AT GRAND ISLAND. A good-sized delegation went back our candidate at the district which was held at that place on the Fortune had never before placed our orous class and we were very anxious to show that we could win there as well as in the oratorical class.

Junior-Ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. Seniors- Pride in their niien, defiance in their eye. Behold the lords of huniankind pass by. Now the Y. H. S. has HSOIIIC Girls, Some girls of high degree. They wear not braids nor frizzles, nor curls, They're out of style, you see. Each Wears her hair in ponipadour roll, In a roll both large and fat, For each girl has before her the goal To wear the largest rat.
