THE ANACONDA STANDARD, SUNDAY, JANUARY 25, 1920. 9 [spans columns 1-3] # Week's Events in Butte's Schools ## Prepared Entirely By the Pupils Themselves ## Column 1 ### Garfield School ### By Viola Eleffanty "Observations of a Schoolroom Clock" There are many things observed by the schoolroom clock that are not observed by teachers or pupils. There are especially many things that the clock sees that should make the children thankful that it was the clock and not the teacher who saw them. A child may think when he hides his face behind his book and whispers to the pupil across the aisle that he was unobserved; but that person must have forgotten that ever alert, observing, useful article on the wall. If this person would stop a moment to listen to the ticking of the clock, he would seem to distinctly make out the words, "I see you, I see you," over and over again. Of course, there are many phrases that fit in with the ticking of the clock, but the one just mentioned would be most suitable at this time. It would be expected that a clock in an eighth grade room would never see anything but pupils studying and reciting. Once in a while, even the best pupils in the room are not able to keep quiet. If the clock were to tell the teacher what he saw in the room, it would be disgracing all of the pupils, including the best ones. "Never fear," says our good friend, the clock, "though I see much, I always mind my own affairs and 'tick, tock, tick, tock' is all I have to say." ### Greeley School The following is an exceptionally good class poem, written by Miss Myrtle Henderson of the eighth grade of the Greeley school: In the southwestern part of Montana, The place where the elk love to roam, Surrounded by rivers and mountains, Lies a city we love to call home. It's built in a beautiful valley, On the Milwaukee main line to the coast, We also have the Northern Pacific— A privilege not many can boast. As we travel over this country, Frow [sic] the far East to the bright golden West, And glazing over the wonderful state, Montana to us looks best. We read of the dells of Wisconsin, Minnesota with broad fields of grain, Illinois with her corn fields glowing— Then we turn to Montana again. We find her blue-ridged with mountains, Her pine trees so tall and so straight, We pass over her broad fertile valleys The pride of this good western state. From this wonderful state we have chosen, Dear old Butte from all the rest, We are proud today to caim [sic] for our home— The Copper city of the West; She has beautiful parks and playgrounds, And her churches of every creed, With the public high and graded schools, Our city is still in the lead. It's my privilege today to tell you Of a school that we all know; Just south of the city, you'll find it— Old Greeley on Silver Bow. Her boys are witty and handsome, She has bright girls a-plenty. And we are gathered today to say farewell, To the class of Nineteen Twenty. To Ruth and Mildred, who entered school, And made their grades each year, We hope they will meet new pleasures in life; Through the friendship they hold so dear. To Mildred Otto, whose pleasant smile Was the first to greet us each day, You will miss her here, but be glad to know, She will brighten another's way. And day after day as your songs you sing, You will wait in vain to hear The soft, sweet notes of Provis' voice, As it ranged so loud and clear. And now comes Edward, the tease of the school, Though the smartest one in his class; His lessons were easy—exams were a joke, We knew long ago that he'd pass. To Patrick and John, our witty ones, With lessons so perfect each day, While grammar, world war and history, too, Came so easy, it seemed like play. And last but not least, is Elsie so fair, So full of laughter and cheer, We were all afraid that she could not pass, As she struggled along all the year. Old memories rush o'er my mind just now, Of faces and friends of the past, As we take up new duties of fields yet unknown, May our friendship stand the test that will last. So farewell to the class of my old Greeley school, Where we struggled for knowledge and fame, May you, each, climb the ladder of life to the top, Bring honor and success to your name. As we part and go Out into the world yet unknown, Each choosing a path of his own, May Greeley be proud of the lessons she taught, And Butte that you call your home. Give cheers for our old Copper City, Long may she prosper—not fail. With Butte High, public schools and churches, Our home town—the best of them all. ### SHOT BY BROTHER; DIES. (International News Service.) TRENTON, N. J.—George Pullen, 14 years old, of Hamilton township, this county, who was shot by his 8-year-old brother Arthur on Jan. 2, when the little fellow playfully pointed a shotgun at him and pulled the trigger, is dead in the Mercer hospital. His lower jaw and part of his throat were torn away. ## Column 2 [portrait: woman, head and shoulders] MISS ELGA M. SHEARER, Assistant Superintendent Butte Schools. ### McKinley School ### By Margaret Jackman Many times have we hoped on a sleepy Monday morning that "the old building had burned down," but little did we realize what it meant until that hope came true. I guess every one remembers that ill-fated day, Dec. 13, 1919, when our dear old building was burned. We never knew how much we loved it until it was gone. The loss was heavy, not only because of the building itself, but the books and furnishings that were entirely destroyed, among which were the new library books, many of which had never been read, numbering over 100. The grades through the sixth, except the kindergarten, attend the Lincoln school from 12:30 until 4:30 p. m. The departmental grades are accommodated at the school of mines, in the building which was formerly the officers' barracks. The barracks is a large, frame building on the north end of the campus. Only the north end wing is used for our school building, the south wing being used for the school of mines students. The rooms are small and the desks are placed in double file just like it is in "The Days of Real Sport." The ventilating system is quite a novel arrangement, consisting of a trapdoor in the ceiling of each room, which may be opened or closed at any time by means of a rope. The windows are easily opened for still further ventilation. The building is equipped with a steam-heating plant, so we are comfortable and contented, though not altogether as happy as we were in our old "winter home." Classes began with complete attendance in our departmental work on Monday, Dec. 29. We followed our usual schedule of recitations and study, though each of the periods was slightly shortened to allow time for passing new books and supplies. The lower grades began regular