10 THE ORACLE. to the superior management of Prof. John A. Beers this year’s team es-tablished the best record. As will be noticed in the schedule, this year's team played but two High Schools, the other eleven games being against Athletic Associations and schools of a higher class. In these, older and better developed players were found, and considering the teams that our school played against, we think that we have established a record worthy of any High School. Our chief boast, if boast we will, is our standing with Keuka College, which is a tie. T. P. Consimne, ’37. BETA LITERARY SOCIETY. THIS well known society was organized in the fall of 02 by Prof. Johnson, who selected Legrand W. Frost, Fred E. Harvey and Arthur I). Webb as a committee to choose three girls and, with their help, form a society. The girls chosen were Marguerite N. Scobey. Ella F. Bradley and Nancy Abbey. With the efficient aid of the girls, the constitution was drawn up and the Beta Literary Society stood before the world. The meetings, which are held every other Wednesday evening, are very interesting and instructive, the purpose being to improve the student in debates and add to his or her literary knowledge. Any registered member of the High School is eligible to membership, about fifty having joined since its formation. OFFICERS. Bkrtha Cole, Albert W. Forbes, Bertha M. Thompson, Lelia V. Tolbert.

A United States consul, recently returned here, who evidently aspires to rival Mark Twain as a wit, gives the following account of how English is taught in French schools. ‘‘Jean, you will stand up, said the master to his brightest pupil, upon the occasion of the consul’s visit. “Now conjugate the verb, I have a gold mine.’” “ I have a gold mine, responded the bright pupil with scarcely an accent, “Thou hast a gold thine, He has a gold his’n, We have a gold our’n. You have a gold your’n, They have a gold their’n ”—Ex. She frowned at him and called him Mr. Simply because he came and Kr. That very night her just to spite That naughty Mr. Kr. Sr.—Ex.
