HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

bOtn music classes unlteQ IN Singing
1.-THE Sea Song" and 1.-THE Sandman,
for assembly last week. The class dit
well. The various parts were rendered
beautifully. After the songs DR.. New
! lon addressed the students on the sub.
| ject, 1.-THE Heroes of War and the He.
roes Of Peace. It was very inter.
esting talk and presented to the hero
worshippers a new type, the man Of
science the preserver of mankind.
Miss Marguerite Snyder attended
chapel Thursday morning to hear her
former classes sing.
The interest in the track team grows
daily. The training camp pitched on
the north grounds are scenes of intense
activity. Pole vaulting is rapidly be-
coming the chief interest. Even the
fascinating game of marbles has been
forced to give away to the superior at:
traction. Curly Atcheson is an extra
good vaulter and is rapidly developing
into fine sprinter. Elmer Patchin Is
good on the high jump. The broad
jump divides honors with Mike Hupp
and Verne Holloway. Shot putting has
a large number of followers, chief
among which are Stanley Morewood,
John O'Day and Edward Grout.
The natives gasped in establishment
and the heavens very nearly cracked in
surprise at the astounding sight of some
little two by four High School students
using the hose on the High School
lawns last week.
Why who ever heard of such a
thing? Such plumb foolishness as wat
ering the lawn in March! What's this
world coming to anyhow?
All we have to say is. simply, Mr..
Doubling Thomas, just you keep your
eyes on the High School Terra Firma
and see if things don't begin to happen
before long.
In fact if a number of things don't
happen the agriculture class will be
sadly disappointed for they spent the j.,
greater part of last week g warm after
Moons working out of doors. Such a :,
lot of things as they did do! First there /,
were the grounds to be nicely cleaned +
and raked, and then an abundance of
grass seed to be sown, and wires to be !,
bent around the corners of the side. :
walks to prevent people from follow -.
ng their natural inclination to cut :
across. Furthermore as if that were
rot enough there was the High School G
garden to be planned, laid out, spaded :,
Ind planted :.
