The furniture for the Junior High
School is beginning to arrive. The part
that is here already looks good and We
are certain that there will be few
schools in this part of the state better
equipped when all the furniture is in
place.
Mr. Bert Swanson of the class of 1918
visited school last Wednesday.
Margaret Foster, who has been atten-
ding the Central High School in St.
Paul since February returned last week
to graduate with her class. Mr. and
Mrs. Foster were also present at the
commencement exercises. We were
very glad to have them with u.s. Mr..
Foster gave the high school a very good
talk Friday morning.
owing to some mistake made last
month in checking up the students the
enrolment of the school was placed a
little higher than it really is. The to-
tai enrolment for the year stands as
follows: First grade 1s1; second grade
131; third grade 1876; fourth grade l2S:
fifth grade III; six tn grade 10; seventh
PIT; total, 1889. Last year the total
enrolment was 1927 so that the increase
over last year is 112. We predict that
there will be in the neighborhood of
145O pupils in the school system next
year.
The following is a list of the students
who were given double promotion dur
ing the past year: Mary Vail Montell
Finstad, Roy Christensen, Hazel Hong,

man, Donald O'Neil Vernon Holmberg,

State Board examination papers were
sent in to st. Paul this week. Owing
to the difficulty which the State Depart
ment of Education has had to secure
properly qualified people to correct the
papers their return may be somewhat
delayed. The February, March and
May examinations will all reach US the
same time, probably about the first of
July.
