Our High School has an enrolment
of 80 pupils this year. There are
seventy-three girls and twenty-si1
| boys. This is great improvement
| on last years attendance, and we
hope that the number will be increaS
ed still more next year.
There are ten in the senior class
all girls They are, however, such ex
eeptional girls that though the boys
are missed, this is one of the bright
est classes in the nigh school.

Athletics.
AT a meeting of the boys of the
High School. early in October. il was
determined that the P. X. s. wouId
go in for athletics, and would begin
by organizing>a football stt-am. With
this end in view. Darwin Movers was
elected captain and manager. and ar
engagements made for commencing
practice as soon as possible.
The High School has the material
this year to make an exceedingly
strong team. and with plenty of hard
practicing under a good coach. the
prospects are very bright for turning
out one OF the fastest teams the High
School mas vet produced. It is hoped
hat the High School may obtain
game with the Classical School for
Day. If this can be ar
-anged. there will be the hardest
fought battle tAat has ever taken
place between the two schools. for
he teams are about equal IN weight.
Plans are now on foot for organic
ng a track team TO win back the
-rophy which the Classical School
;aptured two years ago. If the mate
-ial now at school will only work as
lard for tie track team as they have
or football the trophy is certain to
,e back at the high school after the
meet
