Now. what good it does anyone to spend all his time, money and energy in getting a lot of useless facts into his head is more than I can see. It's just a fad, a newfangled notion that's getting into all the boys’ heads nowadays, and I for one will never in any way encourage it,” and Harvey Stone brought his huge fist down upon the table with a violence which made the dishes clater, while his sharp eyes gleamed fiercely. He was a stern, fiery old gentleman, small in stature, but mighty in argument, styled by the boys as a “first-class bluffer.” leaning forward in his chair, his glasses set far out on his nose, he was emphatically delivering sweeping denunciations of higher education in general. and the Belden school in particular. His remarks seemed to be especially addressed to a tall, serious-looking boy who was standing by the window, but they were equally intended for another boy of about the same age, who sat near by saying nothing, but occasionally tossing his head indignantly. For the next few minutes, Harvey Stone's face beamed triumphantly, while the boys shifted their feet uncomfortably in embarrassed silence, at loss for an adequate reply. The boys, Ben West and Arthur Garrow, were cousins who, for several years, had been orphans, and had lived with their Uncle Harvey on his Maine farm. All had gone well until, having completed their education in the country school, they had expressed a desire to enter the High School at Belden, the nearest city. Their uncle, however, not only considered higher education folly, but was unwilling to part with the boys; so he objected to the plan and refused his aid. But they were fully determined, so this did not prevent their going. However it hindered them greatly for they had to work their own way entirely. They had succeeded nicely by working on the farm through vacations and saving their money until this last year when sickness and other unexpected incidents made such inroads upon their meager savings that December found them lacking funds with which to meet the expenses- of the rest of the term. About a week before the date of this story, at the request of their uncle, they had come home from school to help with some important work on the farm, and, as Christmas was scarcely two weeks away, they had postponed their return to school until after the holidays. But about this time, Mr. Stone announced that he was going away the next day, to be gone three weeks, so they had taken advantage of this, their last opportunity to ask him for the loan of the required sum of money which they reasoned, would be nothing more than payment in advance for part of their next summer’s work. This request however, was not favorably received and resulted in a spirited discussion concluded by these radical remarks on the part of Mr. Stone. The irrepressible Ben soon broke out in protest, but Mr. Stone checked him as he rose to leave the room. Now, boys,” he said, speaking more calmly than before, “I will give you an offer that is fair enough for anyone. I will give you a good share of all the timber you take off that back pasture of mine during the next six months. It will pay you better wages than you can get in the woods and other work is hard to get at this time of year. You may work at it so long as you like, and in any way you choose. Now, you can’t say that is not a square deal.” “Yes. uncle,” said Ben, “that would be perfectly square, and under different circumstances, we would gladly do it, but we 4 THE OCKSHEPERIDA don’t want to leave school in the middle of our last year. If we could only borrow a little to put us through, we could pay it back with interest in the summer, but we can’t borrow of anyone else if you won’t trust us.” “There is no need of borrowing,” said Mr. Stone. “I have made a comfortable, honest living without any book learning outside of what I got in the grammar school, and I reckon you can, too.” And with that, he strode out of the room. Is'nt he the tightest, meanest old skinflint you ever saw? exclaimed Ben. Now, don’t call me down for saying such things, but I really don’t see how you can take it so calmly.” There's no use raving about it,” said Arthur. We've got to do something immediately or give up school for this year. We may as well say no more about it tonight, but in the morning we’ll go and have a look at that disreputable pasture.” Well,” said Ben, I suppose we will have to give up and go to clearing the old field, but I can’t say that 1 relish finishing with next year's class.” He wandered restlessly around the room for a minute or two and then settled down to read the papers with his cousin. Well, well, listen here,” he exclaimed suddenly, “in this advertisement, a Boston merchant says he wants all the Christmas trees he can get from any part of the country. I wish he had some of those from Uncle Harvey’s back pasture; there are thousands of them there that would make beautiful Christmas trees.” I have it, cried Arthur, springing up, “lets