HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
By H. Krogseng
X Xxx Xxx XXX < Xxx X x X \

Wednesday evening the senior
class of the Bemidji High school held
"a meeting at which they decided to
give farewell reception to Miss
Mona Flesher, a member of the class
who will leave Bemidji soon for In
lianola, Iowa where she will make
her future home. The reception will
he held Saturday evening at the
home of Earle Riley on Minneso-
ia avenue and will be attended by
members of the class and faculty
only. Miss Flesher has been a student
in the Bemidji High school for the
past three years during which time
she has made a great many friends
who regret to hear that she will leave
this city. During her course in the Be-
midi schools she has won fame as a
master of oratorical selections. Two
years ago she carried off first honors
in a declamatory contest and helped
win the. championship. of Northern
Minnesota for the Bemidji High
school.
High school students are. prepar-
ing for the first week examinations
which will be held commencing the
first Monday of the sixth week of
school. Last year the examinations
were held earlier and commenced on
Thursday of the fifth week. The
change in time is considered a help
to the students as they are given more
time to cover the work upon which
they. are examined and enables them
to review the work already covered.
"Can not come to Bemidji for Game
Saturday. Expenses too High, was
the wording of a telegram received
by Coach Bestul, manager of the
High school football squad, from the
manager Of the Red Lake Falls team.
Coach Bestul Immediately wired Park
Rapids for game, but the eleven of
that city feared that it was not
strong enough to clash with the Benz
idji team for the opening game of
the season. Because of the late date
at which the games were Cancelled no
game could be secured for this week
and the local squad will be forced to
remain another week without game.
Just why Red Lake Falls Cancelled
the game is now an important topic
among the candidates of the Benz
idji team and all are willing to agree
that the reputation won Dy the teams
of the last few years has frightened
the weaker opponents of Northern
Minnesota
The eleven will play Fosston next
Saturday afternoon at Fosston and
will practice every evening this week
to make sure of a victory.
Miss Newton, music instructor in
the Bemidji schools has organized a

Tale Of q Lost Will.

A lost will found in a ceiling at
Chatsworth reminds us of the curious
case Of Lord Hailes' will. He was q
Scotch judge. and when he died in
1892. as no testamentary paper could be
discovered, the heir-at-law was about
to take possession Of the estates to the
exclusion of his daughter and only
child. She sent some of her servants
to lock up the family mansion, which
she had to give up. and from some
window shutters there dropped out
upon the floor from behind q panel the
missing will. which secured her all the
family estates and property. Why do
people take the trouble to make. sign
