SCHOOL HAPPENINGS

Inc hrSt grade deserves non
orable mention for the fact that
they had not one case Of tardi-
ness during the entire last

is credit to them as we'll as to
their parents.
The girls Of the seventh grade
have the honors for the attend
ance record for last month.
Their pcr cent was 100 The
boys lowered it to IS. Maybe
this has something to do with
the fact that the three blue cards
in that grade we're all received
by girls. Wake up, boys
Though we are very glad to
