A marked improvement was made
in the condition of the school building
during the holidays. Mr.. LeBeau, the
janitor, washed all the backboards,
put in new drinking fountain on the
second floor, and vanished all the
chairs and the desk in the Teachers
Training room. Mr.. LeBeau is with
out doubt the best janitor in South
west Missouri.