cut a lot of them and ship them to him. It would be a splendid wav to get the money we want so badly.” But it seems like such a long way to ship them—all the way from Maine to Boston.” That isn't far,” said Arthur. and now that I think of it. Mr. Gleason shipped some three years ago and said it paid him better than anything he had ever tried. We have a week to work and still have time for them to reach Boston before Christmas. Oh. I think it is tne finest plan ” During the remainder of the evening the boys were busily occupied in planning ways and means for the enterprise, and calculating profits. Early next morning they shouldered their axe3 and started off to the pasture with revived spirits and soaring hopes. All week long they labored early and late. Although by the end of the week they had ceased to count the blisters on their hands, they were still counting and glorying in their anticipated wealth; and it was with happy hearts that they drove homeward after loading the last shapely little evergreen in the car. On Christmas day they received the payment for the shipment and found that after they had paid their uncle for his share, they would have more than enough to meet their expenses for the rest of the school year. “I certainly feel like I’m saying Merrie Christmas' in all sincerity today,” said Ben. as he waved the precious slip of paper over his head, but one thing I regret, and that is, that I won’t be here to see Uncle Harvey when he hears about it.” + + + THE LONE ROBBER. + + ---------------------- ♦ •b By Clifford Goodnight, 11. + + + ❖ ❖ ❖ A few of the old railroaders were lined up around the stove in the car-tink's shanty, telling stories of their experiences in earlier days. Finally Slim Perkins, one of the favorites among the men. spoke up, and said, “I believe I have one that will beat all the rest of yours by a mile. They all sat up and listened, for Slim usually told a fairly good story, if ha once got started. “It was on the N. P., in the spring of 1900,” he began. I was holding down the right hand side of the cab of old 244, and was pulling one of the road’s crack fliers through the Rockies. We had just started out of the station when a young fellow came running up, with a suitcase in one hand and a piece of paper in the other. He threw his suitcase through the express door which McCrag had not yet closed, and then jumped in himself, which is quite a stunt when the train is in motion. “McCrag was small, but rather muscular and was one of the best men in the employ of the road. He was always careful THE OCKSHKPERIDA 5 f t the road's property which was put in his care; so now he watched this intruder rather doubtfully. Hut the young fellow immediately handed him the piece of paper which he had in his hand when he boarded the train. He explained that he had been sent to help McCrag out a little; also that he had made a mistake in the schedule and had nearly been left behind. McCrag looked over the slip of paper and seeing that it was duly signed by 'T. B.,’ the general manager, said that he was glad he had made connections all right, and showed him where to begin work. The stranger set to work with so much care and accuracy that McCrag thought he had a fine fellow to help him; but he could not help turning every few minutes to see what the fellow was doing. The stranger apparently did not notice this, but went on with his work as if nothing had happened. Occasionally, he would cast sly glances at te safe, the door of which stood ajar; and once, while piling a couple of trunks near the safe, he noticed several canvas bags with government reals on them. Evidently there was a shipment of gold going to the Denver mint. Just then the train stopped, or merely hesitated long enough to dump off a trunk and let a passenger fall ofT the best way he could. After we had got pretty well underway aagin. McCrag felt a vice-like grip on each of his aims and in another second he was lying flat cn his back on the car floor and his helper was neatly tying him hand and foot. This done, he proceeded as calmly as ever to gag him and secure him to a large trunk. When he thought he had him tied securely, be went through his pockets for safety and removed all of his weapons. Then he opened the empty siit-case and fllljd it with the canvas bags out of the safe. When he hda put in all that his suitcase would hold without looking too heavy, he went out at the end door and rode the blind until the train started to slow up, going up a real steep grade, and then he jumped and disappeared among the shadows. Just at that m ment a whistle was heard and Slim started for his engine to prepare to pull the passenger out. “Well, they never caught their man. he shouted, as he passed the shanty on his way to the depot. + + + THE VILLAGE CRIMINAL. + ------------------------ • + By a Sophomore. 