In a small room on the upper floor of a tenement house in Kansas City, a girl, not more than 18, sat by the bedside of a small boy who w’as evidently quite ill. She was sewing industriously. The boy was propped up in b?d with a bowl of broth before him at which he was looking in a manner that showed it did not tempt his appetite. “Drink it. dear, said the girl, “and tomorrow I will buy you some oranges when Mrs. Morton pays m? for this sewing.” “1 don’t want oranges,” said the boy, pevishly. “I want grapes.” “Alright, Paul, you shall have the grapes If you will only drink the broth.” The boy managed to drink the great? part, and soon after, dropped into a fitful steep. Hut the girl sewed on until she finished the sewing, and then went to bed. It was almost midnight and she was very tired for she had worked all day long. But even then, she could not steep but lay thinking and wondering how she would manage to get the fruit. She cou.d dot take the money she Would get tomorrow, for the rent was due, and she had to get more coal. Sh? would keep the room warm for the sick boy if she Went without food herself. At last she made up her mind that she Would take the money and for once indulge in some luxury for the sick boy. The next morning she overslept, but was finally awakened by the boy who was talking to himself about the grapes. After she had straightened the little room and made Paul as comfortable as possible, giving him books and pictures, with which to amuse himself, she put on her wraps, took the sewing, and started for the home of Mrs. Morton. It was quite a distance, and when she arrived, she was informed that Mrs. Morton Was about to start downtown, shopping. She w'as showrn into the sewing room. After Waiting a few' minutes, the lady came downstairs. After mentioning some slight alterations which she wished made in the dress, she said, “I cannot pay o i today for I have no money in the house and I will have to draw it from the bank. I will send it to you tomorrow,” Alice's heart sank Within her. She kiew that to enter any protest probably meant the loss of her most Wealthy and profitable customer. But she could not disappoint poor little Paul. He had talked of the grapes all morning and had hardly tasted his breakfast. Mustering her courage, she said, “Mrs. Morton, I must have the money today; my rent is due; I am out of coal, and besides, I have promised my brothei some grapes. ' Drawing herself up haughtily the lady said, “You will have to Wait until tomor row’. I am too busy to attend to it today. And then, as an afterthought, she addj i, “It seems to me that grapes are an expert3 sive luxury for you at this time of the year.” With this she passed out to her carriage. Whert she Was left alone, Alice, While making the alterations on the dress, sat wondering how she would be able to go home and tell Paul, “Oh, how could she be so heartless? ' she whispered, “and she has sb much, too. She glanced up and saw the butler pass the open door, carrying a basket of grapes into the dining room, and place them on the sideboard. Th injustice of it all rendered her for the moment desperate. The butler left the room, and, without a moment’s thought, she dropped the dress, went into the dining room, seized the grapes and hurried through the front door. As she w’ent, she heard a commotion behind her, but she stopped for nothing. Down streets and around corners she fled. But the butler had discovered his loss and was in pursuit. Summoning a policeman, he soon overtook her, and placed her under arrest. She w as then taken to a police station. While Mr. and Mrs. Morton sat talking in Mr. Morton’s private office, they received a telephone message from the butler, telling them of the theft of the grapes. Mrs 4 THE OCKSHEPER1DA Morton was vary much shocked. She told the story of the girl to her husband, and when she got through, his face wore a very serious expression. “You are very much to blame, for you should not have led her into temptation. You must hasten, and have her released at once,” he said. When Mrs. Morton appeared at the police station, she explained to the judge the circumstances in such a way that he released the girl at once. She took Alice into her carriage and drove her to her home. And it is needless to say that little Paul received his grapes. When Alice had dried her tears, she tried to thank Mrs. Morton for her kindness and leniency. “Why did you do it when you knew that I was really guilty?” she asked. “My dear girl,” answered Mrs. Morton, “Do you think that I would let you suffer, when 1 was the cause of it all?”