The method has been to make prepa-

losses German commanders have pur-
posey avoided a simultaneous attack on

ed between the 18th and 9th grades;
which resulted in a decisive
victory for the seniors. The score
was IL to 6. The feature of the

odd contestants.
An appropriation was made
during the week by the town
council for the purpose of placing
drinking fountains on the school
grounds. The whole school extends
its gratitude to the public spirited
men who have in this way shown
their interese in the welfare of the
school.
On the Oath of November the

should attend as the school will be
