SUBSCRIPTION - - - 25Cts PER ANNUM SENIOR NOTES Our Insect collection is growing fast. On October 20 member number 20 joined the class of ’20. The new High School Algebras are at last here and work goes better. - Julia Gromoff, class of ’19, was a welcome visitor, at “ Class Period” on Friday and gave a helpful little talk. The class of ’20 is lucky in having one wise mem ber—Annie Miller just went through the cutting stage of a wisdom tooth. We are very glad that it was not the Senior Blue and White which was so badly defeated on our local gridiron on Saturday. There are more seniors than usual in the football team this year and we are proud of them all ; Johnson, Gartiez, White, Kennedy and Berry. Effie Davis, Andrew White and Charles Williams received the official credentials of the class for mem bership in the Student-body Council,. The Senior male quartet with a membership of Ken nedy, Williams, Johnson and Gartiez appeared on. the weekly program in a very acceptable number. From the study of insects the seniors have gathered this addition to their vocabularies—Adolescantulamor- ism. Sounds like a disease, but it may be a germ di sease. The Senior question box is a center of interest—, you never know what personal matter is going to be made the subject of inquiry and the rules say you have . to answer. Annie Miller recited ‘Thé Only W oman,” Marina Nelson and Effie Davis gave instrumental music, Ruby White and Rose Goff entertained with a dialogue, Fred Wilder read an original bear story and Charles Williams sang at class meeting.
