other quite important games that
were played this week were a game
between the seventh and sixth grade
girls, the score being 10 to 4 in favor
of the seventh grade, and another
between the seventh and eighth
grade and the sixth grade boys. The

games are as full of pep and real
team work as those played by the
senior teams, we are told by the ha-

We were favored with a visit from
Supt. Wilson from Topeka, Kan,
Thursday. He is on the state survey
commission.
An opening class for first grade
pupils will be started March Is. No
children under 5 years of age will be
taken.
! Thursday was another day for par
ties in different grades. The outgo-
ing teachers of the fifth and sixth
grades gave one for their children.
The teachers of the third grade were
obliged to give one for their children
as the arithmetic contests by the
Washington and Lincoln clubs closed
with a tie-neither club winning over
the other. In the fourth grade the
Hustlers were obliged to give a party
to the Rustlers, as the latter team
scored the highest in the arithmetic
contests they have been having.
One of our seniors was placed
Thursday in a very fine position in
the eighth grade of the Topeka, Kan,
] schools. Miss Leora Laughlin was
the fortunate young lady to secure
the place. The position is a very de-
sirable one from several s~tandpoints.
Miss Laughlin Is the first senior to
accept a position.