work in the afternoon at the Lincoln school. The task of satisfactorily placing 700 children was a most difficult one, but has been accomplished most successfully and now we are working quite as though there had been no break in our winter pastime. ### Monroe School ### By Tom Ferguson "MAUAL TRAINING." [sic] First I selected the material to be used in making a step ladder; this accomplished with little difficulty, I was ready to go to work. The boards had to be measured and squared and some had to be cut at right angles. The cutting and squaring is the most difficult part of all. When this was done I nailed them together and the ladder was finished for we are not required to stain or paint the step ladders. The material cost about 25 cents. It took about five one hour and a half periods to finish it. I gave it to my father to use in our grocery store, and when we left the store, it was still of use around the house to many advantages. ### Monroe School ### By Vera Phelps "H. C. L." Oh! my, the times are getting hard, With labor, strikes and prices, When we buy a loaf of bread, We have to count the slices. We can not make our candy fudge, The sugar is so high, And eggs—almost ten cents a piece, We have to pass them by. And meat—the strength of life and limb, So high we can not tell; It used to taste so good to me, We can hardly get a smell. And yet we are content to stay, Though our scanty meals don't suit, For we can not save a penny, With the H. C. L. in Butte. ### DRUG SHIPPER SENTENCED. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.—Sentence of two years and one-half in the federal penitentiary at McNeil's Island, Wash., was imposed here today upon Laurence A. McBride, importer and exporter, by the United States district court, following conviction of concealing a shipment of goods in interstate commerce. It was charged McBride received a shipment from the East of $10,000 of phrenol, a drug, intended for transshipment to Kobe, in violation of the federal laws regulating narcotics. It is reported that the Buddhists of Japan are planning to establish a university for women. ## Column 3 ### Garfield School ### By Jim Murphy The eighth grade has had many interesting debates on problems that have come up recently. The first was "Resolved, That the negroes in the United States should be deported to Liberia." Liberia is a negro republic on the west coast of Africa, having an area of 35,000 square miles, and is governed entirely by the colored race. The debate was decided in favor of the negative, the principal points that the winning side brought out were: 1. The negroes are citizens of the United States and therefore could not be forced out except by changing the constitution. 2. There are 9,800,000 negroes in the United States and if these were deported it would mean a big decrease in the industrial population of the country. 3. The negroes would refuse to go and there would be riots and many people killed and much property destroyed. 4. It would cost the United States much money, and money is needed to pay for the war, just now. 5. The climate of Liberia is very warm, and many of the race would not survive. The points brought out by the affirmative were: 1. The negroes would have people of their own race in office, while in the United States there are few, if any, holding public office. 2. The country of Liberia has a good climate to raise fruits in as the soil is fertile, and they could become rich by trading with other countries. 3. The negroes commit many crimes in the United States, and if they were deported it would be better for all. At another time an interesting debate was heard on the city manager plan of government for Butte, and was decided in favor of the negative side. The work in debate is done in addition to the regular class work. ### Lincoln School One of the most interesting graduating exercises of the week took place on last Wednesday morning at the Lincoln school. The program as presented, partially, is given here: Class poem, written and delivered by Miss Ursula Lahiff, entitled, "So Long, Lincoln." Oh, teachers dear, a parting tear now dims our weeping eye; Our lips are still a-tremble as we try to say good-bye. But high school now is calling, and the call we must obey, To scale the higher mountain peaks on education's way. My schoolmates should it all befall our path should sundered be, We'll cherish still our Lincoln days in happy memory. Whatever fate may each await, we'll never cease to be, In sympathy and helpfulness, a happy family. My dear old Lincoln, 'tis time that we bid our well loved precincts a fond good-bye. Where'er life leads us, or whatever our fate, our love for thee will never abate. Teachers and classes in our memory shrined, And with our heart strings are closely entwined. There are tears in our eyes; we cannot help but sigh, So long, Lincoln, good-bye, good-bye. The class prophecy by Emily Wellcome: (Mrs. Sam Johnstone's crystal ball was used to foretell the future of the class.) In a few years Miss Butler will be, Teaching Spanish across the sea; Miss Kelly will stay in the Lincoln school, Putting knowledge into many a fool, Annette Mayer can draw just fine, She'll make her living by drawing designs. Patrick McGee back to England will sail, And get rich quick by selling whales. Agnes Hanratty like her mother will be, A school teacher in district number three. For John O'Leary, Madame Fate, Has decided he'll be a magician great. Eleanore Bronson is as good as her looks, She'll work in a store and keep all the books. Margaret Shea will be tall and lean, She'll add up her fortune on an adding machine. Louis Belangie will work in a store, He'll be the one who walks the floor. Malcolm McDowall will try with might and main, To be an engineer, and run a big train. Ursulla Lahiff will be a teacher serene, She will never be cranky or even mean. Louise Moore will train for a nurse, She'll cure all her patients if they don't get worse. Irene Gelberg, an authoress will be, She'll write such stories as you'll hanker to see. John McDonald will travel afar, And be a demonstrator for Henry Ford's car. Fletcher Thorpe will tinker with clocks, He'll be a bachelor and darn all his socks. Miss Agnes Hanratty was the authoress of the Last Will and Testament, and proved herself most interesting as she read the following: We, the members of the eighth A class of the year, 1920, being of sound mind and body, do hereby draw up our last will and testament, bequeathing all our valuables, assets, etc., to our friends and enemies. 1. To Miss Butler, Miss Kelly and Miss Connelly, we bequeath our very sincere gratitude for their efforts in our behalf. To Miss Connelly and the eighth B grade, we will our Junior song books.

