Does anyone know why the right hand is the stronger one? Leo. W.: “Why, that’s because our heart is on our left side. Gladys Swanson was absent the week beginning Jan. 13, because of tonsilitis. We wonder why Esther was so an- xious to recite the advance proposi- tion in Geom. Wednesday, Jan. 15. We are sorry that she was so cruelly disappointed. Wanted—To be excused from tak- ing the exams. Several Seniors. Zelda Watson was absent from school Jan. 20, because of illness. Many Seniors took advantage of the fine skating aiTorded them by the re- cent icy weather, and all report a good time. That is, those that took the precaution to use skates enjoyed it; but the unfortunate ones that fell to EYE, EAR, NOSE OR THROAT TROUBLE SEE - DR. F. DUNCAN Physician and Surgeon Paxton. III. earth, thereby losing their Senior dig- nity, did not seem to appreciate Old Winter so much. Raymond Kirkpatrick insisted on pronouncing maritime” for the word ‘marine.’ It even caused Mr. Bain- um to falter when he pronounced it. The Seniors were well represented in the Athenaeum Literary Program, Dec. 13, 1912, and all did credit to that most illustrious class. Those in the literary part were Gladys Swanson and Esther Swanson, Myrtle Ham- merlund featured in the farce. Paul Moffett informed the English IV. class that “formidable” meant forever.” Mr. Lathrop (in American History) “Esther, give the platform of the Democratic party in this campaign.” Esther: “Well, they were trying to beat the Republicans.” The Senior class receive many visi- tors during the last period in the day; especially, from the grades. Quite a number of class notes were necessarily ommitted on account ot lack of space.

THE PAXTON HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTRO 64 cles. “It is easy when you know how,” i-ay some of the wiser ones. Gladys Kellogg was absent from school Thursday and Friday, Decem- ber 19th and 20th on account of sick- ness. Rome of the Juniors in English Lit- erature can not distinguish between diary and dairy. i ‘ Manu et linqua was translated as • bands and feet” by a brilliant Junior in Cicero. In Latin III.: Esther was translate in; the following passage: “Lentulum autem sibi confirmasse.” This is the way she rendered it to her attentive classmates: “And moreover Lentulus was con- firmed.” (Undoubtedly Esther thought she was in Sunday school.) In Geometry, Raymond becomes quite confused when reading circles, radii, arcs, and chords. Frequently he greatly bewilders the class. His intentions, however, are all correct Wanted—The French Revolution condensed and simplified.—Eng. His- tory III. Class. Mention was made of Will Wimble in the Roger De Coverley papers. Miriam said that Will Wimble was a sportsman and hunter, and that he killed wolves and rabbits. Miss Chipps allowed the Freshman and Sophomore classes to write a let- ter to Santa Claus one day. The Jun- iors were very desirous of following their example, but Miss Chipps said “no , when Miss Chipps says “no” she means “no”) The Juniors gave their book report. We hope Santa Claus understands the situation. Signe Olson spent the Christmas holidays in Chicago with relatives. Gladys Kellogg spent Christmas in Champaign. Edla Johnson visited friends in Gib- son during Christmas vacation. The Juniors have resolved that they will study more conscientiously during the coming year. It would be prudent for the other students to fol- low their example. Miss Chipps told her English Lit- erature class that to smell a poppy makes one sleepy. Walter is still wondering what the Joke can be. “Percy” was telling the life of Alex- ander Pope. His closing statement was: “Alexander Pope’s mother died and he staid right with her. After eight days vacation, school was resumed on Jan. 2, 1913. The day was spent by the students yawning and studying drowsily. Evidently they all had watched poor old Fath- er Time make his exit, and the bright little New Year his appearance. Is it possible that we will get ac- customed to writing and saying ‘1913’ instead of ‘1912 ? Miss Chipps: “What did Bunyan write? Chester H.: “Uncle Tom's Cabin. Mr. Lathrop: “Why are the icicles on that wire out there, turned up?” Percy J.t ‘They are just looking up to see where they came from.
