The Ocksheperida Vol. 5 Sheridan, Wyoming, January, 1913 No. 4 .j. • -;- - • + m The Rhodes Scholarship + + + ♦ + One of the things it will pay all High school students to keep their eyes on is the Rhodes scholarship. Mr. Rhodes was a wealthy English diamond merchant, who died soon after 1000. He was of a philanthropic turn of mind, so left vast sums of money, the interest on which goes to pay fifteen hundred dollars a year to a great many hoys of Germany and the I nit.il States while they arc being educated in Oxford. Each state is entitled to its representative. Wyoming now has one or two hoys' doing work in Oxford. It is well worth while look forward to thjs ] ssibilitV of A future while you are in tin High school. The following gives the conditions under which a scholarship is granted: “Twice every three years men are chosen from England's many colonies, from Germany, and from each state ami territory f the 1’nited States, to go to Oxford, there to reside and labor in the heart of Itritishism for three college years. These men before chosen must pass a qualifying examination set by Oxford University. Arithmetic, Plane Geometry, or College Algebra. Latin and Greek Grammar, simple translations from Latin and Greek hooks, translation from English into Latin, these are the subjects. An arrangement has lately been made whereby the testing in Greek may be postponed until residence is taken at Ox- ford University. In no sense is this examination competitive—a man passing with a grade of C is as much qualified for the appointment as a man passing with a grade of A. These men must be unmarried. They must also he not younger than nineteen and not older than twenty-five. They must have completed at least two years in a standard American college. They are to he picked men; not hookworms, not sports, not weaklings, not timid youth. In them is to be a large capacity for play, for work, for fellowship: and in them is also to he that divine something we know uot how to name, without which no life can he wisely energetic, or inspired, or great. Call this last what you will. In selection of the scholar, therefore, three of ten credits arc based on “literary and scholastic attainments:” two on “fondness of and success in many outdoor sports, such as cricket, football, and the like;” three on qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for the protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship;” and two more, making up the ten, on “exhibition during school days of mofal force of character and of instincts to load and to take an interest in his school mates, for those latter attributes will he likely in after life to guide him to esteem the per- 6 THE OCKSHEPER1DA formance of duty as liis highest aim.” Men as closely as possible approaching the excellence such qualifications imply arc chosen. The scholars then go to Oxford, matriculate in the university, study there during three years, take their final “Honour” examinations, and return to America or remain abroad in consular or diplomatic service. m “The advantages that become theirs are manifold. They study at what is probably the world’s greatest and most famous seat of learning. They associate with England’s best sons, those who when their turn comes —as come it will—must rule the Empire; and they associate, since the university is cosmopolitan in its student body, with some of the world’s most ambitious sons. They have many vacation months for European travel and study. The best in the world of science, of literature, of art, is theirs. Their view out upon life ought, therefore, to become like Cecil Rhodes’, as wide as the world itself. Their aspirations ought to become no less. Their capacity for living ought to stretch and grow until, like that of their benefactor, it becomes capable of high deeds and high thoughts. “And this is the aim of the scholarship scheme: To get hold of men of action and thought and ambition, to cause them to associate with Brittain’s best young men and traditions, to make them more vigorous and more thoughtful and more wisely ambitious, and to return them to their native lands better citizens of their country and better, bigger citizens of the world. Thus, if these men are faithful to their trust, some day there may be, partly and who knows but largely through their endeavor. Justice, Liberty, Peace, in each land and among all lands.” By Baxter Jouvenat. Christmas and New Year have come and gone, yet no one seems to have suffered very greatly. The Teachers’ institute seems to have had a good effect upon our teachers; maybe Christmas helped a little too. Mr. Leo P. Sherman is now saluted as Papa Sherman, since the coming of Margaret Louise. Although the mercury reached 3-1 below. Monday morning. Bert White met the Fort bus. He seems to appreciate if more for the great difficulties. The emblem for the class pins and rings has at last been selected and ordered. THE OCKSHEPERIDA 7 Nellie, what is this we hear about •Jaek Johnson? The spelling class is losing its fame as a summer resort, there being more work to it than was first thought. Nova Moody worked in the New York store during vacation and is still retained there. John Axton was one of 1913’s early callers and he made a lengthy call at that. Harvey has determined to be a jeweler, which allows him to hold the girls’ hands while taking ring sizes. Miss Kocken’s Classification. Men are divided into two classes: Those who manicure their nails in public and those who never manicure them. Notice. All seniors are hereby warned to act very dignified, all acting otherwise will be turned over to Papa Sherman, who is becoming an authority on the scientific handling of babies. Papa Sherman is now working on a new chemically prepared food which he claims will put brains enough in a child of three years to work any physics problem in a High school course. (’lark Gapen spent his Christmas vacation with his parents at ITvatt-ville, Wyo. One of the things he accomplished was the freezing of his ears. Mr. Papa Sherman’s baby must have kept him awake last night. By Leo Doyle. Just before Christmas a great many were absent from school. Among the Juniors. Grace Snow. Goldie Bezold, Ruth Snivelv, Bessie Spracklen. Joseph Jenkins and Lena Phillips. Carl Addleman has left school. We are sorry to see him go and miss him in our classes.

