Many of the Alumni people were
| home for Thanksgiving vacation.
This school was honored by many
| visitors Monday morning. Chas.
| J ohnson, from the State University,
| spoke to the pupils about the mission
| ary work each ''U" student was ex
! pected to accomplish.
Perhaps you will all remember that
on Monday it was slightly chilly.
! When the scholars arrived at school
they were contented, or rather acted
as though they were, to sit around the
radiator with coats, mittens and over
shoes on. No wonder all the lessons
were so we'll recited. A better recep-
ton awaited them on Tuesday, which
the pupils trust will continue in the
| future.
So far this week there have been
many absences from the high school.
| Don't become discouraged yet, school
| mates: wait until more snow comes
and you will not have very long to
| wait either.
New Latin books arrived the first
! day of this week, sight reading for the
Junior class, and their respective
teachers remarked that they were
taking readily to the work.
Report cards were handed to the
high school pupils Monday noon.
| Looks as though the teachers had
been wisely improving the holidays,
doesn't it?

sences and no hardness. Among the
upper rooms, the sixth grade is the
"banner room," having but twelve
days absences and no hardness. The
others better work harder. Who'll
get it next time?
The Seventh grade does not have a
sufficient amount of time to prepare

grades are taking recreation, they
have an extra session extending from
