Back, Men! This is for Our
Lady Readers Only

We know Spring is coming
soon. Not because of swell ing
buds, not because wild ducks are
going northward, not because of
any robin 'cheep:' but by a sign
just as infallible. We have heard
the womenfolk whispering a.
round about taffeta and voile and
moire and beads and new straws
and one thing another. and we've
watched EN- pore over fashion
pictures and dig around in old
bandboXeS so we know what's
coming. 1t wouldn't be Spring
without women's fashions. We
decided to help along good
cause; and on another page this
week we print two articles of pc
culiar interest to women: Lin.
gerie Ribbons Embellish Under.
muslinS," and 'Girdles For
Dancing Frocks. We use these
phrases thus carelesSly because
we don t appreciate their impor
tance and their seriousness to
the ladies. Husbands, big broth
ers and sweethearts are warned
not to read these articles, though
a peep at the illustrations may
bring a change OF luck.

SCHOOL NOTES

/
Only one tardy pupil this week
Jordan Bogart is out of school
on account of sickness.
Every member of the senior
class was present Monday and
Tuesday.
Not pupil was out of Miss
Rippees room Monday except at
the recess times.
Miss keller's pupils are enjoy.
ing a very beautiful tower-the
cjneraria- which she secured
from the Experiment Station
last week.
The senior class has begun
work on their class play-At the
End of the Rainbow which will
be given some time before the
close of school.
The pupils in Miss Gaskill's
room are enjoying some new ma
ture study leaflets that not only
furnish material for reading
classes but also for drawing and
language work
Mr.. Arnold is allowing all his
seventh grade pupils, who made
an average of s., in their eXami-
nations, to take additional work
in US. history. Those in the sth
grade take algebra.
The tulip, hyacinth and jon
quill bulbs put out in front of the
building last fall are growing
rapidly these sunny days and if
nothing Injuries them we shall
soon have pretty flowers instead
Of the bare ground to look at.
The ratter OF tardlneSS was
discussed at the faculty meeting
tuesday afternoon. 1t seems
that some parents do not under
stand that pupils are tardy if
they fail to get to school at nine
o'clock. An excuse may take the
blame off the child and put it on
the parent but still not remove
the tardy mark.
Supt. Smith of the Seymour
school spent most of the day Fri,
day visiting the school here. Mr..
Smith has succeeded in raising
his school from the third to the
second class this year but he is
not willing to stop there. He is
especially anxious to improve
the grade conditions at Seymour
and the Board gives him time to
visit other schools to see what
they are doing. He has two as
sistants in high school and can
give much of his time to super.
vision just what we need here.
We enjoyed Supt. Smiths visit
and remarks in the different
rooms. We know he saw some
good work in the grades and be-
.ieve his visit will be mutually
helpful to US all
The play-The Kingdom of
Hearts Content given by the
members of the junior class at
the opera house Friday night
was an entire success from ev-
cry view POINT. 1t is difficult to
select play with the number of
characters corresponding with
number of boys and girls in the
class. Every pupil is required
to take part, this work being
made part of the prescribed
work in English. Choosing parts
to suit each student is no simple
matter. Each member Of the
class did his part quite we'll and
some of them did exceptionally
good work. 1t was their .irst
effort on the stage and the pupils
are to be congratulated on their
success. The total proceeds was
S4l.75. This gives the juniors
S31 30 and when expenses are
paid will leave nearly S2S to be
used for the school.
