HIGH SCHOOL NOTES I Dave Moynihan has entered the High School to complete his studies. We are all glad to see him back and nope we have good time together. | Mir L. c. Pratt has loaned the High School the October issue of the American Forestry which contains several very interesting articles on forestry.
 The High School is holding weekly l spelling contests. The first one was held Friday afternoon. Billy Fields was the best speller
 ] The girls team hopes to be able Ito play the ladies' team in the near future.
 1 The Boys Basketball team of the High School defeated the Finkelstein & Sapiro team Wednesday night by a score of 19 to IS.
 1 The first and second teams of the High School played Friday night. l The General Science class took a trip last Tuesday out to Merchinson I Falls. On account of the trip was written by Helen Downing. I Tuesday of this week the General
 Science class went for walk out the railroad track to Merchinson Falls. The class left about 12:30 and returned about 2:30 p. m. to
 school. The object of this walk was
 to study the work and results of
 water, running or otherwise. espe-
 cially Merchinson Falls, but many in- fteresting examples of the power of water to build and destroy were Itested.
 I A short distance out of the yard
 limits, where a good view of the lake was obtained, we saw the ice formed upon 1t and noticed the many cracks in the ice.
 One of the boys happened to ob- serve the frozen ground, and how the
 water in freezing had expanded and lpushed up layer of earth, stones and sticks, which illustrated prin- 4ciple we had already learned-that water frozen exerts a tremendous
 power.
 Upon coming to Merchanson Falls
 we went up to the reservoir to get a better view. It had cut down
 through the rock and earth and made quite a channel and small valley. It had dug into the banks in some places, leaving moss and other vege- l tation hanging over the bank, some what like plants do in hanging baskets.
 1 Coming back we noticed other ef- fleets of water on land. In several lplaces it had washed earth away from 1 the roots of trees leaving them ex- lposed, and in places where the banks iwere cut away we could see differ ] ent layers of earth and the roots of
 moss and other plants. The smaller falls along the way had cut channels similar to that of
 Merchanson Falls, and one had made a small delta extending out into the
 lake by bringing down gravel and depositing it when it. met the lake. l The Algebra III. class is now sol wing systems of simultaneous equa- tions by means of detriments. We find this saves much work but re- quires careful thought.
 M & M History students are now studying the medieval architecture and the development of national Ian guages and literatures.
 l After all absences due to -contag- ious or infectious diseases it will be necessary for parent to see that the
 before they may reenter school. Par beTore they may reenter school. Par ents, please take notice of this. Again as the winter season comes on. the Superintendent wishes to ad- wise parents against letting the chill
 dren slide and coast on the walk across from the school. When sev. eral are on the walk there Is danger of some of them being injured by the coasters. The school cannot be
 responsible for any accidents that
 may ocur there.
