SPENCER SCHOOL NOTES
(Left over from last iSSue)

we, as a ScnOOl, are IuOuLIl!IiS ti1S
loss Of Harold Browand, whose un-
timely death was a shock to his many
friends. Harold was only eighr years
of age and in the second grace.
The accident which caused nus
, death occurred Thursday evening. lie
had Just taken couple of steps at
ter alighting from the school wagon
which had stopped before his home,
when an auto struck him, throwing
him several feet. He was unconscious
almost instantly. The doctor believed
that his skull was fractured. So they
took him in an ambulance to the
Elyria hospital, where they thought
that by operating they could relieve
the pressure on the brain and per-
haps save his life. But this was not
to be, for the doctors had barely be-
gun their work when the little life
went out. :
Harold will be missed by his school
mates, who as last token OF their
love for him and their sympathy for
his grieved parents, sent beautiful
spray of flowers to his home. Harold
loved flowers and if he could see
them, and we are not sure but what
he could, he must have enjoyed them.
He was boy that people couldn't
help liking for he was such a gentle
manly actlng little fellow. In play
one OF his favorite games was school,
in which he always chose for hlmselI
the part of superintendent or Mr..
Hartlnger, whom ne adored, and I'M
ltated perfectly.
Harold loved to sing and was a
sweet little singer, his favorlte song
being "Ihe Beautiful Isle of Some
where" which was sung at his fun
eral.
CLASS AND SCHOOL NOTES
Work is progressing very nicely in
our high school so far, according to
our superintendent, Mr.. Hartlnger.
We, as a student body, will endeavor
to continue our good work and hold
the high standard we have set for
ourselves.
Our county superintendent, Mr..
Pearce, visited our schools on Tues
day OF this week. He visited several
classes, among them the Physics
class.
The pupils Of the Physics class are
deeply interested in the experiments
they are having. At first some OF
the girls did not like it, but as time
passes, they become better acquaint-
ed with 1t, and so, like it better. Even
the teachers admit it is hard and
only by hard and continuous digging
will it be understood. If you don't
believe that, just try it and see.
The French students are SO for
tunate as to have one gentleman in
their class. Everyone knows who he
is. Uf course, it would not be safe to
enter into the mysteries OF French
without gentleman as an escort.
The hlgn school teachers have been
busy grading papers this week. No
need 10 question the reason why.
but Tor those who may not under
stand, we wish to say all classes
have received their examinations Tor
the first months work.
There are three llJtle red books In
the high school rooms and they seem
to be very popular, especially every
morning before school. If you don't
know tne names OF the books re-
1erred TO, we wish to say they are
GRADE books.
Inc juniors and Seniors have Sc
lccted as name tor their literary
society, "lhe Athenean," and the
name for their paper will be "The
Oracle" They VIII give their first
program Friday, Oct. 3. Everyone is
lnvlJed to attend this meeting, es-
peclally the parents.
At this time the writer has not
learned the names which the Fresh

children are doing.-Alice Hayes,
