But Mr. Cooper spake unto us, saying, learn your lessons each day and fear ye not your exams. So it came to pass that on the third day, of the third week, of the third month, of that term, we walked forward unto our Geometry tomb. And for the second time Mr. Cooper spake unto our class, saying, hear me, all ye good people, write what is within your knowledge and borrow nothing from your neighbor for your neighbor is deceitful. And the following day it came to pass, that we diligently marched to our English class. Yea, we had met our second Waterloo. Likewise Miss Fromen spake unto the class, saying, hear ye me, pupils, ask no questions, for I am stricken with forgetfulness on exam days. And on the first day of the next week we studied for a Spanish exam, and bear ye in mind our thoughts were in confusion, for we knew not what we were doing. And it came to pass that Miss Goen put ten questions on the board and spake to the class saying, pupils, give ye ear unto my words, answer eight and ask ye no questions. Likewise our Chemistry came due. Yea, the subject of our fears. Then Mr. Ratclifl' spake saying, fear ye not this exam for it is easy! Remember ye not the work we have gone over?'l And on the third day, of the fourth week of that term, we moved slowly to the History room, for we knew not whether to fear or to rejoice. And it happened that on this day we rejoiced, for, bear ye in mind, Mr. Corry spake nothing unto us, but made our last exam. easy. G. FERGUSON. Page eighty five
