Hays High School improvements.
fBY GERALD PENNEY

The beauty of the High School
grounds is much improved by the re-
moving of the old Fickety fence. A
short sidewalk was laid during the
summer which adds very much to the
general appearance. There has been
an all around repairing Of the play
ground apparatus.
The exterior of the bnilding has
been much improved by the removing
of the two small doors and replacing
them by one large double door. There
have also been some new windows put
in the front of the building. The new
cement steps and porch are a great i'm
pFovement to the old wooden ones.
The old stair case has been removed
and SONS very respectable stairs put
in its place. The grade rooms have
been changed around, The primary
grade has been moved to tbs large room
directly under the study hall. There
has been an office built for the superin-
tenoent.
The gymnasium which has for so long
been needed has been built. Although
it is not q very handsome appearing
structure, it well serves its purpose.
would like to say in conclusion that
as a whole the High School students
are not ashamed to bring visitors in to
the building for fear of ridicule. We
are very grateful to the board Of eduea-
ton and the community. The improve
ments in the Hays High School this
year are help to the school and stu
dents. High School Improved is an
Inducements 70 new students, and we
feel pretty safe in saying that the en-
roIIrn ent will be increased 80 per cent
+ in the next year.

Nieht and Stars

We are too much indoors. Even
when night comes we turn up the lamp
and sit within its excluding circle to
read what other indoor men have writ
ten, or we go out, hastily and under
cover of the street lights, to get with
in other walls where folks are gathered
to see or hear something of what
others have done on films and plays
and lectures. Or we sit on a shaded
porch with trees about, so that the
vast encircling night is only GOODNESS
and a breeze. The stars do not get
much chance at US. Thus we keep the
universe away from our souls Such
living makes for pettiness of spirit.

English Class of High School Tries It's
Hand at Reporting.

The teaching of English at the Hays
High School under the direction of Miss
Laura Dewitt Soper has taken unto it
self very practical attitude. 1t will
result in much good to the young peo-
pie who are studying English in her
classes. Through out the school year
the Hays Free Press will cooperate
with Miss Soper in publishing articles
written by her composition classes,
which have to do with many of the
town activities. In this way, Miss
Soper expects to correlate her work in
English with the life of the community
Last week she asked the sophomore
English class to write little article on
the new improvements of the school
building. The members of the class
who wrote the best articles are:
Mollie Madden, Gerald Penney, Iona
Goetchius, and Gilmore Wann.
Two of these stories are as follows:

improvements on School Property.
(BY MOLLIE MADDEN)

Before the improvements on the
high school were made, the school had
the appearance of a much used bull
ding in which no student took any
pride, but since the school has been re-
modelled the students are no longer
ashamed of their high school and now
they bring visitora in with pride.
Last year the building was surround
ed by an old ramshackle fence which
was torn down. Then the slide and
other playground apparatus were
greatly in need of repairing. These
were repaired and moved into new
positions, much to the enjoyment of
the children in the grades. New trees
were planted. The grounds were look
ing unkept but the children running
over them have worn the grass and
weeds down, so the grounds have a
neat and clean appearance.
The old wooden steps were removed
and replaced by new concrete steps
and a porch. The front of the school
house had formerly two single doors
opening on each side of the building.
These doors were taken out and the
stone front was replaced by double
glass door with large windows on each
side.
The primary room was moved IN or
der to give the little folks more room
and light. This room was furnished
with little chairs and tables in place
of desks.
There had been partition in the hall
with a stairway on either side. This
was torn down and fight Of broad
steps was built up to landing where
the steps separate into two less wide
flights which are built on each side.
The steps and hall are freshly paint
ed and this adds very much to the at
Effectiveness of the interior of the
building.
On the upper floor a new bell sys-
tenn has been installed and new office
for the superintendent has been built.
All of the principal improvements
nave beeu mentioned and so students
are very proud of our high school.
The students have shown their appre-
cation of the improvements made on
high school by widely advertising it.
The enrolment of the school is daily
increasing and in very short time the
/ high school will not be able to &C como
| date all of its students in the building
now occupied by them.

One Of the latest places TO suffer Is
beautiful Verona. This city Is especially
familiar and dear to Americans as the
scene of Romeo and Juliet" the most
immortal love drama in the English
language. Verona had. according TO last
reports. suffered more severely than any
other Italian city.
The Italians declare that Verona, at
present. is OF no military Importance and
that the attacks on it are inspired only
by n wanton desire to destroy its art
treasures. There is n beautiful old
building in the city known as "Julet's
Tomb" and this has been severely dam.
aged by bombs from aeroplanes. The
Italians suggest that the Austrans must
have a particularly vindictive feeling
against Juliet, whose character is evil
IDENTITY not approved by them.
The Austrian aviators have assaied
Verona over and over again. On No.

Austrian aeroplanos which dropped cX.

peared in the sky at 1880 on fine
Sunday evening The first or the many
bombs they threw was the only ono
which did serious damage. 1t penetrated
exactly the centre OF the roof on the
Church OF the ScalZi and exploded with
n terrific noise on the floor OF the build
ing. The fact that the explosion occurred
in tightly-closed building is believed to
have been largely responsible for the
enormous damage done. The upward
force OF the explosion destroyed the Gel
eorated ceiling Of Tiepolo. which was
iirst driven upward and then fell TO the
ground.
The correspondent states that tho
avlators flew away and returned to at.

bombs in the direction OF the Basilica OF

Royal Palace which faces it. Several
windows of the Doges' Palace were
