Last Thursday, Mr. Scholes gave a
very interesting and instructive talk on
astronomy. He told us about a clock
with which many of us are unfamiliar
1t is peculiar clock, far from us, seen
only at night, but not in cloudy
weather. The big dipper in the
heavens forms the hands of the clock.
Mr.. Scholes explained very clearly,
with the help of the blackboard, the
different positions at various times of
the year.
The high school principals usually
receive the records of their students
during the first year at the university.
Prin. Parlin has received the records of
Geo. McNaughton, which were half
excellents and half goods, which is
considered very good for Freshman.
Our manual training exhibit will be
made the 25th of May, and the boys are

it. We are trying hard to make it one
of the best in the state. Mr.. Mathie

he had seen in the state, but the one
this year will be better. We have 200
