SCHOOL NOTES

Christmas vacation begins Friday
December % and opens Monday
January 8.
The school house has been nice and
warm these last two weeks even
though the temperature outside has
been way below zero.
The civics class has had several
features in connection with textbook
work. These features were a con
gress, a debate and two trials.
New music for the orchestra has
been sent for. Special efforts will be
made for this organization after
Christmas. It has an enrolment of
fifteen.
Posters for the operetta, Sylvia"
which is to be given Saturday evening,
January 13, are being made by the
students under the direction of Miss
Barrill. They are attractive and will
be placed in business places in town.
Watch for them.
A part Of the old school house fitted
up as gymnasium would enable the
giving of physical culture. Physical
culture is essential in the bringing up OF
boys and girls. None of this work is
given now. With a room for that pur.
pose. directed work could be given
the grade children from the fifth grade
on. All the high school students that
wished to take some sort of exercise
would be enabled to do so. The old
adage OF a sound mind in a sound
body could thus be realised. The cost
OF doing this work could be reduced
TO minimum on the average. High
school boys would be glad to assist
IN the work needed to accomplish
this.

On account of the many events
that took place the last week before
Christmas it was decided to have the
special Christmas Literary program
on Wednesday evening. The program
of readings and German songs was
enjoyed by those present. The read
ing of the sophomore journal published
by the English End class was as pop
ular as ever. To top of the evening
a Christmas tree with decorations and
candles was provided. After bags Of
candy were given out. motion to ad
journ was made and seconded. These
kind Of meetings tend to realise thu
school as social center.
