IVII Number 3 THE ATTAINMENT OF PERFECT BEAUTY By Mabelle Goehring, ’ll. Long, long ago there lived in a tiny country, in an obscure corner of Europe, a noble king. This king’s name was Ordo, and his queen’s name was Silvene. They were much loved by their people, not only on account of their goodness, but also on account of their little daughter, the princess Winifred. Winifred was the pride of her parents, and the idol of her people, for a sweeter child would have been hard to find. She was very beautiful, her hair being a dark, dark brown, and her eyes a clear deep blue. Her old teacher, Rothgar, often said that some day she would he a perfect beauty. This pleased the queen, for her dearest desire was to have a beautiful daughter. Rut as years went by Winifred’s face lost its exquisite beauty to some extent, and the prophesy seemed likely to prove untrue. Yet about her there was a great strangeness. At one moment she would be so beautiful as to startle the beholder, and at others she was very plain indeed. The changeability of the princess’ beauty became the talk of the hour, and many artists who tried to paint her portrait were dismayed to find changes so great as to ruin a picture accomplished in one short hour. Doctors and specialists were consulted, but all they could do was to suggest a change, so Winifred, at the age of 15, was sent to a distant land to live with her mother’s people. On her twenty-first birthday she returned to the court of her father, and in her honor a large ball was given. The guests had assembled in the halls when Winifred came down the stairway, radiantly happy. “How beautiful she is!’’ exclaimed people to their neighbors. “How lovely! None can compare with Winifred.” The music began and a young prince from a neighboring country led Winifred out for the first dance. “How beautiful you are tonight—” he commenced, but the speech froze on his lips, for the fair face before him had lost its beauty, and looked old, gaunt and worn. The silence was exceedingly painful to both, especially since many of the guests had noticed the change. Soon her face resumed its natural beauty, but not before she had noticed the looks of pity, and had seen the people whispering among themselves; for these were very superstitious people, and to them this changing meant some calamity. “They do not care for me,” reflected Winifred bitterly, “they only love my beauty. Do they suppose that I am unconscious of the curse which has followed me since rhildhood ? But then—ah. me—how should they know since they have not seen my agony as I watched my changing countenance in the mirror?” To her partner she said, “The people are so happy and so good to me tonight, why should I not be happy?” When the dance was ended she fled quietly to the old schoolroom of her childhood. “Oh, Rothgar, my noble teacher, would that you had never spoken those ill-fated words! Even my parents are disappointed in me! Oh, woe is me!” After a time she rejoined the dancers, but her heart was heavy and most of the time her face bore the horrible look of pain. Winifred’s birthday was over and the mystery was still unsolved. So Winifred asked her father to send for Rothgar that he might advise her. Now Rothgar was in 4 THE OCKSIIEPEBIDA foreign lands, studying and teaching, but when he heard of his pet’s need he hastened at once to Ordo’s court. When he had been told all, and had seen for himself Winifred’s pitiable plight, he shook his head and sighed, Oh, Winifred, my dearest pupil and the idol of my old heart, something tells me that your trouble is caused by unhappiness.” “Unhappiness,” gasped the queen, “when she has everything her heart can desire? “My daughter, have you ever been unhappy?” she demanded almost fiercely of Winifred. “Blessed mother, dear teacher and honored father, to you all I would say that I have never experienced extreme emotion for any length of time. At times 1 have been radiantly happy, but my ailment has prevented much of that. But 1 have never been unhappy because of this malady. So no unhappiness has caused it.” “Bear with me,” said Rothgar, “until I have finished. I am an old man, but I have learned much of the science of reading the future from Chaldean scholars. Perhaps you do not feel unhappy, but let me tell you a bit of history. You come of a poor but worthy family. Your ancestors suffered much persecution, and all of their faces bore such traces of pain as we see on yours when you are stricken by the malady. A deed of valor brought one of your ancestors into prominence and he became such a court favorite that when tin old king died childless and alone, he willed the throne to the son of his favorite. Since then the royal line has remained in your family, but the suffering will not cease until you help to relieve the suffering of others.” “You mean,” said Winifred, “that T do not give enough?” “Yes,” answered the old man. “That is all I may tell you now. even though 1 see that you do not comprehend my use of the word 'give.’ But again I say unto you that one day Winifred shall be a perfect beauty.” When Rothgar had again left the court Winifred commenced to seek her beauty. Her mother bade her lose no opportunity to give. So she gave a gold piece to a beggar, a necklace to a poor girl, and many other priceless gifts. She watched for any change in her countenance, but alas, none came. In fact, her beautiful moments became more rare and she was fast becoming a plain, middle-aged woman. Not long after this Ordo died, and Sil-vene, the queen, soon followed, so Winifred was queen. Her people loved her for her generosity and spoke respectfully of her as their “maiden queen.” Her enemies laughed and called her the “homely” queen. Now Winifred lived to be an old, old woman, and the last part of her reign was so troubled that at times she felt entirely friendless. She felt that her fawning courtiers loved not her but her kingdom and its wealth. One night, as Winifred drove through the town in her sleigh, she saw huddled up in the snow a tiny child. The night was bitter cold and the child was scantily clothed. She ordered the driver to stop, and stepping out she gathered the child up in her arms. She had just lately given up the fruitless search for beauty, and her thoughts were only of the child. Tenderly she cared for the infant, and since no one claimed it she decided to keep it. “For,” she said, “the Christ was a child and my ancestors suffered. This child is friendless and so am I, it seems, so we shall be friends to each other.” That night all noticed a great change in Queen Winifred. She seemed happier and more beautiful. As she bent over the cot to kiss the babe, the transformation was completed. A voice in her ear whispered: “This you might have had long years ago, had you given without selfish motives.” “What might I have had?” she asked. But there was no reply, and no one else had heard the voice. “Look, look!” cried one of the ladies in waiting, “the queen! She is beautiful- -she has the perfect beauty!” Everyone looked, and it was so. The queen herself felt happier than ever before, and kneeling beside the baby’s bed she cried, “Oh, Rothgar, at last I have found true happiness, which is perfect beauty.” And ever after she was known as Winifred the True Beauty. If you do not believe this you may some day lie so fortunate as to find in the castles THE OCKSIIEPERIDA 5 of that country documents telling of the you the name of the country, for it has long Perfect Beauty Winifred. But I cannot tell since been absorbed by a larger monarchy. AN ARIZONA SANDSTORM By Nova Moody, T2. It was a sultry day in July, and Phoenix lay baked beneath the sun. It was so hot that the very air seemed to vibrate and quiver. No breeze stirred, and the sunbaked earth seemed hard as stone to the bare feet of the few Indians trudging aimlessly up and down the narrow streets. All of a sudden a puff of hot wind struck my face, and quicker than can be told, people were scurrying to and fro, shutting windows and doors, taking in all portable things, and the hitherto quiet street was crowded with people hurrying towards shelter. A sand storm was coming! The wind began to blow cold, and little pebbles and grains of sand glistened in the sun. Then the sun went under a cloud and it grew dark. I ran for the house and reached there just in time to hear the lamp on the post near the gate shiver into atoms. Colder and colder blew tin; wind, and the air was filled with whirling sand blown in from the desert. The gale carried before it all that could be lifted from the ground. The noise was terrific, but above all we could hear the screeching of the wind. For about ten minutes the storm raged, then suddenly all was quiet. The sun came from behind the clouds; doors and windows were thing open and the storm was over. The streets, which had seemed so hard and dry, were now knee-deep with shining sand. The entire city presented a different aspect, but life went on as before, the still air quivering with heat, the Indians trudging aimlessly to and fro through the heaped-up sand. Evening came, and with it a cool breeze which blew constantly until sunrise, carrying the sand out to the desert again, and by morning the town once more lay parched and dry beneath the unrelenting sun. By Sarah Gridley. Fred l’ortz is employed this year at the First National bank. Myrtle Furness of Spencer Business college has been assisting in the postoffice for the past few weeks. Louise Portz is remaining in Sheridan this year. She has for some time been assisting in the Carnegie library. Percy Metz is residing at Basin. Wyoming, this year, where he is engaged in the practice of law in the firm of Metz Metz. Miss Dora Haywood is employed at the tie plant as stenographer. It is evident Dora proves very efficient for her position. Miss Julia Grodavent is busily engaged this year, both as chief librarian in the Car- 6 THE OCKSHEPERIDA negie library, and as society editor for The Sheridan Post. If you have something you wish to quote, give it to your editor for an Alumni note. If you have something to confess, give it to the ‘‘Old Folks’ editor” of S. II. S. Henry Adams, who was president of the class of ’05, is at the present time making a brilliant success as superintendent of the agents and traveling salesmen of the Oliver Typewriter company, Albany, New York. Elmer Polly, president of the class of ’10. is employed this year by the Parkman .Mercantile company, Parkman, Wyoming. However, Elmer cannot resist the temptation to make a short visit to Sheridan every few months. Miss Pearl Burns has returned to Sheridan for her Christmas vacation, and owing to her health will remain here until about the last of February. Pearl