which already has a list Of strong

attention TO this development, be-

CREDITS WANTED
FOR FARM WORK
High School Students Present
Petition Which Will be
Passed on by Board.

Two new petitions 10 the school
board were in evidence at the high
school on wednesday morning, one
petition requesting the board to per-
NIT the dismissal of school on June
) instead of June %. Up TO noon
on Wednesday morn than 400 stu
dents had signed this request, but
according TO authorities at the
school il is doubtful whether this
ruling will be passed by the board on
account of the high teachers being
hired on a 10 months contract, the
suppOsition being that the board
would be unwilling TO pay the teach
ers for the extra month or to break
the present contracts.
The other petition 10 the board
asked that all the students signing
the request would be allowed full
credit for the present semester's
work, providing the students secured
work on farms. This petition seemsd
to meet with much approval from
the school authorities. Prin. J. s.
MCGOWAN stating Wednesday that he
would do all in his power to aid the
students desiring to take up farm
work. The petition was started by
mem bers of the senior class, who
will be unable TO enlist for army
training, but desire to aid the gov
eminent as much as possible.
Patriotism was aroused at the
high school on Wednesday morning
when the weekly assembly was turn
ed over as a patriotic meeting. Miss
Effie Harmon, supervisor of music
in the city schools, accompanied by
the orchestra, led the high school
students in the singing of patriotic
songs and following this part of the
assembly program the remainder Of
the period was turned over to Prin.
J. s. MCGOWAN.
Prin. MCGOWAN talked TO the boy
students concerning the recent rul-
ing passed by the school board
giving senior class members full
credit for graduation if they de red
10 enlist. Mr.. MCGOWAN stated that
he thought the war would not last
long. but if the high school students
wanted to enlist he would do every
thing in his power to assist them.
One correction made by the princi-
pal in the ruling passed by the
board was to the effect that only
seniors would be affected by the
ruling in getting their credits for the
unfinished work.
