you ever hear Aiiua: "Say,
I ,
me in the hack, will
no; it would be a benefit to the
student body if the students were
compelled to stay one hour after
School for tire purpose of fetudy.
I think a pupil should be kept
in each day. at least a hour, if he
is not meeting the average standaui
of grades. If lie is allowed lo con-
tinue his poor work, his teachers
will be held responsible to a certain
extent. Also, if he is allowed to carry
low grades; the other students will
follow his exafnple; consequently the
entire school will receive Hie name
of "slacker."
A student remaining in would
have access to the library, which is
in the study hall, for any references
that would help him. He might also
have help from the teachers of the
subject with which he is having
trouble. It would also he a benefit to
tiie student body in that they could
gpt the majority of their lessons in
school, and not at home.
Probably you will say that it
would cause the students to have a
feeling of hatred toward the teach-
er;- for muking them stay in, bur
ENGLISH LITERATI-UK
_ In spite of the fact that our tench
or Mr« Howard, is known through- 1 the teachers are not doing it to spite
out the school for her closeness in (the student: they are only trying to
grading, none of the English Liter-
ature students failed the past r^onth.
Many interesting things have hap-
pened in our class each day. The
"dignifi ,l Seniors" have reverted
lo primary days and are cutting
out paper dolls and putting them on
horses. These paper products re-
present, or are supposed to repres-
ent Chaucer's pilgrims on their way
to the shrine of Thornos A. Beckett,
but I doubt if Chaucer would recog-
nize some of the representatives of
his handiwork. We have also been
studying the Rise of the Drama. Ill
connection with its study, we are-
building a miniature theatre (more
primary work, but we Seniors are
allowed that privelege.) The plan
"Hamlet" in the near future. The
hoys ara building the stage, and the
girls are making the characters, so
it should be a great play presenta-
tion Perhaps Shakespeare might
rrcognize it as a distant cousin of
his "child."
Sh—students, hold your breath:
It is rumored that several "R's" were
made in English Literature the past
month. Dame RUmor also has it
that there is a possibility of on "A"
next month. Let's all hope hat she
next month. Let's all hope hat she
is correc.
COMMERCIAL DEBARMENT
The commercial sudenls this week
have been studying "Sacramento"
and the trail of "4ft." They have al
so been studying business letters
heli them, so that they will not al-
ivay: be "dumbbells." Also, you
might say that most students have
an education so that they can use
their heads instead of their hands
in later life. It would be better for
them to give up an hour of work,
and put the time in on their school
work.
Another point that you might
bring out is that some students have
to catch the four o'clock bus. That
could be easily changed to 5 o'clock
so that the students could remain in
school.
I hope that I have convinced you
that it would be a splendid idea if
tile pricipal would put this sugges-
tion into .force. What is your opin-
ion of such a plan?
Sincerely yours,
Veld." Stephens
AN INTERVIEW WITH MIL
DICKSON
It is gratifying to me to know
that the high school pupils are mak-
ing better grade; than at the begin-
ning of the term." said Mr. Dickson.
"The high school spirit is much
better this year than ever before;
arid with a few exemptions the disci-
pline of th£ pupils is perfect. The
high school faculty and myself are
rxpectfng gr'e'at things of the high

is no doubt but that we shall get

SVh'en we chemistry .<tudeht> entered

proved to be very disastrous for
man} concerned. Mrs. Howard start-
ed it (what IT is we doti't kn6\V,
but IT iS very disconcerting) by
advising us to be careful, as one
piece of apparatus, the retort, was
valued at about two cellars and
fifty cents. Verily, 1 say, we were
careful, too careful, in fact, for in

