The Normal Reading Class visited
the First and Second grades Friday to
see practical demonstration of dra-
matization. During the next week or
two several trips will be made to the
primary rooms and Misses Evans and
Rose will show the class how to teach
primary reading, including word drills,
phonics, etc., the idea being to make
the work as practical as possible.
Several boxes of supplies arrived
last week, including drawing paper,
chalk, erasers, etc.
The Agricultural Glass made field
trip recently and examined field Of
growing corn near town. One day last
week they visited the home of j. B.
Mitchell and inspected his supply Of

benefit of his fifteen years Of expert
ence along this line. Monday and
Tuesday of this week each member
of the class secured ten ears of seed
corn and spent the time in learning to
Judge corn.
The honor list for the period is as
follows: Seniors: Jessie Smart, first;
Alice Clemmer, second. Juniors: Kate

At meeting held for the teachers
Monday evening, it was decided to at
tend the Northeastern meeting in the
spring rather than the State meeting
next month, the trip to and from Des
Moines being SO long and tireso'ae as
to make it inadvisable to 60 there.
The roofing at the football game
Saturday was the best ever heard in
Cresco. Mr.. Wells is proving to be a
splendid voice trainer, especially from
the standpoint of noise.
For when the.One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He writes--not that you won or lost,
But how you played the game"
The Freshmen in order to become ac-
customed to appearing before a crowd,
gave two programs Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons after school to
which only Freshmen were invited, all
taking some part on one of the pro-
grams.

Societies held their first program this
Friday afternoon,
Watch for the first inter-society pro-
gram between the Deliver and Hawk

Cresco plays Fayette High School
on the South Side grounds this Friday
afternoon. Fayette has heavy team
and as they were the only team to de-
feat us last year, we are anxious to
even up the score. A large crowd
should attend the game, as we lacked
about $25 of paying expenses at the
Usage game.
