One Could Usually Tell By Their Faces

ONE COULD USUALLY TELL BY THEIR FACES

Whether the Markings were High or Low-Scenes at High School Tuesday Morning

Had there been a physiognomist at the high school Tuesday morning when the students were given their markings he certainly would have been interested in the sight to be seen. The faces of the students wore different expressions, and it was easy enough to discern by them the story of success or failure. Some entered the building with firm step and bright face, seemingly sanguine of success, but left with unsteady gait and lustreless orbs. Others tottered into their various class rooms, but came out with beaming faces and lordly airs. But still others there were who didn't seem to care a pin about their work, and sauntered in and out their class rooms as leisurely and unconcernedly as they would walk around the boulevard on a Sunday afternoon. Perhaps the thing which created more surprise was the low markings received by some of the most prominent seniors. The faces which emerged from the physic's room looked serene, as a rule; but it is said that the genial Montgomery handed out more plucks and cons in chemistry than ever before. Miss O'Brien could give out half a dozen 95's in English history, but in the other history classes the general average was not greatly above 85. Last February fourteen students entered Mr. Springer's commercial law class, but only three or four came out with flying colors. The course was a very hard one, and some of the students, to speak figuratively, were rather soft. In other classes the marklngs were mediocre.
