HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(Sydney S. Kaye)
Teachers Convention
Thursday, March IS, the teachers of
the grades of this city and the high
school faculty went to St. Cloud, where
they attended the Central Minnesota
Educational convention. The one fact
that stands out in the eyes of the high
school students was that all Of the
teachers with the exception Of two
were able to get to the train and as
the convention was to begin in the
morning it was necessary for something
to be done by the two unlucky instruc-
tors. The only thing left to do was
very quickly done. One Of them spied
a freight in the yards and they pro-
ceeded to try the ''side door, Pullman
route. Of course they procured tickets
from the agent. They stopped at Sar-
tell to visit the paper mills of that
place and walked from there to St..
Cloud. They were well pleased with
the mill and said that it was an educa-
tion in itself to visit such a place.
Easter Vacation
Friday at 4:30 of this week the Eas-
day morning, April 6, at 9 O'Clock,
50 as to make it possible for the stu
dent and teachers who live in other
parts Of the country, to visit over Sun
day and return to Little Falls Monday.
In some towns the trains do not run
on Sunday and the present arrangement
has been provided. However school
will continue five days Of the week fol-
lowing vacation, including Saturday,
thus making up for the lost day.
Normal Department
Faye Schafer received telegram on
Tuesday morning requesting, that she
return home. No word has been receiv-
ed regarding the cause.
Mae Kunza taught at the Columbia
Monday and Tuesday of this week in
the absence of Miss Edna Harkens,
who was called home because Of the
death Of her father.
Nora Berg returned to school Mon
day after substituting for Miss Olsen
at the Hawthorne for two weeks.
After the Easter vacation the girls
Of the normal department are going to
substitute in some Of the country
schools for week. Each girl will have
one week Of actual experience in coun-
try school work.
With the Faculty
Mr.. Dobbyn left Wednesday morn
ing on trip through Minnesota. He
will select few teachers while he is
away.
When the high school students were
expected to drill the other day, for
some reason or other, Mr.. Smith did
not hear the gong and as result they
had no drill. When he was informed
Of that fact he was greatly surprised
and resolved that he would surely hear
the next fire gong. Wednesday morn
ing when the regular gong for class
dismissal rang, he ushered his students
out, for he was sure there had been
fire. He wondered why the other
students didn follow; but soon found
out. He was bound to have fire drill
either at the right time or else make
up for it. Mr.. Smith is very thought
full man.
Miss Hart gave a very interesting
talk Monday morning regarding the
convention at st. Cloud.
Miss Lycan is very busy these days
with the Girls Glee club, the Senior
play, and of course her school duties.
Mr.. Gustafson is teaching the farm
ers of Morrison county, as far as posi-
BILE method of farm accounting, which
certainly ought to be of great value to
them. He will be at Rice Lake Farm
ers' club on Saturday evening Of this
week.
Miss Hart's class in civics intend to
have mock trial very soon in the
high school auditorium. Every one is
welcome to attend at that time. The
date has not been definitely decided.
We give one long hearty sigh Of re-
week. We will try to forget the
weary hours Of study and battle for
week in the sunshine of Eastertide.
The New Rule Regarding Make Up
Work
The faculty have been so kind and
>considerate as to be moved by the
beautiful balmy spring weather and
have, a result, changed the hour of
makeup work to 8:15 a. m. instead of
4 o'clock. There is no doubt that the
majority Of students do not wish to
remain after O'Clock these days and
are therefore pleased to know that the
hour has been changed. Mr.. Zipoy said
that the hour set at 8:15 was to be
noted and that he did not want any
one to come at $3.50. or any other time.
The hours after school can then be
used for Glee club practice, baseball
practice, Senior play practice, orchestra
practice, track work and any other
thing that students may wish to do.
These are not compulsory rehearsals
and the student feels spirit of free
dom in any thing that they do after
4 o'clock. This IS not an experiment,
hoped that this viii prove as success
1nl a. it has been in other high schools
OF the state. This rule goes into ef-
