A Department for School News
Editor-in-chief: John Thorp. '15 Assistant Editor-in-chief:
'17 Class Editor: Veha Carpenter '18 Class Editor :
Training Class Editor: Peaele Comstock
Harold White, 16
Bessie Stoke
The school editors met Tuesday night
and decided upon a new scheme which
seems to work out well. The junior
editor has charge of the events that
occur on Monday, the sophomore editor
of those on Tuesday, the freshman edi
tor of those on Wednesday, tbe train
ing class editor of those on Thursday,
and the editor-in-chief of those on Fri
day. This gives each one some respon
sibility aside from the class notes.
Furthermore this plan lifts the care
from the rest of the editors on the days
other than the one which is allotted to
him. On Friday the editors who have
had charge of the work for the preced
ing days, hand their notes to the
editor-in-chief, who then sees that
they are published.
OUR FIRST GYM WALK.
Yesterday the girls of the first divi
sion of gymnastics took a walk around
the Square. As you know it has been
traveled so much during the past years
that last fall it became necessary for
the town to build a cement walk for
quite a distance on both Park street
and Glover street.
We walked rather slow so as to take
in a large amount of fresh air and see
all the beautiful sights peculiar to na
ture, paying special attention to the
nearby bills as prospects for a future
hike.
Plans are now being made for a
walk in the woods at a later date. We
all think it will be most enjoyable es
pecially if tbe flowers are in full
bloom.
Before reaching the corner, we went
down near the river and did the
"Chimes of Dunkirk," which seemed
to interest people passing quite as
much as it did us. Some other stunts
were performed, then we took to the
sidewalk for a further hike.
We all took special pains to tell each
other all about our day's trouble and
arrived back at school five minutes of
four in very good spirits and with a
great deal of superfluous energy.
THE APOLLO CLUB
Last Monday evening the Apollo club
met at the home of Elsie Chase. 'The
walk both ways was delightful as well
as healthful. We were met before
reaching the door by the hostess, who
ushered us into a room where we laid
aside our wraps. Next, we entered the
reception room where the Latin play
was read by Mr. Metcalf,. causing
much enjoyment and interest. Then
the hostess announced that refresh
ments were awaiting us and certainly
no time was lost at the table for it did
seem good to get some sugar on snow,
doughnuts, and pickles. A walk is
good for an appetite, everyone knows.
After we had all been plentifully sup
plied, we entered the reception room
again and for a short time filled the
room with' an atmosphere of B. A.
spirit. This ended the program for the
evening. After thanking the hostess
for our evening's enjoyment we made
our farewells and started home. The
thought of returning to Barton "loomed
up" within us so much, however, that it
did not seem long before we had cov
ered the three miles of railroad ties,
and arrived home.

Tick: Didn t know we had any

Mr. M called upon "Miss Sinner" to
recite. Guess he must have meant
Miss Skinner.
Tock : Have you heard the story of
the A-rab? If not. ask the genera
science class about it.

in French I :
Miss C : "Give the English
ative of 'go,' Miss Wake ." .

Pot replied: "Yes, but no one else
does.
lick: I noticed this sentence on an
LngJish IV paper. What do you think
of it? "Alhough Lycidas is a pastoral
poem as its characters are taken bv
shepherds, yet Milton so makes use of
his power to make things seem sub
lime and beautiful, that, although we
are conscious of the pastoral thought,
we are, nevertheless, made to think
of other things."
SUGARING OFF
Friday afternoon the academy had a
fine treat by being invited to a sugar
ing off in the sugar camp of C. T.
Miles. This event has been looked
forward to by the pupils with great
eagerness, for a suganng-off is some
thing that takes place every year.
The school wish to thank Mr. Miles
for his trouble, because everyone
certainly had a very fine time.

made the most of it.
A large number of the academy
students went to the 1.50 train Wed
nesday to see Nellie Cooke, '16. off.
She was on her way to Burlington,

As the English IV class is std;
Burke's conciliation speech, there was
a slight diversion from the regular
class recitation Friday. The Declar
ation of Independence was given on
the Victrola.
Mr. Rankin of Newport visited us
again rnday, April 9. He favored
the high school and grades with stere-
optican views of the Rocky Mountains
and the Great Basin, explaining them
in his interesting way. They were of
great educational value and impressed
all who saw them more than if they
had been studied about in a eeo-
graphy.
Thursday, being the fiftieth anni
versary of the assassination of Abra
ham Lincoln, special exercises were
observed in the high school. The
study hall was decorated with flags, as
were the recitation room. The pro
gram was as follows: Reading of
proclamation issued by President Wil

of the Republic," school; "Stars and
Stripes Forever," march, Victrola?
reading on the Semi-Centennial of
Shooting of Lincoln, Ida Wright;
Declaration of Independence, Victrola;

was realized when Abraham Lincoln
was killed.

enlisted in Co. D, 9th Vt. Vols., at

Ernest C. Cass of Newport and several
grandnieces and nephews. When health
permitted he visited these relatives
every summer. Although few people
here remember him except for his
occasional visits, we are impressed with
the truth that another of the defenders
of these pleasant homes whose life
takes almost a century into the past,
has passed forever from our . lives and
is but a pleasant memory.
