18 7 he Scarlet and Gray The Review: We were glad to re- ceive such an interesting paper. You have a neat paper with nice cuts. Your literary department is excellent. ‘‘The Race’-was quite novel. Glad to see your success in athletics. The Reveille: Were glad to add you to our list. You have a very good pa- per, but believe your literary depart- ment could be worked up more. The Spectrum: Another one of our new exchanges and one worthy of praise. Your cover was very good. It is interesting to us to hear of the ath- letics of the far Northwest. The Quill: You have a very neat pa- per. Could you not work up a better literary department? On Monday April 7, we were favored by another interesting talk. Rev. Dun- lap the evangelist who is holding meet- ings in the Presbyterian Church was the speaaer on this occasion. Rev. Dunlap is a man of widespsead experi- ence, he being a policeman, Railroad Detective and Y. M. C. A. Sec. before he became an evangelist. He talked to us on The Body, Soul and Spirit. This beautiful message which he delivered will not soon be forgotton. Our faculty has been quite unfortu- hate lately Miss Johnson was taken sick with dyphtheria immediately fol- lowing the flood and was not able to assume her duties until Wednesday of last week. Miss Hutchins substituted for Miss Johnson the first four days of her illness while Miss Hickman taught the remainder. The Seniors twice remembered their kind teacher bv a bouquet of roses. A week ago Monday eveing Mr. Long visited his wife in Athens, who had been severly burned, while there he was stricken down with dyphtheria. Mr. Longis surely having more than his share of bad luck. It looks as though hodoo was following our faculty. Miss Trout and Miss Hickman have substitut- ed for Mr. Long. Although unfortunate in one respect we are fortunate in securing able and willing substitutes.

I he Scarlet and Gray 17 A ’tremblin’, asked if he could git A book he had fergot, Long cast on him a Long, Long look, His eyes blazed like two rockets, . lie roars: “You kin if you will take Yer hands out of yer pockets!” You ought t’seen them hands come out! They jmuped like somethin’ bit 'em, That kid starts back along the aisle As if a cyclone hit ’im, “Dont walk so loud, y’annoy the class!” Long gives a mighty bawl, “Twas but the grace of your good looks What got you in at all.” The next class was in English’ The teacher was Miss Lowden, She wasn’t like the other ones, And didn’t b’lieve in crowdin’ She’s kind o' calm and quiet like, And dont try much to make fear. But sure is she a devotee Of that their guy called Shakespeare' She’s better lookin’ than our bunch; She’s neither fat nor lean, She must ‘a’ been a purty girl When she was bout sixteen! She makes 'em git their lesson, tho’. She won’t allow no foolin’, She’ll often say how’s they can't play If they come there for schoolin’. A little fat guy then come in Agrinnin’ at us all,. And tinkered with a little thing A sticking on the wall. And then he turned himself around And walked right out again: The kid ahead turned round and said; “See, boy! that’s Charlemagne!” Then school let out for noon recess, ’Nd we went home for dinner, I says ’I’ll go this afternoon As sure as I’m a sinner!’ So I goes back to school again With Harry (my relation) But I was mad to find they had Just one more recitation. That there was German-Dutch, y’know, The teacher was a fine un; He looked as if he knowed a lot And had a book-leaf linin. ’ You, ought t’heard ’em talk that Dutch! It sounded to me, bo, Like what dad said when he dropped The flat-iron on his toe. Well, that was all that afternoon What happened worth repeatin’ And I come home this mornin’ just In time to ketch this meetin’ I got a cold, I’ve talked so long My voice is gittin’ wheezy; But work, I guess, at N. H. S., Ain’t so all-fired easy. Roy T4. X-CH ANGES Our exchange list this month is the smallest of the year, many of our old exchanges not being heard from. This is partly accounted for by the fact that during the flood the mail piled up so heavily in Columbus that it is yet im- possible to get it sorted. When this mail is worked up we will undoubtedly receive many papers. Our old exchanges which returned are:' The .Maroon and White, Danville, 111. The Dart, Ashtabula, Ohio. The Aerial, Logan, Ohio. The Forum, Mt. Vernon, Ohio. The Search-Light, Westerville, Ohio. The Kankakeean, Kankakee, 111. The Aegis, South Salem, Ohio. The Kodak, Mt. Gilead, Ohio. The following exchanges have been added to our list since last month: The Quill, Parkersburg, W. Va. The Spectrum, Portland, Oregon. The Reveille, Newark. Ohio. The Review, Lowell, Mass. The Aerial: We beg to inform you that you did not defeat Nelsonville High in basketball. You played a team of pick-ups. Our High School team hasn’t played since returning from Delaware.. We don’t like to cry over our defeats, but we do not like to have credit for a defeat when we were not defeated.
