WASHINGTON SCHOOL ITEMS

WASHINGTON SCHOOL ITEMS
School work at the washington
building is progressing with rapid
strides since vacation. Everyone
seems to have come back with Il re.
solve to raise their standard Of schol-
arship or die in the attempt. Here's
three rousing cheers for our faithful
workers!
Very few of the pupils in any of our
grades have left school this spring,
which shows that we are all interest
ed in our work and are determined TO
learn as much as we can. That's
right, boys, and we're proud of you.
Several times at unexpected inter
walls we have seen parading around
about our building pair Of capacious
outer garments and an expansive
smile that just matches. Of course.
there's somebody inside those gar
ments and behind that smile
We have not seen Joseph Erick-
sons genial face since vacation. Come
back, Joseph, we miss you.
Adele Haugen is again at school at
ter an absence Of several days.
One of our Soldier boys men,
Der of the "body guard" has become
mounted officer, we observed the
other afternoon.
Astride prancing charger he exc.
cuted some military tactics which
were admirable. Somehow said charg-
er must have carried Chestser outside
the city limits for he was not at
school the next morning. perhaps be-
cause he did not return to town in
time
The eighth grade girls are knitting
nova days but find it slow and hard
work. No wonder, girls, do you know
what you have not remembered to do?
Well, you know grandma's equipment
always consists of spectacles that
hook around the ears, a little lace
cap and a box of snuff! How can you
expect to learn without any Of those
things?
The Seventh Grade Literary Socie.
! ty had a very exciting debate at their
last meeting: the subject was, ere
solved that the Japanese and Chinese
should be excluded from the u. So
and the negative won. The speakers
were as follows Affirmative Rose
Rosendahl, Anna Skoog and Anna
Berg. Negative Carl Engelstad, Will
berth Olson and Oscar Golden.
The Sixth Grade had a terrible az
cident the other day that nearly
broke up our family circle completely
You see we had an awful arithmetic
test and our marks were perfectly
horrible. No self-respecting sixth
grade would allow themselves to get
such marks and so you just watch us
next time. There won't, be enough
marks Of 100 in the atmosphere for
our teacher to use in marking our
dazzling papers. '4.,~
We sixth graders mean business
nowadays. We aren't staying out OF
school, we don't miss our lessons if
we can possibly keep from it and al
together we are working hard to get
the very best marks we can. None
of us have LETT school this spring anG
we're going TO stick to our WORK anC
our schoolroom till we finish on June
2, with a grand finale. Even ther
were going to try to be sorry vaca
ton has cone and we can't do any
more studying for three months. II
The spring air is so nice and warn
that we can now have our windows
wide open to let in as much as car

dustry AMI we can hear the sprins
| birds out doors, too.
