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 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.

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
