The dreaded mid-year examinations are over. Some of us have been rewarded for weeks of hard work. Others of us, not quite so successful are simply making the best of things. No doubt many have resolved to take more of an interest in High School this term. What better way can you find than by writing for the High School paper ? Our next edition will be in April. Other papers all around us Can make our own sublime If our fellow school mates send in Contributions all the time. Here a little, there a little; Story, club note, song or jest; If you want a “slick” school paper, Each of you must do your best. ‘ ‘Seniors are Going Some ” The Seniors are rushing with head long momentum With the learning of plays and the work to present ’um, With talented ladies who give talented readings With work for “perfection” in all our proceedings With hardest of lessons with classes uncounted With heights unattained that must still be surmounted With mind, soul and body, we’re working for money (But if, you knew why, you would not think funny) We’re going to Washington, Easter vacation We’ll send picture post-cards to all our relations So what do we care ? For they said that our play Was the best they had witnessed for many a day And when it was over they came to exclaim “Why, it was just fine ! Why not have it again ? And so we will go with our girls bright, and witty— Present “Becky’s Triumph” in each busy city Until with a pocket-book full, overflowing, We start for D. C. Don’t you wish you were going? G. H. ’12.

 S (Glrrmticle TEN CENTS A COPY. VOL. II. MARCH 1912. NO. 2 CHRONICLE STAFF. Literary Editor Ruth Blacklock, Associate Editor Kathryne Wilson, Managing Editor Joanna Hamilton, Advertising Editor Amy Hamblin, Asst. Advertising Editor Mabelle Gillis, EDITOR!A IS. The March number of the W. H. S. Chronicle is the second issue of this paper, and consequently is expected to be in great demand. A great deal has happened for the welfare of the “class of 1912” since the November issue, and we wish to extend our thanks to all who have so willingly helped us toward one of our two chief aims. We hope that the newly organized Junior Class will next year try to publish as good a paper as we have, with a new head and a new staff; in many cases the W. H. S. Chronicle should take on new ideas. It is so easy for a paper to get into a “rut” and stay there, and what is most needed is a variety of ideas to keep up interest. All things taken into consideration, we prophecy that the class of 1913 will follow our example set for them and publish a High School paper composed of good material. We sincerely hope that all who have helped us by buying an issue of the Chronicle will be fully repaid by enjoying many happy moments in partaking of its contents.

SCRAPS.” •LAUGH AND GROW FAT. Fair Greece may have excelled in art, Great Rome in making laws; And yet we see a thing or two No Caesar ever saw, Although he traveled miles and miles— A thing to equal modern style! Ruth Clark “Fosters” many a happy hope now days. We are sorry to hear of Elberta’s misfortune nothing left there but David now. No case of lockjaw has ever been traced to a blister caused by a snow shovel. Why didn’t Mrs. Blake like to go to the laboratory? There is gladness in her gladness when she’s glad. There is sadness in her sadness when she’s sad; But the gladness in her gladness when she’s glad, And the sadness in her sadness when she’s sad. Don’t compare with her madness when she’s mad. We have heard that long epistlary messages are continually arriving to the president of the training class. What time is it? Oh I don’t know, it hasn’t been announced yet. Ask Mabel K. Anna Smith’s latest occupation—a Weaver. A mouse makes a woman scream with , fright while a rat only makes her hair stand up. Harold Dyer’s favorite song “Anybody here seen Kelly ?”