We trust Kenneth will then be able to keep track of all his things, especially his pens and pencils. To Harold O'Leary, Margaret Shea bequeaths her Palmer movement.

We hope you'll like it, Albin. bequeaths his ability as a clock [sic] He [sic] hereby nominate, elect, appoint and name as administrator of this will and testament, out most faithful friend, Miss Anna De Vere Butler.

(Signed) EIGHTH A CLASS. ### McKinley School ### By Lizzie Maury "AN ODE TO RED HAIR." Mine is a life of trials, Which I am now going through, Mine is a life of nicknames— I'll here recite a few: "Bricktop," "Beettop," "Carrots" and "Red," Any more?—best left unsaid. Before I went to school at all, 'Twas just the same as now, The girls would sit upon a wall, The boys astride a bough, And yell at me, "'Twould make straw burn," But I would say, "'Tis just auburn." ### Emerson School ### By Helen Blakeley Our commencement exercises to which our parents and friends were invited were held on Thursday morning, Jan. 22, at 10:30 o'clock.

I am a little snowflake, Without a care or fear; All the children welcome me, For sleigh-riding fun is here. I am a little snowflake, They come and step on me; I cover fields and meadows, And tops of hills and tree. —Eleanor Huber. Fly away little birds, 'Tis your season to go; The winter is coming, With cold winds and snow. The flowers have gone, From meadows around, To live in their seed And their roots under ground. —Edna Brew. Snow, snow, everywhere, On the ground and in the air; In the fields and in the lane, On the roof and window pane. Snow, snow, far and near, We are glad to see you here. Snowball making will be fun When tomorrow's work is done. —Bessie Kristovich. Snow, snow, on the ground, Whirling, whirling all around, Sleigh riding will be lots of fun, On Saturday the lessons will be done. The wind was blowing the snow away, And then Jack Frost came back to play. —Sigrid Johnson. ### In Dillon.

She finall[y] took Dr. Pierce'[s] Golden Medic[al] Discovery whic[h] cured her. W[e] consider it a miracle.
