There is talk OF a picnic dinner for
the last day of school, and some
field sports, both of which sound
about right to us. OF course, we
could make graduating orations, if we
wanted to, and have a regular good
time, but we'd lots rather do this
other. Suppose it's just the nature
of the animal that makes this so.
Miss Mabel Moore is conducting
the eighth grade final examinations.
Two young ladies, friends of Miss

day We enjoyed their visit and hope
they enjoyed it as WELL
Our senior class exhibits signs OF
nervousness the last two days. There
is a reason.
The following pupils were' neither
late nor absent last month: Lila
Harden, Iowa Buchanan. Bernice
Kenyon, Emmett Harden, Albert Eske,
Earl Brown, Wilbur Beagle, Frank
Harden, Edgar Buchanan, Bernice
Kelts, Kee Buchanan, Ruth Eske,
Gladys Kenyon, Katie Buchanan and
Aletha Gray.
C. A. Brown is able to be back in
the field at work, but is not wholly
recovered from mis- recent illness.
If the Belleview school fails to get
a certificate as a standard school, it
is going to be on account of irregular
attendance. A few parents seem to
fail to realize the Importance of send
ing their children every day when it
is possible for them to come. We
know positively of cases of tardiness
and absences that could have been
avoided. We as teachers will take
our share of the blame, and say if we
were able to make the school of suf-
ficient interest, every child would be
here every day possible. OF course,
too, sickness and other unavoidable
causes have contributed to the delin-
quent list
Mrs. Buchanan visited school Fri
day afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Dennis visited |
at the home of A. D. Moore Wednes-
day evening.
Sailor Bailey and wife are the
proud parents of fine baby boy who