when Ed York oecame over anxious

demolish his retort. The trend of
conversation war. turned in his di-
rection, when suddenly a crash was
heard, and half-smothered exclama-
tion;- of anger, distress, and despair
escaped from the lips of Eugene
Johnson, whose retort was as per-
t'ec an exa'.'iple of a wreck as has
eve: been seen.
R> this time, the other students
had learned their lessons; they han-
dled the retorts with cotton-padded
gloves. No further casualties were
reported that afternoon, but those
| persons mentioned above have sent
to the county poor house for applica-
tion blanks.
SOPHOMORES'
We art- the sophomores of '2'J
In the sports is where we shine,
All round the building you can see
The soplis. and always tlie're full of
glee.
When in work or when in play
They do.their duty day by day,
Always good sports with each other
And having a good time with some-
one's brother.
Oh their president, she is keen
Has a Ford and everything,
Well—in algebra she may be slow
But her name's still Mary as you all
know.
Then we have a Doty sharp
Vice-president and on the mark.
Always has her wo'rl: on time
Never shirks or pulls the line.
There are sixty-five in this class
And we lbfe most every lass.
Not only are they sweet and cool
Bu> ne^ei :V one doth hreal: a rule.
Sir Seigle, ar. yon all know
1st'1 a bit sly or slow,
But our yell leader, stout and strong
Has a "wliopee" for everyone.
Now our sponsors arc both true
Misses Dacus and Anlaut too,
When the honors toward us fly
Wi are all bound on high
And our motto, "Win without boast-
ing,"
Keeps us from going down-hill coast-

Absentees
Lorrrayne llorrocks was absent
Tuesday. It was heard she had a
hot water bottle at her feet, an ice
pack at her head, andcouldn't tell
whether she was freezing or melt-
ins.
Martha Hull has been absent be-
cause oi tonsilitis.
Frances Butts and Dorothy Bauert
have b'6en absent-minded this week.
Will someone tell me who Orville's
new crush is? We sophomors must
stick together.
Are Pee Wee and Mary starting
a news stand? Their large supply of
j magazines seems to indicate some-
thing "Newsy" somewhere.
Some students seem to have found
other ways ol using rice besides
throwing it at brides, and other ways
oi using test tubes besides for chem-
ical experiments.
Gladys Holden was absent from
school Friday on account of illness.
Listen! Everybody! I have great
news! Guess what happened? Rob-
ert Smith was ON TIME this morn-
ing and had the necessary material
ready when the shorthaod class be-
gan.
Miss Guenther gave out invitations
this morning to the daily shorthand
party. All invitations were accepted.
A:; several of the students had se-
vere headaches, and other dreadful
pains (after receiving tho invitation
to the shorthand party this after-
noon) Miss Guenther merely an-
nounced that we would have the
PAR'I'Y in the hospital alter school
from 4 until 5 o'clock.
Ruby Gibson is very unthoughtful.
She lias scattered her "diagnosis"
to practically every student in the
commercial department.
Everybody take notice! The com-
mercial students are going to dis-
play their talent before long by giv-
ing a play in which most of the stu-
dents will probably take part.
It is said that Miss Guenther has
it IN for Mary Jo Dorr. Wonder
why? ? ?
Irma O. had better make 50
words today or-—wonder what'11 hap-
pen ? ? ?
You know it always hurts people's
feelings when they are slighted. Miss
Guenther never slights anyone. She
issues invitations to everyone - IN
WHOM SHE IS INTERESTED.
Mrs. Howard's English II class has
been studying argumentation, and as
a result there have been several
new patients in ilie "hospital" from ]
4 to 5 o'clock.
Miss Alatif's pet name is "Bci." i
Hence the latest greeting is "Ho-Bo." j
I ask you confidentially: Why do!
they call Ruby Gibson the "Phono- j
graph"?

A THREE DAYS' COUGH IS
YOUR DANGER SIGNAL
Coughs from colds may lead to serious
trouble. You can stop tliciii now with
Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that
is pleasant to take. Creonuilsion is a
medical discovery with two-fold action;
it soothes and heals the inflamed mem-
branes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosoto is recog-
nized iiy high medical authorities as oat:
of the greatest healing agencies for coughs
from colds and bronchial irritations.
Creomulsion contains, in addition to oreo-
arid Ileal the inflamed membranes and
step the irritation, while the creosote
goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into
the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
und checks the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of coughs from
colds, bronchitis and minor forms of
bronchial irritations, and is excellent
for building up the system after colds
oi flu. Money refunded if not relieved
after taking according to directions.

Cigarette manufacture by the application of
