SCHOOL NOTES
the other day, “The opera has-Caruso,
the movie has Doug Fairbanks—the
Cordova, school has me.”
(Kathryn Boyce)
The high school girls have nearly
enough stars for another holiday. The
boys have had one more holiday than
the girls, and feel quite proud of the
fact; but it is much easier for the
boys to get stars, as there are twice
as many girls as boys, and so a
greater chance for absence and tardi
ness among them.
Leona—“What does square feet
times square feet make?”
Peggy—“Big feet!”
** (Pierre DeVille)
One morning Headlee Lamprey came
to school with a watch fob about the
size of a brick. Our teacher said she
wouldn’t be surprised if he fell on
his face when he tried to run.
(Celia Freedman)
All the pupils of Room 3 with the
the exception of one made perfect
in spelling. Instead of studying, we
listened to Miss Wright read to us
about Mary Queen of Scots.
The metric system is a decimal sys
tem of weights and measures. The
principal unit is the meter, to which
all the other numbers are related. This
system was started in France, and it
was so simple that nearly every coun
try took it up except Great Britain
and the Unied States.
™ (Dorothy Dooley)
The freshman algebra class has
Whiten up simultaneous simple equa
tions during the past week.
The high school had two Ayres
eighth grade spelling tests this week.
The averages were 79 per cent and 89
per cent.
(Matthew O’Loughlen)
The Boy Scouts of Cordova have
planned another overnight hike for
Saturday. We had a hike last Satur
day, but it stormed so we slept at the
cabin.
A number of boys in this school are
joining the Scouts. Billy Fields and
Pierre DeVille are going to join as
soon as they get a little older. Miss
Keever appreciates the interest shown
■in the organization.
(Leona Churchill)

It is always an exciting time for the
high school girls (otherwise known
as the “Man Haters”) when the boats
are in port. But an especially inter
esting time was witnessed when some
“tourists” bound for the westward
condescended to visit out school. They
seemed to enjoy our English class and
the story of “David Copperfield.” In
fact, they had such a good time that,
not being at all selfish, they wished
% ethers to enjoy themselves. During
the afternoon the steps were kept
quite warm, as visitors came and went,
ifhose who were a little. timid were
given encouragement by members of
the “Man Haters’ Club.” Nevertheless
we enjoy company, and hope they will
some again. We can say one thing
for them, and that is, they are more
courageous than some of our town
youths.
(Barth O’Loughlen)
Miss Wright: “Sonny, you have a
little moustache right at the corners
•f your mouth.”
Headlee (with a cry of rapture):
“What! Hairs?”
Miss Wright: “Mery, no. This is
\
only buckwheat cakes or something
like that.”
We have two ball teams now. Over
a week ago Eugene and Brooke chose
sides. The teams*' are about equally
j matched, so we expect to play some
good games before the season closes.
The Scouts were going on an over
night camping trif> last Saturday, but
as it was snowing we could not go.
Some of us already had our packs
! made up, so we decided to spend the
night at the Scout headquarters. Of
; course Bill had to bring Gob along.
Those who stayed were: Bill Mc
Gowan, Barth and Matt O’Loughlen,
Raymond Johnson, Walso Walker,
Mike Sheppard and our scoutmaster.
We had watches to keep the fire go
ing. Waldo had first, from 11 to 12;
Matt from 12 to 1, Raymond from 1
to 2, Bill from 2 to 3, Mike from 3
to 4, Barth from 4 to and Waldo
>from 5 to 6. During the night Bill’s
staunch bunk fe_ii to the floor. We
went home qt 9 Sunday morning and
slept most of the day.N*lvery Saturday,
weather permitting, we will spend out
of doors. In bad weather we will
sleep in the cabin.
In Algebra I:
Miss White: “Eugene, take out
your I’s.”
Eugene: “Takeout my eyes' What
do you want me to do that for?”
“I” represented the unknown factor
in the problem.
(Edna Thawley)
Large white “X’s” have appeared
on the desks quite frequently lately.
These signify that the desks were not
cleared off before the pupils left for
home, and consequently an after
school session will soon be necessary
if the pupils do not obey the law and
put away books before leaving the
building.
The new business English and cor
respondenc class have taken a great
interest in the work. This week we
has studied the formation and punctu
ation of business letters. Many
thought we knew the principal rules of
letter writing, but soon found our
ideas carried considerably from those
of the text books.
(Eugene Tibbs)
Last Saturday night some of the
Boy Scouts stayed at their cabin. Just
as they were getting ready to go to
bed, William McGowan’s bed, which
wak a platform of planks, collapsed
with William and his dog, Mr. Gob.
The science class is now studying
about plant life.
(John Rosswog )
The Man Haters’ Club had a very
enjoyable day last Tuesday, when sev
eral young men visited the school,
while passing through Cordova. Eliza
beth O’Loughlen, honorable president,
was ably assisted by Leona Churchill,
Margaret Foster and Katherine Boyce
in'making them feel at home.
(Donald Foster)
In Room 3 Miss Wright explained
to the pupils what the “Marseillaise”
hymn means.
(Helen Downing)
Miss Wright is teaching us the
Soldiers’ Chorus, from “Faust,” and
the “Marseillaise” hymn.
The seventh grade made a game of
a problem in arithmetic. It was quite
complicated, and we tried to do it in
our heads. We compared it to walk
ing a rail without reaching out and
grabbing hold of something. We were
very proud when we finally got it.
(Billy Field)
Baseball’has now taken the place of
marbles.
There are only five more weeks of
school.
(Bryan Lamprey)
Yesterday noon Miss Wright had put
the questions in grammar, and the sev
! enth grade made 100—all but me. The
! sixth did pretty well.
The ice is out of the lake and there
is boat-riding instead of skating.
The sixth grade had arithmetic test
this morning, and Genevieve Dyson
made 100 and the rest didn’t get it.
(Edith Catherine Smith)
A Washington school teacher re

The world is full of men who are
making good livings but poor lives.
A lie has no legs. It requires other
lies to support it.
Men are religious naturally. They
are Christians supernaturally.
Do not take the truths from the Bible
second-hand.
Some men use their religion only as
a life preserver; only during a storm.
Christianity has suffered little from
those who bear not the name of Christ.
It has suffered much from those who
do.
The every-day Christian has seven
chances to the Sunday fellow’s one.
