The Seniors took most of them exams Thursday and Friday the 10th and 11th. The rest of the c ss took theirs Friday 18, and Monday 21. The Seniors say it’s a grand and glorious feeling to be through. This Senior Class of 1923 ic the largest class ever graduated from the Cut Bank High School and perhaps will be for several years to come, unless the pres- ent Sophs all “stick together.” There are ten of us—two boys and ei dit girls. We have ac- complished many things, among them the publishing of the Live Wire you now hold in your hands. A severe epidemic has been raging in the High School for the past several weeks The very worst factor of this epi- demic is that it is very conta- gious and really all of the stu- dents as well as the faculty have had either a severe case or a slight attack of it. The Profes- sor has diagrosed the epidemic and has pronounced it Spring Fever, and he prescribes an ex- tra dose of “patience until Mav 25th. J. C. M. ’23. SPARKS Paul (In Sociology class)—Just how long a time should you know each other before get- ting married? Marvel—I always heard you never knew a man until you had married him anyway. Walter—I bet you couldn’t write a theme on a pin. Idolph—I could write a book, but you wouldn’t want to read it; it would be too pointed. Arthur Zion was asked by his teacher to write an essay on heroes. He immediately wrote the following: “I put a thumb- tack on the chair. Father sat on it and he-rose.” • Miss Conmey — What is a vacuum ? William—Well, I have it in my head but I can’t explain it. Francis—If you could have two wishes, what would you wish for? Dorothy—I’d wish for a hus- band. Francis—That’s only one. Dorothy—I’d save the other wish until I saw how he turned out. • Little Freshie in a brook Prof, he caught him with a hook, Youngberg fried him in a pan, And Scott ate him like a man. • Miss Wall — And now Miss Youngberg, who do you want for the Prom? Miss Youngberg (busy correct- ing papers)— Oh Lord, any- body! ♦ Clarence—A friend of mine fell asleep in the bath tub with the water running. Sam—Did the tub overflow? Clarence—Nope, he sleeps with his mouth open. ♦ Cheer up! If all the reformers use up all the blus for the “true” law Sunday, there won’t be auv left for blue Monday. Students, there’s hope! June Hull—I know a man who has been married thirty years and he spends all his evenings at home. Beatrice (dreamily)—That is what I call real love. June Hull—No, it’s papapvsis. Walter—You’ve been keeping me waiting aaround here ’flee an old fcol for an hour. Isabel—Well, I may have kept you waiting, but I had nothing to do with how you waited. Smart Salesman—Hello, kid! Is the buyer in? June M.—No. (then smi’ing), but the celler is down. • Pauline (just finishing a scarce- ly audible recitation)—Any questions?— Miss Wall—Pardon me for inter- rupting, but would you plea speak louder. Pauline—Any more questions? Mr. Peterson (innocently)—Lots of girls use dumb be’ls to get color in their cheeks. Hazel—Yes, and lots of girls use color on their cheeks to get dumb bells. » Idolph—What keeps us from falling off the earth when we are upside down ? June M. — Why, haven’t you heard of Newton’s law of uni- versal gravitation ? Idolph—Yes, but how did folks stay on before the law was passed ? Fashion decrees a longer skirj?. Will lovely woman wear it? A maiden with a shapelv calf Will doubtless grin and bare it. Miss Wall (in sociology)—Down on San Francisco you see a man on the street. H« says: “Come on. let’s get married.’ You say: “All right,” and there you are. Marvel—Aw, I never heard of that!

MY LIFE AS AN ALGEBRA Once I was proud of myself; I had a good reason to be for I was a new, pretty, and shiny, greenish-blue Algebra. I was shipped with perhaps two dozen of my mates to Cut Bank four years ago. My name was “16” when the librarian of that school was through with us and had us all nicely stacked upon her desk. I felt comfortable and was be- ginning to think that life in Cut Bank was great. But then is when I thought wrong, for on September 14, 1919, the algebra teacher decided that her class needed us. So we were placed in charge of the students. I am sure I was about the unluckiest book of two dozen for I was ac- tually handed to Marvel Berger. As soon as she got me the first thing she did was write her name on the inside of my cover. Then Miss Louver assigned the lesson for the next day, so Mar- vel scratched a big X at the be- ginning and end of it. Well I got an X every day of the whole year; but that wasn't all. On a day in January, 1920, Marvel was skipping down icy Main Street with me under her arm. She came across a place which was more slippery than usual and down she went. I don't re- member how she landed, but I know that I struck the snow at the side of the walk pretty hard, and when she picked me up one of my covers was soaked and swoolen. In May the 1919-20 school term ended and vacation came at last. My! No one will ever know how glad I was. At first I tended my wounds as best I could, but I don't think my nursing changed my looks anv, for that snow wash I re- ceived during Miss Marvel's ac- cident left disheartening effects. The next year of my life Mar- vel had me again, for to my grief she had failed the year be- fore. I've often hade the re- mark since then that that was her punishment fcr mistreating me so. It isn't necessary to tell the things that were wrong with me at the end of that term, for every one can just about guess from what I've told so far. I'll always love Ralph Micken as long as I a ma book, for he's the best student in whose charge I've ever been. He was so kind and gentle with me last year that I almost forgot my previous unhappiness. Now I'm in Clarence Chasse's charge and it certainly has been the worst yet. My good cover was tom off last fall, so I'm sheltered only on one side. I wouldn't mind if he'd have tom off the one that's swoolen and ragged, but he's just that kind, always dealing people miseries. Last New Year I was a dirty, pencil-marked, swoolen, one- covered, algebra, and now, well, I won't tell you, for I'm actually ashamed of myself. L. K. '23.
