K is for Kutting up, which they all do like L for Leona, who is such a mite. Also for Lawrence, who seems very brave. M is for Mamie and May, both looking quite grave.

X stands for X’ams, we all love (?) to take V for the yells which make our throats ache. 7. is for Zeal which we all show, ’tis true For the good of our High School—we will anything do. FRESHIES. Yes at first they were rather verdant. And did not know just what to do. But the Sophies made them their servants, And bossed them a little, ’tis true. However they have worked hard each day And found that it surely paid, For now I can truthfully say You’d never think they were Freshmen. SOPHIES. Then there is another class Who think themselves quite wise; Because they are not green as grass And plans to fool the Fresies they often devise. However we have our opinion of them And from thei»- know it all manner We take it you’ll guess, they’re the Sophomores. JUNIORS. The next bunch now comes along With many a laugh and gay song; They have a right to be gay For they are very good they say They are editing this Annual And doing just what's right each day. You can go where’er you may But “there are none like the Juniors we know you’ll say. SENIORS. Now the best and last are here Every one of whom we’ll lustily cheer They are very dignified And often have sighed. But ’tis only their oration and play That has kept these heroes from being gay. We will miss them very much These grave Seniors, Lucky Bunch.

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN Presumably, while he is struggling with Caesar, and hearing the wonders of the twelfth legion lauded by the preceptress, old Shylock is trying to persuade his young ward, Jessica, to marry him, but she naturally refusas, for the light-haired foot ball captain has already won her heart. Shylock finally locks her into the house, but Launce-lot Gobbo rescues her by taking a note to Antonio, who soon comes and after making a “center smash” through the door, frees the prisoner. Needless to say, in the excitement of passing his examination, Bassanio forgets to return the pony, so, as the boys line up for their big Thanksgiving game, Shylock comes in with a very modern looking policeman, and takes Antonio to court. In the court room scene Portia comes to the rescue as Antonio’s hair is about to be sacrificed under Shylock’s scissors, not with the warning “no drop of blood,” but with an X-ray professor, who, having care fully turned the search-light on Antonio’s head, finds nothing which can be called a brain, so the bond is void, and Shylock lea es, defeated. Lancelot Gobbo, in the meantime, lets a mouse escape and Portia and Nerissa. not stopping to think, leap wildly onto chairs, thus disclosing their identity, and winning applause for their actions.

This is the school house where the children come to work and play. Why is that small fence about the yard? That is to keep the young grass off from the walks and the bushes, too, might leave. See those poles and iron rings far over in the yard. That is where the little girls play (?) basket ball. Those white lines near the school house mark the tennis court. It is full of much sand and cut with deep dents. That is to amuse the ball, for as it hits the ground it may rebound in any direction it chooses. What makes the big noise? Look, it is the base ball boys playing. Hear them shout and see them run. See that machine near the grade building. That is the sanitary drinking foun-tain(?) Let us go inside of the High School building. The Assembly room is up stairs. See how nice and light it is. Those pretty pictures on the wall have been won by the Prairie High School students. The bright banner in the corner is the oratorical banner. The school is very proud of that banner. Is not this a nice school?