4 + + + + + + {- + + + + + + The old milk wag n rattled down the hill and struck the bridge with a vicious bump, then stopped with a suddenness that threw Uncle Jake, the driver, forward upon his knees. Uncle Jake had fit in the war from beginnin' to end” and four years of camp life had not softened his temper or reduced his supply of profane words. Now he saw no reason for restraining himself, and so the fresh morning air was treated to a perfect stream of vile words. Through it all, the old horse, who by some freak of the imagination had been named Glory, stood unmoved with ears pricked forward knowingly. So the old man got down stiffly and went arcund to his horse’s head, grumbling irritably to himself all the while. One plank of the bridge was torn up and displaced. As he was dragging it back, he saw an open knife lying just beyond the broken place. When he stooped to pick ft up, he noticed that the blade was covered with blood, and cn the bridge there was more blood and signs of a struggle. Old Jake's imagination, which had had dull fond since he had begun to drive the milk wagon, was at once filled with an hundred dire possibilities, and he decided that there had been a fight—perhaps a murder! He examined the knife more closely and on the handle found the initials, A. B.” “Why, that must be Abe Benton, thought Uncle Jake, and he suddenly remembered several things which Abe had said to him in the last week, which would lead one to suppose that he had terrible plans in his mind. True, Uncle Jake had looked upon them as jokes at the time: but now they had a new and terrible meaning. It aroused his fighting blood to think about it, and he decided instantly what he must do—arouse the village, and get the constable on the murderer’s track. A moment later, everyone in the village was awakened by the sound of rattling milk cans and the inartic date, b’ood-curd-ling yells of someone who was driving down the street at full speed. Those who (5 THE OCKSHEPERIDA rushed to their windows saw the wagon draw up in front of the constable's house and the man to run up the walk and to pound on the door. By the time John Andrews, the constable, and Uncle Jake came running back, the street was full of half-dressed men, women and children—all demanding to know what was wrong. Receiving no reply, they followed the two men down to the bridge, and there Uncle Jake explained all that he knew about it. The crowd was horror-stricken at this charge against their old neighbor, and at first refused to believe it. But the evidence seemed so strong that one by one they began to add things which he had said and done lately that would lead one to suspect that he intended to do something like this. “I recollect now,” said old Pete Sanders, thoughtfully, as how he says to me t'other day into Dolan's, says he, ‘Seems as though I got to do somethin' desp'rate pretty soon seein's Ihain't done nothin’ for so long.’ Yessir, them’s his very words.” At any other time they would have laughed at this as one of Abe’s good-natured threats about going to work, but now everyone saw it in a different light. By this time the wild-lojking procession had reached Dolan’s general store, and the constable, who had not spoken a word since he heard the news, mounted a chair which stood outside the door. He rapped on the wall for silence, and then in a few short words he stated the case, and asked for volunteers to help search for Abe Benton. As he spoke his lips drew tight, and several of the older people in tne crowd remarked that he and Abe had been schoolboys together. But John Andrews had become the constable, highly respected by all his neighbors, and Abe Benton became known as the laziest man in the village. So John resclved to do his duty even in the case of his friend. A half dozen men had volunteered, and the constable had stepped down from the chair, when someone asked, Who was it?” “Who was it?” a dozen voices echoed, “why, Abe Benton!” “I know.” said the first speaker, “but whom did he kill?” Everyone looked at everyone else, and all were silent. This was a point they had overlooked. Just then the telephone inside the store rang and Mr. D;lan lurried to answer it. When he came back it was plain to all that he had learned something more about the startling case. Dave Bailey’s missing,” he began; but he got no farther. I reckon we can put two and two together,” said old Pete, glancing around over the crowd which seemed to echo his sentiment. Everyone began to talk at once and everyone had something to add to the already enormous tale. There had been a dance the night before, and both the missing men had been there. One man raid that at 12 o’clock when he was coming home he had seen them both cross the bridge and disappear into the bushes. Presently they had reappeared and stopped cn the bridge. Just then he had reached home and had seen nothing more. Perhaps if he had but waited a minute he could have prevented this crime, which would place a blot upon the history of the village forever. Since he could learn nothing more, the constable gathered his men together and set out in