HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Bright Young Life has Passed.

Sorrow prevailed not only among rel
atives and intimate friends but was
quite genuine throughout the town when
it became known that one of our bright
est High School pupils had passed away.
Elva Halsted is dead. Can it be pos
sible? Has this bright, joyous spirit
passed forever beyond the cognizance
of the finite mind? Will we never a
gain be able to meet her as a student,
to greet her as a friend, or to behold
her ladyhke' department and retiring
manner upon the street?
Dead, no, not to me, not to you, for
this concourse of students and friends
that followed her remains to its last
resting place, but eXemplifies the fact
that our young friend, in whose mem
DRY these ceremonies were in honor,
will ever live. Dead, no, She simply
sleeps, awaiting the call of the Divine
Voice.
She peacefully lay down by the way
side on Lies highway, and using her
burden for pillow, fell into that dream
less slumber that knows not breaking,
morn of toll, nor night of waking.
She climbed the heights of affection
in our hearts and entwined about and
around us the close-clinging and tender
tendrils of love. She added more than
her mite to the sum of human happi-
ness and now sleeps beneath the beau
tiful pines of Oconto Falls.
Friend, student, classmate, not for
the few short fieeting years of life, but
forever. Goodbye dearest Elva! May
we emulate thy bright example and be
always worthy of the same high esteem
as that in which you have been held by
your companions; may the furnace of
affliction burn out the dross and make
of the residu a golden chalice in which
to bear consolation to others so that we
may live with the consciousness that
somehow, somewhere, meet we must.
1t is not the tears at this moment
she'd
When the cold turf has just been
laid DER her
That can tell how beloved was the
friend that's fled,
Or how deep in our hearts we de-
plore her,
IT'S the tear thro' many long day
wept
lis life's whole path DER shaded;
IT'S the one remembrance, fondly
kept,
When all lighter griefs have faded.

Every seat in the High School is filled
and we are awaiting new seats.
We believe we have as capable and
conscientious a corp of teachers as will
be found anywhere and the school work
is extremely gratifying to say the least.
With a we'll grounded teaching force
and suitable supplies we are determined
to give the individual student the best
in the history of the school. We ask
the cooperation of the parents in see
ing that your child is prompt and regu-
lar in attendance.
: Just one word of explanation to some
) parents. The rooms are filled; one
: teacher had eighty-fve, hence wewere
compelled in justice to all and still
maintain our grading, to arrange one
! half day sessions for some of the little
, ones. We would do otherwise if we
had the room; however if you will bear
, with us for brief period we may be
able to readjust all the grade programs
and have some of the other teachers
during music We regret this but it
will be but temporary.
The grade teachers have Board Cal
endars artistically drawn and timed for
=, October.
a Miss Benesh has organized Chorus
Club and definite regular meetings will
t be scheduled shortly.
