There are English maxims, too, which would he uni(|ue and appropriate. Scholar (translating) — “And before the caravan walked a young chieftain leading a lion by a string which he had bought.” How can some teachers be so cruel? Is it not inconsiderate to rouse a scholar in Physics from sweet dreams of a land where there is no specific gravity or in- ertia? ( )ne of the young men in the Senior Class in General History is able to an- swer all Biblical students who wish to know when the Golden Rule was first mentioned. ’98. A ' e note two new travellers on the road that leads to Technology, in the persons of George Lloyd and Walton Sears. It is doubtful if there has been a bet- ter es.say read in school than that on “The Star in the East.” ' p8 ' s class meetings are noted for smallness of attendance. ■Anticipation is soon to give jdace to realization in regard to ’98’s class pic- ture. ’ 99 - Teacher (to ])upil in beginning Trench) — “How do you translate ‘Une tasse de lait et tin verre d’eau ' P” Pupil — “A cup of milk is a glass of water. readier — “Indeed! Look again. I wouldn ' t say anything against the milk- men.” We learn from a pupil in the Sopho- more Roman History class that Queen Cleopatra was the brother of Ptolemy Dionysus. Teacher in Roman History — “.And when the soldier found Gains Marius, what did Marius say?” Pupil (replying) — “just tell them that you saw me sitting on the ruins of Car- thage.” The following lines were inspired in one of the class members on hearing the preceding remark : GALWS M.VRIN.S. He sat on the ruins of Carthage, Weary, and all alone. A soldier passing by that wai ' . Told him to go straight home. ' I ' he old man raised his angry eyes, And shook his staff of horn ; And he answered thus the soldier. In accents full of scorn : “Ju-St tell them that you saw me a-sitting on a stone. They don ' t want me Roma ' any more. Just whisper, if you get a chance, to Cinna dear, and .say, I need him as I never did before.” 0?tr Pyescription business better than ever before; we give speciat attention to t iis part of our work, and use onty drugs of best guatity.

ARLINGTON IIIGLI SCHOOL CLARION. 9 VVe cannot all be historic boys, we cannot all be great, but we can, at least, follow the poet ' s advice: “Be good, sweet child. And let who will be clever. Do noble things, not dream them. All day long. And so make life, death. And the vast forever, One glad, sweet song.” David Elwell, Class of ’oo. T. M. Canniff, Hair Dresser.

Pupil (after a vain search in his brain for some familiar name) — “Paderewski.” There are two pupils in the Senior Class who ol)ject strongly to irregular plurals. One of these young gentlemen talks about “flocks of gooses”; the other about “foots of a perpendicular.” Perhaps some of our scholars who are a little misty on the geography of Scot- land would like to know that the river Till is perpendicular to the Tweed. Scholar (translating) — “And Aga- memnon sacrificed a cattle.” Teacher — “How many cattle did you .say?” Scholar — “Why, one.” Senior Class in Physics — Nota P ene; When you are doing experiments, espe- cially one which takes three hours, it is of great assistance to remember the motto, “Possunt cpiia ])osse videntur.” And apropos of mottoes, ought not the Seniors to have one of their own. Besides the one above there are many others, equally as good: “ Tmis in actionc con- sistit,” courage consists in action; “Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito,” yield not to adversity, but press on the more bravely; “Veritas vincit,” truth Mara Harrington, Practical House, Si O ' ft aud Decorative Painters, Hard-wood Finishers, Kalsontiners, (llasiers.

ARUNGTON HIGH SCHOOL CLARION. 1 1 ’oo. The meetin.s s of the Class of 1900 are especially enjoyable to observers. Order and stillness pervade the atnios]:)here, parliamentary rules are followed with extreme rigidity, and the sober coun- tenances of the assembly show the inter- est they have in settling ' the af¥airs of the nation. The Class of 1900 asks. “Why do the members of the other classes rush into our room during the most impressive parts of our meetings, and, after staring about, retire, bursting with laughter? Ts there anything extraordinary in our pro- ceedings?” Miss Lucile (julliver has sent her P. P. C. cards to her school friends, among whom she was (pute a favorite. ( )ne of our class has learned that Juno was the “queen of thieves” (Thebes). Teacher — “Where is London situ- ated?” Scholar — “Southern part of Ger- many.” Evidently our sopranos have not be- come thoroughly imbued with the mar- tial spirit of “On to the Hattie! On! Their attack on the high notes more nearly resembles the mournful wail of dire despair than the vigorous battle- cry of an invincible army. llowever, animus crescit paulatim, and we may be assured that, through diligent practice and perseverance, they will yet attain their “lofty aims.