says she is very fond of Chicago, but it certainly is very pleasant to be able to spend a few weeks in Sheridan. By Georgia Sheldon. The Seniors began the new year right with new class pins. Willis—Spencer was given a grant of land along with Sir Walter Raleigh. Prof. Ilerbst has started a new system of arithmetic, by which two from eight leaves five. Lorena rushed into assembly the other day and gasped ”0, I’ve lost my oral composition.” One does not think Mr. Murphy as being mercenary, yet it is true that gold sticks to his fingers. One of the Virgil class translated “ju-venta” as “young men,” and next would come to “positis excuviis.” but Miss Furr mercifully avoided that painful operation bv interrupting the recitation. Mr. Murphy—We make charcoal from wood, bone and—anybody? (General laugh.) Can anyone please tell Helen how to “quill a toothpick?” She may need one in Chemistry some day. Jeannette Tschirgi was absent the first day after vacation, on account of illness. Too much holidays, evidently. Ruth (translating)—The German women knit just like the men smoke. This would seem impossible. We hear that Will has actually been working—shovelling the snow off the walk. The request must have been urgent indeed. Prof.—Helen, please go to the board. That’s a piece of chalk. Now, consider the matter. THE OCKSIIEPERIDA 7 Ih liMi (after a pause)—Yes. sir. I've considered the matter carefully, and 1 can’t translate it. Philip Spear has gone to Washington, D. C , for a few months. We hope, however, that he will return to graduate with the class. Teacher—Translate “The rooms were decorated with green boughs.” Pupil—Die Zimmer sind mit gruenen Bauen bedeckt. “Sie unterhielt” means “she entertained. ” Claire—Well, now, why couldn’t they have used “er?” The Seniors had laboratory for an entire week in December, making up for the delay which the lack of apparatus at the beginning of the year caused. The Virgil class is thinking seriously of getting a revolving chair for Seymour. Then, when he recites he can turn around so that those in the rear may hear him. Mr. Murphy—Where have we met this man Moissan before? Lorena—I never met him. Hoy—In an electric furnace. The unfortunates who have been obliged to take most of their examinations find a melancholy pleasure in the fact that everyone will suffer at the next examination. It is to be hoped that Miss Cooper does not call the roll every day during Philip’s absence, for it requires all Helen’s self-control to keep from answering “here” for him. “Professor” was inconsolable at having to miss the Shrine on the afternoon of the Ceremonial session, but his sorrow ct'rtainly could not have equalled that of his German classes. Mabel believes firmly in the maxim. “Employ thy time well, if thou wouldst gain leisure.” Hut to make sure she takes leisure first and employs her time well the week before exams. Mr. Murphy—What is the difference between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide? Herbert—One’ll kill you and the other won’t. Let’s not try it. In Latin: “After a long time Calchus broke his voice. ” “He was silent twice in five days.” “Mars stood out in front, but I don’t know what he looked like.” Prof.—Next sentence, Claire. Claire—Me? Prof.—I believe you’re the only Claire in the class. Claire—Yes, but this is so sudden. Most of the teachers said that they were disappointed with our examination papers —well, so were we. However, everyone seemed more than satisfied at the result of the advanced algebra class examinations. At last 1911 has come, the year which to us, as Freshmen, seemed so far off. In less than six months we shall have passed forever from High school life. Let us get the most possible out of this short time left to us. Miss Cooper—Mabelle, please explain that paragraph. Mabelle—Well, I didn’t hear it; I was thinking. The effect being so disastrous, let’s hope that Mabelle seldom thinks. The A division of English IV’ appreciate Miss Cooper’s treat of Sandwich and Bacon, which they have been enjoying quite frequently the past few weeks. However, if one may he allowed to make a suggestion, wouldn’t a change in diet occasionally be better ? The two divisions of Senior English are studying Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” and Spencer’s “Faerie Queen.” The first of the four book reviews is off our minds, and many of us took “Hamlet,” which is re- 8 THE OCKSIIEPERIDA quired. The other three may be selected from a special list. “The ample house of Deiphobus was given to dames, having been overcome by Vul-eanus. ’ ’ Miss Purr—Would you advertise that you had an ample house for rent ? Or il you wanted to collect your fire insurance, would you say your house had been overcome by Vulcanus? Boer v Do loth y jutll -1910 By Nova Moody. Half a loaf is better than no vacation. Hurrah for Miss Koeken, the guardian angel of the Junior class!! What about Cicero exams. Juniors? Are we cast down about it? May be. Charlie Jackson says that “nobody don’t remember nothin’ after vacation.” Edith Manlove spent the Christmas holidays at her father’s ranch near Sheridan. Whose Annapolis pin is it, Florence Taylor? Do tell us and satisfy our curiosity. Dorothy Buell is absent from school on account of illness. The Juniors hope to see her back soon. Misses Koeken and Cooper are absent from school on account of illness. The pupils all extend their best wishes for speedy recovery, and hope to see the two teachers back at their posts within a short time. What made the Furr fly one morning not long ago? The cat came in through the window. Dorothy B.