on the stage, the freshmen and the
new freshman class had sections of
the parqust. Glass flags were in evil
dence and class yells welcomed and

to the young people taking part.
The high school spirit is exceptionally
fine and the work of the year has been
excellent in every respect. By the
time the speakers finished last night
there was mighty little secret history
Of the school year with which the