Miss Furr was informed that Sheridan has 1,000 people, and she is very displeased to think that she has a pupil who does not stretch the population as far as possible. both common and proper.” The Sophomore class is very sorry to lose Laura Ilogue, who has stopped school to study the mandolin. A number of the Sophomore class spent their vacation away from Sheridan. Louise Enochs was at her home on Prairie Dog; Rosa Maye Kendrick was a guest at Hilman’s Ranch, and Bernie Laub spent his vacation with his parents at Piney Inn. Helen Taffner has been absent since the holidays on account of sickness. The Sophomores hope she will be among them again very soon. A young teacher of grammar was asked whether “kiss” was a common or a proper noun. The girl, blushing deeply, with hesitation replied: Tt is On account of the effects of typhoid fever. William Williams, one of the Sophomores, has had to stop school. The class is very sorry to lose him. + • • •: ♦ + + Spencerian Stanzas + + + ++ ++ ++ After studying the Faerie Queen, the Senior English class has been experimenting in writing Spencerian stanzas. Although none of their pro- ductions seem to rival the original, a few have been published below. I stood within the Coliseum old, The ancient theatre of Roman games; 10 THE OCKSHEPER1DA And to me of its ancient story told, Of gladiator’s stroke of dying fame. Upon that bloody sand his death blow came, With naked arm uplifted to the crowd; And to myself that heartless crowd I blame, As their support he asks with head low bowed, Is answered with thumbs turned down and clamor loud. A German Herr once lived in Sheridan, A fine old man who loved his Deutsch-erland. One day it chanced Pa Early on him ran; And now he is our German teacher grand. lie gives us more to study than we planned, And now and then, when mad, he does us “soak,” Hut never yet a pupil has he canned, Altho’ at times we’d dearly love to “croak,” Or change sometime that dear old German Herr to smoke. —Matilda Axton. The sky that bright, clear, cold December eve, As o’er the steeple gray and ivy crowned The moon did lovingly her soft beams weave, As if no better place the country round To show her witching shadows could be found, Seemed a sea of red and purplish hue. Hanked by a rosy tinted fleecy mound On which inlaid were masses of deep The Brute. Fat Lady—Ah! what a beautiful landscape! f'awn’t you paint me in the foreground? Artist—What, then, would become of the background? His Choice. “If you had to choose between me blue That helped the moon to glorify the steeple too. , —Bessie Tschirgi. One morning in the autumn of the year. Our English teacher to her class did say Some words which made each one of us to fear: “Write a poem in the Spenserian way.” I pondered many a night and all the day, . , . , Trying to think of something I might write, Till finally my reason was at bay; Hut try and try as hard as e’er I might. The poem never yet has reached Miss Cooper’s sight. —Edythe Polly. ’Tis midnight; and the earth in stillness lies; The cold and silent moon shines clearly bright; Hlue is the sleeping ocean, and the skies. From which the gleaming stars give forth their light; And all the earth seems clothed in silent night, From out a sheltered harbor on the shore A ship with slender masts and sails of white Across the rippling wave is seen 1o soar, And wrapped in silent stillness is the scene once more. —.Julia Cutter. and a million dollars, which would you take?” , “I’d take the million; after that you’d be easy.” Geraldine—What did pa say when you asked him for my hand? Gerald—lie gave me a delightful travel talk. THE OCKSHEPER1DA 11 ATHLETICS Charles Halley. Basket Ball. On account of lack of interest, the girls have abandoned their plans for a basketball team. Very little interest was shown at the beginning and this gradually subsided. Financially, basket bail has been a losing proposition for two or three years, nor did the game ever make any money beyond the most necessary expenses. The different churches which organized teams last winter went heavily in debt, and they, too, will probably abandon the game for this year. Four or five years ago basket ball was almost the only form of High school athletics, but since the introduction of football the former game has steadily declined in popularity, both in and outside of the High school. Gymnasium and Trackwork. The gym class will be organized within a short time, probably the first week after the holidays. Nearly all the boys are keenly interested in this kind of work and the class will have a membership of between fifty and seventy-five. The gym class last year was the first organized in the High school and a majority of the boys were members. We have a considerable amount of apparatus, donated by the school board, including parallel bars, a rowing machine, traveling rings, horizontal bar, a medicine ball, and other equipment. Sheridan High’s prospects for a championship track team are the best for several years. Nearly all the boys who were in training last year are back, and they certainly ought to improve the splendid form then shown. An especially good showing was made i� the shot-put, high jump and 100-yard dash, while the time on the 220-vard dash and low hurdles and the distance on the pole vault and running broad jump was splendid. Some of the boys have made excellent time on the high hurdles the 440 and 880-vard races. Sheridan will make a splendid record in the state track meet this year and should win the championship cup. Prof. Sherman will again coach and will turn out the best track team Sheridan High has ever had. 12 THE OCKSHEPER1DA THE OCKSHEPERIDA 4 4 Camp Crier1’of Sheridan High School 4� 4 {• } • .;. .;. a j Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Sheridan, Wyoming.

