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?

12 THE OCKSHEPERIDA + + + + + + + SOPHOMORE NOTES. + + ----------------- + + By Dorothy Buell. + + Miss Willits — Herbert, that translation of Caesar is anything but correct. Herbert—Oh, that's all right; it's just a liberal translation any way. Florence Masters is with us again after a long absence, due to illness. Mr. Hawkes—(in Geometry)—Clara, what is the plural of radius? Clara—Er—um—diameter. The Sophomore English class has at last managed to get Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream off its hands. 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?) If members of the clasp do not get busy and hand in items, the Sophomore notes will soon be very conspicuous for their ab-sence. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦ ♦«❖ • FRESHMEN NOTES. + ------------------ By Emma Thurmond ❖ 9 .j. .5. - • • • The class mourns the loss of several members: Beulah Scullen. Eva Clements and Osborne Teague. Edith Soott and Hazel Loman enjoyed their Christmas vacation on the ranch. Edythe Polly spent New Year’s with her father in Parkman. The Christmas vacation slipped by pleasantly for Nellie Ray. She visited friends and relatives in Shanute, Kan. A number of the Freshmen hoys composed a paper of their own, called The High School Lyre.” The class wishes them all success. Myrtle Carroll has been absent from school for several weeks on account of a slight attack of the scarlet fever. We hope to have her with us soon again. The people thought a great landslide had come last week when Bernice Cahill, after climbing to the top of the hill, slid to the bottom; the result was not serious. Jesse Eubank has returned to school after enjoying a pleasant trip to Tacoma, Wash. ♦ ♦ + ATHLETICS. + + --------------------- . •F By Tiverton Tynan. + •S + ♦ ❖ Basketball is now in full swing. 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?
