In 7-N .jifxagv , fs 'v't by School, Aside from Study. Q. .. , Lf 'X 0 'HE High School boys fun begins when, as a Freslnnan, he enters that institution. XVhen he arrives at the school gate, he -- F-W1 .e 4 J Q . - X ts I 56 hir' lf O tiki? we LU Q5 5 GJ finds that is impossible to reach the door without passing along a narrow walk. Standing by the railing on both sides of this walk is a reception committee, consistingiof Sophomores, juniors and Seniors. Every Freshman who enters the building must run the gauntlet. XVhile he is being pushed from one side of the walk to the other, the victim consoles himself with the thought that the next year will find him on the offensive instead of tl1e defensive. B Following the directions of the teacher, who stands at the door, the stranger climbs two llights of stairs and discovers that he is in the attic,l' the abode of the Freshmen. If he is bent on having fun, he soon finds that the reference table is an excellent place to whisper, for he can pile up books to protect himself from the teacher's gaze. Many a note he writes, and many a time he is caught in the act of passing these messages to his neighbors. Different punishments are indicted for such misdeeds. At one time he is ordered to stand in a corner until he sees a classmate whispering and reports himg but his smiling countenance, and the conversation slvlv carried on with the erson nearest him Hive evidence that he will not com lv with the teacher's re nest. At another time . . P e- . fl - he is sent to a cloak room where he amnses himself by trying on the girls' hats and cloaks. . By the time he becomes a Sophomore he becomes more dignified, and determines not to disgrace his class by getting into trouble, besides he has a front seat in the big room, and is closely watched. All is well until the Principal, who has stepped out of the room for a moment, comes back just in time to catch our friend in the middle of a sentence, and orders him to betake himself to the bench. The rest of the dav is snent in listenin to Geometry and Latin recitations which are not verv interesting exce t when something funn ' is said. The . l . Y . s P s. 3 boy does not realize the significance of the term mourner's bench until school is dismissed, and he is forced to listen to a lecture on sneaks, He is very proud of the class colors, and bravely, though in vain, does he tight for them when they are stolen by the Seniors. VVhen a junior he occupies a seat more centrally located for the greater part of the year. The reading recitations and the labratory work are the chief sources of amusement. On Field Day he shouts for the members of his class until he can scarcely speak. Ou Commence- ment night, in order to maintain the standing of the juniors, a joke is played on the Seniors. As a Senior he occupies a back seat for a few days, and then takes a front one, in order that, being in front of them, he may Set a good example for the lower classes! Much pleasure is afforded by collecting Grinds for the annual, which he is confident will prove a success. In june he is presented with a diploma and steps out of the High School, hoping that the members of future classes will follow his good t?j example.

SKATINO SONO. Hand in hand, away we fly Under the moon-lit, star-lit sky, Over the ice, all in a trice, Over the glittering, gleaming ice. Sing ho for the ice, heigh-ho! All frosted with powdered snowg While the Stars gleam back, over the track: While the moon and stars on high gleam back What care we for biting cold, what care we for wind so bold, As we glide along with shout and song, As merrily skating we glide along. Of weariness little we reck, Joy has as now at her beck. So an we fly 'heath the star-lit skyj So gliding and whirling on we fly.