—Miss Koeken, why did you change those seats up in the assembly? Esther Waugh—Oh, say, Dody, the seats are still there. Man may be descended from a monkey, but it’s an nnqestioned fact that woman springs from a mouse. Ask Margaret Odi-orne about it, please. .Miss Furr—Charles, you may bring me the five cents tomorrow. Charles Jackson—Oh. gosh. Miss Furr, I never have any change. If you loiter in the hallway, If you talk upon the stairs, If you whisper during assembly. Or if you sit in pairs. You had better be more careful And you’ve got to look about For Professor Hawkes will get you If you don’t watch out. THE OCKSHEPERI DA 9 There’s so much bad in the best of us. And so much good in the worst of us, That it hardly behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us. Chemistry Experiment in a Class of Boys. Put them in the laboratory and let a pretty girl come in. Result—Boys turn to rubber.—Ex. Break, break, break. On thy cold, gray stones, O sea. But you’ve got to do some breaking If you’ll be as broke as me.—Ex. The Juniors have turned out admirably for debating class, and as a result the Juniors will represent Sheridan High in the debate to be held with the debating team from Billings. The debate will occur some time within the next three weeks. Favorite Sayings of the Juniors. “I want to know.”—Florence Taylor. “So?”—Vernon Waisner. ‘‘Oh. say, I know.”—Herbert Traut. ‘‘What about it?”—Edith Manlove. ‘‘Have you got your Latin?”—‘‘Joner.” ‘‘What’s that?”—“Fritz” Jackson. “Well, you see, it’s this way.”—“Hippy” Bramel. “Just a minute.”—“Birdie” Waugh. “I reckon.”—“Bobby.” Junior Debating Club. The Junior English class has organized a debating club. The preliminary debate has been set for some time in the near future, and the question decided upon is: “Re- solved, That self-government is a beneficial method in High school discipline.” The affirmative side of the question has been taken by Herbert Bramel, Jennie Williams and Dorothy Buell; while Vernon Waisner, Grace Robinson and Clara Timm will argue for the negative. The Juniors are confident of turning out some famous debaters. Can You Imagine Baxter Jouvenat—studying? Florence Taylor—fiirting? Clara Timm—flunking? Florence Brown—making eyes? Oh, no! Esther Waugh—serious for a minute? Vernon Waisner—without a girl? Margaret Odiorne—without someone to carry her books. Jennie Williams—cutting capers? Charles Jackson—having a perfect Caesar lesson? Grace Robinson—using slang? Nellie Thompson—attempting to make a “bluff?” Dorothy Buell—not interested in athletics ? Herbert Bramel—as a grand opera singer? sophom ORE MOTES By Matilda Axton. Hazel Roman saved the Sophomore class. Her average was 91. Those exam grades must have been terrible when even Miss Cooper was heard to remark with a sigh, “Gee, we’ll mutiny.” John Jay must not have liked our society, for lie has left school. Cheer up, Sophs! Miss Furr says that that was the easiest Ceasar exam she has ever given. What will the next one be like? 10 TIIE OCKSHEPERlDA Miss Purr—Clarke, translate “ tua solus.” Clarke—Too lonesome. The man whistled joyously as he ground his teeth. He was a dentist. Evelyn Taffner has been ill for several days. She certainly was missed. There were several P’s in deportment this month. Who got them, do you know? Mr. Murphy—What is the composition of the ocean ? Blanche—Gases, air, salt and a lot of water. Miss Furr—What is amo? Clarke—I don’t know. Miss Furr—Well, you stay tonight and I will teach you. We always knew that those Juniors were slow. Just notice their heading. Can you imagine two Sophs sitting in that position for such a length of time? Mr. Murphy—Does heat increase as one gets near the center of the earth? Harvey Luce—Heat increases when you go down, and coming back it decreases. Mr. Murphy—What is carbon dioxide? Glenn R.—That is what girls put on their hair. Aren’t you slightly mistaken. Glenn? The second basketball team has been chosen. Hillman Eckerson, Vermis George, George Demple, Bert White, Robert McBride and Harvey Luce have been selected from our class. Customer—Please put on this ring ‘‘G. O. to II. L. Clerk—What? Customer (meekly)—George Ogden to Helen Langdon. By Hugh Huston. We have two new Freshmen with us, Pearl Case and Everett Lewin. Charles Halley is out of town. It is not certain when he will be back to school. Awful! Horrible!! Great calamity!!! Miss Furr used slang in her speech!!!! Miss Cooper announced that the Freshmen received better standings in English than some of the higher classes. May the Seniors profit by their example. The Freshmen showed what they were made of, by their rooting at the basketball game. Notice. Any hobo wishing to be forced to eat is advised to go to Sparta. The holidays are over and the Freshmen are once more restored to their books. It can safely be said that all enjoyed their Christmas vacation. Good old Santa still remembered his struggling little Freshmen. tiie ocksiieperida 11 It is iplito impossible for Pat t nsick. when reciting ancient history, to leave out that inevitable “it said.” In spite of all the reigns we’ve had It still should be so dry.—-Ex.

