Through the sky the moon was rolling, It was just the time for strolling, Three settees were in the moonlight, One brown, the others green and white. They said, “Don’t get excited the time isn’t right,” And “Don’t sting us like you did Sunday night.” But give us three settees in the pale moonlight. Mr. Kamman—‘Hattie, what should the ending of this word be?” Hattie (exictedly)—“A question mark.” The S. H. S. shook violently for several minutes. The people from around came flocking out to see the cause. A few minutes later Mr. Donaker walked quietly out of the school. i ds % ee aa

Page Twenty-one T H E mood, and tore by paper-back dictionary, rescued by me from my father’s waste-basket. While I was in the seventh grade I broke my arm, and stayed out of school nine long days. But I thought it was fun to visit my own room, and watch the others work. One day that year Catherine parted her hair on the side, but she returned to the old way next day. The next year the Third Ward pup.ls from the seventh grade went into the eighth with us. Gertrude sat with me, and eventually did all my drawing and painting for me. I had excellent grades in drawing all year. As a Freshman my dignity grew. How I loved dear old room D! That year I had lots of fun. I wrote a story in the fall, a real love story, and Minnie S. illustrated it for me Later, when my knowledge became broader, I tore the sheets and threw them into the waste basket. That year we were introduced to Algebra. The many things I used to do as a Freshman would perhaps not speak well for me. Madge sat in front of Louis, and was perfectly happy all year. That year Mary and I stole a class prophecy that Lucile had written, finished it and handed it in for the “Patriot.” As a Sophomore I was introduced to a seat in room A. Several new members of the class joined us as Sophomores. Mary went to Texas in April, and she made the teachers believe she was studying, but to tell the truth, she was not. This year we moved to the south side of the Assembly room. My seat has not been changed this term, a thing which has never before happened to me. And when I go out of this building as a Junior, I shall feel that this year has been the happiest and most profitable I have ever spent. But I am sure that next year school in the new S. H. S. will be even more delightful. M R., ’11. SENIOR CALENDAR Jan. 3—All back at school. Seniors looking tired and well-fed. Jan. 4—Mr. E. wears his tie pin—gift of the Seniors.
