The decorating contest was won by
the Sophomores. Their colors were
green and white and they had de.
volved a very pretty scheme of decor
alton, which certainly deserves the
place. The Juniors with somewhat
the style of decoration and the colors
purple and white won second. The
Freshmen had used an entirely new
form of decoration. while the Others
all in way copied from past classes,
and for their originality perhaps de-
served better than third. The Sen
iors might have better remained out
of the contest as was their first ex-
pectation, for all the showing they
made.
Sup't Tobey gave an interesting
address to the high school on Thurs
day afternoon. He spoke of his visit
to Tuskegee, Alabama, and of the
great work done by the negro school
there.
Mr.. Hale, representative for a
filing cabinet concern, was a business
visitor Thursday afternoon.
The Juniors succeeded in getting
ahead of the Seniors by doing some
good hustling. A large sign was pre-
pared with the word Juniors on
one side and the class year "l9l2' on
the other. About midnight it was
taken and strung across the street
near the high school, where it was
visible to al WHO came to school the
next morning. They also raised their
colOrs on the flag pole of the First
National bank where they tloated de-
flying the Seniors, but strange 10 say
the wind or some equally mysterious
agent involved their downfall very
soon after they were discovered by
those same Seniors.
The pupils of the Washington
school gave an entertainment 50 the
high school last Thursday ,S'ening,
San Evening with the Indians." This
consisted in drills and taoleaux illus
trating "Hiawatha. They were very
well given and richly deserved the
