Seniors.


Very few of the scholars seemed in
clined to study we'll Tuesday because
they all had big times during vacation
to tell someone Of But their New Years
resolution is "Will try to do better here
after.
The Friday afternoon before vacation
was spent in a social function. Every
one enjoyed themselves. Two of the
high school pupil were invited down to
assist in the grade program. 1t was very
good and showed the result of careful
training.
Mr.. Hodge informed the members OF
the physics class Tuesday morning that
if they continued reciting two periods
morning and the long lessons, that prob
ably they would finish the text before
close OF the school year and thus have lit
somewhat easy when everyone is inclined
to have the spring fever.
There has been some new apparatus
ordered for the physics laboratory. What
kind of apparatus?
Juniors.
Some new reference books, also a few
books of harmless fiction have been or
dered for the library.
We note the new encyclopaedia case
which has just been installed. 1t should
be very serviceable, as member of the
manual training class has been working
on it for the past month or more.
The German classes are still in suspense
as to the grades received in the German
tests that were given almost two weeks
ago, but the paper will soon be returned
and end both suspense and hopes.
The English XII class experimental
Tuesday in an entirely new way, namely:
not having an assigned lesson, the teach
ers attempted to have each member ofthe
class tell story of any kind, but very
few responded to the call.
We were glad to see that practically all
the pupils returned to school Tuesday,
thus assuring us that the large Christmas
dinner that affected the mentality of so
many did no physical damage.
SOphOmOres.
The ancient history class is fully con-
WINGED that it is better to make New
Years resolutions and not keep them,
than not to make any at all.
The tenth grade English class is study
ing ''The Gold Bug"
One of the money searchers of the an
cient history class has found a new dime.
We are anxious to get them because it
is said they have something on them per-
tanning to ancient history.
Freshmen.
The sewing class will not further con-
tinue the making of Xmas gifts, but are
now beginning combination suits with
their regular work.
The English class is very much inter-
ested in the classic "Ivanhoe"
The general science class is now study
ing light and sound and find it to be
very interesting.
We have received few new tools for
the manual training department which
the class will be able to use to a good
advantage.
1t is somewhat of disappointment to
the Freshmen to have only one large star
as they had nine small ones and would
have obtained the tenth or another large
one had it not been that Hee4l Scott
was absent Friday afternoon, causing
them to lose the nine small ones. Her
absence was occasioned by illness, and
she was very i'll, in fact too i'll to stay at
home in bed. She had to RIM around
town working it of, maybe it was some
thing similar to walking typhoid.
The Friday before vacation we had sew
e al visitors. Among them were: Mr..
Devin, Mr.. D. w. Jones, Thomas Harri-
son and Miss Bessie Smith.
Grammar Grades.
Eighteen OF the twenty pupils belong
ing to seventh and eighth grades were
present Tuesday. Ellis Bundy and Den
lse Lawson were absent, one on account
OF sickness, the other had not returned
from his home in Spokane.
Much interest was manifested in school
Tuesday Notwithstanding the fact that
weeks vacation had just closed.
The eighth grade examination will be
given the 18th and 18th of January.
This is somewhat of a spur for the eighth