Her name is Margaret Louise. Here’s hoping that the year Nine-teen-thirteen will l� e a happy and prosperous one to all. It is the year in which the largest class which has ever graduated will start out into the world. Some will probably continue, their education in colleges and universities, but the rest will begin their life work, using only the education which good old Sheridan High has given them. In the pleasures which will come to the Thirteens we know that they will look back on the days with Sheridan High school as the happiest of all. Zero weather again. The Indians predicted that there would be no winter, but old Winter is here again, with plenty of frost and snow. Although the snow came too late to furnish us with coasting during our two weeks Christmas vacation, yet it was welcome. The skating was good and many of us took advantage, of this. Thirty below is cold enough for S. IT. S.‘ The Teachers’ association, which met in Sheridan January 2, 3 and 4, Was a great success according to all reports. There were about two hundred teachers in town and we feel THE OCKSHEPERIDA 13 like saying wlmt we heard a man say ms two of tin large intorurban ears filled with teachers started for the mines, “I didn't know there were so many sehoolma’ams in the country. Before vacation a petition was circulated to the effect that we have singing in assembly during the ten-minute period one day out of each week. It seems to have been popular among the pupils for there were many names signed. It must be a good idea, for nearly every other High school has morning exercises. The day has not yet been announced. In appreciation of the efforts of Lieut. Wier in turning out our splendid football squad all the pupils agreed that the fitting thing to do would be a Christmas gift for Air. Wier from the whole school. Everybody contributed to the fund and the committee chosen did efficient work in selecting a handsome leather traveling ease, holding the usual traveling requirements. Many of the Alumni have been visiting us recently, showing that the statement which most Seniors make. “I’ll be glad when I’m through,” is not exactly true. Each one seems to wish to come back after they have graduated. Among those who visited ns arc Mabel Gettvs and Georgia Sheldon. In Hoorn 1 we noticed that the chairs had been altered in some way. We discovered that on account of the smallness of some of the Sheridan High pupils the legs of the chairs had been A Girl’s Way. “I am going to learn to swim this summer.” “I thought George taught you last summer.” “But T am no longer engaged to George.”—Washington Herald. cut off. For the medium small the chairs’ heights were reduced one inch, for tin very small two inches, and for Miss Kocken’s own benefit they were taken off three inches. The lectures which -Miss Kocken delivers once each year are very much appreciated. She says there is much improvement since she began. Let the good work go on. Miss Kocken. Several of our pupils seem to be dissatisfied with our old cover design, and the objection to the one used on the Christmas number was that it was not ours, that is, not drawn by one of our people. We do need a new cover design and also some new cuts for the inside of our paper. Why don’t some of our artists draw us something which will be new. original and appropriate? There seems to be a tendency to refrain from handing in cuts for the paper. If this is modesty, forget it. and draw some cuts. If it is lack of interest something must be done to arouse this failing interest. Now let’s have a new cover design for next month. And don’t forget to hand in any items to the editors of the various departments. We cannot expect to do all the work. We wish to thank the New York store for the window display of the work drawn by the Sheridan High school pupils which was shown there during the holiday's. The work exhibited to a good advantage and the decorations in blue and yellow were pretty' and appropriate. Any boosting which the merchants do for Sheridan High is much appreciated by all of us.

The students of an eastern college grew so reckless in their behavior that the professor thought to improve their conduct by a lecture on morality. In the course of his lecture he said: “My young friends, the floors of hell are paved with champagne and automobiles and chorus girls.”. lie was horrified to hear one of the students say in a sepulchral tone: “Oh Death, where is thy sting?” “Oh, yes.” Mrs. Smith told us. “my husband is an enthusiastic archaeologist.

A. DUNIWAY, President The Majority Won. A physician came across a patient while strolling through the grounds of a hospital for tin insane, and, stopping, spoke to him. After a brief conversation on conventional topics the physician said: “Why are you here?” “Simply a difference of opinion,” replied the patient. “I said all men were mad. and all men said I was mad—and the majority won.”—Ex. Woodman, fell that tree. Spare not a single bough: I carved a girl’s name there, I love another now.—Ex. In Denver. Irish--Is this meant to be a shortcake? Waitress—Yes. sir. Irish—Then for heaven’s sake take it away and berry it. Conundrum. What kind of a husband should a girl select? Answer—Better let the husband alone and select a single man. Such Inconsistency. They say: lie who hesitates is lost. Beauty is. only skin deep. Faint heart ne’er won fair lady. Necessity is the mother of invention. Love conquers all things. A stitch in time saves nine. Better be wise than rich. The pen is mightier than the, sword. And then— Look before you leap. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. All things come to him who waits. There is nothing new under the sun.
