THE SYLLABUS Q0 Mackls a jolly fellow, the pride of the Junior class, ,llecause she is so jolly and good and always ready to laughg lve all hope she'll remember lllhen she goes to Farmington, That she was one of the happy bunch At the school in Flanagan. Last, but not least, is Xora, the famous Micky, Mick, ller ancestors are all from Killarney And are lrish to the quick, Altho she may Hunk ill German T, Natural you see it is, She can beat all ye llutehmen In writing and Irish quiz. Maurine Bamber, Nora Cavanagh. MY FAVORITE STUDY. These reasons are to be pithy and terse, But. mine can he easily written in verse, So, will endeavor to tell That T like very well Nearly all of the studies I take. Of course exceptions to every rulel' holds sway, But my opinion is today, That Botany I like best, And German-Ohl let it rest, It is one famous struggle For us all-I know. But Geometry is the worst one yet I trow. Literature is an easy mark, And ne'er needs studying after dark. But of all these-Ilm prepared to take, Botany as my favorite Nstakef' Dorys E. Zinn. Of the different branches of study which I have taken this year, German appealed the most to me. I have always had a desire to be able to speak the German language and under the careful tutelage of Miss Henicksman I think I shall soon be a full-fledged HDutehman. The study of German is also a constant review of the English grammar taught in the grades. The subjunctive mood, participles and infinitives have

THE SYLLABUS THE JUXIOR CLASS. 1t's been three years or more since first we Juniors met. As we go down inemoryls lane, we have but one regret. That life can be so very long and school days made so brief, lVhen the Senior year is over Tvelll all look hack with grief. Eight is the bright brigade that fo-rms the Junior class. For instance, Bill, the sinartest lad lVhose Hexainsv he sure did pass. Blessings on the little lad, His hands and eheeks of tan, It's the wish of the remaining Junior class That helll be a famous man. A great geonietrieian is Dorys to be sure, Her head is always with l1er now And will leave her, never more. Vida is the bright eyed child lVho loves the German I, I think she knew the A B C's Ere the study she began. A month ago Grace did leave us, A sad parting it did make, But she said, 't,Xs for studying there at school, I'd rather bake a cake, Cast all your scientiiical and geometrical science aside, Givetme the broom and the housewill boom lVhcn to Work I do decide. About two months ago again to our dismay Orleen, too, left. us and went far, far away. Now she teaches near Chenoa VVe're all proud to say, She'll be a regular Balboa VVhen her school is out in May. Dorothe excels i11 Botany the rest of the Junior class. She informed us pupils the other day That Hblue glass is as green as grass. Shcls a very attentive girl From morning until eve, Why shouldn't we all be sorry If us this coming year she should leave.

30 THE SYLLABUS always been the dread of 1ny life, but now, I am pleased to say, I eonldn't get along without them. The German language is rather difficult, to pronounce correctly and if I am tongue-tired at the end of the term I shall undergo an operation to redress the same and charge the bill to the directors of the Flanagan lligh School. Maurine Bamber. Being asked what study I found to be the most interesting this year, I answered with a glad heart that Geometry, to he sure, was my favorite. lvhyf For the simple reason that it's so very, very easy to understand. It requires no intellect in the least to figure out the exercises and propositions that form the required work. And again, just think who our instructor is, Mr. IV. H. Hill, the greatest geometrieian that ever walked the streets of Flanagan. Some how he uses such good methods in explaining the ditlicult portions. One of his greatest and 111ost substantial methods is, if you don't understand it, remain after school until you do. IVhat a wise idea for any one to think of. Really we Juniors are getting so bright on the subject that our professor, already named, thinks it not necessary to finish the entire book. Thats wliy l like it. Ilo you get me ? Xora C. Clavanagh. JUNIUIIH il Lil Llilllflfftllf. Vida, a truly geometrical wonder, Knocks Euclid statistics all asnnder, XVith her swift apperceptions And with no exceptions She never makes a blunder. Ilorys, myself, knows nothing at all, My ignorance everyone does apall, Accomplished in nothing, Lacking in something, Is the tale of my all in all. In Botany Dorothy knows quite a lot, But in her head she stores it not, So when Prof. reviews, Dorothy stews, And with a toss of her head says, tarot . Billie, a diligent stude, Ta.ll and jolly, tho' not rude, In conversing on art, He said, UFor my part I much prefer the cwudet'
