and the world of dreams will not help you in the world of the present. Recognize your state of mind, and though it may drive you mad" at times, do your best to overcome it before the time approaches for final exams, and before your affairs have slid too far to recover.
 JUNIOR JROM
 Last Saturday evening, March 4, was the date of our long planned Junior Prom.
 The hall was decorated with ced- ar boughs and green crepe paper, a. round which were many colored lights, and the band stand was done in green streamers with a row of boughs and lights around the bot tom of the stage. The main feature of the hall was a large scene of the beautiful hills and water of Alaska, as seen on a warm, sunny day. The picture was drawn by James Gillon and we especially want to thank him for giving his time and ability which was the cause of much ad miration. Also, during the evening punch was sold.
 There was a grand turnout and we Juniors wish to express our ap- preciation to everyone in Wrangell and Petersburg who attended and helped make our dance the success it was.
