Ned Ivey says he hopes that another
rhetorical program will be given soon
so he can show the school few things
about public speaking.
The Sophomores held a class meet
ing Thursday night to decide how they
would be represented in the Annual.
Ward and Claire Totman are out of
school on account of case of diph-
liberia in their family.
The Advanced Algebra class is find
ing even the regular algebra work
rather advanced for them. Many of
the members Of the class have not
had algebra for three years and as a
result are rather ''rustv."
The Mills contest will probably not
be held until the first part of March
as not many of those who intead to
take part will be ready before that
time.
The girls who intend to play basket
ball met at the city hall Friday after
noon and started practice.
Mr.. Duncalf certainly has his hands
full these days with the heavy snow
and the cold weather, but, neverthe-
less, the walks are always shoveled and
the school house warm for which the
pupils are duly thankful.
The A German class has ab out fin
ished Wilhelm Tell and will next read
Minna Won Baumheim by Leasing.
The English Literature class will take
up the study of Coleridge's essay on
Burns.
Friday was book review day for all
the literature classes.
Special examinations were held in
several studies this week for those
who failed in the regular examina-
tions.

a good chance for the high average in
the scores of the different studies.
The H. S. basket ball team is prac-
ticing regularly twice week and in a
few weeks will make an affort to get

We are expecting some good work
