One Of our leading merchants dis
played the Christmas spirit by Civ.
ing away half a dozen O~vercoats to
as many boys in the schools who
were in need of them. Fortunately

Mr.. Cook. our athletic COACH. IS
making every effort to complete The
basketball schedule Of his season. It
is a rather difficult task, because the
schools are so far apart that no team
will venture out unless it car sched-
ule several games on the trip. In
order to do this and to avoid con-
flicts in schedules a great deal Of
correspondence is necessary, How
ever. there will be a couple of games
|, or more this month. the first game
probably taking place about the
middle Of January. Detailed an

new Meissner piano has just
been secured for the school. This is
a w~ell-known school piano. being
small and very light so that i; can
easily be moved from one room tt
! another. 1t is also small enough 50
J that the music supervisor can play
the piano and look over the top at
the class and direct the singing at
2 the same time. All of the larger
schools of The country have adopted
Sthis piano for use in the schools. The
price of this piano was about $4,000
and was paid for by funds earned by
<ithe music department in giving VAR
ious entertainments.
Mr.. James r. Coxen, State Direct
or of Vocational Education. will be-
! in Rawlins some time before Janu.
ary 10Th to help organize night
I classes in our schools. While the
I plans have not vet been worked out
( in detail. it is planned to give Amer
! icaniZatiOn work to the foreigners
living here. which work will include
, learning to read and write. and also
a course in citizenship preparing for
naturalization. 1t is also likely
that courses in Commercial work and
Manual Training may be offered il
there is sufficient demand for it. The
State of Wyoming bears 2 portion OF
the expense for this work. so that
the expense to the local district is
small. There is great need for this
kind of work, especially the Amer
icanizatiOn work. Those who are in
terested in this kind of work and are
DESTROYS OF enrolling for some night
school work are asked to communi-
cate with Supt. Anderson.

wreath. The funeral service was
held at St. Joseph's church. Rev.
Schellinger officiating.
The Manual Training department
has just completed a large table for
the Carbon County Memorial Hos
pital. This table is very large and
is collapsible. so that the making OF
it involved a good deal of labor on
the part OF THE boys taking manual
training as well az their instructor.
Mr.. McGraw, all Of whom are en-
titled to a good deal OF credit for
helping out the hospital in his way.
