IN MEMORIAM
OF Our Dear Mother, Mrs. Willie
Dinger.

Home is not home,
For Mothers not there,
Angels have taken her out of our
care.
Dark is her room
Empty her chair;
She has gone to that home so
peaceful and fair.
Gone are the seasons to come and
go.
Wreating her grave in blossoms and
snow.
Snow on breast that sheltered US so,
Cruel and cold as the bleak winds
that blow;
Sleep Mother, sleep;
Thy tolls are Ger;
Sweet be the rest so oft needed be-
fore;
Well we have loved you;
But God loved you more;
He called you away to that bright,
happy shore.

the meeting Of the Prairie High
way commissioners in this city
last Monday and laid before them
the plans for financing that sec

der way
County Commissioners Ruble,
Lowrey and Longeteig were also

Nezperce High School.

On October 26 the first six
weeks reports were given out to
the High School students. The
Honor Roll includes those stu
dents having an average of 80 or
above. They were:
Charles JamisoR, "a; Maud
Jamison, SO; Fannie Farrar, 80 I;
Gabrielle Robertson, 80; Audrey
Stapleton, 81; Mabel Mitchell,
90; Herschell Basket, 80; Ell
wood johnson, 90; Vernon Thom-
as, 80.
These represent the average of
only the scholastic subjects, the
department grades not being
counted. The reason for so few
names on the Honor Roll is that
the Nezperce High School is try
ing to raise its standards of schol-
arship, so that it may compare
favorably with other schools.
The grade school reports for
the second month are being given
out today. There, too, the marks
are somewhat lower because of
the raising of school standards.
The Freshmen have at last be-
come full-fledged initiated mem
bers of High School society. A
much delayed party of welcome
was given them in the school gym
on Oct. %. They survived the
terrors and mysterious intricacies
of initiation admirably well. The
High School is indeed proud to
own this plucky class.
Mr.. Hubbard, of the Spokane
College, gave a very interesting
talk to the High School student
body on Nov. Z. Mr.. Hubbard
spoke to the High School last
year, also, and we were very glad
to have him with us again.