Esther Stewart Wyoming, Wake Up. Practically every state in the Union has a State High School Athletic association, or an athletic association for some part of the state. It is time the towns of northern Wyoming were getting together for a similar organization. The benefits of such an organization are numerous. In the first place, if we have a northern Wyoming association, each school which is a member will feel that there is more to work for, since it is part of a larger organization and not an isolated particle, as is now the condition. Again, if we were organized, games would be more easily arranged than at the present time, and a schedule could be completed at the beginning of the season, thus avoiding the present uncertainty. Furthermore, a great benefit derived would be in having a uniform standard for all athletes who compete in a game. Of course, any standard is better than no standard, but if this standard is not uniform among all schools an injustice is done to someone. Along this line these questions need to be answered: For eligibility, shall an athlete be required to he passing in three, four or all studies that he carries? Shall every student be required to carry four studies, or he permitted to take but three? If a pupil is ineligible at the end of a given month, for what length of time shall he remain eneligible? If he fails in a year’s work in several studies, shall he be permitted to participate in games next year? If a student is down in his subjects, shall he be permitted to make these up for the sake of strengthening a team? Shall a student he allowed to participate in a game if he has been in High school more than four years? Shall he lx permitted to play after he is 21 years old? Shall he he allowed to play in his High school team if he is connected with an outside or town team? Now the question is, is it right to have a paid coach in no way connected with the High school? No doubt every school has answered these questions for itself, but until we all answer TIIE OCKSIIEPERIDA 13 them the same way we shall be on a very unequal basis. So, can’t we get together? The High schools of Buffalo, Cody, Cowley, Basin, perhaps Billings, Sheridan, and Spencer Buisness college, would make a nucleus, and doubtless other towns would soon join. Distance is hardly an objection to this organization, for it has been proven that Wyoming towns will support expensive games, not only because of enthusiastic High school support, but because athletic sports are enjoyed. So, think it over. Wyoming; isn’t it worth while, and isn’t it time we were getting busy? The Debating Class. This year a new system is being tried in preference to the last year’s Literary society. It is the system of having a debating class. This debating class has for its purpose practice in debating and instruction in parliamentary law (for it is true that very few pupils know anything about parliamentary law except how to second a motion). This is a twelve weeks’ course and allows each member to be on the program at least twice. One-half point credit is given for this, and the course is elective. The disadvantages of the old system are numerous. Since everybody was obliged to join the society, it was not taken in the right spirit. Each pupil attempted to get as little as possible out of it. Then those who really wished to be on the program and enjoyed it did not have a fair show, for they received no support from their fellow pupils, and since there were so many pupils the teachers could help none sufficiently. The amount of credit given was too much for the amount of work done, for one received one-half point, as much as is given for one-fourth of a year’s work in one study, for appearing on the program but once. The advantages of the new system are as numerous. Since it is elective, the right spirit is put into it and consequently better results are obtained. Then the credit received is more just, since one is required to be on the program at least twice, and thereby gets more practice. The good of the drill in parliamentary law cannot be over- estimated, and in the end more detailed and more intensive work is done. Since these things are so obvious it seems that the present system will be a success, and if it is it will probably be used hereafter in the schools. The Debate with Billings. The Sheridan High school is going to debate with the Billings High school in a short time, on the question: “Resolved, That American Cities Should Adopt the Commission Form of Government.” Sheridan will have the affirmative in this question, and the three debaters have been chosen from the Junior class. Mr. H. N. Gottlieb has been assisting in the training of the debaters. No decision has been reached as to who the judges will be. The order of procedure is as follows: First Speaker, Affirmative—12 minutes; introduction and direct argument. First Speaker, Negative—12 minutes; direct argument and refutation. Second Speaker, Affirmative—12 minutes, direct argument and refutation. Second Speaker, Negative—12 minutes; direct argument and refutation. Third Speaker, Affirmative—12 minutes; direct argument