An unseen cornniotion issued from the Periscope head- quarters, but not feeling quite up to the ob! vious job which presented itself, Snooper decided he was needed elsewhere and left the stall to wallow in its own literary despair. Glaucing furtively across the hall to see if anyone was looking, our friend crept UP the DOWN stairs. reached the top safely and innocently dropped into MISS HARTEH'S rooin, 201. There she was all alone, an English book in one hand and a French book in the other, trying to think in both languages at once. Snooper had quite a good lrish broguo hiinself and wanted to stay awhile, but he had to complete his survey. A short stop in MR. EDMISTON'S room rather shocked hiin. Had all the students in that freshman rooin gone Sherlock Holmesu? No, they were only looking for X, as so niany boys and girls have done in years gone by. A bit perplexed, the little doggie soineliow got out of the rnaze and ran plumb into MISS RAY. who asked hiin if he liked his geornetry plane or solid. He just gulped, then dodged into MR. McCURDY'S room. Horrors! Here a grisly murder trial was being hold by the Civics class. For a mock trial it certainly was convincing, and Snoop- er didn't wish to get in the way of the accusing finger of the D. A., so he softly closed the door and sped down to COACH SHUKER'S history class. His ears fairly stood on end on hearing the furious debate which threatened to turn into a riot any min- ute. The calm functioning of MR. MAR- SHALL'S P. O. D. class of dignified 1?l seniors relieved his tense nerves somewhat and citing Day DAN MCCURDY, AB., lVl.Ed. D. LEVWS Sl-IUKER, HSS., Bid. CHARLES S.

QL Drinking fountains spurted, bulletin boards gasped for air, and door frames groaned over the iabber and hurn of the corridor sentry, which consisted of nine-tenths ot all the O. H. S. students. The other tenth was holding down the curbstones outside the building. Snooper shook his head in disniay, his flop ears flopping in the breeze. Suddenly the terrible din of a gong srnote these sanie ears and everyone seemed to rush in a different direction. Wlien Snooper had recovered froin the Whirlwind, and the last door had banged be- hind the last scurrying student, he tucked his notebook under his arrn and began his inspection of O. H. S. He saw MISS OFF- UTT with her arnis loaded with books, so padded after her to General Math class. However, this was not the principle interest of his doggie brain, and he rneandered to Hooni 9 where MR. GLENN was glibly as- signing a fifty-itern journal to a inath class. Floating out on the wave of resulting groans, Snooper found hirnself inside the door of MISS SHELL!-XBY'S stenography class in lU6, which is the hoine of the Oak Leat. Peering over the shoulder of a busy shorthand stu- dent, he perceived a page of curls and quirks that extended beyond even his imagination. Deciding that this was too niuch for his addled head, he staggered toward the clackety-clacking noise of typewriters in MISS SACKTER'S roorn. The din niade his head spin so that his one thought was to escape.

Dear teacher was Good mornina Brother ionos- inq all her Enqlish l and lV pupils in her cheerful fashion, so Snooper assumed that all was well and bounced on up to MISS SHOTT'S sophomore English class. There he was most hilariously received, hut after three minutes of danqlinq participles he left, feeling somewhat like one himself. Our little friend was tempted to pass up MRS. FOSTER'S lunior Enqlish room, but his Peri- scope friends wouldn't like that so he ven- tured in. Cr rather, tried to, for the room was jammed riqht up to the door in themes, hook reports, and notebooks. Shakina his head in canine dismay, Snoopf er closed the door and was decidina his next stop, when a racket arose in the lower hall. He made a hee-line for the steps and skid' ding to a stop, poked his head throuah the railinqs. Down below, a mass of jahhorina students was leayinq the huildinq, slamminti doors with qlass-shatterina hanas that hrouqht Hshhh-ina teachers to their doors. Hey, down there, Snooper lvarked, Whats up? We're qoinq to cooking class, the girls called hack, MISS BEATTIE is lettina us make pies today.
