There seems to be some trouble
arising concerning the ringing of the
bell in the high school building. The
bells ring as follows: At 1925 to 1880
a. m, morning bell for purpose of
awakening students, after old college
fashion; s;25 TO s:ao, first bell; s;5a TO
q, second bell; 1910, one tap of bell,
signal to dismiss school on first floor
for recess; l0:30. one tap, signal for
close of recess on first floor, and to
dismiss second floor for recess; l0A5, /
one tap signal for close of recess; IL
tn. one tap, signal for noon intermis-
sion; 1:1O-1;15, first afternoon bell, |
l:e5-i:3O, second afternoon bell; 2:30, |
one tap, signal for recess on second |
floor; 2:45, one tap, signal for recess
IN arst floor. The janitor regulates
his watch by the clock at Whites
| iewelry store On account OF the
limited extent of the school grounds,
, the pupils on the frs and second floors
have their recesses at different periods.
Many people mistake the Catholic bell
for the ,chool bell and thus confusion
arises. However, little time will
obviaie this difficulty.
Some of the pupils now enrolled in
TIC high school ride six and seven
miles daily to attend school.