and refutation. Third Speaker, Negative—12 minutes; direct argument and refutation. First Speaker. Negative (or one of his colleagues)—5 minutes; rebuttal and summary. First Speaker. Affirmative (or one of his colleagues)—5 minutes; rebuttal and summary. No new argument allowed in either of the last two speeches. We hope to have a yearly debate with Billings and would like to get one with Buffalo also, as we feel they encourage debating and do much toward making able and efficient debaters. Miss Helen Lord has taken Miss Mustard’s place as instructor of music in the Sheridan schools. The two ladies come from the same school. Miss Lord comes highly recommended, and we welcome her and are sure she will make a success of her work here. 14 THE OCKSIIE PER IDA High School Song. Although Buffalo has favored The lilies’ slender flowers, And the gentle sons of Spencer Say “The crimson rose is ours,” We will own the gentian’s colors And the crowds shall all behold The loyal teams defending Our old Navy Blue and Hold. Through the four long years of High school. ’Midst the scenes we know so well, As the mystic charm to knowledge We vainly seek to spell. Or we win athletic victories As we did in days of old. Still we work for dear old Sheridan And the Navy Blue and Gold. When the cares of life o’crtake us. Mingling fast our locks with gray. Should our dearest hopes betray us. False fortune fall away; Still we banish care and sadness. When we think of times of old. And recall those days of gladness ’Neath the Navy Blue and Gold. ed after “The Orange and the Black,” the college song of Princeton University. The song as we have it was prepared by Dorothy Buell, and we use the music of the Princeton song. Sheridan High school is not lacking in High school spirit, so you who have High school spirit get busy and learn this song When you are asked to sing it again do not. take a copy from the desk and sing from it. but memorize the song and remember it all your life. The song will be found on another page. Do you know that you can help your class editor a great deal by handing in notes for the paper? If you don’t, just try it and see. It will repay you a thousandfold for your trouble to see the relieved look on his face. If any amusing incident occurs in class, just jot it down, or if you see a good joke, remember it and hand it in. It only takes a minute of your time and means so much to the editor. Maybe you’re original and can give us an original story or apoem. dust think! Wouldn’t we have a paper that would startle the other high schools if every person contributed a good thing? Think it over and see; if you can’t help us out next month. Honor Roll. Freshmen. Goldie Bezold Beatrice Dana Earl Carlson Charles Halley Maud Croghan Alma Oliver May Custer Sophomores.

This is a question you must decide for yourself. If you haven’t, it’s time to get. busy and make the last half of the year count. Don’t let your work pile up until the last of school, but improve each “shining moment” as it comes.

I mistook it for a crack in the plate.” Sheridan High school at last has a High school song which we feel is a credit to us There have been several songs written before for the High school, but for some reason or other they have been discarded. “The Navy Blue and Gold,” our present song, is fashion- To whom it may concern: Teachee, teacher, all day teacher, Night grade papers, nervous creepee; No one kisser, no one huger.

Something of an apology is due. as in the last issue games were announced with Cowley and Cody. These were given in good faith and should have been fulfilled, but a telegram came on the morning the teams were to start, stating that for unforeseen reasons these two high schools could not play the games. Now that these drawbacks have been encountered, and we are none the worse for them, Athletics will be taken up with renewed vigor. A game has been scheduled for Thursday evening. January 5th, with Spencer Business college, at the Kirby. The Sophomores have organized a basketball team and elected Harvey Luce captain. They as yet have played no match games. The first team is being coached by Weaver Barrett, having elected Allan Ackerly captain. Great things are to be expected from them. The girls’ team is showing up well in the practice, and a game is expected with Spencer Business college, before the boys’ game on January 5th. The following games have been scheduled : January 20th—Buffalo at Sheridan. Date Uncertain—Return game. February 3d—Billings at Sheridan. March 3d—Billings return game. Date Uncertain—Second Spencer Business College game. The Athletic association met January 4th and added an amendment to the constit ution, electing an advertising manager and an assistant general manager. Some Funny Mistakes. In the “University Correspondent” of London, the following extracts from exam papers have been published. See if you can correct them: Lord Raleigh was the first man to see the Invisible Armada. Shakespeare founded “As You Like It” on a book previously written by Sir Oliver Lodge. King Edward IV had no claim by geological right to the English throne. George Eliot left a wife and children to mourn his genii. Ilenry I died of eating palfreys. Louis XVI was gelatiued during the French revolution. Gender shows whether a man is masculine. feminine or neuter. An angle is a triangle with only two sides. Geometry teaches us how to bisex angels. Horsepower is the distance one horse can carry a pound of water in an hour. If air contains more than 100 per cent carbolic, acid it is very injurious to health. A deacon is the lowest kind of a Christian. 