3 T11K OCKSHEPERIDA class of 1910 the very best. The Juniors the the ones that can do it, too. Skating has been excellent during vacation. Every night some Junior's voice could be heard floating on the still air. And He Left It All. Old Santa came to town last month. And called on a Senior, dear. He took a peep, and then he sa d, I'll leave no presents here.” So on he sped to the Junior’s home. Who was very busy with his Lit,” He gave a smile and in he came And left his pack—every bit. Grace Ridley spent her vacation clerk;ng in the Broken Dollar Store. We wonder what was the attraction. It surely was'at the Broken SOPHOMORE NOTES By Josephine Adams. Moving Day. Georgia Sheldon with her arms full of books and papers was making her way down the aisle in the Assembly room. Just then an inquisitive Junior poked her head in at the door and said: “Why, Georgia, are you moving?” “Not at all,” said Georgia, with a scowl. “I am just taking these books out for a walk, that’t all.” We are all very glad to see that Clifford Goodnight is over his long illness, and is with us in school again. In Latin, the Sophomores are taking up some of the Roman customs and ways of living. “Some prose is also being done. Another Christmas has come and gone. During our vacation, we slid into 1909 so easily and quickly that nine out of ten have as yet been unable to write '09 without first writing ’08, and then erasing it. There were several surprises at Edwrard Martin’s surprise party the other evening. The most important, as reported by Jeanette Tschirgi, was that Ed could sing. The editor thinks that those who handed in notes for the paper deserve special mention. It will not take long to do it for Georgia Sheldon and Jeanette Tschirgi composed the list. Gertrude Coyne has been absent from school for some time, but she is back to start 'n the New Year. FRESHMAN NOTES By Dorothy Buell. A Sophomore stood on the burning deck; But as far as we could learn. He stood in perfect safety. For he was too green to burn. Clark Pierce has been absent from school some time on account of the popular epidemic—“smallpox.” The “A” division of the Ninth grade are through with the “Vicar of Wakefield.” Hallelujah! Sing a song of sixpence. A pocket full of rye. Seven little B. B. g'rls Starting on a fly; Seven little suit-cases standing in a row, Seven little good-byes, and off they go. Seven little sore-heads (glad-hearts), the very next day, We beat Newcastle (got beaten), ve hear them say. One little laugh or one little moan? Seven little B. B. girls, safe at home. Vera Hughes and Florence Brown have left Sheridan—the former for Roundup, Mont., and the latter for Oregon state. We are sorry to lose the girls and hope to see them again in the near future. Annice Cahill and Minnie Enochs have forsaken the grand old High School for Spencer’s Business College. Very sorry they made such a mistake. The Freshmen class was well represented during the cold spell, even if they did frost their noses and ears slightly.

;:il: ocksheperida 7 Exams! Oh, let's talk about something more pleasant. They were such a frost— rather, a cold wave. The Seniors were moved up to the Assembly room, hut Miss Stover missed their smiling faces and winning ways so very much that she had Mr. Knapp grant the perm ssion of having them down in her room again. Met a ham sandwich (Mrs. Payne’s own make), that Santa Claus passed the Seniors up cold: serves us right, though. See how we passed the exams. Can’t expect two blessings in succession. De Royce Dudley ate Christmas turkey with the folks at home, hut had to hurry back for the basketball game at Billing3. Several Senior boys w’ent to Billings during Christmas week, but we haven’t been very successful in finding out about people around there except for the few wild r»j-inarks Oliver Hasty lets escape once in awhile. Junior (after Christmas)—I hear you’ve been livin’ off’n the fat o’ the land. What d ye eat it wid? Smart Senior—With the forks of the road, of course. Pauline Is becoming a real shark in Chemistry. She can figure out anything you hand her. If you don’t believe it, just try her. JUNIOR NOTES By Lucy Fedderson. The Junior’s Troubles. Physics is an awful study— Oh, it is a fright: When I go into the laboratory. I feel like I could fight. And General History, too, I think. That it is just as bad. Whene’er I see room number three, It simply makes me mad. And then, there is that awful Dutch, But w'hat I cannot see, Is how' professor e’er expects To pound it into me. But worst of all is Literature; It surely is a shame. To make us learn all author’s works And call them all by name. But then our time is coming. 