At a meeting of the Senior class
Monday, Dan Houck was elected
president of the class owing to the
resignation of the former president.
The flags were unfurled at the
school house Wednesday of this week
in honor of the campfire of the G. A.
X. in the evening of that day at the
court house.
Complying with both the thought
of going to Cleveland and to Dayton
Superintendent Zemer has arranged
the matter SO that some Of the teach
ers can 60 to Cleveland, which is con.
trary to the statement of week ago.
Mr.. Zemer does not as yet know who
will 60 but those who go will go with
his order or permission.
At the teachers meeting last Mon.
day, Supt. Zemer brought up the fol.
lowing question for discussion:
w 0aL Solk OO uOA0 " al lOuo0 a 6IcdC-
er appreciation for the work done in
the schools and to get the parent to
come and see the hard and wearing
work done by the teachers of our pub
lie schools?" To Supt. Zemer, it does
not seem hard matter to get the
attention of the citizens for school
parties or socials, but this is only one
and minor phase Of the school work
and does not actually represent the
work done throughout the school sys-
tenn by the teachers. Supt. Zemer
earnestly hopes that something can
be done soon to show the public just
what the regular grade and high
school teacher has to contend with
and what he or she is doing for the
children and high school pupils.
More visitation of the schools by the
parents is one of the means by which
stronger sympathy for the school
work could be obtained. Other means
were talked about but no others were
definitely settled upon.
The Mothers club of the Dubinsky
building ward met at the Dubinsky
building Wednesday evening, where
it was addressed by Supt. Zemer, af-
ter which the following officers were
elected:
President-Mrs. Taylor
Secretary-Mrs. Kirk.
Quite an interest has been aroused
in the industrial history of the high
school for advertising, which Is a
part of the study. Some very unique
and novel forms have been handed In,
the best of which are being preserved
by Mr. Sanders, the teacher.
| To the interested citizens of the
west end progress on the new build
ing for that part Of the city may
seem very slow but as hands are few
! it cannot grow much faster.
L
"Were you at the Senior party last
night?" is the question being asked
among the Seniors throughout the
city today. Seniors, IL you were moi
there, you missed the SWEETEST" time
OF your lives, for without doubt I
was the grandest affair of its kint
ever held in the high school. To take
up the decorations first, the hall'
were decorated with corn fodder
leaves were strewn on the floor, Will
around the hall at regular intervals
were the emblems of 'en-th'
jack-o'-lanterns giving just enough
light to give the whole scene weir'
expression and certainly awaken an!
untimely dreamer to the fact that i
was autumn. The Senior orchestr'
played while everyone was trying t.