. In her heart she thought, ”1 wonder who was the criminal: she or I?” + | FOR LOVE OF HIS PONY By Clifford Goodnight, ’11. $ It was on a hot summer’s day and if we could have been down there, we would have seen a solitary man riding along the rolling plains, near the border of Mexico, on the back of a pinto. He was a young man. straight, and muscular, and was doing his vary best to get to the boundary line. If he could reach there before his pursuers caught him he was safe; if not,—well, he would pr )b. biv ba strung up to the first tree he came to. The pinto was keeping a steady gallop and it could be told that he knew his rider and his rider knew him for the slightest movement on the part of the man was sufficient. He had made a long trip and the muscles and chords were strained almost to the limit and he was blowing hard. The young man noticed this and wondered If he would make it. There were only 75 miles left. But the plucky little horse kept on and on. Every onc3 in awhile the fugitive would scan the horizon narrowly. He kept on until evening and got off when it was dark; at a little of the cold lunch and gave his horse a couple of ears of corn. Then as the mcon came up. he was off again. He rode all night long and did not see any signs of his pursuers as yet. When morning came, his pony was nearly worn out. He got off in a hollow, and rested his pony awhile. After he had eaten his lunch, he started out again, the pony keeping his regulir gait, but he had not gone far when he broke and began walking. The young man saw it, and wondered if he could get there. There was only a short distance now between him and freedom. He always kept in the hollow as much a3 possible where the grass was deep. Letting the pinto rest awhile, he urged him on. He was doing his best, when down he went, throwing his rider into the grass. The young man got up, uninjured, but his faithful pony was lying there fjuiver- ing. He has sprained one of his front legs. His rider looked at him, and said “Well, I guess you are gone. But you have been very faithful to me. We’ve both been fighting against great odds—you against the fresh change of our pursuers.” He tried to comfort him and sat down to await the coming of his pursuers. He might as well give up. His head nodded and he fell into a deep sleep. When he was awakened, it was by the whinny of a horse. He looked around expecting to see his enemy, but instead, there stood a handsome, black horse, an old weather-worn saddle on his back, telling a sad tale. The horse was easily caught. Here was freedom. He could easily make it now. He cut off the old saddle and put on his own. He looked at his own faithful pony. There was a pleading look in his eye. How could he go away nnd leave his pony to be killed by the coyotes or wolves after he had been so faithful? But with a look of determination, he turned around.—What w'as the life of a horse against that of a human being? He mounted his horse and plunged ahead. He heard a pleading whinny behind him and looking around saw his pony trying to get up and follow. His heart softened and he stopped his horse and rode baca. Taking off his saddle and bridle he hit the fractious steed with the reins and the horse dashed away and was soon lost to sight. The young man sat down and mused. Perhaps he had done the wrong thing; perhaps he should have gone on and obtained his freedom, but he could not leave his pony, who had carried him so far. Then looking up. he saw reveral horsemen riding along the ridge. They stopped and scanned the hollow, and the young man. watching through the tall grass, saw them slowly ride on and disappear- from sight. They would go to the Mexican border, and not see a sign of their would-be victim. THE OCKSHEPERIDA 5 SENIOR NOTES By Lela Thurmond. Class of '09 has twenty members enrolled at present, and expect one more about November 1st, as Harry Fulmer will be able to be with us again. .e have missed him very much, and all will be glad to have him back with the class. Regrets are handed out by every Senior for the r ason of having to lose one of the best students, Blanch Tobey Long. Mr. and Mrs. Long are living in Washington. Our best wishes are extended to Blanche and Elmer for their future happiness. The Senior Glee Club, which was organized at the beginning of the year, has had two meetings. New books have been ordered and each member should make it t.ie'.r duty to be present at the meetings. We think Pauline Jackson has had sufficient practice to be able to put on one of the nest shows of the s'aeon. Everybody come. Special invitation to Clarence Atchinson. The “Good Time social, given by the Seniors at the City Hall was well attended and veryone seemed to have the good time.” The regular Thursday morning programs w re begun the second week of school, in charge of the Seniors. Programs were as fellows: Talk. Lsla Thurmond: piano solo. Norma Wilson; talk, Herbert Brooks; second period, talk, Maurine