NEWSY NOTES
REGARDING LYON
COUNTY HIGH.

Since the opening of the Lyon
County High School on August 81
there has been every indication for a
successful year
The enrolment at the present time
has come up to a total of fifty-five.
The Freshmen are certainly leading
class as far as quantity is concerned.
They have held several meetings or
ganizing and electing the following
officers: Fred Strosnider, President;
John Ross, Vice President; Evalyn
Dexheimer, Secretary; Joe Borge,
Treasurer. The Sophomores have
also elected the following officers:
President, Alta Snyder; Vice Presi-
dent, Ethel Welsh; Secretary, Eliza
beth Barr; Treasurer, Lillian Murphy.
They are an industrious, enthusiastic
class in every way, and have turned
the English room into cosy little
den, adorning one wall with their class
pennant But it seems they have trou
bic in retaining it, the Freshies and
Juniors enjoying making them i'll at
ease by hiding it. But look out, Fresh
les, you'll lose your lamb! Else why
so many noon hour meetings, Sophs?
The enrolment for the typewriting
class is so large this year as to necessi-
tate ordering a new typewriter for
our commercial room. The laboratory
is scene factivity at all hours as
there are fifty students enrolled in
science. The physics class is especi
ally large and they have every ad-
vantage for laboratory work as a great
deal of new apparatus for experiment
ing and demonstrating has been add
ed. The biology class should also
succeed as Mr. Ricksecker has been
hunting grasshoppers for some time.
The old library room has been a
scene of great industry for the past
week New curtains new desks, ETC.,
and all over the new normal depart
ment, which has been established.
Miss Koontz, formerly normal in
structor in Eureka, is teaching. The
| SluucHlS dIG NCly dilu tiC
new department promises success.
Miss Howe has large English
classes this year and hopes to make
short story writers or star reporters
of us all Her history classes feel per-
sonally acquainted with such charac-
ters as Mohammed, Charlemagne and
Pope Leo.
Miss Howe has been faithfully cat
aloging our new library books. We
have four new sets making ninety
separate volumes.
Mr.. Kline, our new teacher, has a
number of ambitious pupils in his va
rious classes, who wish him very
happy year in our little town.
With the closing of school Mr..
Waggoner hopes to send number of
expert bookkeepers into the world, as
well as several reporters. He is one
of the most enthusiastic principals
we have ever had, nothing being too
trivial to warrant his attention. He
begins school each morning with
some pleasant, encouraging remarks,
and we go to our classes in happy
mood When he distributed the first
cards this week, there were some long
faces as we'll as some very happy
ones.
AT last "Old Glory" is floating over
the high school 1t is the first time
that this has been possible because
of the extreme shortness of the flag
pole in the past.
The pupils are receiving new advan-
tages every day A class in telegraphy
is soon to be begun under the instruc
ton of Mr.. R. H. Martin, Mr.. Boulter
and Mr.. Waggoner.
There are very few Seniors this
year, but they hope to make up in
quality what they lack in quantity
by following the instructions of the
last Senior Class to dig"
Since the completion of these notes
we are glad to report that the Sophs.
have recovered their pennant. 1t was
seen flying from the flag pole this
morning and not at "half-mast"
