Paris High School reopened Monday
January 26, after the two weeks' inter
tuption caused by the prevalence Of scar
let fever.
Nearly the standard number of stu

enforced vacation at Turner Center.
Miss Hazel Lane returned Saturday
from her home at Rockport.

Hill have entered P. q. 8. as members OF
the Freshman class. They formerly at.
tended school at Melrose High School.
Several P. 81. s. boys attended the
Boys Conference at Lewiston, and have
given very interesting accounts OF the
trip to their various classes.
A pleasing feature of Sophomore Eng.
lish is the drsmstizing Of Shakespeare
Merchant of Venice"
A bulletin board has been placed In
the lower hall of P. 81. S. A particular
feature of it is a list of the names OF
those students who miss three or more
words in spelling, those who are tardy,
or those who are reported for conduct.
This list is published daily.

The school fair and entertainment will
be given on February 9th as planned, In
spite of the recess. The boys and girls
are all working hard to make 1t q sue
cess, but it is reported that there is lack
OF CO. operation on the part of the towns
people. This fair and entertainment is
given wholly for the benefit of the high
school students. The people must real
ize that without help in the matter of
fancy articles, food, and general encour.
sgement, the pupils are really helpless.
They themselves can make many of the
articles and do great deal Of the work
il they have little real help and lots of
encouragement. The faculty can't visit
every home nor keep on track of every
student to see that he is doing his share
of the work, and it is necessary that the
people take keen interest in the work
of the school pupils, or at least are not
guilty of putting obstacles in their way
10 q successful fair.
1t is hoped that there will be q large
number of people who will find 1t con-
vsnisnt to visit the Grange Hall on the
afternoon of the 9th. There will be
fancy articles, aprons, vegetables, pre-
serves, and lots of useful as we'll ss
ornamental articles for sale.
A novelty of the fair will be the for
tune teller's booth. 1t Is reported that
your future can be foretold as truthfully
as the past revealed, so those with shady
pasts had better not visit the department
unless they are curious to find out where
the Jail that they should occupy is locat-
ed.
Program for entertainment at the fair:
/. Folk Dance by l6 Primary boys and girls.
2. Girls Glee Club.
8. Reading by Miss Helen Tracy.
4. Farce, "At the Junction"

tion," is:
