In raising the required amount for this
function and 1t is sometimes necessary
to set q rather heavy class due In order
to meet the expenses. with a good
staff Of officers the juniors should
come out with flying colors and have
sufficient left over for their senior ex-
penses next year.
The tendency of the present junior
class Is largely toward the commercial
subjects and each class is crowded
Typewriting has been especially pop
ular this year, making II necessary &c
secure more machines Arithmetic
and geography classes are well taken
up.
There are large number OF the stu
dents this year who have elected
chemistry and 1t has been necessary on
account Of this to turn away some OF
the late ones from the class.
There has been grand rush for the
domestic science course. Since the
course was first installed, freshmen
and seniors were allowed sewing, now
on account Of lack of room the seniors
have been turned away, except those
who absolutely need the credit, and the
freshmen are allowed the privileges OF
this class exclusively.
Cooking is allowed onIy to the SEN
Tors and there Is great deal Of inter
est shown In the work. This course
was installed only last year and has
been very popular one. Miss MacKay
the domestic science teacher, has been
obliged to work overtime to take care
of all the students who have elected
her subjects but it Is hoped that after
more room is provided, this will be
eliminated.
Miss Beatrice Olson, who has charge
of the public speaking, is planning TO
select six OF her most promising stu
dents and organize two debate teams a
little later in the year. If possible
steps will be then taken to secure dates
with outside teams and work up this
line of competition in the high school
Heretofore debating teams have not
been given great deal OF attention,
but with the installation of special
public speaking instructor, debating
will be worked up and with some of the
material which already shows promise
of excellence, a good team is predicted
The two high school literary socie-
ties, the Kents and the Phostarians,
have not met this year, but 1t is ex-
pected that meetings will be held very
soon and plans laid for some good pro-
grammes this year.
The present seniors number forty
eight and generally tend toward the
science courses. The seniors, although
never a very strong class, will put
forth special efforts to keep up the usu-
al standard Of the local high school
graduates. There are several Of the
schools best athletes in this class, and
though few in number, they are doing
much to make the school what 1t is.
The popular publication of the high
school, The Cynosure, Is predicted to
be one of the most original series of
numbers ever offered by a senior class.
Here the seniors will show their skill
in editorial fields, and with the present
staff under the leadership Of Miss
Lindberg, all are expecting something
