Yes indeed the H. S. received a
warm reception from the school board
last Monday. But the subsequent
changes from hot to cold the next
day was not so funny. The ven
tilation system is working we'll now
and the rooms which were redecorated
and fixed up during vacation really
make school more pleasant.

Edith and Frances Strandberg,
coming from Iowa. entered the H. S.
Monday. Edith belongs to the
Sophomore class and Frances is a

this last vacation. In fact we have
all missed the Forrest girls. Cora, May
and Pauline.
The general assembly of the H. S.
Tuesday morning called by Supt.
Fuller were given a number of sur
prises. Not the least of them being
the wish of our Professor that some
half dozen of US were not so comfort
able in the mornings. He believes
humble bees would make good alarm
clocks and having them we might get
to school on time more often. The
sad part of it is that we have each
one pointed out half dozen to whom
we are sure he referred but of which
we do not belong.
