Weather, prognostications have it
that tonight will prove to be the cold-
'est we have had for the season.
Whether the wave will strike here to
its fullest extent remains to be seen,
but every precaution should be tak-
en by those who have tender vegeta-
bles exposed.
Monday night, March 17, 1913, the
Senior class and a few invited guests
met at the home of Miss Daisy Cook-
enboo on East 5th street, for the pur-
pose of cremating their histories and
geometries. The guests arrived about
eight o’clock. After a few moments
of merry conversation they were de-
lightfully entertained by a very in-
teresting contest. After this, they no-
ticed a "bon fire" in the yard, so they
all retired to the yard. The judge,
Mr. Victor Le Tulle called the court
to order and the prosecuting attorney,
Mr. Fleming Carter, gave his speech,
after which the attorney of defens.-
made his speech. The jury then re-
tired to the anti-room and in a very
few moments brought back the ver-
dict that the geometry was guilty of
"Flunking Pupils’, after which the
geometry was cremated.
The case was then brought before
the court that history was guilty of
Flunking Pupils." The prosecuting
attorney, Mr. Foster Milner, made his
speech, then the attorney of defense.
Miss Etta la*e Woolsey, made her
speech, but after all, the history was
guilty and was also cremated They
then toasted marsh mellows over the
fire, and after a few moments of sing-
ing and talking, delicious, dainty re-
freshments were
slated of ice cream ami cake.
At a late hour the guests departeil
for their homes, after spending
a very pleasant evening. Those pres-
ent were Misses Lulu Brewer. Etta Lee
Woolsey, Ix>la McKelvy, Ruth Keller,
Joe Moore. Minnie Harper, Bessie
Schaedel, Lucile Ladd, Emma Schae- ■
del, Mildred Sherman, Matte Brewer,
and Messrs. Ryan, Wesley McKelvy,)

Tlie whole country," said Mr. Swen-

licmfit from this consideration, es-
