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the Sheridan High School ranks among the first-class schools of the country, there is no reason why a paper should not be published regularly.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

tup: ocksheperida 11 Washington University. 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.

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.
