HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Senior iii.

semester began and a few new classes
were started. The senior class fin
ished history and economics and are
now taking civics and psychology in
stead. Senior arithmetic is also tax
ing the place Of senior grammar. To
the Juniors we willed our much used
economics and we are sorry we can
not donate them our high marks too,
for they will need them. The great
est change seen in the half's work,
however, is the "school-less Saturday."
No more will we need to come before
daylight Of a Saturday morn without
breakfast and sometimes without les
sons.
Owing to the fact that last week
was so filled with examinations that
there was no time for play, the senior
literary meeting will be postponed UNI
til Friday, April 18th, when the fol-
lowing program will be given:
Piano solo-Ada Mckenzie; Read
ing Gladys Trambley; Spelling match
Seventh grade; Oracle-Brita Bow
en-, Guy Culver and Helen Scott; De-
bate e-"Resolved that q policy of free
trade should be adapted by the U. S.
in place of the present protective tar
iff." Affirmative-Alice Berthiaume
Grace Eastgate, Negative Con-
die, Gertrude Scott.
Farce-"Look out for Hezikiah."
Enough money has been collected
to buy two or three new pictures for
the assembly room and the following
selections have been made. Junior III
people have selected two pictures of
$25.00 each "Spring' by Carat and
"The Windmill" by Ruysdall. Junior
II END Of Day" by Adair to cost $3.50

ily." The two literary societies are
planning on getting the picture "The
Lone Wolf" costing $500. All of
these pictures will be gotten from the
Board Art Galleries of Minneapolis.
The study of famous paintings lis to
be taken up in the grades this semes-
ter also.
You all know that Bottineau high
has good Girls Glee Club and fine
Boys Double Quartette and that both
have been working hard this winter,
but why? That is what we are going
to tell you now. The last week Of
April both organizations expect to go
to Minot and put on concert there
thus entering the district contest. The
week before we go we will give the
same concert here so that all the city
people will get a chance to hearsthe
songbirds and to Judge for themselves
how capable we are of appearing in
a larger town. It is hoped that we
will be able to go to Grand Forks in
May and take part with the other
Glee Clubs of the state and if the peo-
pie Of Bottineau will support us we
know we can do it.
Junior III.
Students in English I are taking
their turn at giving speeches these
days. Miss Daggatt says not to crit
icize them for looking at the floor
because she knows from experience
what comforting feeling it gives
you.
Margaret MacKay visited the class
es Friday and we were all glad to see
her. We hear that she made record
at Minneapolis, where she is now at
tending school, that our Freshman
class may well be proud Of.
Albert Woodward is now attending
school. ,.sss
