make Delta Junior High just little
better; to make it second to none in
the state.
Then with a few humorous remarks

work
The Junior High School teachers
were most pleasantly surprised Mon
day morning upon their arrival at
school to find that during the vaca-
tion Superintendent Foster. Professor
Deck and Mr.. Ratekin had been busy
fitting up the Teachers Rest Room. A
very pretty blue and tan rug. beauti-
full robe for the couch. white enamel
ed table and several pleasing pictures
were among the articles found. These
were Christmas and New Years gifts
to the teachers, for which we are in
deed very grateful. Different ones-are
already busily engaged in hemming
curtains and drapes and making pill
lows-the little finishing touches
wherein the male sex fall short.
The manual training shop was
scene of busy activity during the week
before Christmas. Quite a number of
boys completed their projects in time
to make their friends and relatives
very nice Christmas presents. Since
the holidays work in the department
has taken on very business-like at
titude. The boys as whole are back
at their projects with a new deter
mination and interest in their work.
Quite a number OF articles have been
completed by the boys which are
real credit to them. Three library
tables left the shop during the holi-
days. Three magazine racks. one
writing table, four upholstered foot
stools. two Sewing. trays. one porch
swing, and many other small articles
we're also completed. The department
at present is working on table for
the ladies' rest room in the J. II. 8.
building. The department is also re-
pairing tables and chairs for the pri-
mary department. Harold Robinson
has nearly completed his buffet We
do not know yet how Orville Beatty
managed to get his library table in
whether he had to take out the door
casing or not. Alvin Ewing is fur
nishing room with articles which
he himself is making. He Just com
pleted library table. We wonder II
he has any serious intention or not.
Under the direction Of Mrs. Flor
ence White, teacher of domestic
science. the girls in the graduating
class OF the Junior High School have
planned MILDLY and Skirt" costume
for the graduating dress. The MILDLY
and skirt are to be made OF white
wash material and are to be accom-.
panied by a black tie. Mrs. White
and the girls are to be commended
for their good Judgment in planning
a simple costume for the close Of
school. Each girl 10 expected to make
her own graduating dress, under the
direction Of Mrs. White. This will be
a fine project for the sewing class for
the remainder of the year. Arrange.
ments will be made for . display Of
the garments in some window down.
