SCHOOL NOTES
Happenings Told In An
Interesting Way

The girls of the June gradual

Friday. They came to use the
school sewing machines in fin

declared that they were eager to
return next year TO stay.
No wonder every one is white
as a ghost and silent as a fence
post and j. j. II. S. as dreary as

tions are here! Yes. those long
dreaded exams are here.

and field man, won third place in
both the high jump and the pole

After four years of hard labor
our graduates are enjoying their
Senior Week to the full extent,
and are rather lording it over
the less fortunate pupils of
James John. Heowver, we take
il all good naturedly, as we all
hope to enjoy this privilege some
day.
The end of the inter-class ten
mis- tournament is drawing near.
The difficulty in getting the play
ers together and the variable
weather have so conspired that
il has not been possible to set a
definite date ahead and invite
spectators. The Freshmen have
thus far proved themselves the
most skillful players, for they
have won out i'm girls doubles
over the Seniors and i'm boys
doubles over Sophomores and
Juniors. The Freshmen teams
are Ruth McGregor and Floy
Colfey, and Flavius West and
Henry Jower. Girls doubles
with The Juniors are yet to play.
In boys singles the Juniors. rep

leave school before the close of
the term, because of the illness
of her sister in Newport. but she

Monday was the closing day
of the mock trial conducted by
the English History class. The
case, Magone, plaintiff. vs.. Shaw,
defendant, was a damage suit
for injuries received by the
plaintiff in being run down by
the defendants auto. The testi-
mony was quite amusing at
times. and the class took much
interest in the case. After be-
ing out about ten minutes. the
jury brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff and placed the damages
at Sl.O70.52. Edna Hollenbeck
and Florence Wass conducted
the trial for the plaintiff. while
Basil Smith acted as attorney
for the defense. This is the
second mock trial for the class.
Those who take part in the
Senior Play are practicing faith
fully, and they have their lines
nearly ready for Tuesday night.
Judging from the rehearsals.
they all have a goodlY quantity
and quality of college spirit. BE
sure TO come out and see The
Juniors.
The class of 'l3 has once again
proved that theirnumerals stand
for good, rather than in fortune.
