SCHOOL NOTES

The time for the May festival and
the school exhibit has been definitely
set for Friday. May goth. The after
noon classes will be dismissed in or
der to get ready for the afternoon
performance which will be given at
three O'Clock. A second performance
will be given in the evening al 8
O'Clock. Instead OF giving the per-
Torrance in the gymnasium as was
done last year, 1t has been thought
hest to give 1t In the High
School Assembly room, in order to
better accommodate the crowd. We
can seat less than 100 in the Gymna-
stun and about $50 in the Assembly.
An admission charge OF twenty-five
cents will be made to everybody
(school children as we'll as adults)
for the May Festival. not especially
to make money, but to drfray What
ever incidental expenses there are
in costumes. decorations, etc. The
School Exhibit. however, Is free to
everybody. The School Exhibit con-
sists Of the best work OF each grade
and department for the school year.
This work will be placed in various
rooms where the public may see 1t
Friday afternoon or evening. Mr..
Armstrong has kindly offered $4,000
in prizes to be awarded to the various
grades doing the best work in music
and art this year az follows:
a. Five dollars to the grade in
each school building doing the best
work in music;
b. Five dollars to the grade in
each school building doing the best
work in art. A committee OF judges
will be appointed to determine to
whom the awards should be made.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all patrons, parents, and others in
terested in the schools to attend both
the May Festival and the School Elk
hibit. II impossible to attend both
we earnestly request that q special
effort be made to see the exhibit.
Preparations are in full swing for
the commencement season. The
first event is the JuniOr-Senior ban
quet which will be held Thursday of
this week. The banquet is followed
by a dance at the high school gym
nasium for the entire school. The
class honors this year &c to Miss
Moreno K~uykendall. who has been
selected as Valedtctorian for the
class, and to Mr.. Dale Mayor. who
will be the Salutatorian. Judge c..
f, Winter OF Casper has been secur-
ed as the commencement speaker.
More detailed announcement will be
made later regarding the commence
ment program.
The 1921 Roundup, Volume III,
is Just off the press and will be dis
tributed this week. 1t is no doubt
the largest and best annual that the
Rawlins High School has ever pub
lished. The cover is in very attrac-
tive imitation leather paper. stamped
in gold. The High School may well
be proud of an annual such as this,
and great credit is due the annual
staff, the Senior Glass and the whole
high school for cooperating to make
a book such as this possible. Fol
the excellence of the mechanical Tea
lures of the book we are indebted TO
the Rawlins Republican, which has
printed the book. We are fortunate
in having a printing plant here which
can handle this kind OF work so sat
isfactorily.

smaller. These prizes will be OF dis
play in the windows Of the Hays-Hil-
lard Hardware Company beginning
next week.
One Of the boys from the sixth
grade. Earl Holmes. fell from the
rings on the playground apparatus
this week and fractured his wrist.
We are very sorry that this unfortu-
nate accident occurred. As there is
always a chance OF some sort of in
jury on the playground, arrangements
have been made whereby a teacher
will supervise the playground before
school calls and during the recess
periods. We hope this will lessen
the chances for accidents on the play
ground.
The following new teachers have
been elected for next year:
Miss Chloris Mckenzie OF Red
wood Falls, Minnesota. for the De-
partment;
Miss Anita Youell of Decatur,
Michigan. for the second grade; Mr..
e. 8. Krantz OF Petersburg, Virginia,
for Physical Training.
Mr.. Pete Smith, head janitor for
the schools, has returned from Dem
yer, having been at the hospital there
for some time for an operation. He
seems to be greatly improved and
we hope will soon be able to re-