Tschirgi; talk. D Royce Dudley; third period, talk. Eliza Aber; piano solo, Gladys Fuller; Talk, Oliver Hasty; fourth period, talk. Florence rate: piano solo. Pearl Wenzell; talk, Harry Winterling. English Teacher: “Miss f'artin, of all men with whom we have become acquainted, which man seems greatest to you?” Miss Martin (dreamily—“Bob Helvey.” Gladys Fuller got a string. And tied it on to Winterling: Gladys Burnette, with winning looks. Almost captured Herbert Brooks; De Royce Dudley, we still have yet. In ypilg of the smiles from Minnie Burnette. Now. boys, drop that Junior junk. They can’t be Seniors if they flunk. Instead of the regular Normal Reviews with a new subject each six weeks, a nsw plan has been adopted in which Arithmetic takes the place of other common branches the first semester .and History the second semester. Junior—How can we make people think we are unusually bright? Keen Observer—Follow as closely in the Senior’s ways as it is possible for you to do. To the Juniors. The class—it numbers twenty-seven. But it really ought not have eleven. For it's such a wild and reckless class That scarcely a one is able to pass. Of all the classes 1 have seen (And many of these were very green), I found that the Juniors were greenest of all. When they answerel “Freshie” to the call. But it was hoped they would improve, When into the Sophomore class they moved And learned of the statesman, Caesar, byname; But, alas! no higher was their aim. When at last poor Juniors, they were called. On the schoolhouse high, their colors hauled, They still retained their symbol, “green” With the pink they had chosen can now be seen. Lets hope when they answer “Senior. at last, They will change a great deal from the past. And follow the Seniors of 1909. Dear Juniors—change while there is time. (Senior, 09.) JUNIOR NOTES By Irvin Smith. The Eleventh Caesar class is reading from twenty to twenty-five lines a day, and promise to read more than that in the fu ture. Walter Holloway left school last week to take a hunting trip on Powder river, after which he is going to spend the wint r in Cuba with his sister. The most prominent feature in the Junior class is the newly-organized orchestra, consisting of five pieces: Piano, played by Gladys Fuller: violin, by Minnie Burnette: clarinet, by Warren Camplin; cornet, by Gla.vds Burnette, and snare drum by Tiverton Tynan. 6 THE OCKSHEPERIDA The High School librarian was chosen from the Junior class, Mary Minnick filling the place. Lula Mooney has left school, and is in attendance at the Business College. The Juniors feel very proud of the sportsman in their class, Irvin Smith, when out deer (not dear) hunting recently, killed a fine one at the first shot. The Japanese social given by the Juniors Friday night was a success and everyone enjoyed it. SOPHOMORE NOTES By Josephine Adams. The Sophomore class this year numbers forty. We wonder how many will be in the class of ’ll. In Geometry class (the morning after)— “Mr. Wood, you may give Theorem XI. “Not prepared. “Then, Mr. Polly, you give it.” “I went to the Senior social, too.” I had to take a Latin test. And tried to do my very best: But I got only forty-four. And never dreamed of geu.ng more— For Latin is an awful bore. It really makes my head quite sore. We hear that one of the teachers asked a few questions on a chapter in advance of the lesson. Mr. Perry was very indignant, so the teacher asked a few' questions on the preceding chapter and still Mr. Perry kneweth not. Much laugnter on the part of the class, who, it may be remarked, also kneweth not. Found on the grounds, a Junior girl's notes on flirtation. Owner may have the same by calling at this office and paying damages for the bad influence on the Senior editor. What was all the excitement about last week? Gladys Funer walked up the hill without an escort. Boys, boys. Jeannette Tschirgi went to sleep On Wednesday afternoon. Jeanette Tschrigi went to sleep While Eddie hummed a tune. Jeanette Tschirgi woke up quick. At quarter after two. She said. “At two I had a class.” Bist Fddie said. “Goo-Goo.” Georgie Sheldon, who has been absent for two weeks on account of sickness, is improving and will be able to be back in a few days. FRESHMAN NOTES By Dorothy Buell. Edwin Lord, who has been suffering from blood-poisoning is better, and we hope to see him back again. The Freshmen class Is poorly represented at girls’ basketball practice. Turn out. girls, and see how much you will enjoy it. Wanted—A pacifier for James Field to use in History and English classes. Must be strong and durable, and only of best rubber. Professor Knapp is always on hand at basketball. The Freshmen class is the most well-behaved in school, due to the fact that they wish to please Miss