Mr.. o. Winter visited the school
Tuesday.
The tennis doubles, which we're to
have been played last fall but were
put off because OF lack OF entries.
are to be played soon. Papers have
been posted in the dressing rooms for
the names of those who wish to COM
pete. Quite a number have already
signed up, and the doubles may be
looked for at almost any time now.
The art class made all the posters
for Carmen" There are quite a
number of them. and most Of them
are deserving OF a great deal Of
praise. The students have worked
hard on them. Many types Of the
Spanish cigarette girl are to be seen.
Also an ace Of spades is much in eyi-
dence.
Homer Payne and one Of the Fra
sier boys had a collision on their BIZ
cycles at the school building Friday,
and as a result Payne's front wheel
looks like an overgrown cigar. They
we're going around the corner Of the
gymnasium and could not see each
other coming. The students have a
habit Of riding around that corner as
If they were going for doctor.
Lieut.. swartzkopensky. Russian
exile, spoke before the assembly last
Thursday afternoon. He served for
a time in the Russian army. and be-
cause he refused to fire on helpless
men and women was sent to Siberia
on a life sentence. His speech was
somewhat broken, but he had some
thing to say and he said it. do not
think any OF the students we're look
ing at books during the lecture.
The opera Carmen" is at last to
be staged. Next Friday is the time
set for it. The high school gymnasi-
um is the place and s O'Clock sharp
is the hour. Both the cast and the
choruses are working night and day
and it is finishing off finely. Miss
Harris, who is directing it, has her
hands full, but is managing every
thing as well as could be asked for.
Miss Moffat is helping with the
dances. The high school orchestra
and trio are to pay before the opera
and during the intermissions.
The work for the Rogue" is all in
now and work will be begun on the
actual making up of the publication.
The annual is to be in different
form than it has ever been before.
II is to open at the top like an ordi-
nary writing tablet instead OF at the
side like the old book-like ones.
There will be no advertisements in
it. which will give more space and
will make the publication easier.
Taking everything together, it seems
that it will be a grand success.
The Bon Ton Ten INDUCED in an
other feed Friday noon. As it was
st. Patrick's day everything that was
not green was Irish. The menu was
as follows: Mulligan stew, mashed

jello, green tea, gren cream, green
cake, green all-day suckers, and green
place cards. | will not say whether
this is the correct order or not, but
this is the way it was given to me.
Everyone seems to have had a good
time and | have not heard anyone
say they did not. The all-day suck
ers we're much in evidence all after
noon. Misses Anna B. Harris and
Corrine Sweet we're guests.
Eight boys have already turned out
for track. More are wanted. No
coach ever got more material than
he wanted, so everyone who can and
some who think they can not should
turn out. 1t does not matter whether
you think you can do anything or not.
Come out and try. More than one has
been surprised at himself when he
made a team. Those who have al
ready signed up for track work are
Leith Abbott. Ward Hammond, Dome
Low, Howard Loud. Albert Bryant,
Burton Whine, Raymond Long, FL
wood Hedberg, Reed Harrell. Brig

last three have not been out to prac-
tice yet. but are scheduled to appear
The biology class has been expert
