The exasperated instructor glowers at him till he shrivels up into nothing and sinks through floor, and then roars,- VVhy in thunder didn't you leave your head down stairs and bring the rest of your corpus up here ? But unfortunately Fremaux is not the only bright idiot in the class. There is the venerable Father XVhite, who is second to none but Conway as politician. There is Howe, who knows more about girls than chemistry 1 and Stevens, who knows more than any ten men put together. If you do not believe it, ask him. From such a class as this we expect great things, and sincerely hope that you will not Hunk in your exams, as we fear that the teachers would break down under the strain of teaching the class a second time. THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL. 40

i903 Editorial. In writing this editorial we are at loss to find anything to write about. The events of your class history worth noting are few, owing to the fact that you have been in the High School but a year and a half. However, we will do our best to show the public what a remark- able class you are. When you first came under our observation we thought Gulliver had come back to earth and let loose a pandemonium of pigmies. There was not a member of your class Over three feet highg Andrani excepted. However, you had not long been under our gentle care and watchfulness before you were made to feel much smaller, and doubtless you would have disappeared from sight entirely if it had not been for Andrani. But many victories, especially in class foot-ball,i have turned your heads or rather enlarged them 5 and some have even expressed the fear that, if they continued to expand in the future as they have in the past, force of gravity would assert itself and you would be standing on your heads. But we do not apprehend any danger as there is nothing weighty enough within to cause such a remarkable occurrence. The first event of importance in your history occurred late in the fall of ,QQ when the 'o1's and 'o3's lined up against the 'oo's and 'o2's for the annual class scrap. The decisive struggle took place early one evening at the northwest corner of City Hall Park. Here the battle rages long and fierce. Finally with a mighty charge the glorious class of 'or aided CU by the 'o3's drive the enemy off the field and are soon enjoying a straw-ride to Williston. But the fierce scrappers of '03 were not satisfied with the victory already won. Coming across a couple of straggling 'O2,S they seized them and nearly exterminated their clothing. This was nearly as glorious as the winning of the foot- ball game. The only social affair in your history was a Farmer's Social held last fall, and really we do not see how it could have been anything else. Notwithstanding all this, the members of your class are very remarkable beings. For example, the following took place in chemistry .class room : Mr. Brett- Read the next equation, Fremauxf' Fremaux- I wrote only the last part of it. I-I left the rest down stairs. 39