Kocken, who reminds them greatly of their former beloved teach er, Miss Carroll White. Miss Lula Andrews is with us again this year: also Miss Florence Masters of Dayton. Miss Kocken must be very fond of dime novels, etc., as she has quite a collection of them. ALUMNI NOTES By M. Hugo Camplin. The Alumni Association of the Sheridan High School might be called the backbone” of this institution of learning, because on the success or failuie of its graduates, depends the reputation of the school. We look down the long list of graduates, nearly 150 names long, and with no exception do we see a single cause why we should not be proud of the product of our High School. This bespeaks for itself the knowledge transmitted by proficient instructors—may it ever continue thus. Yesterday we were freshmen: today we are graduated from High School, and embarked on our life's mission: some have already taken up the struggles with the so-called cold” w'orld, w'hile others have started on professional careers, the elementary training of w’hich will take years to accomplish. THE OCKSHEPERIDA 7 An ALimnal Association is composed of many students who have graduated from the sam school or college, and nas for its aim.-? the banding together of the old classes and making it possible for the new members to become more closely allied with the older ones. While in a High School, we have ambitions, and see a higher purpcae in life, and should exert our effort constantly to attain that end. The consummation of these desires, whether they be the learning of some trade or craft; or, b? it to enter professional careers, it is without dispute and is a recognized fact that after the diplomas have ueen received that the first rung in the ladder has been reached. Following we give a brief chronicle of some of our members. Others will be mentioned in the succeeding issues: Wendell P. Cotton, 0(5, after attending I)e Pauw University at Greencastle, Ind., for two years, has ented the Northwestern Medical College of Chicago I. s year. Ralph E. Church. ’06. is a full-fledged jeweler, employed at Saint Anthony, Idaho. He received his training at the Bradley school of Peoria, 111. Henry v.

WHERE WE’RE AT. By Julia Grodavent, ’08. A letter from “Naughty Eight.” giving some interesting data concerning last year’s graduates: “Some talk of Alexander, And some of Hercules: of Hector and Lysander. And such great names as—these.” Last commencement there went out form the honored walls of the Sheridan High School what may rightly be considered the most illustrio.-s class whose record has ever adorned the fame-lit pages of the history of the High School on the hill. In response to a request from the editor of the Ocksheperida, who heretofore realized our virtues. I have gathered a few facts regarding the great” men and women who held high the standard of ’08. First comes our president. Myrtle Smith, who has gone to St. Hel ‘n s Hall at Portland, Ore., as a day pupil, while living with her aunt. She is taking a classical course, and says the school is fine. Three of our classmates chose our State University, in which to continue their education. They are Ada L. Brittain. Maud and Fred Skinner, and although the girls are homesick, they will stay and make a success of it. Fred expects to take an electrical engineering course, and the girls are both taking music besides their other work. “choppy” Miller is bottling “fiz” at Compton’s bottling works this winter. Margaret Hamilton is teaching at Big Horn, and Dora George and Jennie Reed have schools on Columbus creek. Another teacher among the 08’s is Cora Daly, and 8 the ocksheperida at Clearmont, she is teaching seven boys and girls. Success to the teachers! Fred Portz is the bookkeeper in the First National bank. Clara Waisner will return the last of this month from a long summer journey, and she will probably remain here this winter. Carrie Rruce is clerking at Freeman's Paint and Wall-paper store. When last we heard from Richardt Boeke, he w'as working but expected to go away to college. Ada Graham and Alice Stahl are at home this winter, with their future plans undecided; and Nellie Rose is at home on the ranch. At the present, 1 cannot find out where Carrie Guthery is, but she returned to her home in Ohio last summer. Mollie Adams and myself could not desert Professor Herbst, so we joined the German class and are taking music lessons from him. Although very few of us are together, and we probably will never meet again in a body, we will always be loyal to the good old Sheridan High School, and to the Green and White of 1908. athletics By Warren Ca.r.plir. Athletics is. and has been, one of the essential features of school work. The body must receive the training as well as the mind. Of course, excess is