Circle High School Notes

Just a word Of explanation with regar
to the Junior Red Cross. The Chairma
at Glendive informs us that the twenty
five cent dues which were paid by th
pupils here last year, paid for memhershi
during the school year of 1917-18; at thi
time the dues for the year 1888 ar
due. The children sometimes forget thes
things, SO we are asking the parents t
see that the dues are paid promptly.
On account Of scarcity of materials W
are unable to keep busy with the Re,
Cross work; all the work, which has BEEF
given us, is some booklet making. W.
have found out that we can do effectiv,
through the American Committee fo
Devastated France;this committee is nov
asking for patch work quilts. 1t is the
purpose of the School Auxiliary to worl
for this committee only when we have nc
Red Cross work to do. We are asking
that all the women of the community
look over their scrap bags send us all
pieces, either cotton or wool, which are
suitable for quilt pieces.
There has been some talk with regard
to closing the schools on account of the
Spanish Influenza; we are yet of the opin-
ion that the school is the safest place for
your children, for we have noticed that
some of the parents are letting their
children visit at other homes, and we be-
ieve that the visiting would become more
prevalent if the school were dismissed.
1t would be waste of not only money
but time, as we would have to hold school
that much later in the spring when the
children are needed to help at home.
Our record for punctuality is improving,
we can see some reasons for child from
the country to be tardy once in a great
while, but we fail to see any excuse for
child who is living in town.
The fifth grade language class is writ
a play, if it turns out well we will give it
in our Christmas program.
The program given by the Literary
Society last Friday was very good, al
hough not nearly up to the standard of
what we hope to give before the end of
he year. We are not making the work
lard because the upper grades are all be-
ind in Arithmetic, the seventh and eighth |
rades being one year behind, which |
1eans the eighth grade will have to do
wo years work in that subject this year
D finish the work and enter the High |
chool next year.
The Government and the State Univer-
ty are cooperating with each other to
i've all enlisted men an opportunity to
btaill training in the University free of
barge. This opportunity is open to all
len between the ages of eighteen and
,rty-five inclusive. The men are housed
/ environments near the University given
1eir Military Training, and this added
dvantage of improving themselves along
ny line which they wish to take up.
.nyone interested, may inquire of Mrs.
douglas, and she will give them pamphlets
hich explain all the details.
Another eighth grade poem.
AFTER THE WAR is OVER
light after fight, day after day,
Fighting continuous struggle,
he Yanks are going over the top,
Till at last the foe be conquered.
S Foch tells General Pershing,
The Boys hear that joyous sound.
The Germans we have captured,
And now we're homeward bound"
aiting, waiting with watchful eye
By the gate stands faithful Rover,
see his master come marching home,
After the war is over.
any other hearts are waiting, Ii
Watching for son or brother, I
neither or not in the weary line, S
They'll see him and rejoice together. |
