On Wednesday of last week the do
nestle science girls made trip to the
meat market where they were given a

supporters of both teams.

After some delay in the printing of
the Report Booklets, they were distri-
buted last week. They contained the
records of the students for the first
two months. Before giving them out,
Mr.. Rood gave some very interesting
and rather startling summaries which
were compiled from the records of the
first eight weeks. That there is good
reason for the efforts being made to
raise the standard of work in the high
school can be seen from the fact that
90 of the grades were below the 1854
passing mark About one-thrd Of the
grades We're 90qo and above. The
Freshman class made the best showing
for the fine covered by the reports,
with l37grades above 90q6 and about
Is below 1875. With the exception of
four pupils who have been tardy to-
tai Of fifteen times there have been
but four cases of hardness in the class
in two months.
The attendance and punctuality re-
cords have been very good considering
the fact that many of the students |
come from the country and that there
has been considerable sickness. The
hardness averaged little over one |
case per day, few people making the
largest number of cases. as is gener-
ally the case.
The ranks of honor and of high honor
students have been created. The max |
ing of 90% or more in four subjects
(including deportmen) entities ore to
the rank Of honor If 90% or more is
made in five subjects Including deport-
ment) one attains the rank Of high |
honor. Ranks were attained by the !