injurious, and the principle applies in this as in other things—we strongly advise moderation. Sheridan High School athl tics have been a3 saccessfi 1 as those participating could make them. School spirit is unrivaled anywhere, and at all times we have received the hearty backing and co-operation of our followers. We have suffered defeats, and have won victories alike, but point with pride to all past records, because we have done our best. We ask for the support of High School students this year, as has been accorded in previous years, and writh the material in sight for girls' and boys’ basketball, we promise defeat to our opponents this year more than ever before. At the beginning of the season football was taken up, but when we learned that nearby schools were not taking to the gridiron, and hence making it almost impossible for us to get a single game, the oval was abandoned, and basketball aspirants came to the front. To this end the spacious Kirby has again been leased for the year. No place could be built that would lend itself better to basketball than the Kirby. All things point auspiciously to a strong team—Dudley, Hasty, amplin, veterans of last year are again training for their old positions. A score of others are striving for first places. Among the foremost are; Overton, the star of the last year scrubs; Hard and rerry, from the Kearney (Neb.), Military Academy; Hillings, who is in evidence as center, and will make a strong man. Others showing up well are; Tynan, Polly, Barrett, Wood, Johnstone and Ritchie. Tne Athletic Association has been re-organized. and a new constitution adopted. The most radical change und r the new regime will be Rule II of the Hv-i,aw-. which reads; “Each contestant must b? carrying and registeirng a passing grade u each of three or more studies, requiring a minimum of fifteen regular High School recitations per week. This, wa believe, will give all an equal chance and still work no hardship) on anyone. We would like to see our neighbors place their athletes on a somewhat similar footing. The following officers were elected: President, Principial N wton It. Knapp, vice president. Hazel Stahl; secretary-treasurer, Oliver Hasty. Warren Campilin has been elected captain of the boys' basketball, and Hazel Stahl, captain of the girls' team. Overheard. This conversation between two girls is a good example of what we often hear even among High School girls. See if you can read it and rem amber to watch your conversation; and see if you articulate more idainly: •'Aincha' hungry?” Yeh. 3o'in I.

It was called the “Tyro, and only seven numbers were issued. The paper consisted of eight three-column pages, eight by twelve inches. The editors were changed every two months eo as to give as many as possible the benefit of a course in journalism. The editors were: Gertrude Biever, Lillian Mason and Lewis Tidball. Again, in 1905-G, an attempt was put forth to establish a High School paper, which was called, “The Sheridan High School.” It consisted of twenty-four two-col i mn pages, eight by six. The editor in chief was M. Hugo Camplin. Nine numbers were issued and the matter was again dropped. And now, we are again going to attempt to publish a High School paper, and hope that this time it has come to stay. Now that the Sheridan High School ranks among the first-class schools of the country, there is no reason why a paper should not be published regularly. We have done our best with the first issue, and intend to make each number a little beiter than the preceding one. It is our intention to make the contents such that it will be of interest to the general public as well as to the pupils, anj also serve to let other high schools to which the paper may go, know what we are doing. Criticisms will be kindly received. and we will try to benefit by them. We sincerely hope that our efforts will be at least partially appreciated, and that we may have the loyal support of the citizens of Sheridan. Now that we expect to publish a paper, we need the co-operation of all the High School students. The editors can do little more than fill up space, and that will be uninteresting, to say the least. Help your class editor out by writing something each month. Students, the paper is yours, ar d you are the ones who must furnish the material. Remember, that other High Schools, and even the people of Sheridan will judge us. largely by our paper. It will pay us, then, to put forth our best efforts. If you do not like what is published in the paper, write something that you do like. But come what will, “Boost, don't knock.” Charges in High School Faculty. There have been several changes in the High School faculty since last year. Professor Atkinson's place as superintendent, is filled by Prof. J. .1.

