We appreciate greatly such gifts and
hope that more may be added to the
collection in this way. All gifts both to
the library and to the laboratories will
be properly labeled with the name of
the donor, date, etc., and when it is
possible to do so public acknowledge
ment will be made.
Miss Grace Pascoe has been elected
assistant teacher in room No. l for a
term of two months. Fifty-three pu-

much too large to enable one teacher to
give the necessary amount of individ-

ners must be taught to use their fingers
in writing, in drawing and in busy
work and the individual attention Miss
Pascoe will be able to give them will be
exceedingly helpful.

team this year.

undisputed his position as center. Dan
Murphy of Black Hawk is working out
as full back. Ray O'Mera of Black
Hawk has been tried out at half and
end and makes a good showing. Frank
Morrison, last years guard, is expert
menting as full back. Lee McCargar
one of last years star men is playing
tackle. Rae Laird and Geo. Williams
are still ends, but never still. Ray
Keleher and Thurston Matthews are
doing good work as halves.
The football team expects to excel
in end runs with such clever ten-second
men as Williams and O'Mera. "Doc. -
Matthews can puncture the average
line in record style.
