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.”

Those who took them and received the marks that are indicative of good, honest work for the preceding twelve weeks have every reason to be well satisfied for they not only have received their reward, but have the consciousness of work well done. Lastly, for those who failed to receive satisfactory marks, or sadder st 11, failed to pass, there is the consolation that the year is but one-third gone and we have every chance to ne-gin anew. Thus far, our school year has bet u broken up and each time a good start was made, it was hindered by a vacation. Now, we will have a straight term until the end of the year. Let us aror.se ourselves and “make good. Those whose grades averaged over 90 per cent for the entire twelve weeks are as follows: Seniors: Maurlne Tschirgi, Doris Mun- fcrd. Florence Pate. Mar e Landin. Juniors: Amy Jackins, Eva William-. Hazel Stahl. Mary Minnick. Nellie Ree.i, Lucy Fedderson. Sophomores: Josephine Adams, Helen Stuby. Sadie Aber, Willis Barrett. Grover Bramel. Ruth Evans. Mabel Gettys, Mabelle Goehring, Peter Paul. Elmer Polly Nellie Polly. Georgle Sheldon, Ona Toland Jeanette Tschirg . Freshmen: Nellie Thompson, Esther Johnson, Dorothy Buell, Herbert Bramel. Clara Timm, Clarence Wagner, Florence Taylor. Since so many of our exchanges are having trouble in pronouncing the name of our paper, the editor has decided to try to make it a little more clear to them. As has already been explained. “Ocksheper da’’ is the name for “Camp Crier, in the Crow Indian language. These Indians are numerous here and Indian names are very common to us. but to our eastern friends, we admit, it might be a little confusing. Ocksheperida is pronounced “Ock-she-per’-i da.“ Accent ?s on the third syllable. With this information we can hardly see how anyone could fail to pronounce It corrects.
