Heart Sale Ceases

| termedlate grades put on a nearl
sale" last week for the benefit of the
Montana Childrens Home. The sale
is now closed and no more hearts
should be offered for sale. The pro.
ceeds amounted to $4,000.
All Of the students have survived
after the Thanksgiving recess, with
the exception of Donald, Austin, and
Vara. AS they have not returned we
are not so sure about them.
The slide, which has been used in
cessantly by the grade students is
having a rest now on account of snow
and colder weather. Sliding is now
good on the hill back of the school.
Judging from the melodious sounds
in the Assembly on Wednesday after
moons the Glee Club must be progress
sing wonderfully.
Radio About Neady
Our Radio will soon be ready. Gene
Kirchner has started installing it and
Mr.. Langly has put up the aerials.
We hope to have the thing working in
the next few days. The set that is
being built will consist of two units.
The first unit will contain three am
plifying tubes. This will make five
stages of amplification.
Interesting School Statistics

The World Won't Wait
In nine times out OF ten
When the whole blamed world"
Is walking over you, and men
Sit down upon you, It's because you
sleep
Just where the wheels of time are
wont to go,
Or if perchance you wake, you
yawn and creep,
AS if you thought the world would
stop and wait
For you--just you.-Browning H. S.
This happened three weeks ago but
we forgot to tell you. Two of our dig
nified teachers, Professor Baldwin
and Wright, went to Kirchner's for
little "stroll' in the Ford. On their
way out they "doctored" Compton's
invalid truck which was enjoying the
view along the road. Having made
their visit they decided to take
shorter CD route to Circle. Mean
while they lost sight of the North
Star, and as their compass was ION
the blink" they proceeded until the
"Fliv'' stopped for a rest. Forced to
abandon the car, they began bon
toward town. Unfortunately
they took the wrong track, and after
walking four miles they met Comp
toms truck lin the same place as be-
fore): in other words, they circled
in the wrong direction. After five
miles more of tedious trudging they
sighted our fair village. We should
offer a course in Astronomy to our
faculty. (Sh; It's a secret.)
