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.”

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

Kv. The Review, Toccoa, Ga. The “Totem” from far-off Alaska is an exceedingly interesting paper. You seem to have no end of splendid material: Poems, stories, essays, le- gends of the people and the pictures. “The Origin of the Mosquito” is a cute little story. The football number of the “Tiger” is up to the very top notch. Xuff sed. The “Vortex” is a new exchange.

We were especially glad to receive the following, because they are from our home state: The “Lariat” from Cheyenne. The “Wyoming Student.” University of Wyoming. The “Roundup.” Douglas. The “Dinosaur,” from Laramie. The “Torch,” Cody. Wyo. The ever welcome “Lariat” has at last arrived with its good stories ami “classy” class notes. The “Fluffy Ruffles Question Box” is unique and the poetry is clever. Our only suggestion is to keep the advertisements away from the front of your paper and not mix stories among ads. Freshman Yell.
