Break with Lapwai
and Lewiston.

This is examination week at the
nigh school and the students are TAX
ing their mid-year finals with real
work. In former year only quarter
ly examinations were held and thus
the innovation of mid-year finals is
taken with more than ordinary SER
iousness by the students.
Those students who received in their
daily work an average Of more than
80 per cent and who were not absent
more than 2 1-2 days were excused
from examinations. One case Of tardi-
ness counts as 10 days absence in
the calculation. Six girls were excus-
ed from examinations. They were

Sophie Coyne. sophomore 93 IL pct.
Mary Neis, sophomore, % per cent.
Rachel Baker. Freshman 81 2-3 pct
Jessie Kecler, junior, 81 per cent
Margaret Kerlee, junior, 81 per cent.

ed honor grades but their record of
attendance was not sufficiently good
to allow them to be excused from ex-
aminations:
Fred Day. freshman, % 3-5 per cent,
Naomi Manrine junior 81 SO per cent.
Ruby Smith. senior 81 IA per cent
Practical Work i'm Manual Training.
The boys of the high school Manual
Training classes are doing some very
practical work. They are laying q
floor in the sewing room of the Domes-
tic Science department. The floor in

ot concrete. During the greater part
Of the year the floor makes the room
entirely too cold. To amend this fault
the boys Of the two upper classes are
getting some valuable experience in
carpenter work under the supervision
Of the instructor, f. G. Ascher.
The boys i'm the classes in Manual
/ Training have made several things in
