in the High school assembly room.
Hon. Philo Hall will give a talk on
the School Laws" A cordial invita-
ton is extended to everybody and a
hearty cooperation is wished for by
the executive committee.
The Students Association of Brook
ings High school was organized last
Friday afternoon. 1t will be similar
to the former athletic association, but
the proceeds from the tickets will be
distributed among the various school
activities instead of being given to
athletics alone. These tickets will
soon be placed on sale. We want
every student in high school and
every booster for B. II. S. to buy one
and to attend everything to which it
admits him. The following officers
were elected for the year: President,
Everett Anderson; vice-president, VIM.
Morton; secretary, Robert Olson,
treasurer, Ruby Olson.
Thursday afternoon the three upper
classes organized and elected officers.
The freshmen class will not organize

A committee has already been appoint

The seniors opened the festivities OF
the year with a weiner roast at the
college grove last Friday night. The
evening was spent in playing Rum!
Sheep! Rum" and other outdoor
games. The chaperons were Mr.. and
Mrs. White, Miss Titmarsh, Miss Sla-
vata, Mr.. Wick and Mr.. Alvin.
The third week of school opened
with an increase in enrolment. The
high school enrolment is larger than
at the corresponding time last year.
The most urgent problem that con
fronts the school administration is the
question of room for various activities.
Efforts are being made to find a salts
facotry home for the Junior High
school. When this home is found,
there will be room to provide for some
of the very needy organizations, such
as physical education and folk songs.
With more available room the school
nurse will have a lecture room in
which she can meet all of the girls
in the school at various times. There
will be a room in which the examina-
lions of every child in the school can
be made. There are too many cases
poor eyesight. Every effort should be
made to fit children physically to re-
ceive the instruction that is furnished
by the staff.
The boys and girls are happy in
their anticipation of a convenient
place to be used as a gymnasium.
Football is of help to the older boys
in the high school, but the younger
boys need a suitable place in which
they can meet for tumbling, wrestling
and basket ball.
Too little recognition has been given
to the girls needs in physical educa-
ton. The nurse is to have regular
classes with all girls in the high
school and other students within her
reach.
Great appreciation is felt toward the
Commercial Club for the interest
shown for a better school home and
greater safety for the health of school
children