Miss Lena A. Stover’s place as principal, is filled by Mr. Newton R. Knapp, whose alma mater is Nebraska Wesleyan University. We are glad to say Miss Stover is still with us, having charge of the Department of Mathematics. Miss Alice Venters from Nebraska University, has charge of the Science Department. Mrs. J. Van Jiece Handy, our last year s science teacher, is in Oregon this year, and we understand, is not teaching. Another teacher coming from Nebiaska University is Miss Arta Kocken, who has charge of the History Department. Miss Rowena Whittier from the Wisconsin Pniv rsity, was with us last year, but in a different department. She teaches I atin this year, filling the place vacated by Miss Hutton, who is now Mrs. Edgar Edgerton of Lincoln. Neb. Miss Kate Foster, our last year’s English teacher, is not teaching this year, but is in Lincoln, doing post-graduate work at the Nebraska University. Last but by no means least. Prof. F. Herbst is still with us. He is our stand-by, having been with Us too long to need an introduction as our German instructor. EXAMINATION SYSTEM. Our examination system has been changed since last year. The year is divided into six periods, and we receive report cards with our class grade at the end of each period, but take the examinations only every three months. All students not being either absent or tardy and receiving not less than 90 per cent in any subject and not less than 90 per cent in deportment, will be excused from examinations. The honor roll for the first period is as follows: Seniors—Maurine Tschirgi. Marie I andin. Florence Pate. Doris Munford. Juniors—Mary Minnick, Nellie Reed. Hazel Stahl, Clara Wade. Sophomores — Josephine Adams. Ruth Evans. Mabel Gettys, Mabel Goehring, Nellie Polly. Freshmen—Clara Timm, Florence Taylor, Esther Johnson. Th? High School was delightfully entertained by Evangelist Wilson one morning recently. He gave us a very interesting and helpful talk and Professor Shields favored us with a vocal solo which w enjoyed very much. A Slipper of Conscience. “Mother, will you do me a favor?” •What is it? “After this is over, please don’t say that il hurts you more than it does me.” EXCHANGE By Gladys Burnett. With this first appearance of the Ocksheperida, our Exchange table is limited in its collection. Not that we do not fully appreciate the incoming magazines, but as we have not been reciprocating with a publication for the past two years, it is only a natural consequence to find other publications withheld. Now that we are again in the field, we solicit a wide exchange. The schools to which this issue finds its way are herewith solicited for an exchange. It is interesting to learn how all our educational friends are succeeding. We will appreciate any worthy criticism they may have to offer. We want our publication, with the special aid of this department to become acquainted with all. Can we not be of mutual help in this way? •5 MISTAKES OF THE SCHOOLROOM. H' Examination Papers Show Pupils’ • v Wonderful Conceptions of ❖ «► History. The London University correspondent prints some diverting mistakes from the schoolroom. For example: Shakespeare wrote a play called “The Winter’s Sale.” The Crusades w’ere a wild and savage people until Peter the Hermit preached to them. The chief crops of England are corns, the chief exports are Liverpool, Southampton and the River Thames. Shakespeare is indebted to Sir Oliver Lodge for the plot of “As You Like It.” The modern name for Gaul is vinegar. Question—Annotate. “Those like cates which the ravens administered to the Tish-bite.” Answer—The “es” ending in cates has now been contracted to “s.” A volcano is a hole in the earth s crust which emits lavender and ashes. The battle of Trafalgar was fought on th? seas therefore it is sometimes called the battle of Water-loo. “The Complete Angler” is another nam? for Euclid, because he wrote all about angles. President Roosevelt invented snorthand. A roadstead is a roadside cottage or farmhouse. The two races living in the north of Europe are Esquimaux and archatigles. The king carried his sepulche- in hi? hand. The Rhine is boarded by wooden mountains. On the low coast of Mexico yeilow fever is very popular. During the interdict, the poor were buried in uncreated ground. 