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that the Sheridan High School ranks among the first-class schools of the country, there is no reason why a paper should not be published regularly.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.

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. Less go'n eat.” “Where?” Sleeve go one i lacs nuther.” “So dy, 1 ka neat mo steny where, Can-choo?” “Yeh—Gocher money?” “Yeh—Got choors . “Yeh. How bout place crosstreet? “Nothing teat there.

I bdieve you said, Rastus, that you had a brother in the mining business in the West?” “Yes, boss, that's so.” “What kind of mining: Gold mining, silver mining, copper mining?” “Kalsomining, sah.”
