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 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.

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. In Sunday School. “Why did Adam name the animals?” “I suppose he wasn’t a vegetarian and he wanted to know what he was eating.”
