appearances of conditions we shall have
a very successful year.

The senior and junior classes are
very small this year. five girls and two
boys in the one and one boy and six
girls in the other. 1t is to be regret
ed that pupils leave schoolbefore COM
pleting high school work. In the eighth
grade there are about twenty live stu
dents. Why not plan to graduate
cla ss of twenty in 1925? Perhaps the
Alumni Orga nization could be helpful
in working a back -to-schoOl drive.
