High School Doings

Our program last Friday was

gave good oration on "Who
Should Receive Pensions1" and
Ethel Sargent's oration n
"Julia Ward Howe" was also
intensely interesting. The de-
bate, "Resolved that one long
session in High School is pre-
ferable to TIVE short sessions
was won by Leo Keen and
Hazel Ellis, who defended the
affirmative side, while Frank
Pehatchek and Minnie Robin
son upheld the losing negative
side. The next program will
be held Thursday, Nov. 18th,
instead of Friday as formerly.
!. Miss Rieke and Mss Runkle
attended the football team to
Moorhead last Saturday. They
both bought pair of ear rings
al the 10 cent store there. Of
course they are not going to
wear them.
Miss Allensworth's birthday
occurred last Tuesday, and she
received some nice gifts. She
was lucky, however, in keeping
the secret from the students
till it was all over.
All the pupils were going to
tske up a collection Monday to
give to the janitor for being so
kind. On account of the low
temperature of the assembly
room we were dismissed for the
morning.
Tuesday was election day for
the voters, and vacation day for
the High School pupils. Hope
there are more election days
soon.
