Such an extremely trivial bit of persitlage as an edition of school notes must of necessity descend from the sublime to the ridiculous. And perhaps it is well that it is so, since so few of our readers are really interested in thesublime. The Police Gazette, Vanity Fair, Ibn'-n, Topics, our Society columns, these are farlmore enter- taining to the average lay reader. It is a ff Lost Paradise ll to read Milton Vg Macaulay never ought to have known our friend Joe Addison, and we would certainly have Hconciliated U Burke rather than allow him to perpetrate that speech which is ascribed to him. All these are a form of the so-called 'L sublime? I ask you if you expect such Ustuffn as that from us? Even if you should by any possibility answer H yesf' our scant verbiage would prevent our complying with your inordinate desires. In all the above we have essayed to show wherein this differs from an essay which might be submitted to the head of the English Department. if God save the mark F- our mark. The first eve11t which comes to mind is, perhaps, the most noteworthy we have to record. It is the Senior Dance. IVhat a glorious affair it was! The orchestia played divinely- well, as divinely as it could considering the fact that only one of its members' had a dress suit on. But then, one must concede something to art. and so we shall pass by the orchestra. The iioor was good except in spots -black spots from whence arose the warm Avernian zephyrs. The main thing, to be sure, was the crowd. Wfhat alot of sweet girls we have in the class and among the alnmnael The boys did nobly- ate the refreshments and trod indiscz-iminately on each girl's toes. At half after eleven we bade the Faculty 445011. Soir, fthe teacher of French has O K'ed thisj and went to our respective Lures and Penrates. Again we reiterate that it was good. . 1906 also gave a dance on February twenty-fourth. The poor dear Juniors imitated us as best they could, but with small success. However, some day they will be Seniors. That is the summit of all earthly bliss. Mrs. Cushing has departed for Jamaica, and we offer our condolences to the infants. This going-away business approaches an epidemic stage, for Miss IVeeden has some intention of spending next year in Germany. Miss Searle will take her place. The alumni and all the friends of old Hope will be grieved to learn of Miss Tucker's continued illness. IVe trust she will shortly be returned to health. At last we have a debating team and Demosthenes and his pebbles will be a side issue. No doubt there is a current opinion that we are addicted to studying all the time. Let ine whisper to you. 'C It is not sof' Our athletic pennants make rival schools green with envy. Brown University has at length turned over to us the banner which we won in the All-Interscholastic track meet last Fall. IV e have also added the 1904 baseball championship bit of bunting to our collection. Shortly we shall be pressed for space for these insignia of our supremacy. In the main corridor below there is a case of silver trophies which have all been won by our sturdy athletes. With a feeling of pride we say, let the good work go on. 12 '
