PURPLE AND WHITE. 17 see several girls escaping through the bushes. When Miss Bovard awoke to con- sciousness she found herself swinging 10 mid-air. After that we had all kinds of games and races. Kenneth Hughes and Ben Preciado won the three-legged race, Miss Kickhoff the egg race, and Miss Bovard the old ladies’ race. The girls proved too much for the boys in the baseball game, but got their money's worth in sore fingers. Of what happened on the way home I leave my readers to imagine. We pulled in about eight o’clock to the tune of— Ki-yi! Ki-yi! Kieyippi! Ki-yi! Madera High School Hi! hi! hi! It will be many a day before we forget that picnic. Taking everything into con- sideration it was a most glorious day, and every one who did not go missed the best thing of the season. Were AFTBR SCHOOL SESSIONS. BY FRANK J. COOK. gs an auxiliary to the regular school routine the faculty has established what is known among the pupils as the “after school session.” The length of its duration depends upon the deportment of the scholars. It be- eins at 3:30 o'clock and usually adjourns in time for school to begin next day. Those who remain until supper time get history served on toast, together with cold shoulder. This is the invariable bill-of-fare, and while it may seem inadequate to many, we feel that two history lessons a day are quite sufficient when served so charmingly. After the evening meal a petition of rights is presented by the pupils, and read by the secretary, when it is thrown open to the house for argument, and is warmly dis- cussed pro andcon. It usually reads some- thing like this: We, The pupils of the Madera High School, do most humbly petition the Hon- orable Faculty for certain rights now denied us. Firstly, We are: kept after school for an almost endless period for disturbances (al- leged to have been committed by us) in words beyond the narrow horizon of our intellectual understanding. Secondly. We do not believe we should be forced to study inside when it is more pleasant in the park. Thirdly. We do not believe that chew- ing gum in school is detrimental to any piece of furniture, save our own individual digestive systems, which are our own per- sonal property’ and should be controlled by us. Lastly. We believe as long as twenty- four hours make a day that forty pages of of history, one hundred lines of Latin, twenty pages of English, with an essay on the New Comes, ten experiments in Physics and a chapter in Civil Government should make a day’s work. SN ence 3 BXCHANGES. Our list of exchanges has increased during the past year, a fact which pleases the editor to no small extent. The exchange serves as a connecting link between the schools, and by these we are able to gaze into the inner life of our co-workers. Although we do not feel competent to criticise our exchanges thoroughly, still we cannot refrain from offering some friendly advice. We notice that in some of our exchanges adver- tisements appear on the cover. We would suggest that the editors refrain from putting the adver- tisements there, as it spoils the appearance of.the paper. We would suggest that the editors refrain from printing their paper with the table of contents on the cover. Placed there it detracts from the artistic appearance of the paper. The Owl, of Fresno, our nearest neighbor, con- tains a large number of interesting stories. The prize story which appeared shows that there isa great deal of enthusiasm among the students. The Oculus, from the Gilroy High School, seems to live up to its name. It shows that the editors take a lively interest in their work. The Owl, of Hoits school, has a very artistic cover. The monogram gives a neat appearance to the paper. Among the exchanges received this year are: Aegis, Acorn, Atheneum, Advocate, Comet, Sea Urchin, Forum, Optimus, Pennant, Russ, Tocsin, Sequoia, Shamrock, Olla Podrida, Janus, Oak, Adjutant, Occident, Breeze, Wild Cat, Record, Dictum Est, and High School Bell.
