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.

Harr Id Barrett Secretary-Treasurer Sadie Aber Critic ................... 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?
