8 O'Clock and dismissing at 1:15 is
satisfactory to both teachers and pu-

is that the work is done in the cool
and refreshing part of the day. Also
that pupils do not have the trip home
and back again, during the noon
hour. The same program and num-
bers of hours are kept as before.
The law is fulfilled by which we are
required to teach five hours.
On Thursday night, April 20. a
cantata will be given in the audito'
rum, by the Glee Club, under the di-
rection of Miss O'Brien. Circulars
and posters will appear later.
Nine pupils of the high school de-
partment will go to Baton Rouge on
Thursday, April 80, to take part in
contests at the State Rally.
