High School Notes
After the week's vacation school has
again commenced with mewed vigor.
New blackboards have iustbeen com
pleted in four of the rooms, adding
greatly to their appearance and con
venience. On Fridayjevenlng the teachers will
be entertained at a banquet given by
the girls of the Freshman and Sopho
more classes.
A LUNCH
There were six boys who gave a lunch,
They ea-h belonged to the High School
bunch.
They'd tried all things from fritters
to pies,
And thought themselves very wise.
They Bold one lady there soups for four
While she was standing outside the
dcor.
They ttacked four crackers on every
plate,
And passed th m out to meet their fate.
Carl served the food, Jim took the
"mun"
The cooks had lots of iolly fun.
The luncheon cost but iust a dime,
Therefore it lasted a very short time.
Some, quite soon, came back for more
So you see for yourself it was not si
pour. R.L.B.
THE MERIT OF THE
COOKING CLASS
I am pressed to write a poem
'Bout the cooking class advance,
And I find tbe suhiect harder
Than I thought it at first glance.
Can I find no words at all now
To express the classes' power?
Can I think of nothing worthy
lo make glad that cooking hour?
Ah, I've found it, found a subject
That will famous make the girls:
Friday night they gave a dinner
One t'waa worthy kings and earls.
They invited all the School Board,
Then prepared a menu rare,
And with artful care and learning
Spread the table with the fare.
I did not ettend the banquet
For I do not cooking take;
But I heard from other people,
That the service waa just great.
