HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

is to say. Good bye, good luck, God
bless you"
Miss Loftin has been head of the
English department of the school for
many years. and directly responsible
for the high standards attained, and
has won a place in the hearts Of
many students. Her place at the head
of this department will be taken next
year by Mrs. Schornherst. This fact
partly alleviates the sorrow at the de-
parture of Miss Loftin. Here's to Mrs.
Schornherst-may she be as success
full in managing the English depari :
ment and the High School activities
as was Miss Loftin.
Shorthand School.
Now that school is near an end many
of the students will wish to continue
the study of the subjects they are
especially interested in, so as not to
forget all they now know by the be-
ginning of next term Especially is
this true of the shorthand and French
students.
For the shorthand students, Miss
Waite announces that she will open
a shorthand school on May 81 for
those who wish to continue their
course. or any one who wish to begin
the course. The school will be held
at night and in the morning: morn
ing hours from to II. and night
hours as usual.
For the French students, Miss SUI
ter expects to have classes at her
be a very small fee required. and the
proceeds will be donated TO the Red
Cross. provided the plan carries
through. These two courses will pro-
vide an excellent means for the stu
dents to continue their study Of these
two important subjects.
Junior Chamber of Commerce.
The commercial classes, under Mr..
Tyler, have organized a Junior Cham
Der OF Commerce in the school. The
constitution has been made, officers
elected, and the organization is ready
for work for next year.
This organization is one OF the
most important in the school. 1t af-
fords practice for the students in de-
Gliding important matters. and other
work which a Chamber of Commerce
undertakes. and will be valuable to
the members in future life. Mr.. Tyler
is to be complimented for his fore
sightedness in organizing the club.
Mr.. Enlow of the science depart
ment of the school has already be-
gun 10 get busy with ahe money al
lowed the department by the school
board to purchase additional equip
ment. The list of apparatus is ready
and will be submitted to the board
very soon for approval. The appro-
priation was TO the department as
straw is to drowning man, for the
scientists in the school had hardly
any apparatus to experiment with,
this aporptionment will enable us to
obtain some much needed materials.

Now is the time for all good men
to come to the aid of the p. H. S.
students" The second edition of the
High School Review of Reviews"
otherwise known as the final exams,
will begin tomorrow, and all the
teachers have given us the promise
to make them as stiff as possible.
Miss Loftin, in particular, has prom
Used to give us a stiff exam, as a
sort of fond farewell" The Senior
exams were held last week, and they
have passed on the word to the other
students that the faculty has kept
its promise in regard to stiff exams.
Happy We who exempted be.
The examination lists were posted
Friday, and one could tell who were
exempt and who were not. by the
expressions on faces and lips. In this
case, there is an art TO tell the mind 3
construction by the face. The ex-
emption grade is s5 per cent. as in
the mid-term exams, which brought:
JOY to the students, as il had been
rumored that the grade had been
changed to 90 per cent.
Good Bye.
We announce with regret that Miss
Loftin will leave for Jacksonville
shortly after commencement She
decided. some time ago. to remain
here until commencement, and there
were hopes raised in our hearts that
she would remain with us. But she
is leaving soon, and all we can do

London, May ii-Army medical men
have made the discovery that city boys
have better ears than those from coun-
try districts. Only None recruit in five
from quiet neighborhoods has the keen
hearing possessed by the average city

of the country tends to weaken, through
disuse, the nerves of the ear. while the
din of the town keeps the nerves re-

We have heard Of this before. but the

II is altogether probable that Austria

A WREATH OF ALOES

A strike of 100000 skilled workers in
Coventry, Birming ham. Manchester. Lin
coin and Liverpool Is reported from
Great Britain. Dispatches from Coven-

there are virtually idle. owing To the
strike Of skilled workers in the munition
plants. Before the work for the day
can begin the machines must be set for
the women. AS: the men who do this
are on strike thousands Of women are
thrown out of employment. This is in
spite of the resolutions OF the unions
directing the members TO remain at work
until a ballot could be taken on the
question.
