School Notes
Regeue Miller, Reporter


 Since the snow has left, the janitor, Mir. Koskie, has been working faith fully filling out the school grounds and cleaning up the debris which acGumu- lated during the last winter.
 The High school received some copies of the Juneau "Totem" last week. The paper is receiving it's due praises liber- ally. This is the first time any of our High school pupils have found them selves to be real authors. Those who contributed to it from Douglas were Oscar Grundler, Dick Mccormick, Charles Wortman, Leah Hopp, Enid Richards and Almond Richards. We hope that some day our High school will be large enough to supply such a paper for itself.
 The High school is somewhat inter- ested in the fact that Ella Grundler is finishing up her High school course in Juneau this week and will receive her diploma there. Ella's course would have been completed in Douglas had there been full High school course here, and we hope that after this year the pupil, may finish up their work in our own town. However, as there are no commencement exercises in the High school this year, play will be produced the last week of school. Those who will take part are now copying the different parts. The proceeds of this play will be used for reference books, a set of encyclopedia being especially needed.
 The first year English has completed studying gShakespeare's "Julius Ceasar" and will take up Whittier's "Snow- Bound"
