SENIOR NOTES Of course the class of nineteen hundred aud twelve is the finest ever. It has more members than any other class since the Atwood High School has had a four year course, for there are nine of us—seven girts and two boys. That very fact would make 1912 a tine class if nothing else did for it is an established fact that girls are better than boys Even Mr. Hollister, the High School inspector concedes that, since he told one of the school board members that our High School showed improvement every time he came. What else could he mean but that this year’s graduating class shows an improvement over last year’s, of which seven-eighths were boys. A famous definition—A nunnery is a place where they keep crazy people. Lost:—On or before March 28, some place about the school house, one perfectly good decimal point. Finder please return immediately to the Physics class as they need one badly. Miss Koss—“Carl, how do you punctuate a quoted passage?” Carl Hassig—“Oh, 1 put exclamation marks around it.” Mr. Madden thinks Linda has a true scientific spirit. SIGHTS WORTH SEEING Linda not good-natured. Carl with blacking on his nose. Pauline—not giggling. Winifred with a low grade in Physics. SEVERAL LITTLE THINGS WH.CH MIGHT MAKE MR. MADDEN (’ROSS This—In Physics Class—“One of the ways heat is transmitted is by convention.” (Probably a political con vent ion.) Or this—The direct radiation of the sun on top of a mountain is more intense than at the base because the rays haven’t so far to go.” Carburr-ator for carburetor. Heard in lhe German II class: “He penetrated himself through the crowd. When Miss Koss says, “Carl sit on tlie floor,” does she mean it? Why does that Cicero class have to recite out in the main room when nobody has her lesson? How tbo»e s»irls in the Cicero class do hate prose day! Wonder where the girl's Baske Ball team is. Miss Boss—“Carl, if Hamlet had killed the king, while he was praying, what would have happened?” Carl—(wearily) “The play would have ended ” Pauline had an auto and the auto wouldn’t auto as an auto ought to a u to. When a blackberry is red it is green. We have been dreadfully troubled with a mouse in our English class. The first time we saw him. Mr. Mouse contented himself with running hack and forth close to the wall, while we were reciting. Miss Ross didn’t say anything but we all knew what she was thinking. Next day he became more bold and seemed very much interested in the waste basket about two feet from Miss Ross This time he nearly drove Helen. Linda and Florence into hysterics. Miss Ross bore it bravely but it is reported that when Mr. Mouse paid English II a short visit. Miss Bennett sat on her feet. Later, Nelle found all that was left of our little grey friend in her desk and nearly fainted from the shock but alas, the seniors were not there to see it. Florence is especially fond of fish ing worms. Mildred Riggs.
