High School.

The school is now equipped with q
new reading room, a portion of the
lower corridor at the east end having
been partitioned off into a spacious
room for that purpose. This became
necessary when the growth of the me-
chanical drawing department made il
impossible for any part of the old Ii
! brary room to be reserved for library
purposes. As arranged at present, the
reading room adjoins Miss Dukes
room. and as the library is particularly
useful in her work, this adds to its
value
Two volumes of Webster's I'm
abridged Dictionary have been placed
on shelves at the south end of the as

who are seated in the rear of the room.
On Wednesday morning Principal
Clark mentioned among other things
addition to the assembly room of the

some pupil shall give the school some
facts regarding each picture as it is
placed on exhibition. This will be
done in the case of the first picture

stating what the size of the score
would have been had the field been in
good condition. Had it not been for
the obvious advantage that a heavy
team possesses on muddy field, it is
highly probable the score would have
been doubled. The reports of contem-
poraries regarding Friday mornings
exercises are in error. The programme
was carried out with the consent and
approval of the faculty. and the stu
dents were reciting in their classes at
9:25. The pupils of the High school
know that there is a time for play and
time for work. and when doing either
they do their best and should have
credit foc it.
