The conflagra- itlon was caused through aotno defect i In the chimney. The flame were be- 'tween the walls In th typewriting ' room and the mathematics room, ex ! tending through the floor and burning quite a bit of the wall downstairs in the hall. Several of the alumni were the most prominent workers in helping j cut the burning portions of the wall. , The fire department was called but the flames were extinguished bjr the . use of chemical fire extinguishers and water without the aid of the firemen. The damages were slight, and ev il ery thing was repaired by Monday forenoon. Although the old building is not so very admirable tt would have been as the loss of an old friend had it burned. STUDENTS ENJOY SNOW. Despite the fact that it was ex tremely cold and disagreeable to get to school, and that the conditions were trbt altogether comfortable after we did get there, the high school students derived considerable pleas ure from the snow after all. i The first day. at noon there were J about fifteen boys ready to meet ev i ery one as they returned from lunch. , and wash their faces. The hair of several of the girls suffered greatly I by being torn completely down and I one girl was compelled to wear her cap the entire afternoon to keep her hair up. A crowd of boys met Mr. Roth and although he put up a grand defense, it was hardly fair, the one against so many, and he was forced to retreat, suffering no worse casualty than get ting his derby knocked off in the snow. Mr. Bailey was met In a like manner and succeeded in giving sev eral of the leading boys a good scuf fle, but. we are sorry to say, his glasses were broken some way, in the battle: Although we will hate to loose the great sport we have enjoyed during the week coasting. I believe we are rather glad to see some of our more natural rain, or better still, a few 'days of warm sunshine. "BOOKKEEPIN' JANGLE" Ah ha. we've finished Set III. Ralph Love says that he tried one of those adding machines and he says he don't "hanker" for one on the account of it having too many numbers on It. "Peacon" Fish says that he thinks a cash register would be better; he was $2000 ahead of ffimself in Set III. We wouldn't dare to put la print what "Grub" Deeta thought when his trial balance wouldn't balance. Rill Llnd- ley says he don't think bookkeeping Just soaks In. Joe Deets says he!paI of fresh girlish laughter echoed ! can't think, there's too much argu : mentation going on around the square , table. We don't know what the girls think ; when they close the ledger wrong or jvpill a bottle of ink on their Journal ; Just after they get the closing entries ! made. I'm afraid a mind reader would lose his religion if he could read us boys' minds at certain times. (To be continued.) NOTICE! The classes in English V have been writing quite lengthy themes the last few days. From among them we will try to, have a story in each edition of the paper. With this edition we are starting a co'ntlnued story, entitled "A Haunted Frolic," the author of which does not wish to be known. This is an interesting adventure of some young girls with "ghosts. A HAUNTED FROLIC. It was a night in late December and the snow lay heavy and white over the" whole country. It had snowed steadily the wtfole wdek but this night the sky was clear and dark blue, , and hundreds of small stars twinkled and winked down at the lit tle village. A big round slash In the blue shone the moon and it's dull light made the snow sparkle like a carpet of diamonds and aent myriads of Irredesccnt ra In hows dancing over It. . A big limb' cracked and fell uuder Its heavy blanket of snow and Its heavy thud resounded back again and again from the forest. A faint, weird, ('Who? Who? of an owl came from far out In the woods and finally there mingled with it. coming from out the sparkling whiteness and alienee of the night, the merry Jingle of sleigh bells growing louder and louder and the Joyous laughing of a roup of young people. On they came, the sounds growing louder, then suddenly the place was filled with their laugh ter, their sleigh bells, and the forest seemed to ring with youth. laughter and life. The sleigh slopped before an Im mense, dark, old fashioned house and out climbed the young people, muffled up to their chins to keep out Jhe chill winter wind. They opened the door without knocking and trooped In, laughing and talking. Through the big. cold hall they went and pushed 'back old velvet portlers, then stood In the doorway staring. A big fire crackled cheerily in the flreplucc and made this Immense old room look like a room from some medieval king's palace, with its elegant, dark stained okl furniture. Everywhere wus holly, the red berries gleaming brightly in their halo of green. Over the windows and the, firdnlaca, around the big 'open doorway and In the corner near the three big windows stood a large Jardlneer filled with big sprays of their red and green beauty. Soft cretonne curtains hung ut the win dows and through them they caught a glimpse of a large frozen hike, and back of that snow peaked mountains. Still they stood there staring, not a word was spoken, then suddenly the silence was broken by the rustl ing of skirts from above. Stiff with terror, heads turned towards the stairs and the blood seemingly froren In their veins as they heard what to j them In their fi iKli. sounded like blood curdling screams and loud thumps on the stairs. Then suddenly they saw her. Down the stairs she came, first her feet up, then her heai. and the thumpty humps rang through the big house mingled with tnany a scream and "ouch." She landed nt the foot of the stairs an Indignant bundle of red dress, black curls, and flushing black eyes. For many minutes she lay there, then Jumping up, a tall, slender whirlwind of wrath, kicked viciously at the stairs with all her tlgeress young strength, then screamed in pain as her foot banged against the hard wood. Then seating herself on the stairs, a softening of the dark eyes Into deep pools of blue black' ness, a flash of pearly white teeth between soft red Hps, and peal after and re-echoed through the old hall. But the group In the doorway had not yet caught the Joke. Kagerly they crowded round her. and question after question was plied on her like hammers. With suddenly raising arms she faced them. "One at a time, please. One at a time. Now what is it?" But again they all started to talk ing at once. She walked by them and going In by the fire curled herself down on the floor near it in a posi tion which clearly said that she would not say another word until they had quieted down. Knowing her well, they soon subsided and sat forward in their chairs waiting. (To be continued.) PER60NAL8. The domestic science class has been making candy the last few days.
