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. Polly, Camplin, Smithy, too; Where have their footsteps strayed? Aye, Pal! think back o’er the long years, Of Lucy, Beulah, Ridley, Eva, Ella, Hattie, Ruth, And laughing Sarah Gridley. And, Pal! you surely see Ed. J. Amy and Hazel, too; Josie, Minnie and Gladys B., Help'd make that jolly crew. Oakley, Nellie, Luclle T., All appear to me, With Ethel, Mary, Edward M., Yours truly, T. T. T. But, Pal! sigh not for bygone days, Be happy now, as then. When Life’s hard trail is past, we’ll see. The Class of Nineteen Ten. —By Senior of Class ’10. 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 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.

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.
