Senior Girls.
This was the sign which the pupils
of Racine Kenosha Joint County Train
ing School at Union Grove found fac
ing them when they came to school on
Tuesday morning, 1t was the SOS.
sent out by the girls of the Senior
Glass and they are patiently waiting
the results of their advertising. Incl
dentally it has been one of the most
interesting events happening at the
school this year, according to the re-
port sent in by Principal A. j. Smith,
the director of the school.
The fourth year of the teachers col
lege opened on the second Monday in
September in the new building, which
has been justly called the finest of its
kind in the state. There was an en-
'rollment of forty student teachers rep
resenting many different localities.
Twenty are from Kenosha county,
seventeen from Racine county, two
from Walworth county and one from
Milwaukee county. The faculty this
year. consists Of A. j. Smith, princi-
pal; Mis- Ferrebee, science and musical
instructor, and Miss Penoya, teacher
Of the Model Room.
Find Many Innovations.
The new building has brought new
regime at the school. First of all, the
gym has brought great interest in
athletics and courses in physical cul-
ture. From 100 to 1870 is a daily
period in the gymnasium with captain
ball and volley ball among the games
played. Training school students are
allowed the use of the shower baths
on Wednesdays and Fridays. 1t is
probable that school athletic teams
may be organized for interclass con-
tests during the year.
Another new wrinkle at the school
is that warm lunches are served to the
children in the Model School and stu
dents in the Training School who wish
to eat their luncheon at noon. The
students take turns in cooking and
serving and small sum is paid
by each of the members to meet the
expense for provisions.
In the class work of the school, each
of the Seniors has been assigned a class
in seat work in the model school which
will enable them to keep in touch with
the work done by the pupils every day.
Organize Literary Societies.
Recently meeting was held at the
school to organize two societies to vie
for honors in athletics, parliamentary
drill, news reporting, and other literary
activities. At this meeting the Del
phian Society and the Dixie Girls were
c~qanized with Miss Edith Haig and
ISIS Dorothy Taylor as the respective
presidents. The societies have kept the
members busy watching, looking and
listening lest they fail to see all that
is going on around them The score
for the plays and games at the present
time is 287 points for the Delphians
and 242 points for the Dixies.
The school has had several interest
ing visitors recently. David Anderson,
the author of ''The Blue Moon, was
present last week and gave some inter
esting and entertaining readings for the
school Miss Isabelle Swnatz, superin-
tendent of the Racine county schools,
and Miss Ethel Hawkins, the supervis-
ing teacher for that county, have also
been visitors at the joint school. The
general public is cordially invited to
visit the school and it is hoped that
many residents of Kenosha county
will be among the visitors there this
year.
One of the most enjoyable evenings
known in the history Of the school was
spent ON last Thursday when Principal
Smith was surprised at his home in
honor of his birthday. The evening was
very pleasantly spent at music and
games and at late hour the guests
departed wishing him many happy re-
turns of the day.
