High School Notes.

The highest class In Miss Stearn's
room are reading Eyangeline.
This half year the pupils of Miss
ljaXters room commence Short Studies
IN English and the Elementary Geogra-
ply.
The attendance in Mrs. Funk's room
Is unusually small this week on account
of the measles.
In B 9th Geography class boy wish
cd to know If we obtained gold fish
from the Orange river.
A, 9th class having completed Short
Studies In English and the Elementary
Geography are to begin work in Reed
u Kellogg's Elementary Grammar and
the Complete Geography.
Last Monday the High School receiv-
cd line large case for their laboratory
apparatus. This case Is roomy and ele-
gantly finished and Is quite an import
ant addition to the High School furni-
ture.
There are some Indications of another
school entertainment but these indica-
tons are still In chaotic state and it
Is not certain whether they will mater
ialize.
All the rooms are STRIVING to have no
cases of hardness In order that the fact
may be mentioned in the High School
notes. This affords q good opportunity
for parents to throw n stone in the gar.
den of the school by urging their chill
dren to be punctual.
The town authorities seem TO be par
tial to certain districts of the town. In
some places the street crossings are
cleaned but this generosity does not ex.
tend TO the crossings near the school
building. We do not wish to complain
but We would pray Tor u sympathetic
glance towards the school building.
Perhaps 1t is not realized that children
are much more liable to stick in the
mud than grown people,
We desire that the young people
who graduate from our school shall
not only have passed examinations sat
isfact0rily In the various branches in
cluded in our course of study, but that
they shall have minds trained to think
for themselves, that there shall be
awakened in them that keen desire for
knowledge which can only be satisfied
by the attainment of the true. the good
and the beautiful and that they shall
eventually be men and women of broad
views, kind hearts and strong wills to
be and to do all that is greatest and
best in life.
The G class of High School have Just
taken up bookkeeping and being
anxious to purchase their outfit exactly
as directed have been securing the
town for red ink and black ink pens.
Time to laugh.
The banner of honor has been award
ed for the third time this year to room
No. 4 taught by Mrs. Elnora Browne.
This banner is held by the room that
ranks first in punctuality during the
month.
One of the features of the Friday af-
ternoon exercises held in Mrs. Brownies
room, are papers on arithmetic, geopra
ply, language, etc. Certain pupils arc
appointed to prepare these, to which.
when read Others respond The pupils
take great interest in this scheme which
is an excellent one for reviewing past
work.
Friday, Jan. 22nd, being the anniver-
sary of the birth of Lord Byron, the
pupils in Mrs. Brownies room were pre-
pared with Rotations and quotations
from that poets works. Occurring. as
it does. precisely one month before the
more illustrious one of Washington, in
this as in many other dates the memory
may be assisted by the laws of associa-
tiops and suggestion.
Mrs. Browne has finished reading
Egglesons History, has reviewed the
pupils thoroughly in regard to it and is
ready to begin on q more advanced
work,
Room No. 4 has an enrolment of As.
AZ to A.
