HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Hull UulIUUl VUIlU
Last Friday afternoon a number
of Junior and Senior boys decided
that the weather was more suitable
for outdoor activities than for school
work. Accordingly they adjourned
school and made a little visit to the
Base Ball diamond on the Heights
where they INDUCED in game OF
ball.
1t is needless to say that they en-
joyed their game. Like the Ihrodigal
son they returned but the school
authorities did not receive them like
the forgiving father did his son, but
were rather inclined to impose few
restrictions ON their future move
ments. The boys evidently did not
relish such restrictions and have pro-
longed their vacation until some fu-
ture date
Not only did the spring fever affect
the boys, but two of the Junior girls
were smitten by the same ailment.
Although having studied botany
when in the Freshman class they
still have a great interest in the
study of nature, for they made a hit
tie trip to the foothills, accompanied
by a couple of boys. AS proof of
their industry, they brought back
several specimens of flowers and
wood-ticks
The girls returned to school Tues
day very penitent and are now put
ting their time before and after
school making up for the time they
lost.
Prof. Karl Mann, Director of the
Manual Training Department of the
Caldwell schools, lectured before the
High School Friday evening.
His lecture was ON the subject of
lumber, covering its growth and
manufacture. His lecture was illus
trated with lantern slides, loaned by
the Government for such purposes.
Prof. Mann has had a great deal
of experience along this line having
been connected with the Forestry
Department. His address WAS very
ably given, covering the various US
es Of various woods ard was of es-
pecial interest to the Manual Train
ing Glasses.
The Sophomore boys met ON Mon
day night and elected a captain for
class base ball team. A challenge
was issued to the Juniors and the
captains of the two teams will ar
range for class base ball in the near
future.
Sara Heller who has been quite
i'll with typhoid fever for some time
is reported to be improving rapidly.
The Sophomores seem to be the
CITY class in school who are socially
Inclined. They had another party on
Saturday night, commonly Known as
Progressive party. The evening |
was spent in games, songs, and sot-
ries. An enjoyable time was enjoyed
by all.
On Tuesday Prof. Tweedy gathered |
together number of rakes and
enough of the grade pupils to pro-
pei the same, and i'm couple of
hours the school yard took a very
different aspect. They naked all old |
leaves and sticks up and piled them
in neat piles. 1t certainly helps tho
locks OF the lawn. "A good cure for
spring fever which seems to have I
most of the students jun it's grip.
Hon. A. B. Moss has been connect
ed with the Payette Public Schools
almost from their beginning, has al
ways been a tireless worker in be-
half of the educational interests of
the community and President of the
Board of Education for fifteen years.
Perhaps no other man in Payette
has given so many years of active
service in behalf of OUR schools.
Be it Resolved: Because of his
great interest in the schools and as
a mark of respect and esteem, it
seems fitting and it DIS SO ordered
that the schools shall be closed dur
ng the afternoon of the funeral and
That the flags shall fly at half mast {
over the school buildings during the
,ntire day.
