School didn’t burst upon us in- nocent ones all at once this year but was rather eased upon: us, slowly yet relentlessly. On a bright Saturday morn the Seniors signed up to a winters work. On Monday the Junior, Sophomores and Freshmen fol- lowed the Seniors lead and did the same. On Tuesday school life began in deadly earnest. But the fair made us half way forget that the faculty were really in earnest when they assigned us the differ- ent lessons. We were allowed a half of each day to view the won- derful . exhibits and the races. Last week we were drawn with a firm hand back into the path of the studious to remain until fur- ther. release. Our first chapel, September 9th, was nierely to get the old students in the habit again and to-get the new ones acquainted with it. Yet two very beautiful.songs, dear to the hearts of many were sung by the assembly, and one dear to the hearts of two, although one didn’t hear it, was sympathetically sung by Miss Marguerite Snider. Last chape] was most interesting. Miss Simms entertained us first on the piano. The initiation of the new teachers was begun, by the petite and sweet voiced Miss Beauchamp iving us some of her airy notes. Mise Ficklin, mathematic teacher, with Miss Davis at the piano read that heart reaching poem of Riley “That Old Sweetheart of Mine.’’ Miss Davis next showed her skill at the piano by playing a very good imitation of chimes. Miss Faulkner brought, Mr. Coonrod and the girl of-his dreams beforé the school in a very amusing man- ner. Then repeated for us some merry little verses full of mean- ing written by one Miss Simpson, a senior. Everyone enjoyed them loudly. The Rev. Talbert con- cluded the morning program very nicely by telling us how to be a man. Senior Notes. The senior class held a meeting Monday evening’ for the purpose of organizing. We re-elected our president, Philip Carhart, but much to our regret he left Friday for Denver, leaving his flock shepherdless and making it nec- essary to elect a new president. Our present officers are: Doris Wyatt—President, Dorothy Armstrong—Vice Pres- ident. Helen Stith—Secretary. Robert Maddox—Treasurer. Paul Shelton—Sergeant Arms. Thelma Hill—Reporter, Anna Belle Thompson—Sena- tor. ; Robert Maddox—Senator. With so efficient a president it is our plan to excel our predeces- sors in all things. To set an ex- ample for proper behavior and dignity to our lower classmen is a duty we shall carefully observe. Our class felt that when we lost Miss Snider, the loss was irrepar- able, but if anyone-ean take her place it is her successor, Miss Ficklin, whom we all love already and consider one of the seniors. Junior Notes And now we are here as Jun- iors, noted and notable for our good work, as usual. As a class, we showed our good judgment in our election of officers last Tues- day for we chose as follows: Thelma Debow—President. Juanita Holloway—Vice Presi- dent. Francis Godwin—Secretary. Elmer Sturgeon—Treagurer. Ralph rms, Luna Kenney—Reporter. The Senators for the first term are le Harp and Ralph Har- per. f Mr. Coonrod announces encoyr- agingly that the hardest’ mathe- matics to be encountered -in the study of chemistry are to he found in the first month's work.

We are sure they will help us, and we will try to confirm all good opinions they may have as to the good qualities of B. H. S. and the Junior class. It is indeed puzzling when Miss Faulkner sends us to the board .to write a group of words in short- hand. But it’ is even‘ mortifying when she shows us she actually expects us, of all people, to be able to read short-hand. Doubts assail us as we translate ‘cat?’ only to be sternly informed that we wrote ‘‘cake’’ instead. In spite of some mistakes, Miss Faulkner says that we will learn some day. May that day hasten, Mr. Coonrod says that we may not make any experiments in chemistry yet; because, well, just because he ig having a dreadful time just now keeping from losing his head, and in view of the fu- ture perfect” he doesn’t want the aforesaid head blown off, Far be it from us to Object to his decree. i Sophomore Notes.
