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.