search of the criminal. It was hard to follow the trail for although it was midwinter, there was very little snow upon the ground, and anyone not wishing to leave a trail could easily avoid doing so. The crowd about the store gradually thinned as the day advanced, but toward noon it assembled again; the men gathered about the general store, and the women collected next door at Miss Pent's millinery shop. They were talking, of course, about the events of the morning. They discussed Abe Benton's character thor-o.ghly; they pitied his pcor old mother who had been dead ten years, and thanked heaven that he had no family to suffer from his d sgraee. Uncle Jake sat on the apple barrel in the corner and told for the fiftieth time just how and where he had found the knife; but poor old Cllory still r.tocd tied by the constable's gate, feeling anything but glorious. Presently a hush fell upon the crowd, and all eyes were turned toward the street. And then in through the open door came Abe Renton himself! For a moment no on spoke. Then Simon Bradley, who had been given the constable’s authority during the abrence cf John Andrews, stood up THE OCKSHEPERIDA 7 and drew from behind him the bloody knife. Abe Benton,” he said slowly and impressively,” this knife was found ----------” 'Why, so it was,” said Abe, in a mildly surprised way.” “Where'd you find it?” and he reached out his hand for it. But the deputy ignored his words and act. This nife was found.” he repeated again hut Uncle Jake grew Impatient. “Abe,” he jelled, jumping excitedly to his feet. You’re arrested!” With difficulty, he was put down, and Simon continued, It was found on the east bridge, covered with blood!” “Well,” said Abe in an amused way. Supposin’ it was? What’s that to you? That was too much for Uncle Jake. He feaped upon a counter, and no one could stop him until he had told the whole story, with a few original variations. At first, Abe laughed; then he became as excited as he ever allowed himself to become. Me kill Dave Hailey?” he asked, Why he's my best friend, next to John Andrews. Then he added more quietly, If you’ll all be still. I'll tell you all about it. When Dave and I lert the dance, he told me he had caught a rabbit on the way in. and said I could have it if I would help him kill it. He had it hidden in some bushes on the other side of the bridge so when we got to the bridge, Dave asked why should he come back any further, so we killed it right there, and I lost my knife. Thank you for finding it. I guess you-know the rest.” “Rut where is Dave?” persisted Simon Bradley. “Why, what's wrong with him?” asked Abe. “He has disappeared!” Abe looked stunned for a moment, but before he could recover himself enough to reply, the teleph ne rang. Simon answered it, and when he came back, there was a look of disappointment lurking in his face. “Dave has been found,” he said bluntly. He was in the haymow asleep all the time.” Abe seemed relieved. “Uncle Jake.” he said, smiling broadly. I'm goin' to have rabbit pie for dinner tomorrow. Won't you come and help me eat It? “No.” said Uncle Jake, retreating hastily. “No, thanks. I calkilate to be right busy all day tomorrow.” + SENIOR NOTES. ----- •S By Clara Wade. ❖ + •♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦+♦ + ♦♦♦ + Nineteen nine has parsed, and nineteen ten, that used to seem so far away, is here at last. Even if it is last we will see to it that it is by no means least. We have found a slang word In Virgil's classic “Aeneid,” so we have decided it must be proper to use it. It is “Nate Dea.” meaning, “Oh, you son of a Goddess!” What is it in Chemistry laboratory that reminds us of Juniors?” Why. copper oxide, when nitric acid is poured over it.” Virgil Class Motto:—“Dum Spiro, Spero.” (While we live, we kick.) In Chemistry laboratory we have been making N-2 O (nitrout oxide), called “laughing gas ” by some. So if there is any unusual exictement in Room Four, that will account for it. “Why is Ruth so musical?” Because she wears a brass band n her arm!” For a Purpose. When Senior girls wear heavy braids. And flatten down their hair, They do it just for fun. you know. And—to show that hair is there. The study of Macbeth is interesting and quite different from the other plays we have studied. Not Far Away. Nineteen ten is here And in its spicy air, We realize the fact, at last Graduation day is near. 8 THE OCKSHEPERIDA Someday. And, Pal! you surely see Ed. J., In good old Sheridan High, When we were classmates: good old days. The days of yen and X. Oh, Pal! Where are the dear old friends. The mates so loyal and true. Who ever were defenders of The Yellow and the Blue. Then, Pal! there was the good old class, Now long since passed from sight. The ones who fought with heart and hand. For the Purple and the White. So Pal! let’s talk about the days That will not come again; About the class, the best of all— The Class of Nineteen Ten. Remember, Pal! those face well; Remember Clara Wade.

