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.

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-

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-