'Tis work that makes us men: So, if we don’t succeed at first. We’ll try and try again. Ethel Baker spent the holidays at her home in Gillette. Downey Frank spent a very delightful vacation visiting friends in Lincoln and Omaha. She says she had a good time autorng about the streets of the great city. Amy Jackins went home to spend the holidays. Mr. Knapp (in Literature)—Miss Minnie Burnett, mention in age sequence .the authors that we have studied. Miss B. (absent-mindedly)—Mr. Knapp, how many di 1 you say for us to m—m—marry? We are glad to see Edward Jackson at school again. Mr. Jackson had quite a siege of vaccination. He informs us that it always takes in the weakest place. Old Santa was quite liberal this year lie left a sack of presents at each Junior’s door, each sack bearing this inscription. “To the industrious, hard-w'orking. deserving Juniors.” Hazel Stahl, our expert basketball player, went to Buffalo, December 18th, to play for tilt Business College in their game. She re. ports having had a good t ine. Miss Stover kindly gave the Juniors the sunny side of the Assembly room. They are bright and always looking on the sunny side of life, so they deserve the bright ani sunny east. We are beginning a new year and the Juniors have resolved that they w’ll make the

THE OCKSHEPERIDA 9 EXCHANGE By Maurine Tschirgi. “The Wolf Hall Banner” (Denver, Col.), is a very interesting and suggestive paper. In “The Fram,” (Sandusky, Ohio), the stories are well written and the notes are plentiful, but there are not so many cuts in this paper as we would expect from its criticism of others. “The Wyoming Student,” (Laramie. 'Wyoming), contans very interesting reading matter, but is without an exchange column. Credit should be given “The Evening School Voice” (Cincinnati. Ohio), on its several headings of the class notes. They are very appropriate. Athletic notes are g'ven an important place in “The Totem ’ (Wannamae, Ind.) extend our thanks to the “Picayune, for the “God speed,” it has wished us and want to send the same “right back to you.” “The Somerset” (Somerset, Ky.)f is as interesting as usual. “The Classicum” (Ogden. Utah), is a new exchange which we hope will come often. Judging by the paper, we would say that they have an excellent High School. But. Class cum. where is your Exchange column? Another new exchange on our table is “The Yeatman Life” (St. Louis, Mo.), and is one of the most complete magazines we have received. The club notes are interesting and speak well for the school. “The Observer” (Chillicothe, Ind.), made its usual visit this month. We received “The Caerulea” from Long Beach, Cal., this month, through a member of our faculty. It is without exception, the best High School paper we have seen thus far and one which we would be glad to see on our Exchange table often. We recived this month, with pleasure, the following well-filled papers: X. P. H. S. Roundup, North Platte, Neb., The Booster. Chadron, Neb.; The Wertern Union Journal Le Mars, Iowa; Hastings Collegial, Hastings, Neb. Another new exchange on oar tabic this month is The Yeatman Life. St. Louis. Mo. It Is one of the most complete magazines we have reczived. The Clab notes are interesting and speak we’.l for the school and the humorous department was well re-mem be; ed. The whole story: Cram, Exam; Flunk, Trunk. Gee! That Billings Game. We’re not afraid of Bill’ngs, We’re not afraid of them; We’ve got a bunch of players Full of ginger and with vim. They wanted the game in Billings, Xnd that’s enough to show That they wTere afraid of our parade And also, even “dough.” We think we have a nut to crack, Of Buffalo we thought the same. And when the Buffalo boys went home. They’d lost their basketball fame. So never worry, just play ball, And give them what you know; And Sheridan rooters will always call Just any old kind of dough. So play the game and get the fame And play with with all your ginger. The bell will ring and we will sing. “Sheridan’s got the winner.” An old darky wfho was sick, having received no relief from his colored physician, sent for a wh’te doctor. The doctor came and after looking at the old fellow', and feeling his pulse, asked if the colored doctor had taken his temperature. “Sor I don’ know , sah,” said the old man. “I ain’t missed nothin, but ma’ wratch.“—Ex. Nellie greased the sta rs with soap. Papa struck the slippery slope. Mama said. “Hasn’t Xell’e tact? I always look so w'ell in black.”