The members of the Senior class wish to thank the President of the Wyoming University for the interest shewn in our work by the letters and Wyoming Students recently sent us. Senior—I have been a -ked to write an essay, but all I can write is “S. A.” There are several new rings in the Senior class that are gifts of Santa Claus: but one came a little too late tor one of his gifts, causing thereby a great deal of interest, and probably curiosity. Several members of the class who went home for the hol.day3 were snowbound and did not get back until Tuesday. Moral “Never go skating in nitric acid.” If you care for further advice, just ask Sarah. In Arithmetic Class. It would be hard to determine which is the thicker—the log or some of our heads. The School Board has been kind enough to get s. me new reference books for the library and now we do not need to go to the city library for our outside reading. + + + + + + JUNIOR NOTES. 4 ❖ 4 + By Georgia Sheldon. 4 ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ We are again at scool after our short holiday vacation, all more or less Interested in the new work we are taking up. We are beginning the study of Rome in History, finding it even more interesting perhaps than Greece. Physics is as hard as ever, and at any time during the day one may hear someone mourning over the grade he or she did not get. Everyone has probably noticed a marked change for the better in us, for we have just finished reading Emerson's essay on behavior. Last, but not least, is our German; least said about it, the better. Nelle Polly spent her vacation at Park-man. We would advise everyone to take Miss Kocken's advice and cut out slang. Rosa Ferguson has been absent two weeks on a trip to Omaha and Iowa. It’s a Sign. When people shout and laugh and sing It’s a good sign that they’re happy. When people quarrel and grouch and kick It’s a sign they’re feeling scrappy. When people pine and moan and sigh, It's a sign that they’re not well. When SENIORS listen and sneak and pry. It's a sign—Well can't you tell? THE OCKSHEPERIDA 9 Helen Informs us that she made some good resolutions January 1st. We are glad she told us, otherwise we would not have known. Helen Huffman was absent two days in December. She started to Lincoln, but got homesick, it is said, and came back. Why Not? “Is that Bud A.? I never knew He smoked a pipe before.” “He never did, but don’t you know, He’s now a Sophomore.” Charles, in German Class—“I have loved, etc.” Now the whole class Is anxiously awaiting the rest. Frnncis Eggart was absent three days in December on account of illness. Seymour actually missed a question in German class the other day; but he was the thirteenth to get It, so what could one expect? Mr. M.—Where are the Piedmont Mountains? Wise Soph.—Why—er—I believe. South America. Mrs. Castor says that almost all important early reforms have started in or about Lincoln. How about it? We would remind the Seniors of the old saying: Eavesdroppers never hear any good of themselves.” If a small piece of crayon is left in Room Pour for Professor Herbst, we are sure he will not abuse the privilege. December 8th we received our exemption slips. As usual, there was much discussion, sympathy for those not excused and great indignation against those who were. The Juniors wish to thank the Seniors for a little treat on December 24th. On January 3d. Freshie—Which it is—1909 or 19010? Senior—Why, 19010: of cjurse. Mr. Murphy gave the Physics classes a very entertaining and convincing explanation of the Darwinian theory the first Monday after vacation. Some, however, are yet of the opinion that there was never a monkey in their family tree. The President of the Sans Pared has kindly told us that the critic “it” is elected by the program committee. Helen (In History)—The Romans were very much alarmed because the Alps were coming down from the north! (No .wonder! There