16 THE OCKSHEPERI DA “The Increscent,” of Beloit, Wis., tains its cleverness. Teacher—I’m tempted to give a test. Soph.—Yield not to temptation. A clever little paper with noticeable cuts is the “Observer,” from Chillicothe, Mo. The “Northwestern University Bulletin” of Evanston. 111., contains its weekly events. Your jokes and cuts make your paper lively as ever, “Tenderfoot” (Salida, Colo.). “The Student Crier” of South Haven, Mich., contained rather amusing athletic news. “Stephens’ Collegian” of Columbia, Mo., a popular exchange, maintains its usual merit. “The Ypsi-Sem,” from Ypsilanti, Mich., of Decernbei, is an improvement over former issues. Yonr up-to-date paper, “Breeze,” (Albion, Mich.) would be more attractive if it contained cuts. “Scarlet and Green” of Auburn, Neb-expressed an athletic activity which is not shown in all schools. “Purple and Gold.” Bellevue. Neb., college spirit is prominent in all lines of your work. Your December issue was conspicuous for its athletic news and photographs. re- Jolly Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas exchanges came to us. Anxiously we await the New Year’s numbers. We always enjoy your paper, “Kodak” (Everett. Wash.). Your foreign language notes are new and instructive material. “Evening School Voice,” of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a paper with a striving motive, which is developed from an active school spirit. The splendid Freshman number of “The Reflector” from Paxton, Illinois, which we have at hand, is the first issue we have received. We now have at hand two issues of “The Arrow,” from Broken Bow, Neb. These are improving and possess the usual cheery contents. This year we again welcome “The Narrator” of Schuylkill Seminary in Reading, Pa. Your literary department is interesting and instructive. “The Booster,” of Chadron, Neb., we again an in receipt of your regular exchange. Your neat paper contains noticeable exchange notes. “The Spectator” of Coffeyville, Kans.. was worthy of special attention. The literary portion and editorials were well written, while photographs added much interest. Its exchanges should profit by its criticisms. THE OCKSIIEPERIDA 17 “The Wyoming Student,” of Laramie, Wyo., you are one of our regular and welcome exchanges. Your athletic section was of the greatest interest. “The Hastings Collegian,” of Hastings, Neb., was attractive on account of its photographs. Athletics were of special interest in its December number. Freshman—Emerald. Sophomore—Blarney stone. Junior—Grindstone. Senior—Tombstone.—Ex. From the sunny south arrived “The Oracle,” from Jacksonville, Fla. The Juniors surely made their issue successful, especially from the literary standpoint. Prof.—-A fool can ask questions a wise man can’t answer. Student—I suppose that’s the reason so many of us Hunk in exams.—Ex. We laugh at our teacher’s jokes, No matter what they be; Not because they’re funny jokes, But because it’s policy.—Ex. “The Joshua Palm” of Goldfield, Nev., is a recent exchange. It is a well arranged paper with an appropriate cover design, but cuts would add interest to its interior. “The Tabor College Times” of Tabor, la., not in booklet style, affords a variation in the general form of interesting college news. More jokes and cuts would brighten it. Lines of Latin all remind us If we had old Caesar here. We would move, but leave behind us Loving footprints on his ear.—Ex. Teacher—The three boys in the front seat were the only ones to get correct answers in the examination. Voice (from rear)—Good team work.— Ex. “Red and Black.” of Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of our latest periodicals. It is from a High school in which are enrolled 1,450 pupils. This paper is brim-full of wit. Among our best exchanges is the “Classi-cum,” from Ogden. Utah. Every department is worthy of praise. The discussion on “A Student” contains applicable suggestions. “Western Union Journal,” of LeMars, la., would be more cheerful in appearance if it contained cuts. Nevertheless, suggestive and helpful points lie in its literary department. “The Bellflower Township High School Bulletin.” Bellflower. 