Blessings on the graduate
With thy lordly meln and gait
With thy condecending smila
Beaming on us all the while
Blessings on thy learned pate I
Would I were a graduate
Cheerily then oh graduate
Buy thy patent slices orate
Quarrel and grumble while ye may
Joys like these must end some day
All too soon you must subside
From your dignity and pride
That we may step into your shoes
Trusting that you will excuse

Under Graduate
Leroy Sawyer of the 11th grade was
absent last Tuesday
The 11th grade now display their
class colors and we suppose from the
looks that they are settled not the
grade but the colors
Miss Maud folks of Crookston for
merly a student in our schools visited
Elsie Sherman Thursday and
anied us to Ft Niobrara
The 11th grade and Mrs Watson
last Wednesday joined the physics class
in experimenting with the new elec
tric appaiatus j ust received
Last Tuesday we received our report
cards with grades for the preceeding
term The great majority found them
to be a decided improvement upon
those of the spring fever term
Misses Alma Carlson and Eva Hard
en visited with us Monday afternoon
- The former has just completed a most
successful term of teaching in Cody
the latter has just returned from at
tending business college in Omaha
Mrs Easom of Morse Bluffs mother
of Miss Mary Easom accompanied by
lier little granddaughter Agnes has
been visiting with her daughter during
the week and last Monday paid calls to
the different departments of the school
Those of the 10th grade who some
time ago wished their Roman History
class to recite in the high school room
have found an argument the effects of
the study on the 8th grade yes for in
the last examination most of them con
fidently slated that tne liver secretes
Gaul
The high school and 8th grade ac
companied by Rev Cumbow and Mrs
Watson the teachers and several ex
schoolmates went to the fort the morn
ing of the 20th to pay respects to the
memory of Carl Irwin It was much
regretted that but three members of the
bereaved class the Misses Stinard and
Miss Simpsou were able to be prese nt
The 9th grade literature class had
-another debate Friday on the topic re---solved
-That-the white man has had a
good influence over the Indian Agatha
Shaughnessy and Alice Gaskill support
ing the affirmative and Floyd Petty
crew and Dela Thorn the negative
The subject was carefully and intelli
gently discussed and the negative ap
proved by the judges so we heard from
the 11th grade who attended
Heres one on the 9th grade
While several members of that grade
wereout botanizing recently looking
downward from the bridge which spans
the dam they saw what looked like a
square patch of smooth bright green
vegetation All hastened down the hill
at break neck speed filled with the hope
of obtaining a new aud rare specimen
But alas what was their chagrin when
on arriving at the spot they found that
the beautiful green patch was only the
town reservoir and saying only it
might have been they slowly climbed
the hill again