was cause for alarm.) In stormy weather the wind whistles around the corners of large buildings. Why, Jeanette whistles around the laboratory at all times! The Juniors held a class meeting December 21st. The seniors made many faithful promises to be there. However, they must have gotten cold feet for they failed to appear. We don't wonder at this, for the night was very cold. Miss Kocken—Who ruled after the expulsion of the kings from Rome? Pupil (whose enunciation is somewhat faulty)—A D’archy. Teacher—When the Romans wanted to consult Oracles, where did they turn, seeing they had none in Italy? Pupil—They turned to Greece. In the midst of a recitation in German the other day, Roy Pate threw open the window with a loud nuise. Prof, glared at Roy, and said, “Repeat that, please; I didn't catch it.” Clifford (in History)—They took all the gold and treasure of Rome; but they couldn’t take the hill. Seeing a sign “$20 for 1909 pennies,” Seymour Sharpe in a speculative mood, took twenty-five 1909 pennies, and demanded the $20 per for them. Imagine his surprise when he was told that he lacked over 1.800 pennies. The firm was offering $20 for nineteen hundred and nine pennies. 10 THE OCKSHEPERIDA 4 J� 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ‘I 3 ❖ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4� 4 4 4 4 4 4- 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 v 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 ❖ 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 f 4 4 4 4 4 4 ❖ A ❖ 4 4 4 • 4 4 4 4 f 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 be Sbeirid nn Post Prints Jill the Hews BECAUSE IT PRINTS THE NEWS—IT IS READ BY NEARLY TWO TIMES AS MANY PEOPLE IN NORTHERN WYOMING AS ANY OTHER PAPER.

Willis Barrett EDITORIAL By this time the gloss of our New Year’s resolutions has worn off and things are running normally again. Of course, we all look for improvements and expect to find them, too. Our High School resolution for this year might well be, “boost ” There are still some who cannot resist the temptation to date papers 1909;” but mcst of us are getting so used to the new year that we can write 1910 at least at the second, and often at the first attempt. At last an Exchange table has been put in the Assembly room and is being pretty generally patronized. When reading the exchanges, it would be well to compare them with our paper; but it is requested that all exchanges be left at the table, rather than taken to the desks. The Literary societies have been organized and have adopted the names “Ciceronian” and “Sans PareP.” Each society has charge of the program every alternate week. The first program was given on Christmas Eve. by the Ciceronian society, and was much enoyed. The Sans Pareil society had charge of a most excellent program the first Friday morning in January. We are glad to see the societies take so much interest in debating, for we certainly are in need of oratorical training. Athletics are coming back to life, and the members cf the Athletic Association are wearing the “smile that w’on’t come off.” The daily attendance in the H!gh School during the cold weather has been remarkably good. The new books for the library have arrived, and much pleasure and benefit are being derived from their use. If the Board continues making annual library appropriations. we shall have a fine collection of books in a few years. CICERONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. How About It?

However, it was, in most cases, a nightmare, rather than a dream. The following was observed in one of our leading periodicals: Leading educa- tors of the United States have agreed that it would be much better if more male teachers were employed in the public schools. The main reason given was that the majority of female teachers, especially those who have passed the thirty line,” are inclined to fav r the bays.” (How about it?)

