INTERESTING ITEMS PERTAIN
ING TO WORK IN LOCAL
HIGH SCHOOL.

division Of the society last Friday Yves
one of the most interesting programs
Of the year. Chester Tanner, the pres
ident, conducted the meeting in an
rderly and dignifed manner. All OF
the numbers OF the program were
good, but the interesting feature was
talk on the Experiences of Sair
kr,' by Walter Lindquist. Mr.. Lind
quist enrolled in our school last fall
nd, as he stated himself, several OF
the students wondered who he was
end where he had come from. The
chairman Of the program committee
was fortunate in having talk with
him and found that he had led the
life Of sailor for two or three year,:
and as result, the talk on the life
and experiences of a sailor was ar
ranged for the literary program. An
other one Of exceptional interest and
which was appreciated by all, was the
selection On the violin by Miss Anna
Rassier. Miss Rassier was accompan-
led by Madeline Simonet, who per-
formed her part as accompanist in
most skillful manner. The impromptu
en- Spring was given by Esther Sund-
strom, vice president Of the society.
A number Of students were chosen and
notified regarding the impromptu.
Their names were placed in a hat and
Miss Sundstrom 9 name was drawn.
The response was given in the form
Of poem, composed by her and which
would fit any subject given. The boys
glee club gave selection as the clos
ing number on the program.

Orchestra ..
The orchestra has had deficiency
in the treasury for some time and sew
eral plans have been tried, to get
money to carry them through the year.
Monday morning a general assembly
was called, at which time plans for
raising $50 were discussed. Among
some Of the plans suggested were,
supper, supper and dance, high school
circus, and direct tax Of 25 cents
to be placed on each member of the
high school. The student body voted
upon the four propositions and the
latter named plan was accepted as the
quickest, surest and most legitimate
plan to accept. Cards were passed
around on which 237 names were
placed. This was done in order to
avoid any trouble in collecting. The
cards were alphabetically arranged
and as the students paid, their cards
were withdrawn from the file as a re-
ceipt. But in return for this favor,
Mr.. Dobbyn said that a dance and
party might be held in the gymnasium
next Friday, as a reward for the
unanimous help and interest Of the
students in regard to the fund. There
will be plenty of fun for everybody
Of the hi gh school and all are request
to attend. Those who were not able
to pay the sum Of 25 cents will receive
just as much attention as those who
did, as they were ready to help, if pos
sible for them to do so.
The dance in the "gym' last Sat-
urday evening was not as successful
financially as other dances; but as a
result Of more successful dance be-
hore Lent, there was balance left
tver which was applied to the cost Of
le orchestra at this dance. Those who
took part Saturday enjoyed them
selves immensely.
The speakers that we have had in
the past week we're Mr.. Parsons,
friend of the homeless and friendless,
who spoke on Tuesday morning. His
theme was regarding Fidelity and was
heartily enjoyed by everyone. Mr..
so, and is always appreciated very
much.
Prof. Chapman of the Extension di-
vision Of the "U' of Minnesota spoke
to us on the three rs of life, namely:
Industry and Integrity,
and the greatest of these three, he
Sa1u, ID IHteSIICS. MI. CHdpHldu Is d
very able speaker and commands the
attention of all who have the oppor-
tunity Of hearing him. This is the
first time he has visited us, but we
earnestly request that he visit us more
often and to give us another talk. A
few suggestions given by Mr.. Chap
man were that it's costs cents every
time student recites and $15,OO0,OOO
a year for school work in Minnesota.
The question he asked was, care the
students worth it?' But in the next
breath answered the question by say
ing, eyes, because we are teaching
them to behave when they get into
civil liie.''
He closed his talk by inviting the
seniors to the Agricultural department
OF Minnesota, as he said that there
were plenty of doctors, lawyers, den
lists, etc., in the country at present
and that we needed up-to-date 1armrs.
