SCIENCE SCHOOL NOTES

Glass work was resumed Tues
day morning Jan. 4th. The class
attendance was nearly perfect and
the work started off with unusual
vigor and interest. The enroll
ment was increased by about
twenty five new students. This
new addition to the student body
will create greater interest and
enthusiasm for work and activity
among the students as body.
The work of the literary society
will be pushed and some interest
ing meetings may be expected.
The Young Womens' Christian
Association will continue its work
with renewed interest.
There are but two girls among
the twenty five new students. 1t
would seem from this that thu,
young ladies of the state are slo v
er to realize their opportunities
than are the young gentlemen.
The first real basket ball game
of the season will be played Jan.
II, 1916 at the Science School
