and six little boys wendell their way

that about SO per ce1t OF our numDer
started in the High Point schools ana
have continued therein through their
whole school life. Three states are
renS.esented amongst US, Pennsyl-
vania. Ohio, and of course North Car
o1ina- We have one member from
Russia. However we want to say for
Mr.. Silver that he is certainly not a
Bolshevist, instead he is a most loyal
American.
There are just one or two facts In
connection with our grammar course
worthy of mention. These are the acts
of sitting on nothing md working but
toa4.holes. The former was accom-
pI1shedSby being in a sitting posture
without earthly support of any kind
T can assure you it was neither agree
able nor desirable when we were ex-
traordinari1y naughty and unruly.

very much affected by this act II
meant the giving up Of two OF our
teachers. Mr.. Horace Wright and Mr.
C.rl Gustafson. It meant also the
giving up Of our superintendent, MI
Weaver MARI. We lost several OF our
members last year who were IN the
draft. We are indeed proud OF our
heroes and wish they were with us.
Last year we began to assume an
Individual character. The delight OF
our lives is to be different. One or
our institutions is the county falr.

me. Last year the proceeds of our
fair went to giving the Seniors good
time. At least we hope we gave them
2 good time, we tried TO. We went
about this in an unusual manner. 1t
took the form of a garden party. we
paid our respects to the Seniors whom

amid the roses.
This wear the proceeds from our
fair went to. the library, our favorlte
professors favorite hobby. I speak OF
Mr.. Taylor. You will not blame us fol

issued at intervals from 10 to IA days
We feel that we have been helped BY

live editor? We want to thank Mi
TAYLOR, who urged us to undertake
this enterprise and who has been on
constant guide and companion in it.
