SCHOOL NOTES.


A half day vacation has been prom
ised to the class in the high school
making perfect attendance record
during the period between Thanksgiv
ing and the Christmas holidays. Stu
dents have been watching the atten-
dance bulletin and tones of dismay are
heard as the hopes of some class are
shattered by the hardness or absence
of one of its members.
The reports for the third month give
further evidence that there is wide
range in the efforts put forth by the
different students and in the character
of the work being done. Parents
should examine carefully these reports
which are given out each month. If a
grade is marked in red ink it indicates
that the work in that subject is below
the minimum passing mark and is I'M
satisfactory.
The Annual Board which is made up
of one representative from each high
school grade and four members from
the faculty which will guide the des-
tiny of the Annual to be issued in the
the spring has selected the editorial

During the past week the various
grades have visited the public library
and given some exercises in connection
with the observation of Good Book
| Week.
| On Tuesday of last week school was
dismissed after the first period in the
afternoon on account of the cutting off
the water supply. Good use was made
of the opportunity to get in some ex-
ira rehearsals for the concert.
During the assembly period Friday
two very interesting talks were given.
Miss Wiegand gave very instructive
talk concerning the scope and the value
of the new Encyclopedia Americana
which has recently been added to our
books. Mr.. Schubert also gave an ex-
cellent short speech to arouse school
spirit and interest in athletics. AS a
result mass meeting was held at the
close of school at which songs and yells
were practiced with Roger Davies as
cheer leader.
Don't forget the basket ball game
at the gymnasium, when we meet the
Blanchardville team. This will be
another exciting game with the score
at the end in our favor 1--WE hope). We
are not discouraged because a team of
three years experience was too much
for the team which was playing its
first game last Friday night. With
plenty of school spirit and loyal sup
port from the townspeople behind the
team, Mineral Point will have chance
to see some excellent basket ball this
winter.
School closes one week from Friday,
Dec. 22nl, for two weeks vacation.
Miss Weidenfeller has resigned her
position as tea cher of Domestic Science
to take effect at Christmas time. Miss
Nellie Babcock has been appointed to
fill out the year.
The mystery of the perpetual smile
which Mr.. Deneen has been wearing
for some time has apparently been
solved.
Mr.. Rood announced last Friday that
certain business man, whose name
was withheld by request, had shown
his interest in the welfare and work of
the schools by offering twenty dollars
in prizes to the best work done in the
Manual Training and Domestic Science
departments. Mr.. Fred Vivian has
presented to the Chemistry department
same apparatus which will be valuable
in this work and Mr.. Gray has gener-
ously offered to present part of his
valuable collection of specimens to
start high school musem when suit
able room can be secured for this pur-
pose.
