High School Notes

4HS EISSHHan mixer TOOK place
at the high school building Friday
evening of last week. The affair was
much enjoyed even by the victims
themselves. The clans began 70 gath
er at eight o'clock although one
freshman got his dates crossed and
assembled at the school house at six
o'clock. The first part OF the evening
was spent in putting the freshmen
boys through the tanning mill and in
braiding the freshmen girls hair a.
la pigtail. After this ceremony,
punch was served to keep the hungry
buttinskies from outside from con-
suming it. After eating, the school
adjourned to the assembly room and
number of stunts were put on. A
mOng other things and a thing that
was much recommended was a quar-
tet led by Harry Kirkman. The sex
tet composed of six boys was also a
feature. The quartet composed of
Mr.. Marple and three of the upper
class girls did fade-away as a song
that was top notcher. The fresh
man quartet did a stunt in so-eaIled
sinking assisted by another quartet
behind the curtain. After this pro
gram which was mostly impromptu
stunts of different nature were per
formed, among which was a contest
to see which Of the people selected
could blow up a rubber balloon to its
largest extent before it burst. The
prize for the contest went to A1thea
Sims Other stunts were also tried
out and the crowd adjourned at an
early hour in accordance with propri-
ETY. and good custom.
The typewriter equipment has been
increased to eight typewriters this
year although one typewriter has not
arrived from Salina. This enables
the department to accommodate for
ty peope in all. The department Is
full, preference being given to jun
iOrs and seniors but being made up of
sOphomores when none Of the upper
classmen have a vacant hour.
Miss McMindes, who is assistant
principal this year, Will have charge
of the absences and tardies. Her Office
hour will be from ~2~to a. m, at
which time patrons may consult her
about matters pertaining to absences.
Parents should see that their children
start to school in time to reach the
school house by ten minutes until
eight. The high school does not 90
by the time of the mill whistle but
gets the time from the Morrison store
each morning. This is the best that
can be done in the matter of correct
time as the Morrison store gets cor
rect time from the railroad each day
at IL O'Clock. If parents observe the
above precautions and start their chill
dren in time to reach the buildihg at
7:50, there viii be no trouble. Pupils
tardy are not allowed to enter the
building except in case of very cold
weather which does not seem to
threaten for a few days at least.
Scout meeting began Wednesday
evening and VIII be held each even
ing of the year.
The Offices of the high school have
been changed. Mr.. Shiyely now oc-
eupies the Office formerly occupied by
Mr. MARBLE and Mr.. MARBLE has Mr..
Shively's Office. The change is an ad-
vantage in every way.