We have had the good fortune to secure the Auditorium at a very reasonable rate and practice is.now being held each evening. We could have hardly wished for a better place in which to practice and hold our contests. The Auditorium is well lighted and heated, while another feature welcomed by all is the separate dressing room for each player. The spectators will gladly hail the two balconies, as now everyone will be able to see without having to climb the back of their chair at the risk of a hard fall. Another thing which should be looked after is the rooting. Everybody knows that good, enthusiastic, organized rioting has helped win many a game. But everyone also knows that a bunch of rooters strung around the hall, each yelling at his or her pleasure are little better than none at all. So let those of us who do not make the team, get together and do something How about it? THE OCKSHEPERIDA 13 SHERIDAN WINS AND LOSES. The High School basketball season opened Saturday, January 22, by two games with Buffalo High School. The first game, played between the girls' teams of the two schools, resulted In a victory fcr our team; while in the boys' game, Buffalo carried off the honors by a margin of four points. An enthusiastic but orderly crowd of over four hundred people attended the games, assisting materially in rooting and swelling the financial receipts. The S. H. S. rooters certainly carried out their part of the program in fine style, using all their yetis and roasts with might and main, vfter the games, a reception was tendered the members of the four teams by the Athletic Association. One thing which was particularly noticeable was the ill-feeling existing between the two schools. Let us forget it” during the games and afterward. The best results in basketball can be achieved where competing teams are on friendly terms. Beys’ Game. During the first half of the boys' game, Buffalo received somewhat of a surprise in the strength cf their opponents. With but two-weeks’ practice, the Sheridan boys surprised everybody. With the knowledge that Buffalo had been practicing practically since school started and that the Sheridan team was handicapped in this re-spec our boys realized that if they won it would have to be done by strong guarding rather than good throwing. This was the Sheridan boys’ tactics (nm start to finish. Camplin was playing guard against Buffalo's best forwatd and held him down hard through both halves. Ackerley, the other guard, did well in keeping his opponent from making goals. Billings was up against a tall and powerful center, but he showed plainly that with a little more practice he could look after his position with ease. Our forwards made a fine showing, hut were held down, both by lack of practice and the long-trained Buffalo guards. Most of the scoring on Sheridan’s side was done by free throws resulting from fouls. The final score was 19 to 15 In favor of Buffalo. With additional practice, our boys are confident of turning the tables in the return game to be played in Buffalo in the near future, and it would not be surprising if they made tl.e victory so decisive that it would more than even accounts. The line-up of the teams was as follows: B. H. S. Position. S. H. S. Lawrence, Capt... Forward ________Barrett Ross.............. Forward .........Overton Miller...... Center ...............

Amid great enthusiasm combined with the rousing yells of the rooters, the Sheridan High School basketball girl-i entered their first game of the season with the Buffalo team on January 22. Both teams were strong and consequently a hard, exciting game was played. Mr. Murphy, science teacher of cur High School, acted as umpire, and Jean Van Dyke of Buffalo as referee. At the close of the first half, the score stood in Sheridan’s favor which seemed to cause the teams to play with all their might to win. During the fore part of the second half, the Buffalo team glined the leading point, hut Sheridan would not permit the lead to stand and the final score resulted in favor of our girls the score being 15 to 10. During the game the following players made field goals: Hazel Stahl, two; Dor- othy Buell, three, and Nell’e Flint, one. The remainder of the points were made by foul throws.

The bright October days are almost gone The leaves are falling faster day by day, The wind keeps moaning softly all daylong; Along the woodland paths the squirrels play. The autumn flcw’rs are gone from by the way; The hungry deer now search for grass in vain; The little brook seems just as bright and gay. As if the summer had not gone again. And all seems reconciled now to cold and rain. By Nellie Reed, ’10. The year is like a summary of life— Each has its summer, winter, spring and fall. The spring of each is gay and free from strife, But fall, we hold the sweetest of them all; For things found best come just before the call That ends all things. And grim cold Death doth yearn. For us, as winter with its dark gray pall Engulfs the year: While we can never learn Of where we go; from whence none ever do return. —Tiverton Tynan, ’10.
