THE CICERO STRIKE. Has any one told you of our Cicero class, The delight U31 of all the school, Or how We clubbed together in mass And disobeyed the rule. One day our honored maitre, Mr. Hopkins, if you'd know the name, Thought he'd give it to us straighter, And overtax our brain. He gave us eight lines more Than we all thought we'd like. The upshot was a general roar, And we one by one did strike. We had hoped we might recite ' Just to show our little game, But were told that we might write The lesson just the same. We finished extra early, And Mr. Hopkins in surprise Looked up, pleased, tho' rather surlyg There was mischief in our eyes. One started and translated. As far as she had prepared. The laughter had not abated, Mr. Hopkins stood and stared. He called on all the rest, Their answers were the same, Of his patience it was a test, But him, I could not blame. Now, we think of that day of yore, And how dearly would we like To participate just once more, In the fun of the Cicero strike. ,,

UNIORS, ordinary juniors, are generally supposed to be a very fickle sort of people, who care little for anything be- sides pleasure and style. NOW this is the general run of juniors, but it so happens that the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety-eight is a bad year for this kind of juniors. In other Words the juniors of '99 are not ordinary juniors. Far from it. They are a superior race of people who have met together in the Duluth Central High School and formed the great and only class of ,99 Cin the D. C. H. SJ These juniors care for pleasure and style. O! yes! but they care for other things also. - They like to dance, yes, but they also like to debate. They like a picnic, and they also like to study. They are fond of skating, also A's, physics, and Cicero.
