The Thanksgiving Football gamo
had been arranged for between the AL
umnl and High School was called oil
/ on account of bad weather. We are
inclined to think that the Alumni were
not very anxious to run up against
the scrappy high school team.
:. The manual training shop has been
improved In several ways during the
past month. Mr.. Trebilcock and the
boys have built large panel on the
south wall On this panel have been
hung all Of the general tools which
are used in the shop. This makes a
fine display and is also very conven-
lent. Another important change was
made in the lumber room. In the past
iron pipes had been put into the walls
on each side Of the room and. ,lum-
Der laid on these pipes. AS there was
no support Of the projecting end Of
the pipes the walls had begun to cave
in. AKA uprights have now been placed
against each wall. and pipes which
extend clear across the room have
been fastened into these uprights in
such way as to make support for
the walls. Lumber is then laid on
top of these pipes. The motors con-
nected with the band saw and the
turning lathes have been taken apart
and thoroughly cleaned. -.
