Negro—Yas, an’ dey am aguine to be as green as you am next spring.” Miss Lee, while reading Silas Marner, announced that George Eliot could paint pic-tures as well as describe characters. i a, an expression of surprise, as she looked through the hook again: “I don’t sec any pictures.” the ! 8 S —I am going to tell your Pr them.

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.

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
