HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Senior Edltinr

high school Is the largest and we hope
II proves in marks, since there are
no sizars in II, to be the best of any
senior class that has hitherto cast a
beam in that celestial house OF
knowledge. It's present enrolment
amounts to thirty-six members. WITH
due precaut.On It has picked five OF
six of the best from last years sopho-
more class and enrolled them within
its scroll from the scriptorium. 1t
| has also added one from Pnyette
Theron Northrup, besides regaininG
two OF it's former members, the
Misses Ethel Ileslup aud Ruth Grit
| fin. one or two more may Btill come
In and help to further increase our
number but whc,Nnr or not any come
its gong to be rather doubtful whe-
ther the members of the school board
will sit with the graduating class on
that twenty by ten stage Commence
ment night or not with the pres
ent rate Of progress II looks as though
after all the older ones will have to
give way to the rising generation.
Among the noteworthy facts may
be noted that in almost of every
case this years seniors have picked
the subjects that will be the most
beneficial to them tcollege require
ment subjects, etc. instead OF pick
ing for the easier ones and gradual.
ing into life prepared to do only the
easy things or prepared to go TO col
lese to take only the easier courses.
And may we here compliment the
faculty that they have at last IN
stilled into these students minds one
OF the higher aims OF life.
Report Of the Sophomore Glass.
The sophomore class this year has
about thirty-three pupils. Just
enough To do big things" with
little effort we were the first to pay
our student body tax.
The night OF September thirt'eth,
we held our first class party at the
high school Everyone and the i'm.
portant factor. the eats, arrived safe.
ly and a jolly time was enjoyed by
all. A little excitement was also en-.
joyed by a certain junior. who. upon
entering the school house the second
time was well soaked and turned out
II might be added here that he did
not attempt TO return.
4 number OF other classmen. most
~ rocks, were about looking long
.ngly In at the good time We were
having and the tempting array OF re-
frCshments We cruelty took no pity
on their thin. starved looking forms,
however, and they had 20 return
home broken hearted and hungry
Some OF them. doubtlossly wishing
they could fly, received a gentle re-
mindor that we had some water han
dy. ~. hope the rocks learned that
lf plenty of water is used they can
get their faces clean once In a while
anyway
We have the good addition OF about
eleven new pupils to our class
We have determined this year to !
have q little more class spirit than
we have hitherto shown, So far. we
have a good start and hope TO accom-
plish wonders.
