AT a recent meeting Of the school
council it was voted to abolish the fly
ing of class banners on the school prop
erty and throughout the town. This

participants which usually attend the
placing of these flags. Ii was further
more voted that if students violate
this rule, the school would not be res
ponsible for any damage done.
Mr.. Trinder of the State Board of
Education visited the High school re-

by the pupils may study at the High
school morning and take a course at
the Trade School in the afternoon.
