Miss Mary Cosgrove, our efficient sew
enth grade teacher, is debating with
herself whittier she should go next year.
She has two offers equally good and is
awaiting a third.
The English II class started The
Vision of Sir Launfal" Monday. The
second grade finished the required work
a week ago and started a new supple
mentary reader Tuesday.
During the absence of Supt. Stautf and
Principal Halla, who were in attendance
at the conference and lnter-scholastic
meet at University last Thursday and
Friday, Miss Gertrude Swinburne had
charge of the schools.
The state examiners grades for the
January examinations arrived Monday
of this week. Many surprises were in
store for some of our pupils. Did you
see Agnes and Minnie leave the review
Caesar class? How fast the good news
travelled.
Last Friday the chief fire marshal of
the state visited the school building,
AS expected he had nothing but praise
for the condition of the building, the
cleanliness of the rooms, laboratories, ETC..
and for the splendid manner in which
the supply, engine and furnace rooms
are kept in our basement, All credit
must be redowned to Jas. DeBnrg.
Mr.. Stautf conferred with nine of the
university girls who wish locations to
teach next year, last week in the office Of
PIof. G. G. Schmidt, superintendent of
the Model high school. The feature of
the conference was the addresses given
by Supt. II. T.. Miller of the university
of Wisconsin Model high school. His
ennunciations which are only too true
would seem entirely too radical for staid
old Langdon.
Next week, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, the products, finished and
unfinished articles of our vocational de-
partments will be On daily exhibition in
the domestic art and music rooms and in
the gymnasium. This means that the
boys will exhibit manual training results
the girls sewing and cooking specimens
and the children specimens in drawing
and writing. Every parent should come
and every patron or friend of the school
is invited to come.
At the meet our boys were given their
preliminary training for future meets.
OF course John Robertson, who has
taken part in former lnter-scholastic
meets, did not need this. He was assur-
ed a first place IN the pole vault, but as
in the Fargo A. G. meet, he had this only
in partnership with two of his rivals. AS
a result the boys split the points each
taking three and one-third and Tipped
for the medals. Johns ill-fortune pur-
sued him here and he drew the bronze,
or third medal. Stanley Walker, Mar
Gus Smith and Alex Mclean have shown
that they can be developed to do good
work for Langdon high next year. Wal
ter Hunter and Ben Rendel were the
two others who participated in the
events for the local high. The only
regret on the trip was that Ross Opie,
who practiced so faithfully, could not go
along because of his sprained ankle.
Among the rooters who followed the
team we're these girls and boys: Dorothy
Price, Hortense Monroe, Genevieve
Johnston, Elyda Docksteader. Jessie
Milne, Marguerite Mahoney and Minnie
Finerty, and Hugh and Stewart Work,
Tom Hamilton, Herbert Schulke and
Alex Robertson. While at the contest
our team was found lodging at the
Columbia, these quarters having been
furnished by the U. n. d. athletic
association.