111.; it is evident that your High school produces a number of poets. The effective German department is commendable. The departments of “The Academy Record” (San Antonio, Tex.), are somewhat few, but just the same the account of “The Educational Value of Athletics” excites enthusiasm. “The Oahuan,” of Oahu College, came to us from far-away Honolulu. Its picturesque photographs were a striking feature of its attractiveness. The literary productions arrested our attention. Another paper of unusually high standard is “The Tiger” of Little Rock, Ark. The literary department was exceedingly good. Current events and the debating society figured prominently. Well developed departments comprise “The Kyoto” of Billings. Mont. The December issue contained good literary material. while the other sections appeared with the usual snap and vigor. “Trident,” from Santa Cruz, Cal., is one of the best papers we receive. In it. societies figure strongly, which add a newness to our exchanges. It is also evident that much time is devoted to literary work. Exchange notes, usually last but not least, afford a means of acquaintance between schools and thus we feel more in contact with 18 THE OCKSHEPERIDA their members and work. We also derive a benefit in the form of criticism. In this way we try to supply better material for our papers, that they may attain a higher standard. Other papers all remind us We can make our own sublime, If our fellow students send us Contributions all the time. Here a little, there a little, Story, club note, song or jest, If you want a stick school paper, Each of you must do your best.—Ex. As Others See Us. The “Ocksheperida,” Sheridan, Wyo. Your paper is good.—Ex. “Ocksheperida” (Sheridan, Wyo.,) You are a credit to your calling. The “Ocksheperida” is conspicuous for its appropriate cover and good cuts.—Ex. A number of clever cuts adds much to the attractiveness of the “Ocksheperida.” —Ex. Probably the best all around exchange we have this month is the “Ocksheperida” of Sheridan, Wyoming. Come again. The O. K. Sheperida (Sheridan, Wyo.). is a high school paper recently received. It is an excellent paper. Very few improvements could be made.—Ex. There certainly was excitement in 0. II. S. when the “Ocksheperida” arrived. Everyone wanted the dictionary. Won’t you please tell us what it means?—Goldfield. Nev. (“Ocksheperida” comes from the Crow Indian language and means “Camp Crier.”) The latest periodical on our exchange table is the “Ocksheperida.” The first issue contains several excellent stories, among them being “Back to the Fifteenth Century.” by Seymour Sharp. In it tin writer depicts the result of a dream in a most clever manner. The paper is really good all the way through. The idea in your Exchange cut is quite unique.—Ex. Artist (to friend)—Yes, I use the palette knife a good deal. Knocked a child’s head off in the morning and sold it in the afternoon. (Nervous old gentleman gets out hurriedly at next stop.)—M. A. P. Professor—Why did you come to college, anyway? You are not studying. Willie Rahrah—Well, mother says it is to fit me for the presidency; Uncle Bill, to sow my wild oats; Sis, to get a chum for her to marry; and Pa, to bankrupt the family- We were walking along the shaded street of an eastern Pennsylvania village, when a girl came to the door of a nearby house and called to a small boy playing on the walk: “Gusty. Gusty, come and eat yourself once. Ma’s on the table now and Pa’s half et already.”—Life. At a crowded concert the other evening a young lady, standing at the door of the hall, was addressed by an honest Hibernian, who was in attendance on the occasion. “Indade, Miss,” said he, “I should be glad to give you a sate, but the empty ones are full.” “What happened to Babylon?” asked the Sunday-school teacher. “It fell!” cried the pupil. “And what became of Nineveh?” “It. was destroyed.” “And what of Tyre?” “Punctured!” Tramp—I’d like to do somethin’ to pay for all this, but I’m a cripple, mum. Housekeeper—You don’t look it. What’s the matter? Tramp Writer’s cramp, mum. I’ve been keepin’ a list of all tin people wot offered me work, mum. “What is your name?” inquired the justice. “Pete Smith,” responded the vagrant. “What occupation?” continued the court. “Oh, nothin’ much at present; just circulatin’ ’round.” “Retired from circulation for thirty days,” pronounced the court dryly.

A man was wearily making his way to a street car, followed by his wife and fourteen children. A policeman touched him and said: “Come with me.” “What for?” “Don’t know. But when you’re locked up I’ll find out why that crowd was following you.”—Ex. A druggist compounded some chemicals for the extermination of cockroaches. Anx- ious to know the result of his labors, he gave half a pound to his neighbor, Jones. One day Jones came running into the store and said: “Give me another half-pound of that cockroach poison.” “I’m glad you like it,” said the elated druggist. “It’s line stuff,” said Jones. “I have one cockroach seriously ill, and I think if 1 give him another half pound he will probably die.” Mike was the apprentice of an undertaker, and one day was sent out to take charge of a Hebrew’s body. When Mike came back he said to his employer: “That’s a curious custom the Hebrews have of putting a $20 gold piece in the right hand of the corpse. ” Ilis employer smiled and said: “You are right, Mike, that is to pay his way across the river Jordan.” “If that’s the case,” said Mike, “that Hebrew will have to swim, because I swiped the $20.” THE OCKSIIEPERIDA 23 +++++++++ +++++ + ++ ++ ++++++++ ++ + 'H‘++++++++++ ++'{' A.
