School Items.
At the meeting of our school Board
held last week, Miss Minnie Waters of
Constantine was engaged as principal
of our high school, in place of Miss
Rosewarne, resigned; also Miss Aggie
Simmons OF Lawrence for 1st intermedi-
ate. Both these ladies occupied the
same relative positions at the above
mentioned places.
In the first primary the following
names deserve especial mention as hav-
ing been neither absent nor tardy dur
ing the spring term. Leo Waters,
Myrtle Monroe, Oscar Baugher, Olive
Hoger, Harry Wilson, Nettie Nichols,
Arba Hawley, Leland Warner, and Eva
Sheldon.
The 9th grade have been doing some
very fine miscellaneous work in English
and have kept blank books containing
sentences in diagram, and essays on
various subjects, each one illustrated
by drawings. Miss Viola Salisbury has
the credit of having a little the neatest
book in the class, and we were much
interested in looking it through. One
noticeable piece is an extract from the
"Courtship of Miles Standish" prefaced
by picture of the Puritan maiden and
John Alden at the critical moment
when she asked the telling question,
'Why don't you speak for yourself,
John?"
Now is the time of year when the
''star scholars" who have neither been
absent nor tardy during the entire
school year, shine out in brilliant con-
stellations. A glittering galaxy in the
2d intermediate includes Hattie Eye,
Viola Monroe, Ila Hall, Milly Bundy,
Kittie Showerman, Ray Wilson, Harry
Spcer, Mertie Eye, Charlie Paige,
cluster that lights up the 1st intermedi
ate comprises Hugh Hurd, Jennie
Dillon, May Willison and Bessie
Parker. In the first primary a trio of
tiny, though very bright stars" in
cludes Wade Killefer, Freddie Hew-
son, and Hattie Pierce.
A most spirited contest has this year
been in progress in the highest class of
the first primary, as to who should leave
off the head most times in spelling, and
wee Nettie Nichols is now the proud
possessor of one of Pansys story books
given as first prize, while little Gail
Parks is the triumphant owner of the
second prize, Il beautiful pen-knife. AS
there are 10 boys and only 6 girls in
this grade, we think the boys will need
to wake up little next year, unless
they wish the girls to carry off all the
prizes.
The program of the Thursday even
ing Commencement exercises appear
ing below, promises fully to equal any
thing of the kind ever given here. The
class of '92 is bound that every detail
shall be in keeping, and has even
made arrangements to have the rink
lighted by electricity at its own expense.
That Mrs Will Miller has consented to
superintend the decorations, guarantees
a beautiful display.
