Juniors Rah, Rah! Seniors, Ha Ha
Everyone is looking forward to-
wards a good time at the athletic ban
quet Friday night.
Professor Dooly and family gave
an evenings entertainment in the
high school auditorium last Wednes'
day evening.
It is always wise to leave things III
their proper places, even small OBJ
stacle like a tuning-fork. It may get
people into trouble when out of its
place.
: Thursday and Friday OF this week
will be devoted to the Seniors eighth
month examinations which deter.
mines whether or not they are en-
titled to graduation.
Rev. Rice, one of the leading mem.
bers of the Methodist church in this
state spoke to the high school Thurs.
day morning. He related some of his
experiences of his recent European
trip.
Returns have just been received
from the State examinations given in
March. 219 certificates were receiv.
ed out of 221 papers sent in. The
number of certificates received is
nearly 38 per cent larger than at this
time last year. OF these 219 certi-
f1cates, 1T were marked pass plus -
Friday evening the Senior class
presented the play entitled, AT the
End of the Rainbow" The house was
crowded and all the players carried
their parts we'll. The receipts amount.
ed to $189 and after paying expenses
they cleared about $14O. A part OF
this money will be used for a class
memorial left to the high school. AT.
ter the play the Juniors entertained
the Seniors at midnight lunch in
the gymnasium. AS a result several
of the Junior girls scrubbed the First
Grade floor Monday evening.
The Value Of Chemistry.
The one great aim of our public
school is to equip our boys and girls
with the ability to understand and
work with the forces of nature.
Chemistry as high school subject
should enable boy or girl largely tc
understand and become master of his
environment
This environment consists of soils
water, food, mineral matter and plant
life, all of which minister to the we'll
being of the human race, when prop
erly understood and handled, but
when carelessly used may prove to be
the source of great i'll.
The chemistry student should b.
able to analyse soils for the purposl
of determining whether they contain
the proper kinds and amounts of plan
food; to analyse manufactured foo(
products for the purpose of detecting
adulterants, as for example, glucose
in place Of sugar, ground clam shell.
in place Of pepper, alum to keel
pickles hard and brittle, sodium bicar
Donate to keep milk from souring, o.
to prove the purity of any article.
Chemistry students should also bt
able to detect impurities in drinking
water and the milk supply, to know
whether sugar, bread, candy, canned
goods, soaps, spices and any othe
line of goods commonly used in ant
about the home are pure as advertls
ed and worth the amount Of none!
they cost.
When this is done and the subjec
is generally studied by high schoo
students money will be saved, healtl
will be conserved ano humanity will
not be at the mercy of dishonest man
ufacturers and dealers, and we will
no more hear of parties of girls cal
ing what they supposed to be straw
berry preserves and after becoming
sick finding out that they had eatel
apple sauce, ether, red ink, gras
seed and salylic acid, but no straw
berries.
