 The Yuma high school has enjoyed an unusually pleasant and profitable term of school and is sending out into the world class of eleven en- ergetic and willing workers. Their work this year has embraced many new branches of study and has en- compassed new fields of labor and research. Agricultural classes have been started and have made many pleasant trips and excursions, bent upon obtaining all of the knowledge which might be held in store fol them.
 The incentive which the new high Sshool building has aroused, has been one of endeavor, and all look back over the years work wthN feeling of time we'll spent.
 The faculty now includes SIX teach CTS, which is much appreciated num- Der in a school of it's size. The Yuma high school is at large a very enter prisfng, up to date and modern insti- tuition of learning, and ranks among
 
 the first in the state. It has been accredited at the state university since it's earliest existence, and the graduating classes are always strong and ready to battle for themselves. The importance of taking part in the worlds work, as we'll as striving for a higher education, is kept con. tinuously beaore the minds of the students. Addresses and lectures from eminent people take great part in the school Sand student life and are earnestly solisited and very greatly appreciated by the principal in charge.
 During the past year, Yuma has been exceedingly fortunate in the list of prominent visitors, and all have expressed great interest in the high school.
 As a student body organization they are especially strong, and student body association is now active in it's various enterprises. Semi-monthly en- | tertainments have been given during the entire year. The custom has be- come an established, as well as very enjoyable one, each class entertaining in turn.
 Among other things, athletics have had their share of attention, as was proven by the very successful foot ball season which was enjoyed last year, when the Yuma high school team extinguished themselves at the State Fair. Basket ball, tennis and track have been ably represented in student life, and at present very novel innovation is under way, Un, der the diret tion of Professor Van Hoose, the surplus energy of the boys | is being conserved in military or ganization which is the only one of it's kind in any high school in the state. Guns will be furnished the youthful recruits from the state armory, which were volunteered by Colonel Brown as a result of an article published in the Yuma Daily Examiner regarding l the new organization several weeks ago. Every boy in high school is zen listed" and the organization will very shortly become a very profitable and permanent one. Military drill will, no doubt become a part of the curricu- lum in the school before many years: and, as this is now being strongly advocated in the burning movement ot uplifting the race, Yuma will as usu- al be among the progressives.
 The class which graduates is sec ond in number to but one previous class, that of 1910, of which there were twelve, and an increase of over forty pupils is expected from the vari- oua prammar grades this year Eff
