BY the kindness and permission of
the board, the seats in the assembly
room have all been changed to face
they west instead of the south. This
surely makes 1t more convenient and
comfortable both for the teachers
and students, as each student now,
with the exception of those seated
directly in the center of the room,
have an equal chance of seeing and
hearing the speaker at the front of
the room. The students were all re-
seated alphabetically again last
Thursday morning, according to class
rank, and it is hoped every one is
comfortably reated for the remainder
of the school term.
School was dismissed Wednesday
afternoon at the close of the seventh
period for all students not having
classes the eighth hour, so the sboys
could begin moving the seats in the
assembly room Immediately after the
seventh period.
The last number of the Lecture
Course given at the Christian Church
last Tuesday evening was we'll attend
ed. The entertainers were the Quar-
tet Singers, and were exceptionally
good. 1t is with regret that we an
nounce that this was the last number
of the Lecture Course this year, but
we are all looking forward to big
ger, better and stronger course next
year. The financial situation of the
high school treasury is so that sew
en- number lecture course will not on
ly consist of more numbers, but is
supposed to be much better course.
The course this year consisted of two
lectuYes, two entertainment numbers,
and two musicals; the course next
year will consist of two lectures by
Ny Poon Chew and George H. Brad
ford, reader Beryl Buckley and Nor
man Hill Entertainers, and two must
Gals by the Musical Plymouth Sing
ers and the Community Quartet. The
high school as a whole feels that the
course this year was very good and
all seemed very we'll satisfied with the
course, and we hope, every one who
purchased ticket this year feels they
received their just returns for their
money, and hope they will be on hand
and eager for a season ticket next
year.
The Psychology class has been en-
joying some interesting discussions
on habits, taking into consideration
bad habits, that we should strive to
break and good habits we should cul-
tivate
In the discussion of bad habits in
Dcxrn oh nj nj Ioc OF
ing statements were made: Mr..
Camblin: lola, tell us some of your
bad habits you would like to break"
Ola: "Well. I've been trying for a
long time to break myself of saying
ooh, Joy" to everything little hap
pening." Mr.. Camblin: "Well, if
never said anything worse than o joy,
I'd never worry" Ola eyes, but 1t
wouldn't be very. polite nor suitable
if you should happen to witness a
serious accident to exclaim % joy!' "
On account of the teachers having

The high school shot has disap-

has it would return it to the school
grounds in the near future. (The

Some one has said that the new ar
rangement of seats in the study hall
