He is very much interested in seed corn and is A certain family in this town goes to working out a few theories of his own years ago from Missouri and says he has never been sorry he made the change.

Look out for a reaction. You know the girl's parents object. The court house people were surprised Monday when John F. Kerrigan county attorney, announced that he had secured rooms over Witchey's grocery. Mr.

Who is the sophomores' artist who draws pictures and designs for his pretty little clasmates? Who uses the little bell most, Prof. R. G.

Taylor holds first and Miss Rebecca Moody holds a close second. The great question "are we going to have dancing and card playing at the prom?" Answer "I suppose so." The German III class will finish its text before long and the old question of "what's next" is before their minds.

A senior girl on going to history class sank into her seat, thinking of her oration, audibly sighed "Oh Dear" whereupon Mr. Taylor asked anxiously "What's the matter." 'Twas with great sorrow and sympathy that the clasmates of Miss Gladys Meyer heard of the death of her father, and we wish to assure her she has the heartfelt sympathies ofall.

One poor junior is crying around among us "they always accuse me of everything that happens whether I am in it or not." How many times are you innocent that you are accused? Mr. Brown and Mr. Wright are he-'roes of the day. After scarcely a week's practice they went to the high schoolfield meet and carried the colors nobly.
