THE ZELIE-ANN LIFE AT Z. H. This here high school life ain't all it's cracked up to be. The general opinion is that it's all roses and cherries, but I'm here to tell you it's not. Take chemistry for instance. Now I'll just speak concerning my own experiences, but take it from me, all us girls have to go through the same thing. Not so much chem- istry itself but chemistry experiments. I take mine on Wednes- day, and I tell you that when that day comes around my life ain't worth livin'. It wouldn't be so bad if Art Z. fHe's my partnerb wouldn't make me do all the work. It's ME that has to run all over the laboratory hunting glass plates, beakers 'n things. It's ME that has to taste the stuff we make to find out whether it's nitric acid or hydrochloric. It was ME that had to sniff the chlorine bottle to find out whether there was anything in it or not. 1And may I add right here, there was, and I agree with the 'tbird that said chlorine has a peculiar odor. Very peculiar in fact.J But does Art appreciate all this? Not him! He's always making wise cracks like Jim, as a laboratory partner, you would make a nice ornament for the parlor. But that ain't all. It's ME that has to wash everything up, fas though us girls don't get enough dish-washing at homely and it's ME that Mr. Bartoo asks the questions. Take what happened the other day. Mr. Bartoo pointed to our evaporating dish, the stuff which we had just evaporated to dryness, and said: Helen, what should bc remaining in that dish 7 I looked at him and I looked at the dish, then I looked at the dish and again at him. Then I took a chance and smiled at Art, Sometimes a smile has some effect upon Art and some- times it doesn't, mostly it doesnit. But this time it did and as he reached past me to get something, sodium hydroxide, he whispered disgustedly in my ear. 'PXVISNT Y-SIX MM-. E. .-.,,,,,a -ai ,a.,iEiJ925 Sodium hydroxide, I murmured. Yes, sodium hydroxide, repeated Mr. Bartoo. After a while I grabbed that dish and held it up to Huck. Huck, I said, Why can't I see the sodium hydroxide in this dish 7 Jim, she smiled superior-like, For the same reason you can't see the air about you, 1t,S transparent. Then in a little bit Art said to me, It's a good thing you know what's good for you. t'Meanin' what?,' I asked. Meanin' that it is a good thing you didn't tell Mr. Bartoo that when I exaporated that water I had sodium hydroxide left. This statement left me more puzzled than ever. But I got it figured out at last and wrote up my experiment saying, 1 evaporated a few drops of water in my evaporating dish and found that there remained a transparent substance called sodium hydroxide? I'm not as dumb as I look. But you ain't heard nothin' yet. I wanna tell you right here that Art Z. lies, yes he does and he makes me lie, too. This for instance. One day we collected three bottles ot' oxygen and then thrust into one of the bottles a glowing splint which imme- diately went out. Then Mr. Bartoo asked Art tfor once he asked himj: 'tArthur, what happened when you thrust the glow- ing splint into the bottle 7 It burst into a flame, replied Art.
