Jesse Williams and Anna Common
were absent from school a part of
this week on account of sickness.
Matte league and Minnie Tilton
were absent from school Tuesday
forenoon. The girls attended the
funeral of Mrs. Fouts.
Those desiring to plan their Xmas
vacation may begin now School
closes December oath after four o.
clock p. N. and opens January 4th,
Monday morning.
Willis Spitsnaugle and Arthur Nor
Iell have arranged to stay in town
during the coolest weather while at
tending school. 1t will be more con-
venient for the boys.
An interesting program was given
al the close door meeting of the
literary Friday night Some of the
boys and girls have learned that by
helping they may be helped.
We all wondered why Claude A US
tin wore such large shoes this week.
Claude explained the whole situation
and from what we could learn it was
because he had a little sister.
Many of the farmers evidently de-
cided that the streets of Collyer were
not very inviting last Saturday. We
agree with them that the hreside
wasn't lacking in that respect.
Miss Hooper says she becomes very
tired when her days work comes TO
an end. We don't wonder, Emma,
when we think of you having to walk
two or three miles after o'clock
Jesse-I wish knew what Minnie
would like for Xmas present.
Ralph-Why don't you ask her?
Jesse = Oh. l haven't money E.
nough to buy anything so expensive.
fThe class in ancient history finish
ed a theme on alexander Tuesday.
Their themes give a detailed account
of the life of Alexander and his cam
paigns embracing his reign of the
Macedonian empire.
The girls in the Freshman class
think they deserve reward for their
efforts. How puzzling such thought
becomes sometimes. If they read
Emersons solution they will soon
discover what their reward will be.
1t takes a philosophical mind like
Kessler's to tell the impractibility of
one of those gas jugs that go thun-
dering down the road. But Freddie
league chuckles to himself, how nice
to have the big team of roans 10 trail
'em back to town.
Mrs. Downie, a former resident of
iC Wig fri nd rolo
tives in and about Collyer. Mrs.
Downie's present home is in Santa
Ana. Cali, and owing TO the long
space lying between here and there,
her visits are few.
The Tidings of Peace-Behold upon
the mountains the feet of Him that
bTingeth good tidings, that publish
eth peace! o Judah, keep thy SOL
emn feasts, perform thy vows: for
the wicked shall no more pass through
thee: he is utterly cut off-Nahum
!, Is.
The boys second team played the
Banner fellows a game of basket ball
at the Razak hall Saturday night.
The game closed with a dad-blasted
g-r-r-r.h on the lips of the Banner
team" SO we conclude that they
didn't carry away the spoils of de-
feat
The old saying goes that "history
repeats itself" Come on good sub
scriber, the Maid of Orleans led the
French to victory over the English
at Orleans. Can't We have another
Vigilant heroine step from the ranks
and bring the murderous European
slaughter to an end.
We are in receipt of the bi-month-
~ questions for the examination TO
be given at the end of this month.
The examination will be held on the
eighteenth. This will afford the
teachers ample time TO finish the
grading and make the necessary re-
ports before Xmas.

night. We jes got { give it TO 'em
