HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The enrolment of boys this year is
very unusual. Last year about twenty
five per cent Of the high school were
boys and now almost half or forty-f1ve
per cent are boys.
The Seniors had a class meeting Fri
day and elected officers as follows: Pres.
Harold Styles: vice president, Lars Ped
ersen; treasurer. Thorvald Hanson; Sec
retary, Evangeline Nygaard; class ad-
visor, Miss Doremus. A class advisor is
new in high school, being suggested
by Miss Jenness. This is a splendid
idea and will be of great benefit to the
classes. The plan is to have the ad-
visor a teacher, present at the class
meetings and consider questions which
come up before the class, giving their
advice in the matter. ..

Mr.. Foster spoke to the school Friday
afternoon about better attendance at the
foot ball games He hopes that the pu-
pills will turn out to the games and
show their loyalty: but if the school
children do this, they must have the
hearty cooperation of all loyal citizens

in the future.
