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.
Our symbol (smiles)
Hark, a sweet and cheery warble, see a flash of fly
ing, wings,
.
Catch a gleam of blue amid the fir trees^
Hark, the whistling note our bluebird sings!
Yes, your song will call to us forever,
Tho1- we wander far from C. I. S.
We can ne’er forget our class of ’20
, ;
And our symbol of happiness..

score down by séveral touchdowns. Thè score stood
26 to 0. School spirit ran rampant and seldom has
the student body been more enthusiastic and yelled-,
sang and cheered the school team than at this game.
