Around the Consolidated School

A new phase of school work, promis-
ing splendid results, has been intro
duced. Miss Hazel Witwer of Morris
has begun her work as music instructor
in the consolidated school. She comes
every Thursday on the morning train
and returns late in the evening on the
night train. During the day she gives
private instructions, and in the after
noon from recess to p. m. she instructs
the two glee clubs of the school. In
tn evening at 8 p. m. she directs the
newly formed community chorus, to
which older people and high school stu
dents belong. We understand that she
has about siXeen private music students
in both instrumental and vocal music
with more intending taking lessons in
either vocal or instrumental Miss
Witwer is a power with boys and girls
knowing how to get the best results
from all Of them. Her coming is al
ways pleasantly and helpfuIly antici-
pated at Alberta. She and her students
as we'll as the glee clubs and community
chorus will give musical recitals later
on in the season. The people of AL
berta are trying to execute big musical
program this year.
The attendance this year is the great
est in the history of the school. Like
wise, the precent of attendance is the
highest in the seven years of the ex-
istence Of the school, The school dis
trict is free of influenza. This is quite
remarkable, because it is bad all around
Alberta, with school attendance very
bad in all schools.
The Alberta High School will have
graduating class twice as large as any
former senior class. The seniors are
Helen Gausman, Irene Hamilton, Will
liam Ernst, Adrian Devereaux, Arnold
GinnOW and Glenn Prickett. The juniors
are William Brede, Odin Norby, Elmer
Siebrecht, Alice Koepke Ruby Schlatt-
man and Celia Loher. The sophomores,
Maude Prickett, Thelma Fou geron, Edna
Ernst Fred Schlattman and Harold
FOugerOn. The freshmen, Fred Henrik
sen, Dolphin Siebrecht, John Siebrecht,
Floyd FOugeron, Veneta Morehead Hilda
Kampmeier and Marjorie Davies. This
makes high school enrolment of "a,
the largest in the history of the high
school.
There is also a large eighth grade this
year, consisting of twelve members.
The high school room is hardly large
enough to hold all the students comfort
ably. Alberta is proud of the way in
which it's future citizens avail them
selves of their educational facilities.
Miss Willis, grammar teacher Of the
school, was suddenly called to the bed
side of her father, who had a relapse
from influenza. Miss Lois Hamilton, a
graduate of the Alberta high school, is
substituting for her in the sixth and
seventh grade work Miss Hamilton has
a vacation from her school for a few
weeks at present.
