HIGH School Notes.

more regularly and each one of u:
help to keep up the record Of oul
school.
The junior English classes are study
ing Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
We find the old English dialect very
hard to read and translate, but be.
fore we finish we expect to be able tc
read it as well as we can read English
now.
1t would be good idea if the JAM
tor would fasten several of the boys
chairs to the floor as several of them
have tipped over their chairs. This
might save several accidents as well
as disturbances.
The high school intends to have a
presidential campaign pretty soon.
1t promises to be both exciting and
profitable.
We are looking forward to more
music this year. Miss Snider, the
music teacher, has taken charge Of the
girls glee club of the senior high and
Professor Hall is going to take charge
Of the boys glee club.
We have heard that Miss Snider
says she is very we'll pleased with the
senior high singing. The singers take
this means Of thanking her for the
compliment.
Report cards We're given out last
week and many pupils were surprised
at the marks they received, but in two
different ways. Some received
higher mark sthan they had
ever received before and others lower
ones. Let us all get better marks next
month and help to raise our school
standard.
The pennants which the senior high
school students had in their assembly
last year were transferred to the new
senior assembly this year by Marion
Mark.
The students in the French class
are progressing very rapidly, and all
seem to like the subject very much.
The Rotations are conducted almost
entirely in French. Before the end of
the course prospects are that the
Princeton high school will turn out
some regular Frenchmen.
The senior high school had two Wis
itors last week from the junior as
sembly. One seat Of honor was in the
English class rooN, the other was
placed in front Of the assembly room.
During the next two weeks the sew
ing class will be doing interesting
work. Any one who wishes to learn
the history of the sewing machine,
needles, pins, buttons, and so forth,
should visit this class and learn about
it.
Those pupils who are so overcome
by fatigue that they must go to sleep
during class time have the sympathy
of their schoolmates and teachers.
The girls taking sophomore sewing
course have completed their wash
blouses and have started to make
wooden dresses.
The modern history pupils are wait
ing impatiently for the new text
books. 1t is great inconvenience to
have to borrow the books from the
few pupils who have them.
The domestic sewing girls think Mr..
Martinson must be equally as skilled
in sewing as in manual training be-
cause. he's continually asking Miss
Reycraft for needles and thread.
The Senior High School Self Govern
ment association-The rules for self
government were read to the senior
high school on October 6, by Mae
Howard. All the Sophomores, Juniors
and Seniors enrolled in the Senior high
are supposed to make it their duty to
strictly obey the rules of self-govern-
ment. If student does any wrong
he is sent to the justices of the peace
and they decide how many dement's
he is to receive for the offensc. When
he has certain number of dement's
against him he is expelled from school
for not over two weeks. At the end
Of the required time he may go back
providing that he promises to strictly
obey the rules of the self-government
association. A meeting was held Mon.