12 THE OCKSHEPERIDA In the year 1593 ever parish was made responsible for the sapply of its own deserving poor. Chancer lived in the year 1300-1400. He was one of the greatest English poets alter the Mormons came to England. An unknown hand threw a harrow at Rufus and killed him dead on the spot. Adverbs ending in where are somewhere, nowhere, earthenware. Stirling was famous for its sovereigns, who used to be crowned there. A sovereign is still called a “pound Stirling.” A volcano is a burning mountain with a creature in it. Subjects have a right to partition the king. Alfred Austin was chosen by the queen as poet laureate. He said. “If you let me make the songs of tne nation, I care not who sings them.” The electrical prince of Bavaria claimed the throne of Spain. During the reformation every clergyman was compelled to receive thirty-nine articles. Some of the West India Islands are subject to torpedoes. The imperfect tense is used (in French) to express future action in past time wnich does not take place at all. Becket put on a camel-air shirt and his life at once became dangerous. Arabia has many syphoons and very bad ones: it gets into your hair even with your mouth shut. BOARDING HOUSE GEOMETRY. A scientific fellow has drawn up a boarding house geometry that is noteworthy: Some of his definitions run as follows: 1. All boarding houses are the same boarding houses. 2. Hoarders in the same boarding house, and on the same floor, are equal to one another in the matter of price, but not in the matter of outlook. 3. A single room is that which has no parts and no magnitude. 4. The landlady of a boarding house is a parallelogram: an oblong, angular figure, which cannot b? described, but is equal to anything. 5. All the other rooms being taken, a single room is said to be a double room. Among postulates and propositions the following are worthy of consideration: 1. A pie may be produced any number of times. 2. The landlady may be reduced to her lowest terms by a series of propositions. 3. A bes-line may be made from one boarding house to another. 4. The clothing of a boarding house bed, although extended indefinitely in both directions, will never meet. 5. Any two meals at a boarding house are together less than one square meal. THE NEW SCHOOLHOUSE. The new High School building On Nielsen Heights hill. Is a beautiful structure And suit you, it will. Has five nice large rooms And two spacious halls. With a basement so roomy, You can scare find the walls. We now have steam heat, Which surely seems fine To throw those old stoves Clear out of line. A place to keep clean. If you haven’t been told. For we have two kinds of water— One hot and one cold. In case of emergencies You should have to call. We have a new telephone. Downstairs in the hall. New are the seats And the blackboards are, too: And to all ugly pencil marks. We say, “skiddoo!” If you keep this quiet— We have new teachers too. And like every one. You bet we do. First, there’s Miss Venters, Graceful and tall— If you knew her. You couldn’t be naughty at all. Then there’s Miss Kocken She’s awfully sweet. The way she can teach English Is hard to beat. Now comes the n w principal. By name. Mister Knapp: And you can’t catch him In no easy trap. Of all the dear teachers. In any large crowd: Of Misses Stover and Whittier, Every pupil f els proud. You’re anxious, no doubt. Of professor, to hear: And your ears you must close. If we call him just “dear.” Now I must close And you’ll guess the rest. That the Sheridan High School Is the very best. —SENIOR. ’09. 14 THE OCKSHEPERIDA NOT INTROSPECTIVE. If you want a load of alfalfa or The minister of a large parish in a certain western diocese had for some time been much troubled by the scandalous gossip that seemed to be occupying the minds of a portion of his flock, and. after exercising a great amount of tact and perseverance at last succeeded in running to earth the originator of most of the settlement’s society slander. The guilty one was a regular attendant at thz schoolhoase services and the minister knew that should he take him to task personally and individually, he would inevitably lose a sheep—albeit a black one; so he decided to sermonize him. Accordingly, a special discourse was prepared and. the following Sunday afternoon, literally hurled at the offending member as he sat on a desk in a corner of the schoolroom. Everybody present appeared to fully appreciate the situation, and, at the c!ose of the service, departed quietly and somewhat thoughtfully for home. All except the black sheep, who lingered to assist parson” to hitch up h s team, a id to remark: That wer’ a fine sermon, s r. 1 bet that hit some on ’em pretty hard.”—Bellman.
