THROUGH THE EYES OF A JUNIOR O, those Seniors so conceited Think they're "it" end "H" alone But when a work has been completed They're not even in our^sone. 0, they are haughty! My I should say they are,1 And if that's the rule, Til never try To be a "stuck-pp" Senior. Their heights have made them disxy And they think they'll graduate But if some don't get busy They're going to "flunctiate." They sneer at us poor Juniors And give us pitying looks But this we consider beneath our notice And turn again to our books. They've put in an order for their rings Maybe for good-luck or for a curse 0 But all of us surely know one thing Their rings "can't" make them any 4 worse. 8 Most of them are going to college And we'll be their successors So in my closing verse, I allege Fm sorry for the college professors.

There was a large number of patrons and friends >f the school present, and several ad. iitional narfes were added to th^ il ready long list of names which ?ompose this great organisation, rhe program which was rendered at ;he dose of the meeting was horoughly enjoyed by all. Professor Bain, conducted chapel sxerciaea last Thursday morning in a nost pleasing manner. Aftef read ng the Bible, he gave us a moat help 'ul talk, which, if we would put in >ractice, would gr#Stly improve our haracter. Enthusiasm is raised to a high legree in both of our literary socie ies. Although sometimes there is n angry word passed between mem en of the two societies, yet there is, in the whole, friendliness between all nd there has not yet been a "vol anic outburst? of any kind. Splen id programs are given in both iolumbian and Hesperian. Misses Louise Buifaloe and Bessie laddy were the guests* at dinner unday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. . T. Parker. j ~ "Oh, I have Qhristmaa in my ones" is the plea raised by the Shool children against any teacher 'ho is inclined to be hard, and the sense for all unlearned lessons, for ho could expect one'to study when ie time for "Old Santa's" visit is rawing so near? It is almost be ond the realms of possibility.' Dur ig the remaining two weeks before hristmas holidays we need the good ishes of the people "of the toWn to sip us carry on our work. We are sorry to report tljat S|iss ilda Bailey, the second grade teach has been compelled to return to sr home in Wakefield, Va., on ae >unt of illness. We sincerely hope sr indisposition will prove to be sthing serious. Mrs. D. P. Baker is ipplyingrin her absence. Several cases' of the "flu" have sen reported in and around the >wn. Also there haVe been a" few ises in the school. We earnestly >pe that it cin be checked. ,# "THE FUNNY-BONE" Official The teacher asked her class to ex lain the word "bachelor," and was ery much amused when a little girl nssrered: "A bachelor iajq very sppy man." "Where did you learn that?" asl^d ie teacher. "Father told me." . Safety First During a fire prevention campaign ie teacher had impressed upon her L upilg the slogan, "Don't use matcher _ srelessly. Remember the great ~ hicago fire." Later, during a health campaign ne slogan, "Don't spit," was intro uced. "Why do we use this slogan, ohnny?" asked the teacher. "Don'^ pit?remember the great Johnstown ood," gravely answered Johnny. An Ancient Criminal "Now, Edward," said the teacher, can you tell me who Atlas was?" "Yes, ma'am," answered EdVard; e was a footpad." "A what?" queried the teacher. "A footpad," repeated Edward I H? help the earth." The Inspired Profrsm Maker From the commencement program I f an Illinoia High School: Lddreae "Efficient Education" = Professor J. S. Y.? > _ University of M 'Silent Now the Drowsy Bird"-. Offenbach As It Is Spoken It was in the little but overcrowded Jassroom of an East Side New York rablic school. The teacher looked out ipon a group of eager faces as she' rat the question: ' "And no*, children, can any of rou tell me what is a stoic?" Only one hand went up. "Does only Abie Gluts know what i stoic is?" Silence. "Well, Abie, tell your classmates vhat is a stoic." "Please, teacher," said Abie trl imphantly. "A stoic is a boid whot| )rings it th' babies."?Judge. ? ^ SANTA WILL EAT AT THE Manhattan Cafe ? ?' t ?i".?? And 1m will be getting a square meal when he does.
