Notes from the High school.

The snow is so decidedly gone that
it seems funny to mention it now,
but we never fail to mention holi-
day when we get one, and we enjoyed
the two we had last week more than
we can tell. We have to work mighty
hard, though, to make up for the lost
time, aud we are now reviewing lot
the quarterly examination which
takes place next week.
Another month closed last Friday,
and we will send you the scholarship
list in our next notes.
The teachers tell Us every day about
lettering, and toe pupils had better
stay at home until that first bel
rings. That is the only perfectly
safe plan.
Quite a number of the medal con
tests have selected their pieces and
are hard at work on them.
Teachers payday has rolled aroun'
again, and we always imagine they
are in a good humOr about that time
Austin Cabler and Fred Coos
proved their gallantry the day or th'

and taking several loads of girls t
their homes.
Miss jamie Porter came to schoo

but owing to the extra work we wis
to do for the examination, it will no
