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 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-

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?
