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.

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?
