Last Thursday fire drill was held for
the first time since last fall. Regular
drills will now occur frequently in the
future.
Practice for the Senior class play will
be held regularity several times week,
starting next Monday. The play books
have come and all that now remains is
the selection of the characters and the
notice for practice. Harold Harris is
to coach the play and no doubt under
his supervision the play. will progress
rapidly and will be well staged in the
end. The play will be given in about
two and one half months and if it is
staged with success here the troupe will
probably venture to White Bird to dis
play their theatrical ability.
Quite a large number of boys have
been practicing running in the gym
this week. As soon as favorable wealth
er arrives, practice will he held outside.
The high school has a bright outlook
for track this year and with practice
it is believed the locals can win few
points at Moscow at the spring track
meet.
The third quarterly examinations will
be held Thursday and Friday of next
week. All those in high school who
have attained an average grade in any

final exams, with this exception that
the person shall not have been kept in
more than five times for misbehavior
during the last quarter
A number of boys wore dress suits

at the school house, the suits adding to
the refinement of the affair and also
afforded source of laughter for those
who did not wear them.
Saturday night the second year Ger
