High School Notes.

/
this cooperation which we appreciate
more than you can realize.
The High School this year has an en-.
rollment of 164 pupils, and it is 3
deplorable fact that we were forced tc
turn away few tuition pupils as We
did not have the room to accommodate
them.
This is larger enrolment than we
have had in any previous years and
this combined with the aid Of the new
school house, which is now we'll under
way, tends to make this one of the
best years C. H. S. has ever known.
We have ten new teachers in the
school this year, four of whom are in
High School. Four from the class OF
IYl3 are back this year to take Normal
and Postgraduate work.

Next Friday afternoon, Oct. 2. each
of the societies will hold a separate
program in each of the society rooms.
These will be the first programs held
this year and we all hope that C. H. S.
will be able to keep up the standard in
this line of work that she has obtained
in years previous.
The boys have begun band practice
again. having their first practice Wed.
nesday night. They are again under the
management of Claude Elzea and we
hope they will be able to do as much
toward creating enthusiasm in High
School as they did last year.
Miss Ruth Connolly has kindly con-
sented to take the High school orches-
ira again this year. The first practice
was held Monday night. Indications
are that the orchestra will be better
even than it was last year.
DR.. Breed of Grinnelll College gave
an interesting talk to the pupils this
morning. The students appreciate
these talks and it is hoped that when
the big school assembly room is en-
larged 80 that every one is seated COM
fortably. these talks will be of fire.
quent occurrence.
The football team is rapidly rounding
into shape. The line will be heavy,
but the back field light. However, it
is predicted that this team will be bet
ter than the one of last year.
Miss Hughes. the supervisor of mus
ic, will begin her work with the High
school Glee Club this week. There are
some remarkably good voices in the
High School, and with proper training
it is trusted that we will have some
thing better than anything we have had
in the past.
The new members of the teaching
force were very pleasantly entertained
last Thursday evening at picnic sup.
per at t.Vernon, as guests of the other
teachers. The evening was cool
enough to make the bonfire seem just
right. and an enjoyable time was spent
in conversation and singing as we'll as
with the supper. We hope that this is
only the beginning of many pleasant
occasions among the teachers.
