‘SCHOOL NOTES
(Continued from Page Six)
work was done and it was such a
lovely day. This made it especially
nice for some of the high school girls,
as there happened to be some good
dancers on board the Alaska, which
got in early that afternoon.
Barth: “Why is John’s head like
Napoleon?”
Harry: “I dunno. Why?”
Barth: “Because it’s his honey
part.”

A number of people who are unable
to visit school during the regular
hours have expressed a wish to visit
various grades when their time per
mits. As it is impossible for the regu
lar school hours to be convenient lor
all, Miss Keever has planned on a
Friday evening session soon, instead
of the usual afternoon class. Recita
tions covering our most interesting
subjects will be given special atten
tion. The exact date of this evening
class will be announced later, and wTe
hope for a large attendance of all the
school patrons.
School will be dismissed May 19—
Isn’t it a grand and glorious feeling,
though?
Six of the high school girls have
formed a “humane society,” and their
neighbors insist the results are any
thing but wrhat the name suggests.
A particular liking has been taken to
canines, and Dorothy Dooley, who
possesses almost a “menagree,” is
busy distributing puppies among
the “humane workers.” Almira Mc
Oc^van and Katharine Boyce have
formed a “partnership” on a shaggy
dog called “Gob.” Margaret Foster,
after due ceremony, christened hers
“Romeo,” while Leona Churchill and
Elizabeth O’Loughlen have named
their joint possession “Cleopatra
Saturn.” Dorothy’s are named respec
tively “Adam,” “Eve,” “Shylock,” “Ju
lius ‘Cawsar’ ” and “Brutus.” We
hope that our readers may understand
we have derived something from our
term’s study of Shakespeare.
A most enjoyable study of ornithol
ogy has been introduced into the pri
mary grade. Wednesday afternoon
Miss Kolbenson accompanied her
pupils on a “bird walk,” and a num
ber of our Cordova birds were iden
tified. A chart, with mounted colored
birds, has a list of birds found in this
district, of which the latest is the
“Lazuli-buntine.” recognized Wednes
day. All of the children are enthu
^siastic over this new study.
Mrs. J. H. Sellen and Jane and John
pollen visited the primary grade on
Friday afternoon.
Dorris Adams of the high school is
leaving on the next trip of the Alaska
for her home in the States.
(Leona Churchill)
As everyone Will remember,
Wednesday was an ideal spring day;
every high school student will re
member that day as being very suf
focating in the rooms, our desks
seemed unusually small, and the
pages of our lessons a yard long. Miss
Keever must have caught the spirit,
for as a result she favored us with
t , *
the afternoon off from 2:15, “as a
present,” she explained, because we
had completed our work.
The freshman class were reviewing
their ancient history, and Miss White
^called upon the class to sum up the
Si fts of the different races to civiliza
tion, when one of the boys thought of
dome thing no one had mentioned.
Teacher: “Yes?”
Student: Oh, ya, Egypt gave us
the germs.”
Teacher: “What? Say that again.”
Student: “Well, it sez right in here
(pointing to his closed book) that
Egypt gave us the germs.”
The history was immediately con
sulted and Miss White read the fol
lowing: “From the Nile came the
germs of much found in the later cul
ture of the peoples of Western
Asia”
The advanced history class is now
reviewing the year’s work in another
history. We have doubled our les
sons and make our own outlines for
them.
Bookkeeping has always taken
more time than actual labor, and now
that we have finished it the people
must not be surprised to find us at
the show oftener, or loitering on the
streets after school.
| “ ‘Freckles’ was his name.” There
are many to whom the name might
be applied at home here, for the sun
kisses are surely blossoming out in
: fine order, especially among our en
1 chanting “Cigarettesses.” (This is a
| secret order lately organized and
wholly independent of the ‘‘Man
haters’ Club,” which is all the in
formation I am permitted to impart
to the public, under risk of my life.)
The sand tables in the primary room
have been turned into gardens,
wherein the tiny hearts of peas, nas
turtiums and beans slumber. In the
corner pussy-willows are taking root,
later to be planted for future useful
ness. But the corner that attracts
the eye most is the shelf of bright yel
low daffodils and fragrant narcissus.
Soon the lilies and hyacinths will add
their delicate faces to the row.
(Brooke Lamprey)
Miss Keever has ordered some
printed reward certificates for pupils
that have not been tardy or absent all
year. Those in Room 4 are John Ross
wog, Edna Thawley and Dorris Ad
ams. The pupils in Room 3 having
the best records are Bryan Lamprey
and Mike Shepard. Those with good
records in Room 2 are Verla Greenig,
Raymond Johnson and Sadie Pratt.

civics instead of history.
The first year algebra class is now
having the solution of the formulae.

The typewriting class very much
appreciates the fact that Edna's type
writer is again in good order. Also,
that several other typewriters have
had their various ailments remedied.
(Dorothy Dooley )
The freshman class having com
pleted the year’s work in history, are
taking civics. They have memorized
the preamble and are now studying
the constitution.
(Pauline De Ville)
The freshman class in science has
recently finished the study of rocks,
glaciers, mountains, etc., and are now
studying a new chapter about “Living
Matter” that is much more interest
ing.
Miss Wright: “Why is a lake that
has not outlet salt?”
Harry O’Neill: “Because it gets in
there and can’t get out. It hasn’t
anything else to do, so it just makes
salt.”
(Margaret Foster)
Great was the surprise of the high
school when Miss White informed
them that one could say almost what
he felt like saying in poetry. This
point was proved in a line of Riley’s
poetry. We have been using quite a
lot of poetic license. Don’t be shocked
if it reaches your ears. We are all
poets from now on.
(BillyhField)
The sixth and seventh grades had a
spelling review of twenty words. The

been taking it now for about three
weeks.

studying the Revolutionary war. They
are about half through.
(William McGowan)
Baseball seems to be the fashion
now. All the boys brought their base
balls and gloves to school Friday morn
ing.
We were having civics Thursday
when Miss White told Pauline that
two noes meant yes. Pauline said:
“Next time I have to stay after school
, I’ll ask you twice if I do. Then two
yeses will make no.”
(Genevieve Dyson)
Miss White is now taking Miss Kol
benson’s place in teaching penman
ship in Room 3.
The drawing class in Room 3 is

age.
The seventh grade arithmetic class
is studying about the metric system of
measuring.
(Donald Foster)
