Remarks, proceedings, and the at-
mosphere of the last -few days are
making us appreciate mdre and more
the, nearness of the close of school.
The closing events will be mingled
with joy and sadness on the part of
the graduates; happiness because of
the accomplishment, and sadness be-
causjg,of the fact.that, our high school
days -will be gone, never to return.
The frafet leads us to put-fortH strong-
er effort, along scholastic (?) lines
so as not to come out behind at the
end of school. The 8 to lj^p. m. study
hour inaugurated for this week, by
our superintendent, has been an op-
portune suggestion for all the school'
pupils.
As Crane says, "Doing brings joy.
The sweetest of joys is the joy of ac-

Science Class Circus
The eighth grade General Science
daas organized a circus not long ago
and they had their first meeting a
few days- ago, Billie Eastwood, Dan
Lewjjs, and Willie Snider had to for-
"pish gum for the class to chew dur-
ing the circus. The reason they had
to furnish the gum is that they, are
always 'chewing-gum in class. Elgie
Jones was circus manager. All of the
teachers were invited but only Mr. J.
I. Weatherby and Mr. C. A. True at-
tended. After everyone was given
some gum, numerous jokes were told.
A contest was then held to see who

Freshman Class
The freshmen class h|id a class
meeting the latter part of last week
and decided to have a party in the
school building on Frtdiy evening,
April 15, They also selected their
class colors, which are now white and
)pink. The class met a few days later
and chose their committees for the
party. Their teachers are to be in-
vited, and ekch pupil is to invite one
of his friends. The freshmen think
their party will be a success; at least
they hope so.
The pupjls took their examinations
Thursday and Friday but they do not
yet know what they made. They are
awfully dull and blue, but after they
find out what they made on their
examinations, they will be as happy
and carefree as ever. The pupils have
studied® very, hard Indeed this past
month, and they intend to study even
niore next month. They firmly be-
lieve they can: pass in every subject if
they will only study hard enough. A*f-

grade were on 'duty all day. The
