TICK TOCK. Tick : Tock, I would a word with you. now many persons, go you suppose really know who we are, or what we do? Tock : I don't know and should hate to hazard a guess. But what of that? Have you noticed some of those good "hair cuts" that are float ing about school? One boy got his hair cut and then had to buy a new cap. His old one was too large. Tick: I noticed V. P. teasing H. S., about his new style of haircomb ing. Tock: Don't you think it is time, Tick, that seniors should not use such expressions as "hadn't ougnt, "very awful," "ain't got" and the like? Tick : Oh ! they'll learn someday. Although we were not at the fair grounds Thursday afternoon, I have heard considerable gossip about how carefully J. E. K., and L.

Thursday night after school the academy baseball team played a prac tice game with a team from the village. The true B.

The game was not only a source of a good time but one of good hard practice for the team. "The people in Willoughbv would like to correct the report made in the Barton locals of last week in regard to the two men who ware brought before Judge Thompson being from Willoughby.

Miss Colburne gave in a few well-chosen words a paper on, "The Call of the Out o' Doors." This was followed by an informal talk and anecdotes showing the intelligence of the lower animals. The hostess then entertained the club with selec tions on the graphophone. The annual business meeting of the .club will be held On May 12 instead of May 5.

'10, visited the training class (?) last week. Miss Ferrin was absent from school Thursday morning on account of ill ness. Beginning this "week the T. C. girls will teach arithmetic to the sixth and seventh grades. It looks as though summer had come by the number of gaily colored birds flying about the schoolhouse. There is a collection of pictures and snapshots being made at the academy. These pictures are ones which pertain t phases of school life at the academy or something connected with the school. Friday morning the seniors held a class meeting, at which Mr. Bates was present, and their respective parts for graduation were allotted. Now, every one must work hard to prepare himself for this closing occasion. On Friday the English IV class had another change from their regular recitation. Mr. Metcalf had kept words mispelled in the Lnghsh themes jand in tnat recitation he had an old j fashioned spelling bee. Orin Carpen- I A- 1 1 A I ter spelled the clas3 down on the word "co-eval." The domestic science girls held an ice cream sale in the D. S., room Thursday. At one table ice cream and cones were served and at another prettily decorated table frostpd cakes were sold to the famished students and teachers. Both ice cream and cake were delicious. All are hoping that there will be another sale in the near future, FRESHMAN RECEPTION. The freshmen royally entertained the faculty and members of the high school at the club house April 19th. They had a very pleasing program which consisted of the following num bers: Songs by the school, "How Cyrus Laid the Cable," Leslie Elliott; piano solo, Esther Brunning; "How Me and My Betty Killed the Bear," Flora Emerson; vocal solo, Martha Burdick: Kentucky Belle," Phyllis Urie. During the evening refresh ments were served consisting of punch, cookies, fudge and sandwiches Music was furnished for dancing and promenading by members of the junior class. The freshmen certainly could not have chosen a more ideal night, or place for their reception. The porch had many cozy corners which were frequented by several, and not one of them complained of ' being cold. But perhaps they were used to it. There have been many changes of late, among them promenading. At least it seemed popular Monday evening for the young ladies to select their part ners for the last promenade. Some seemed to enjoy it, but we noticed the boys looked rather sober. COLLEGE PICTURES. During the school year several of the New England colleges Yale V. M., Williams, University of Pennsylvania have presented the academy with beau- tiful pnotogravures of their coIIpo l ? i i uuuuuigs or campuses. These the ctcduemy nave placed upon the walls of the recitation rooms. As a conse quence the rooms have been made more attractive. In several instances the pictures needed framing.
