HIGH SCHOOL WILL
CLOSE AFTER A
SUCCESSFUL TERM
Professor Young Will
Join Army Short Time
After Closing Of the
High School

The County High School closes this
week with the usual commencement
exercises. The work this year has
been done in a creditable manner.
There will be number of changes
both in faculty and program, Ger
man having been discontinued, either
Spanish or French will be substitut-
ed.
Mr.. Young, who has been principal
OF the High School for the past five
years, has been called to service in
the army. During his stay here, Mr..
Young has made number of practi-
cal changes and additions to the High
School course. In terpretative read
ing certificates of efficiency for
special work done along certain lines,
system for cataloging and checking
out the library book with librarian
IN charge at certain times each day,
credits for outside music. and short
courses have been offered at differ
ent times for the benefit of the COM
munlty. are few of the things that
Mr.. Young has done.
A great deal of credit is due Mr..
Young, because of his tireless efforts
to bring the school up to a high state
OF efficiency. Because he does not
talk ABOUT what he does or is go;na to
do, his work needs to be seen to be an
preclated. 1t is with deep regret to
his hosts of friends that he must leave
Julesburg to serve his country in any
other way than as a teacher.
Miss Louise Eismann, who has been
with US the past six years., has de
cided to take up other work
than teaching. Because Miss Eismann
has done excellent work in a num-
Der Of different lines, it is going to
be difficult matter to find some one
to fill her place.
Miss Rohweder is going to take up
Domestic Science, for which she has
specially prepared herself. Her work
in Science here has been thorough and
crcditable.
Miss Gallagher and Mrs. Reich have
been retained. Their efficient work
lnsures the same for next year.
