Linden School Chatter
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day!
Do you know who'St. Patrick was?
Some traditions show that he was
born ,in Scotland about 389 and
died about 492. St. Patrick seems
to have been a man of very strong
will power and very considerable
executive power. He founded 360
churches and baptisted 12,000 peo-
pe|, ond ordained a great many
priests. His name is connected with
scores of localities throughout Ire-
land, and generally there is some
local stories connected therewith.
At his death so great was the glory
that there was no night for 12 days
The V. A. boys moved the Coun
ty Superintendent into the new
offiice puildiug last week. The
money which they received is to be
paid into the chapter treasury, the
amount being $16.00. The V. A.
Boys want to thank Mr. Boon for
his kindness for giving them the
job although it will take most of
the money to pay for the rubbing
alcohol to relieve aching muscles.
This is a original theme written
by Annie Ham a senior:
A MODERN CAVE MAN
At the corner the excitement was
intense. The lady screamed, "Kill
him!" "O, kill himl" But the mill-
ing mob obstructed the passage of
the police. From the outer ranks
of the crowd where he stood, the
handsome, heroic man could not
see the cause of the screams; how-
ever, he could see that the lady was
young and beautiful. Throwing
his shoulders back and expanding
his chest, he strode—as the anci-
ent cave man had often done—to
protect the lady by masterfully
killing—a mouse!
The Linden High School is grat-
full to Mr. L. L. Harper for two
volumes of "Forward March"
which is a photographic record of
the world war and its aftermath.
Mr. Harper is a former teacher,
has never lost sight of schools.
These books are all ready provid
ing popular they are never in the
library except after school hours.
Many of our students are ill with
flu. Not only pupils are the vic-
tims—Miss Taylor has been out
all week entertaining the flu.
We are glad to report Mrs. Earl
Wray improving, We hope Mr.
Wray will soon be able to be back
in our ranks'.
Last week Marie Ham and Troy
Green were making sales talks in
speech class. Troy was attempting
to sell Marie a fur coat.
Marie-"How about the coats
durability?
Troy—"Oh! That's not much."
When we were preparing the bal-
lot for the popularity contest James
Catessaid, "Add the ugliest boy
so I'll get a vote Jack Morgan
seemed to be of the same mind he
added fattest boy and wrote his
name after it, on his ballot.
