High School Notes

In this weeks issue will be
found the prize-winning ESSAY
from the Junior High School.
This contest was divided into two
sections, one for the high school
and one for the Junior high school.
The prize winners from the high
school were Apphia Miller, first;
Daisy Geiger, second; and Ruth
Henderson, third. From the jun
lor high school, Evelyn Carver,
first; Loretta Bauer, second, and
Dorothy Penrod, third.
A program will be given at the
high school Friday at 2::30 o. M.
when these essays will be read,
and the prizes donated by the
Bank of WinsIow warded. The
band will play, and other musical
numbers will be given. Patrons
of the school are cordially invited
to attend.

The Junior Red Cross allotment
for the boys section of Navajo
Apache counties was received last
week and consists of $50 folding
bedside tables. AS Winslow is
probably the only town in the two
counties fitted to do this work 1T
is a little more than the schools
are able to do. AS the tables
must be completed November
18th, Mr.. Glenn is asking assist
ance from the men of the town.
He will open the manual training
department Of the high school
every Wednesday for this work,
and be there himself to direct it.
1t is hoped that fifteen or twenty
men will be at the high school
next Wednesday evening at 7:3O.
The department is equipped with
modern machinery, and it is prob
able that this work once started
will grow in popularity until citi-
zens of Winsiow will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity tc
make themselves a desk, their
wives a dressing table or other
articles that they want, but dur
ing the war time cannot afford
to buy.
