HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(By Stella Baleria.)

ule. The single session plan has
been adopted. The pupils assemble
at o'clock as usual, but with only
a half hour noon, are dismissed at
1:35. This plan will be used the rest
of the week.
The question of adopting the sin
gle session plan the rest Of the win
ter months is under discussion. Prof.
Clark Is at present seeking express
sions from the parents of the High
High school pupils to bring written
opinion.
If the new plan is adopted, school
will begin as usual at o'clock. In
stead, however, of being dismissed
at 1875, as this week, school will run
perhaps forty-five minutes or an hour
longer. The school law requires a
full forty-five minute recitation; at
present, each recitation period has
been shortened ten minutes.
The plan will be used only in the
High school, and not in the lower
building. In some ways the plan is
beneficial It means, however, late
dinners or lunches. This may be a
burden upon some mothers. So Prof
Clark will not decide the matter un-
til he is sure the community favors
the single session plan.
None of the Russell Gulch pupils
were present Monday, but on Tues
day most of the boys appeared. Eu-
nice Edwards was the only girl from
the gulch. Wednesday practically all
were back in school.
By Tuesday most of the boys were
frantic to be back under the care
of the teachers. Too much snow
shoveling is reported to be the cause
of this interest. Victor Harvey is
still breaking trails.
Vera Goldberg was absent on Mon
day, but not on account of the snow
She is somewhat reluctant to tell
the exact reason for her non-appear-
ance.
bookkeeping hour, Jack McCallister
had the misfortune to spill his bot
tie of red ink. AS a result his desk
looks as though some secret, bloody
deed has occurred.
Miss Anderson and Mr.. Hamilton
are busily engaged studying for the
coming county teachers ,examina-
tions.
Miss Mccormick goes to Denver,
where she will take oral exams be-
fore the State Board of Examiners.
On Tuesday noon the Senior girls
were having great discussion con-
cerning Love and Imagination. 'Is
love a genuine feeling. or does one
simply imagine ones self in love?"
That was the question for debate.
Before the girls were through they
were deep in the quicksands of Psy-
chology. Concepts, emotions, feel
ing, imagery. and other mysteries,
not to say terrifying words were
hurled to and fro. Some of them
are willing to confess they are talk
ing about something which is, to
them, unknown. So the debate has
not been settled. The girls, doubt
less, are waiting for further expert
ence.
Mr.. Hamilton and his program com
mittee are beginning to prepare the
programs for next semester rhetori-
Gals. They claim that their set will
be the best yet.
The deep snow has brought Joy
to the hearts of few of the boys.
Not on account of the JOY of shovel
ing, however, but because it gives
them an opportunity to make and
use skis and snowshoes. Some have
already stolen enough lumber off the
far side of woodsheds to build their
skis, while others are still busy plot.
ting. II the snow lasts there will be
some experts in the Union High.
The program OF last week was post
poned until next Friday, the 18th
The program for that day will be
