MON SCHOOL NOTES

By the Senior class of 1928
the school was presented the stat
ue Minerva. the ancient Italian
Goddess. She was primarily the
Goddess of handicrafts, and her
temple was the center of the wor-
ship of the Roman Guilds. This
statue is about eight feet in
height and adds great splendor to
the room. By the senior class of
1874 was presented the statue of
DINA. the ancient Italian Goddess.
Besides this a Victrola was pre-
sented by the senior class of 1912
-i3.
When school was out in June,
it looked as if the class of 1915
was to be small in number. there
being only twenty-one in the
class. When school opened on
September 9Th, there were three
new members, namely. Donald
Mae Gregor. who came here from
the High School at Washta, Iowa
Aagth Fosmark. from the High
School at Wilmouth. S. Dak. and
Emily Rezac, from the High
School at David City. Neb. The
class now consists of nine boys,
and fifteen girls. who Immediate
ly decided to make themselves the
most illustriOus class in the his
tory of the High School. The SEN
iors are all sure that the rest of
the school will accept good advice
from the ones who were so sue
cessful in reaching the senior
year.
About thirty new students
have been added to our list of
High School students since the be-
ginning of the school year. OF
these. three have been added to
the senior class, one to the jun
iors. and record breaking addi-
tlOn of tWenty-siX freshmen. OF
the total thirty students, about
six or seven are new. the remain
der having come over from our
other city schools. AS whole the
new students WeSa received very
kindly. and given hearty well
come. Some of the boys were Civ
en- an additional welcome in the
rear of the school, and few 9TH
ers received a soap and water
shampoo. in the basement. AS the
school year advances. and the
number of school days grow less
we sincerely hope that all the new
students become interested in
; their surroundings, and helm to
rcise the schools class standings
: to the highest point attainable.
Athletes are more prosperous
this year than in previous years.
because there are a larger num-
ber of candidates trying to make
the team, and as result will
work harder and become better
athletes. Only two of the football
team of last year graduated. and
all of the others are back work
ing hard to keep their places.
Many new able athletes are also
fighting for a place thus making
interesting competition. With all
these things we are sure we can
put out successful athletic teams.
| The enrolment this fall was
found to be t0S pupils, and we
expect several in the near future.
! We are all happy to say that it is
! the largest enrolment the High
+, School has bOasted of for some
years. and we only hope that it
will increase so much that we viii.
have to look for another teacher.
We are all overioyed to find the
! old teachers back this year, with
the exception of Mr.. West. the
manual training teacher, whose
place we have a nice looking gen.
tleman. by the name of Mr.. Aust
ford. All are anxious to be i'm his
classes but we can't always do as
we wish. Miss Snyder looks the
same, only her eyes are brighter.
f! Miss Austin has brighter smile
for us. Miss Fenncl we know
means business by her stern
looks. Miss ClaNton wears her
hair differently. Miss Rochafellow
is more stern. Miss Fulton is very
pleasant but we know better than
! to get careless because she does
vt allow that i'm her school. Miss
/ Morden we are sorry to say. has
/! not been able to be with us more
i than a few days on account of
f; illness. Though we are all sad
/ dened by her illness. we are glad
/; to have Miss Quick with us. who
is taking Miss Morden's place.
We found the High School in
very good condition on our re-
turn. The assembly room has been
f; retinted. the tables in Miss Rock
afelIow's room have been revarn-
ished. and all the desks and chairs
have been scraped and vanished.
making them aDepar as new. The
floors are clean and fresh look
ing. and the whole building has
been fumigatcd. Everything is
ready for the pupils to plunge into
their work with all their new en-
ergy.
! 1t was a pleasure to see so
many visitors during our first
week of school. Come again. and
come often. and see what we are
doing. thus showing us that you
have not forgotten the school and
are interested in its progress.
