SO to declare. Therefore, l submit

uection with his election. He an
nounced his intention to be present

worthy of the championship of the
state.
The tenth grade English classes start
reading 1.-THE Princess" the second
semester.
The six weeks examinations are near
ly due; the results of these will inform
the ones who are lucky enough to keep
their dement's below fifty whether
or not they will have to take the half
year test, as for the others whose de-
merits ran away with them there is no
hope.
A number of the pupils of the man.
ual training class will soon begin work
upon large mission clocks which are tn
be about eight feet high, the lower
part to be used as book rack. The
works have been sent sent for. and will
be the only part of the clock not made
by the pupils. These clocks will be valued
at about $25 when completed. At pres
ent number of the pupils are making
electric lamp stands of artistic design,
while others are making Roman chairs.
The pupils have reached degree of
excellence which other manual training
classes will find hard to beat.
